I get visual migraines and your comment reminds me of the experience. Perception of light is often out of the norm for me. Sometimes I will see lights that aren't there. Sometimes I will have certain visual triggers for these effects.
It won't get you a elite status, just a status slightly better than the normal flyer -- and free tickets too.

The lowest tier on the major US carriers is 25k qualifying miles/year. So to maintain the lowest-level status on two of them requires 50k miles/year, and to maintain that on all three requires 75k/year (and remember these are qualifying miles -- you can't get them from pudding cups or other promotions, and while there are ways to get more qualifying miles than you've flown, you either have to actually put your butt on a plane or spend a lot of money on a credit card).

Coincidentally, 50k is the next tier up on all three airlines, and 75k is the third tier up on two of the three (American is the odd one out, with only three tiers instead of the four at Delta and United). And to be frank, the "benefits" of the lowest tiers on all three are garbage. You might, if you're lucky, score an extra-legroom seat a few times a year on Delta, for example, or maybe once or twice get an upgrade on a domestic flight (but only if it's not on a busy route).

So if you're going to fly enough, you really should aim to get worthwhile status on one airline before spreading miles around to others.

(I'm currently Executive Platinum on AA and Platinum on DL, and know whereof I speak on the worthlessness of the lower tiers, since I've had to put up with them in the past)
They might be trying to unify their product offering across desktop and mobile. This would mean less things they have to optimize for, therefore more money in the long run.
> Of course, one should not conclude that cryptographic algorithms using similar constants are systematically insecure (certainly, some designers are honest!) and we will not dispute the right to trust those algorithms.

I'm reminded a controversial aspect of the design of DES. The values of the S-Boxes were unjustified, and some people feared they constituted a backdoor (much like what's alleged with Dual-EC-DRGB). It turns out that in fact they were specially chosen to strengthen DES against a cryptographic attack that the NSA was trying to keep secret.

I understand why people want to rewrite C libraries and such in Rust.

Software like glibc is battle-tested---it is _widely_ used on hundreds of thousands of systems around the world, and has been used (though not at today's massive scale) for decades. I understand that glibc is under active development and there is a lot of new code, but let's keep this in perspective:

Writing a new implementation of a system is a huge opportunity to introduce bugs. There is focus on these specific problems, but in the broader scheme of things, glibc is remarkably stable, performant, and feature-rich. A new implementation will have bugs, and those bugs might be less likely to be caught simply because the system will not be as widely used for quite a long time. Even formally proven systems don't address flaws in the actual program specification. (See "The Limits of Correctness" by Brian Cantwell Smith for a good discussion). Also relevant (which I'm reminded of in part because of his recent death): Peter Naur's Programming as Theory Building.

So even _new_ code to glibc has the benefit of a huge community of both developers are users to eyeball it and test it out in production on a huge number of systems.

So rewriting glibc may solve certain problems, but it's bound to create a whole lot more, considering the narrow range of issues that are being focused on. New Rust code will have undiscovered issues too, even if they're not memory or stack related. I feel that this effort might be better spent fixing and finding problems with glibc---and continuing the development of tools to find those problems, to benefit _all_ of our old C libraries and programs---than rewriting for the sake of rewriting.
On the 1st page of DDG the first organic result is to Vistaprint's homepage and then later down the page is a result for Vistaprint's business cards page. Duplicate search results for Zazzle, 123print, and overnightprints as well.

I understand that you've not found Google's paid results to be high quality and that they take up a lot of real estate, but they are definitely relevant and their organic results are more distilled and better than DDG.

That said, I'm much more easily influenced when someone I know and trust tells me about a service they've used personally and vouched for, which was how I found Moo for business cards.

Imagine a balance with an arm that can be somehow folded in half again and again (think a snap bracelet. Those are rigid in one direction and stiff bent in the other). Fold the beam in half and mark the center. Use this point as the fulcrum to balance two objects. Pick the side that comes up. Divide this side in half and use this new half way point as the new fulcrum. starting with 0. if the beam reads on the heavy side, write down a 1. If reads on the light side, write a 0. Eventually you'll have 0.101000101110101 or some such. This is the ratio of the weights of the two objects in base 2. You can binary search the ratio of the weights.

