I did not know that. It is a big challenge to get the best value out of the traditional partners in the automotive space: Labor (UAW), Dealers, and Suppliers.

And by challenge, I mean it is a big mess.

Also, call me a fuddy duddy, but OTA updates for automobiles SCARE me. They should scare Tesla as well, and I hope they do. They've done well for now; in 5 years will they still have the same discipline? That being said - the OTA mechanism has a HUGE value proposition and they absolutely deserve the kudos they got for it.
The surprising thing is not the bug, it's that go didn't verify the result of the CRT calculation. That's a standard countermeasure (although not present everywhere, Florian Weimer recently did some work on patching implementations that were lacking this check).

And nit: The OpenSSL bug didn't affect libressl (I discovered it, I checked for that).

Hi! Thanks for explanation and another cool product!

One question that just came to my mind regarding this: Have you thought about a configurable/modular build where this interpreter/simple jit/full jit can be switched? Or is this perhaps already there?

I can think of some use cases where it would be interesting to build a modern and full featured JS engine in interpreter-only mode. E.g. to integrate it into platforms which don't allow JIT (iOS), to reduce the footprint or the attack surface. Or to be able to port it the other platforms without much effort - in the embedded domain there are still other processors than x86 and arm and other OSes than Windows, Linux and OSX floating around.

Short version: it is fun.

If you do mental math, it makes exercises way more fun if you know more interesting numbers. The 16x18 example is an example.

For another example, consider

42x49

When primed by 16x18, one might consider writing it as

(45-3)x((45+3)+1) = 45^2-3^2 + 42 = 2025 - 9 + 42 = 2058

(This works for many pairs of numbers that are relatively close together, only requires one 'large' multiplication, and that one is simple, as stated in the article)

But of course, half-way through, one may realize it is

6x7 x 7x7 = 7^4 - 7^3

Now, 7^3 = 343 (easy to remember in combination with 3^5 = 243), but 7^4 = 2401, for me, doesn't pop out (when you say 2401, I know it's 7^4, but not vice versa)

Meanwhile 49 is close to 50, so we have

42x50 - 42 = 2100 - 42 = 2058

That is faster, but somewhat dull.

Meanwhile, as far as we know, the savant calculator just takes the dull road, adding 40x40, 40x(2+9), and 2x9, doesn't get distracted, and produces the right answer in a tenth of the time I take. He has less fun, though, because I take detours to visit tourist attractions.

It also can make taxi rides more fun.
Agreed, hence why composite widget support in GTKmm would be really nice. In Vala you just make a normal class inheriting from whatever your base widget is, decorate it with a [GtkTemplate] attribute and whenever you construct that widget it will use the gtkbuilder XML you referenced in the attribute to construct the widget, binding all the callbacks referenced in the XML with the respective methods on the class.

Until recently C++ hasn't even had compile time reflection that would allow this to work very well, now that C++14/C++17 are adding that I think this would be very doable.

Yep. For notes there is little justification for the full complexity of LaTeX, the most one needs is islands of LaTeX math. And you don't even need TeX installed — html with mathjax/katex is more flexible most of the time (but Pandoc will easily convert to latex/beamer when you need them).

I have a theory that a single pane styled in-place is nicer for quick writing than 2 source+preview pane. Typora, Texts.io, and my own https://mathdown.net do that.

If you do want full latex, try Overleaf.com, which has "rich text" mode where many constructs (sections, lists, math) are styled in-place (you could even hide the PDF pane).
UC Berkeley: Remote Queries on Encrypted and Compressed Data on Cassandra [pdf]
There's always been a divide between algorithm design and analysis (covered in TAOCP and most algorithm books), and hardware implementation details like pipeline stalls, cache performance, and branch prediction.

That doesn't mean the algorithm books are useless, it means they give you a bunch of options, and you have to decide which algorithms and data structures will perform best on the specific hardware you're using.

But, at the same time, TAOCP is terrible as a practical algorithms book. It's perfect for graduate level algorithms classes deep diving into mathematical proofs and analyses, but for practical, "real life" coverage I prefer Skiena's "Algorithm Design Manual."

A look at the PaaS landscape that doesn't mention AWS (Elastic Beanstalk) or Azure is a very weird look.

Why is it getting harder for randos to succeed in PaaS? Because they're competing with Amazon and Microsoft, and that's hard.
Yes, but the article says you can use a temporary number to verify. If you can get a temp number on a computer for sms, then switch to the gv one for use, would calling over tor work?
I think that use case was implied by the OP:

With Netflix or other streaming services 50,000 TVs is 50,000 individual streaming sessions. With a broadcast 50,000 people watching the same thing is 1 broadcast.

