Wow, this is oddly familiar. I wrote some software for my company to crunch tons of payment numbers on demand which eventually boil down to writing ACH files in plaintext and SFTPing them to SVB(although SVB really only processes them twice a day).

I'm pretty stoked Stripe is supporting ACH now as I have other products that customers would like to pay with ACH rather than credit. But I don't think the Stripe product just released will help send money from control accounts(and replace SVB origination), just accepting incoming ACH payments from customers to our own company accounts.

Zappa writes at length about the role of the saxophone even in his early career ( late 50s/early 60s ).

Guitars came in strong ( outside jazz/C&W ) with Sun Studios, but about the time Elvis joined the Army, it was Brill Building songs and piano. The Beatles then brought the guitar to prominence, but even then, almost as a stage prop more than an instrument - not to knock 'em as really good rhythm players but the solos were a bit rough. They caught flack for it, too.

One thing to consider - guitar players had to get better. Even for "stuff I'd played at 14" guys like Tommy Tedesco were ringers on everything recorded in LA until the bands got to where the members could play their own parts ( roughly at the time of Buffalo Springfield & The Byrds ). Same basic thing in England; Yardbirds/Zep and all that.

Horn players were already deeply established as serious players long before this, back to the 1930s.

Basically there are a few dangerous ways glaciers can react nonlinearly, raising sea level (from watching a few videos).

Perhaps best is to watch this long presentation by Eric Rignot from NASA JPL a few times, it's very fascinating and also terrifying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p9uRxX95f4

Imagine two kilometers of glacier sitting on bedrock that's 500 meters below sea level. The glacier doesn't touch sea water because there's higher ground between it and the sea, though still below sea level, and also that's blocked by ice. If that blocking ice melts, the warm and salty water can then touch the big glacier that then starts melting and calving icebergs.
Or if the glacier is on higher ground, it can start directly sliding towards the sea.

There are multiple glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica that each could contribute one meter to sea level rise, that the scientists are watching. Eric Rignot named the parts between the glacier and the sea Flood Gates.

We haven't observed ice sheet collapses, so it's hard to know how it will play out, how long it will take, one or more centuries. We also can't afford to wait and observe them and only then do something about it.

Nope. She has to get up at 8 so she can be at work by 9. I have to get up by 9:45 so I can be at work by 10.

The core of our day-to-day interaction happens in the evening between the time I come back from the gym and her bedtime. And we also have Saturdays where the whole day is reserved for being spent together.

Have you worked extensively in Javascript and other dynamic languages? In my experience, Javascript is at least 10x worse on nearly every major point he raises than anything else I've seen. The library creators don't have a fucking clue what they're doing, and blindly cargo-cult what the rest of the community is doing (example: micro-libraries). This happens a bit in ruby, but NOTHING on the scale that it happens in javascript.

> ECS is really the only way I'd go with Docker

ECS is AWS-specific, which is perfectly fine for some. But Kubernetes has been amazing for us. It abstracts many of the differences between AWS/Google Cloud, it's open source, and is far more powerful and flexible.

The only issue right now is that setting the cluster up involves running some shell scripts (yuck). We use Google Container Engine (hosted Kubernetes on Google Cloud), so we don't have to deal with that, but the option is there should we ever need to go multi-cloud.

Figured I'd toss that out there for anyone struggling with ECS (it can be a bit rigid) or keeping an eye on things beyond AWS. Kubernetes is still young and rough in areas, but it is a nice, opinionated way to orchestrate containers.

I think the thinking behind dropping the support is something like this:

I use browserify/webpack/node and npm is great. I wish more libs that I use were also on npm so that I wouldnt have to fork/shim them. How can I force other people to use npm? Maybe if I drop bower support for my awesome lib that everyone uses, other libs will follow suit, or perhaps the users will see the light and stop using bower because it sucks.

I use Munchery a lot. It's significantly better than frozen food, and generally better than "quick service" to-heat food from the grocery store.

It generally does taste like decent (not Sysco-provided) chef-created restaurant food, though obviously you lose the composition/presentation aspect of it as a general rule.

And the dishes also come with reheating instructions that are explicit about whether to use an oven or microwave, etc.

Overall the process does a pretty good job of getting food in front of you at the right temperature with the right texture, which is -way- more than I can say for most alternatives, classic food delivery services included.

I more or less suck at food prep and have pulled out some pretty tasty meals from Munchery for just a few minutes time spent. I can genuinely recommend them, though I have no clue if they're the best of competing services or what.

Facebook, Google, and the DOD all rely on yubikeys now to mitigate a lot of remote attack vectors. It is not perfect, but it is well audited by some of the best in the industry and as good as it gets atm. There has never been a situation where a yubikey (or other GPG smartcard) has allowed read access to private keys. The secure elements do their job.

As for this vuln, it was a flaw in pin validation, the secrets were never exposed. An attacker that has physical access to the system using the yubikey could simply wait and intercept the pin without this flaw. Any active agent no matter how it was initiated is subject to hijacking like this.

The pin protects against use when physically stolen, not when in active use by the owner. You get assurances your secrets are never copied, but no assurances they are not being used right in front of you by a third party on a machine you think is trustworthy.