Yes we are in broad agreement. The only consolation I see is that the media echo chamber that reinforces this distraction is slowly becoming less effective at that task.
~Don't you hate it when you ask that question out of curiosity, and then the person you asked gets all mad that you didn't give them either coffee or tea afterward?~

The question has several possible responses. "No, thank you," means the person wants neither coffee nor tea. "Coffee, please," and "tea, please" mean just what you think. "Yes, please," means that either coffee or tea would be acceptable, and the respondent is indifferent to which one.

This usually means "I'll take one of whatever you're having," and is probably intended to be less burdensome to the host, by allowing them to choose what they would prefer to serve rather than forcing them to defer to their guest.

Of course, the person might be trying for a cheap laugh rather than politeness. In that case, it would be appropriate to wait a beat, chuckle, optionally make a flirtatious gesture (such as a wink or arm touch), then ask "So either one is fine?"
The problem is that there is no probable cause for blanket license plate scanning per se - but there are certain cities that mandated ACTUAL companies to install license plate scanners/cameras on their private buildings to scan all cars driving by - then forced companies to try to keep this secret.

If the title asks a question that can be answered in the title, then it is probably a clickbait title. It is generally accompanied by a title with the pronoun "you" (e.g. "you wouldn't guess") or exclamation of surprise at the contents of the article.

> Having been homeless at one point, I've become a bit of a hoarder, because you never know when things will go south and you are one month away from being homeless (again).

It goes both ways, though, doesn't it? Now you need to find a larger apartment to keep around your dining table, toilet paper collection, books. Was that worth keeping them around? Some things yes, other things no.
Possibly because it inconvenienced them: by delaying their flight, or by making them feel social anxiety if they were asked to move or moved away from.

Or they may have felt sympathy with others inconvenienced, like the flight crew and passengers.

It seems like a pretty natural, human thing to dislike being inconvenienced. I dislike it myself, in fact -- don't you?

People have good criticisms about e-readers like the Kindle. It's not great for technical books. It can be a little laggy and not as sensory compared to paper books.

While I miss the physical look of having rows of beautiful books decorate a place, I don't mind having more open space for my psyche and other activities (music).

http://science.raphael.poss.name/rust-for-functional-program...

I personally think Rust isn't functional, but rather multi-paradigm with a strong functional influence. But if you were to add TCO and a few other features, I think Rust would be a full-blown functional language, so it may get there yet.

In any case, it's useless arguing over (should have known better than say anything), so this will be my last word on the issue.

I feel so close to this guy; I can relate to him so much.

I don't think I've lived in a house for longer than two years in my entire life. I've lived in different cities, provinces, and even countries. I naturally keep the amount of "stuff" that I own down to an amount that can be packed up into one car/truck load. I love the sense of freedom that comes with being able to pick up and go somewhere else in a day.

I also share the thoughts on gifts. Christmas time a Birthdays I always tell people to not get me anything and I their gift to me is a good dinner and time spent with each-other. If they have to get me something then it's the essentials like clothing or consumables. I like having a small set of core, quality items such as my clothing, cameras, and laptop/phone. Everything else is temporary.

Come family time this will change, but for now I'm happy living simply.

> New Rust code will have undiscovered issues too, even if they're not memory or stack related.

Memory issues have a tendency to be the most severe types of issues from a security perspective. (Not always, but with a high frequency.) Other issues that may occur with a rewrite may be security problems as well, but the security track records of network-facing software written in old-timey C speak for themselves: memory safety issues make up a huge fraction of their vulnerabilities.

> I feel that this effort might be better spent fixing and finding problems with glibc---and continuing the development of tools to find those problems, to benefit _all_ of our old C libraries and programs---than rewriting for the sake of rewriting.

So we've been trying that for the past 35 years since C was released in 1978, and we've completely failed to move beyond making the same basic memory management errors again and again and again. I think that if we couldn't do it in 35 years, we aren't likely to be able to by just trying a little harder this one time.

Acquire stuff, give unwanted stuff to people who want it.. its really not that hard.
"Curve25519 was designed to be as fast as possible, with no security compromise. This is both a strength and a potential weakness:

a strength because it gives a valid argument that no trapdoor was introduced in the design,
a potential weakness because Curve25519 uses a very specific prime field. As of now, no attack exploiting this specificity is known.

For applications where speed is paramount, Curve25519 is probably the best option. But for most applications, where losing a little on the efficiency side is "not a big deal", Million Dollar Curve is probably the safest choice."