Multicast is effectively broadcast -- it's (theoretically) great if what you're distributing is a live video stream. But we're moving toward a world where the vast majority of what we're watching is on-demand. While I could be wrong about this, my strong suspicion is that the technology hasn't gotten better in the last decade; most implementations just don't scale to the level that a service like ESPN would require (i.e., millions of nodes reliably receiving HD video), and I'm not even sure most commercial Internet backbones support multicast.
I know, and I don't mean to single you out, it just gets tiresome when the top-voted HN comment always seems to be critical. I felt this post in particular deserved better.

It was even more funny because while I was waiting for the comments to load I was thinking, "This is an awesome tool, but I bet the top comment is going to be some obscure reason not to like it."
Haven't used it myself, but the Xiaomi (http://amzn.to/1UPTQNl) is a popular GoPro clone that sells for cheap and has been reviewed surprisingly well. Low light is probably still in the GoPro's favor, but check out some YouTube comparisons -- they're not far off.

IMO, GoPro's biggest issue is usability, and it's an area where they could fight back against cheap knockoffs. GoPro cameras are frustrating to use, and editing hours of footage is not something most people enjoy doing. A commenter above suggested most owners use the GoPro a few times and then forget about it. Usability is, IMO, why.

> That's what they tried to do so GE left the state

This is what happens when states and nations have ridiculous tax laws and rates. People and corporations leave. If anything, we should be advocating CT fix their corporate tax laws, because it's costing them tax revenue.

> dodge taxes they're meant to legally owe using loopholes

That's the law you are describing. These so-called "loopholes" are parts of the tax code specifically inserted to allow people (and corporations) the ability to reduce their annual tax liability. Nobody (and no corporation) does any wrong by using the law to their advantage.

Change the law (remove the loopholes) if it's upsetting. Otherwise, they're doing things the right way.

And forcing student pilots to get background checks (by the TSA, what could possibly go wrong) before flying solo.
I get why that would jump out immediately and you'd stop reading from there on, but straight after that block of code, from the article:

"Now I'm certain that a lot of readers will have something to say about the style or the efficiency of this shell script, I just wrote it that way to highlight what steps need to be taken:

it retrieves a TXT record, and doesn't output anything if the record doesn't exist
if unbound-host has not confirmed that the record was correctly DNSSEC signed, it doesn't output anything
if the above is successful, it filters out the text to return only the public key
it doesn't try to do anything complex, because complexity is the enemy of security (or at least, that’s a point of view that I share with a few people)
it works with multiple records

I'm sure you will write your own program to do the above. Just make sure it works only when you want it to. It is critical to ensure that it doesn't return anything at least when:

a record for the corresponding user doesn't exist
the records are not signed or not properly signed
the local copy of the root key (/var/unbound/root.key, here) is corrupted.

Convenient how they managed to get a handout so large it convinced them to move their international headquarters, yet so small it doesn't negatively affect their competition.

I have been using R# on a large (10k types, 100 projs) project for many years without feeling any performance problems unless the files are thousands of lines. I don't use the "full solution analysis" though. Unresponsiveness is common for example when reloading projs after fetching new code from version control, but I never attributed that to R#

Should add that this is a vanilla C# sln, there is no C++, no web projs etc. Just C#. That could matter.
Technology stocks are a terrible sector to look at on the long term because there's so much churn. A company with one product that's saturating the market and/or being bypassed by the competition usually never recovers. All they showed is that they happened on a good product/market fit once and were able to execute, but can they reproduce this with a different product? Even Apple struggles with this now (Apple Watch) and they've had multiple record successes.
So give a more informed account
Best of luck to you!
Could you define "hellbanned" for me? I've seen that term several times, but I don't know what it actually means.
I was on their beta and still have it today. I don't watch it a lot, and only really use it for ESPN and background noise.

But every time I'm about to cancel, there's a big matchup on ESPN that makes me say "just one more month". And then since I have it I throw it on as background noise again. It's a vicious cycle.
GoPro's aren't waterproof either, they require a waterproof housing.
Those practices use purpose-built software, not Outlook or some other Windows-readable program. Microsoft also offers HIPAA-compliant service agreements for such businesses.

If those offices aren't hiring someone who knows those things, they're probably not HIPAA compliant for many other reasons as well.

The Leaders Fund $100M Enterprise Startup Fund
My apologies if I read your comment wrong, but assuming you're being sarcastic:

It really isn't niche. GoPro's target demographic are people engaging in all sorts of activities. Biking, motocross, hiking, surfing, skating, skydiving, regular diving, racing, waterskiing, and so on.

All of these activities would benefit from some or all of the metrics parent listed.
Silly thing to nit, off topic, etc.