The only way I know to mitigate an attacker hijacking keys like this without significantly inhibiting workflow is configuring automatic ejection and re-enumerate the device on touch. Then ssh talks to gpg agent which blocks and waits on key insertion. You touch it and it completes the ssh handshakes then it auto ejects the moment the operation is over.

Complexity of Python Operations (2013)
I disagree that investors are the cause, though I appreciate the sentiment. Communities develop from leaders, and the only leader Node & Javascript has ever had was Ryan Dahl. From what I can tell, Ryan blindly applied unix principles to the server in a garbage language. I don't know why he thought that was a good idea; maybe he was just fuckin bored. That sentiment, that tiny is better, was like patient zero, and the frontend community with no leader of it's own, cargo-culted it to infinity.

These idiots literally invented a principle that people now refer to as "composibility". Really it means that your library is fucking tiny and does nothing.

The only form of leadership present in the frontend development community are large companies, like Facebook. So what happens is a developer who works for Facebook inherits Facebook's brand power within the community, and a bunch of junior developers who don't have a clue assume developer X is Uncle-fuckin Bob. Inmates running the asylum.

There is no pragmatic thought leadership in Javascript; only children looking for recognition and a podium at an O'Reilly conference.

My tongue-in-cheek scheme: Operate a "lottery disappointment insurance" company. For (say) $1.50 you register your numbers with us, and we promise to pay out what you would have won had you bought a $2 ticket on the real lottery. Any large insurance company could easily afford the payout, and there should be sufficient spread between the official ticket price and the expected win to make it profitable.

Only downside is that if by some fluke it is not already illegal, it would be made illegal in a flash.

If I'm correct, you're showing this as a counter example to prove that the two have incompatible APIs and are thus LoDash can't be used ad a drop in replacement. However, Lodash does alias it's 'forEach' function with 'each', so this wouldn't be an issue?
I'd like movies to go more for a kind of "social proof". Part of the reason Star Trek, especially TNG, raised a generation of scientists and engineers is because science and engineering there is normal. Not mundane, but normal. Every protagonist and background character in this world is highly educated; no one is surprised by it, nobody boasts about it - it's just how everyone are. Even that dirty Klinon thug knows more science and engineering than your average university graduate. It's just normal, and I think it reflects on the audience.

Besides thinking, there's a huge value in portraying accurate science and technology. Even if it's background, not core of the plot. Pretty much everyone in the West learns stuff from TV and cinema, whether they like it or not. Especially if one doesn't know about something beforehand, the movie will set baseline expectations about that thing. Think how most people seem to believe that people will explode when exposed to vacuum - thanks to decades of movies that told them exactly that. If people are going to learn from TV, they may as well learn the correct stuff.
As a game developer it's very easy to get jaded about user feedback. The more you read it the more you start to feel like the players are ignorant and the game would be better off without them.

It's important to remember that any time someone complains, there is a legitimate problem behind it somewhere.

The issue is that users don't come to you with problems, they come to you with bad solutions. "Make this monster easier" "Make this item drop more often", etc etc.

It's easy to start thinking that if you did what all the players wanted then the game would be entirely bland and give you so many rewards all the time that they become meaningless.

The trick is to try and reverse engineer the problems from the solutions that they are giving you, and then come up with good solutions to fix their real problems.

I have a nice anecdote to share. Years ago I was in the dev team for the website of a new major mobile operator in Italy. When the first version went to production, there was a wave of sign ups from customers, but in the following days we received a lot of support calls from customers who had signed up but couldn't access their accounts. We started analyzing the problem and noticed two things:

1) the customers who couldn't sign up had used illegal characters in their usernames - there was no validation in place to prevent this: bad mistake;

2) most of these customers, literally hundreds of them, had signed up with usernames containing lots of asterisks. Many usernames looked like lillo* * * * * or bobby* * * * *.

I didn't give much weight to this, assuming (wrongly) that it was just a coincidence. Only a guy in my team kept thinking there had to be an explanation, until he nailed it: it was the signup form that said "fill in the fields with asterisk". So we added the damn validation and clarified the copy.

I remember reading sometime ago that the creators of LoDash strived to maintain drop-in compatibility with Underscore, and that if breaking changes between the two libraries were to occur, an announcement would be made.

Tried it -- it doesn't work on my Linux laptop touch-screen, because hand gestures count only as mouse moves, not drags. Windows might differ.

Pretty slick. Now to get it as an open-source app.

While I do think human rights are a good idea, the focus seems to be carefully selected to as to make "bad" countries look bad and western countries look good. For the US, it's OK to kill people as long as you do it a bit randomly in a war instead of being too targeted, or as long as you do it to foreigners not your own citizens and you try to kill them quickly instead of using deliberate torture. If you do use torture, it should be psychological (solitary confinement) rather than physical. It's also OK to kill people by leaving them in an unsafe environment surrounded by killers (poor neighborhoods) without providing enough security or enough income to buy their way out. It's also OK to kill them in the name of economic progress by allowing cars to drive at speeds which regularly cause death. Somehow we accept these things as tolerable or even necessary but we don't realize that classic "bad country tortures dissidents" human rights abuses are equally necessary - they do the same thing wars do - secure the positions of governments against people who want to take them over. Even the name "dissident" is misleading - If we called Falun Gong members "traitors", that might make them sound like bad people and engender less public sympathy.