Sorry, no. Many more eyeballs have been on Curve25519 and DJB reputation, both of which gives me _more_ confidence in that than any new alternative.

Secondly, the implementation is as important as the design. Again, Curve25519 have vetted implementations, something which takes time.

Finally, the notion that speed is a liability is ludicrous. The lack of speed is a major liability.

Move along, nothing to see here.
I don't really enjoy getting presents all that much because I've attained a certain comfort in life. But, it doesn't seem to me that I had to consider much or stress a lot about where I could donate gifts or items I don't want. There's Baras Foundation, Goodwill, AmVets, shelters, schools, so so many people happily ready to receive anything you give them.

Ok, you don't want stuff, but spare me the stress you feel around your family/others not understanding you. Use your energy in a more friendly and giving way and maybe you'll find that it's a bonus to receive the chance to get out in your community, meet and share and give to those that could use a leg up.

I bet once you cycle back and tell your family and friends about the people and places and experiences you now have after donating things, they'll understand. Some will have a hard time with it, but I doubt for long.

I get a bonus item every 5 yrs at my company. Couple years ago received a 60" TV, took me all of a minute and one email to a local school in need and they drove over and picked it up.
If it's at the price of clarity, yes, that is exactly the last thing any respectable developer would want.

The problem is, clarity for who? For the developer? For another, equally skilled developer? Or for the developer's less skilled coworkers? For the least skillful coworker? To whom does the code need to be clear?

But that's something you have to live with, especially when on an airplane. I don't see why someone would make a big deal out of that.
I remember being a sophmore in college and I understood the basics of haskell (not really monads yet) and we worked in groups. My partner was very intelligent, but didn't have a grasp on the language at all.

For the final project, we had a problem that I didn't understand well, but he couldn't use the language effectively. We ended up having him work out the problem incorrectly in a shared notepad and I would refactor his broken code into something that worked. It was a mess. I'm pretty sure I've seen worst things you can possibly build in haskell -- and they are bad.
Presumably that power is reciprocal. My wife and I have shared assets/cash flow; there is no way we could have made our budget balance earlier in our marriage without it.

More float time before becoming homeless. You already have the toiletries and food staples for the next 3 months, so you can focus money towards that rent payment and job interviews. Not sure what "stuff" the parent was referring too though..
I take the opposite conclusion. If god forbid things do go south and you become homeless, it's much worse having to figure out what to do with a lot of stuff, than if you have minimal stuff to begin with. There was recently a story in the Austin subreddit about a guy who was evicted, and all of his furniture and other stuff was put out on the apartment complex lawn, to be quickly picked up and carted off by his neighbors...

Hm. I've heard of at least two major non-enterprise vendors that still use XMPP a lot: Google (GCM, Chrome Sync) and EA (Origin).

I'm also not sure a technology needs even one vendor to live. Say, BitTorrent surely didn't care whenever it's used by big corps or not.
I haven't personally experienced something like this, but I can come up with a few reasons.

1) maybe I just don't want to switch seats. Maybe I'm already settled in, maybe I like the fact that it's a window/middle/isle seat, etc.

2) imagine someone refuses to sit next to you, stating the reason as "that person is ugly" or "that person's choice of wardrobe disturbs me". If that happened to me, I'd certainly be offended and might refuse to move out of principle (though personally, I'd rather the flight was on time than make a statement). Those reasons are different from "I can't sit next to a woman", but they also refer to superficial, and frankly, childish, things.
What most people believe has little or nothing to do with mathematical estimates. I know that's not the point of the article, but I think it's worth noting -- empiricism and reason are ineffective ways to convince the average person of something that they aren't already ideologically aligned with.
They don't know the difference between both because everything has been done to make no difference between them. Before they where pink, then they were white-ish, now they are completely white (like the results), now side ads are moved and pushed to the list of results along with the rest, which makes it even harder for average users to see a difference.

But yeah, I'm sure making ads look like results brings more clicks. The downside of that is Google basically becomes more and more unusable for queries directly generating money (like "buy <something>").
>Painters don't stick to just three pigments, but all the pigments they use CAN be created by mixing three primaries in different proportions.

No. Paint is not light, and has physical properties that constrain what you can do with them. Some colors just don't mix well together, so you'll find recommendation on what exact type of pigment work best for specific mixes.