Firstly, the faq says not to ask this kind of question here, but to email them. Have you done that?

Secondly, many things on HN are automated, the volume of work would be too large otherwise. Consider, you submit item after item, getting no comments and no upvotes. I'm not surprised an automated system would mark it as probable spam, especially since you've never commented on anything else. You have been behaving just as a spammer would.

Which takes me back to the first point: have you asked the mods? Complaining here just makes you look bad.
Seconded. Post also does not mention AWS.

Starting a government-focused startup, their FedRAMP certification is invaluable. No way we could go through that process (multiple years, tens-hundreds of thousands of dollars) and make an affordable product.

Author did make a good point about devs being problem solvers who want to do it themselves. A great sign of a truly senior engineer is focus on the outcomes and offloading the non-business-critical things.

(This isn't to say DevOps isn't important, but unless your business relies on innovative ops as a core piece of what it offers, don't spend time on that.)
It certainly doesn't seem like good long-term planning. I suppose our state traded the Olympics fiasco for this one.
Having never looked at awk aside from its usage in shell one-liners, that code looks really nice. I might have to go learn awk for a bit.
You should make this service free for individuals (hackers) and charge companies.

Companies which pay for the service will be notified of the vulnerability before hackers.

Basically you foster a community of hackers while at the same time charging companies protection money from your own hackers.
Do you need to people to tell you what to do?

Asking other's advice is as stupid as judging a book by its cover.

If you have studied a tad, or read books in the past, there are ways to efficiently evaluate a book:

Read some pages randomly. Think 30s if you liked it. TAOCP is indigest for sure.

Then take a topic for which its relevant. Read it.
Did you learnt something?

A) no, either you or him is an idiot. Go to B)

B) Was it luck? Reproduce nth time (n being left to your choice and whatever)

C) after nth iterations :
- is something interesting worth learning?
- can you understand the book (don't lie to yourself)?
- do you like reading it?

Then look at the tag price. You look at your internal evaluation and buy or not the book according to your needs.

I liked reading part of this book, and i grasped the underlying context fast enough to be so bored (trying to build a consistent mapping between algebrae and code) that I never opened it again.

In microelectronic you learn to draw your logic on Silicium and wire the logic... It is much more powerful and is one of the key concept of parallelism. Geometric approach.

But, this is my subjective opinion of the book. Talent comes with strong balance between opinions and curiosity.

If you want to understand better computers I would suggest to take a look at VHDL rather than TAOCP ... if it SUITS you.

You should be the master in your choices.

Not sure where you're located, but in the US ESPN is a cable/satellite only channel. The only way to get it is with a subscription.

For college sports, they're also the biggest player. The "big" matchups of the week (usually the highest ranked or most interesting teams) in each market are usually played on the major networks that you can pick up with an antenna from the local affiliate. But the rest of the games being televised are carried exclusively* on cable, usually on ESPN channels.

Keep in mind there are 128 Division 1-A (major) programs, and many more 1-AA and lower programs, so there are a LOT of games going on each week. Some games are played during the week, but the very large majority of them are played on Saturday. So there's way more going on then could ever conceivably be carried over the air.

During college football season, there are something like 7 or 8 games playing simultaneously on the various ESPN channels, not including the "Plus" channels that are only available digitally by WatchESPN.

There are a couple others out there (NBC Sports Network and FoxSports come to mind) but neither are bigger in sports than ESPN.

* Depending on where you live, you can also sometimes get radio broadcasts if you live close enough to the school in question that there's a local affiliate that carries the game. Rights for those are handled differently.
The primary idea is that it should be easy to create, modify, and revert something in a pretty standard process. In a 3D modeling program, a user usually has to go in and create some outlines and select vertices and edges and extrude them and further push and pull things from there and deal with polygon issues and so forth. They have to do all this while navigating an interface filled with one million buttons and menu options. I am aiming for something a bit more like Fallout 4's face editor - its still quite limited, but any user can understand it and produce a diverse variety of content (of course, I am extending that to all shapes, not just faces).

For other things, if I introduce some system I'd like it to be unique and have purpose. Many games do GPU-based particle physics for water, and the ability to have this produce any significant interactions isn't that great. My system is CPU-driven, and contains things that are rarely done in games like simulating pressure and a constant fluid mass, which makes for more interesting interactions (you could pour water down the end of one pipe to raise it at the other end, as just one example). Usually people find ways to modify the system that I would not think of (someone made a roller coaster in Minecraft using water canals IIRC).
There was something similar to this when cars first came out. You'd buy the engine and the frame and hire a coach building company to build the body and the interior.
That works out to $180k per employee. If average income per employee is $100k, at a 5% state income tax rate, it would take 36 years to make back the money.
