It should be noted that Capt. Sullenberger was one of those apparently increasingly rare birds, an airline captain with extensive and current hands-on flying experience.

I was not aware of Langewiesche's book until now, so perhaps you can tell us if the automation handled the flare, which I believe would have been the most critical stage of this landing (if the fuselage had broken, as has happened in many other ditchings, it is unlikely that everyone would have made it out.) If so, did those systems compensate for the fact that the wheels were not down and so touchdown would be made on the engine nacelles with the fuselage closer to the surface than for a normal landing? From the video, it appeared to be a near-perfect three-point landing, which is not the attitude an airliner normally lands in.

I'm a bit confused about the title of this post. The actual title of the blog post is "Security Updates Available for Adobe Flash Player (APSB16-08)". The current HN link text is “Adobe is aware of a report that CVE-2016-1010 is being actively exploited”.

I can't help but think that the HN post has that title to give the impression that Adobe knows about an issue and isn't fixing it. But isn't this blog post an announcement about patches that have be deployed for people to install and Adobe included that line to emphasize the importance of the patch?

I used to work support for an agricultural telemetry company, and on helping a user with a laptop-based problem over the phone, he said "lucky we have you smart guys, I'm so dumb". To which I said "I know about computers, but I couldn't concrete in a post. The stuff you find trivial around the farm is stuff I'd struggle with"

I meant every word, too. I mean, I could describe the basic actions of concreting in a post, but I'd do a terrible job of it from both lack of interest in building and lack of practice. If you want a farm to fall apart, give it to me to maintain :)

Your link doesn't imply that. It suggests that "other" is the category replacing iOS in the market, which are no-name brands. Its not a trend where consumers are paying $450 for a Google product, but one where they're paying $200 for something generic. Amazon and the other players are just holding their ground.

On the Apple side, I know people who bought the larger iPhone no longer felt a need for an iPad. I'm sure the same trend is true for Android, so its unclear who exactly is still buying tablets. Could it be people in markets/demographics where they can't get/afford full-featured phones?
Now I know that the nags came with the security patch of IE, which means that I can't even avoid it if I want to have security updates installed. Horrible. How is then that the nag doesn't happen for business users if it's a part of the security patch?

I submitted another related article (and posted a summary) with more emphasis on the specifics, including when this nag does and doesn't appear to be showing up:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11261438

While I'm here, I'll add my voice to the chorus of people who think they're crazy to include not just non-security but clearly not-even-important functionality in a bundled security update. That was a line they should never have crossed, and it's going to cost them much of whatever trust they had left after the earlier GWX unpleasantness and the questionable practices of Windows 10 itself.

Edit: In fact, this Business Insider article seems to be a thin wrapper for the more detailed Infoworld one I submitted before, which is here:

I've worked with many systems like this and know that notifications are too easy for individuals to ignore. Your primary action should be to open an issue in a bug tracking system, and let that system trigger the email/instant notification. This helps teams get a better picture of bug volume/impact/area over time, allows for prioritization of work and ensures issues don't get lost during major bug storms.

Also, being able to link a bug conclusively to a changeset, build or a deployment ID would be very valuable. Rather than building lots of deep CI integrations, you could do this by allow users to configure your monitor to look for version numbers in server hints (headers, hidden fields, status pages, etc).
It seems like there are much better ways to do that than the stock market. At least the bond market is more influential on the currency, economy, interest rates, etc.

The point of money laundering is to conceal the path of funds. Changing your money into chips and then your chips into money (at different times) accomplishes this. Casinos are remarkably light on the documentation side compared to financial institutions. When you change money into chips you don't get a receipt or have to sign anything, you just get chips. Similarly, you don't need to do anything special to switch chips back into cash. If you're trying to make the funds look really legitimate you can even pay tax on your gambling "winnings".
According to their about page, that site is using this algorithm http://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.06576.pdf whereas neural-image-analogies is a combination of http://www.mrl.nyu.edu/projects/image-analogies/index.html and http://arxiv.org/pdf/1601.04589v1.pdf

Basically you can do a few other things with image analogies, such as texture-by-numbers, that the neural style algo doesn't cover. In addition, the matching and blending covered in the Li and Wand paper provides more accurate style details.
My own experience is that I've been running into less scenarios where I think omitting the type makes code more readable (coming from Scala). It doesn't help myself and my coworkers that it's easy (or 'lazy') to omit annotations.

I often wish I was using a text editor or IDE that understood my code and could insert type annotations for me, maybe automatically, and maybe not choose to do so if the line of code would "look" more redundant (i.e: parsing variable name or constructor/initializer).

Rust is one language that, while has the capability of doing full type inference, deliberately chose not to (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/functions.html):

> This is a deliberate design decision. While full-program inference is possible, languages which have it, like Haskell, often suggest that documenting your types explicitly is a best-practice. We agree that forcing functions to declare types while allowing for inference inside of function bodies is a wonderful sweet spot between full inference and no inference

"The whole idea of encapsulated data paths with labeled domains, etc. were all pioneered first in Solaris."

They actually came from the high assurance field that created the Orange and Red Books for endpoints and networking respectively. Earliest, fielded systems like that were in the mid-80's. Later, since nobody wanted real security, they dropped the assurance but kept & expanded features in so-called Compartmented Mode Workstations described here:

http://web.ornl.gov/~jar/doecmw.pdf

Trusted Solaris, which started as Sun MLS, conformed to low-to-mid grade of Orange Book:

http://www.cse.psu.edu/~trj1/cse544-s10/slides/cse544-lec12-...

Others included Trusted IRIX, SEVMS version of OpenVMS, Trusted Xenix around same time as Sun MLS, and so on. Many of those weak OS's with security retrofits. Today, there's Argus Pitbull, Trustifier, maybe others I don't know about.

Over time, due to security failures, DOD once again wanted high assurance desktops built on secure isolation. Turned to separation kernels (MILS) built to high assurance requirements. INTEGRITY-178B, LynxSecure, and VxWorks MILS built on that model with labeled, color-defined, virtualized desktops showing up starting around 2005. Nizza security architecture and TUDOS demo did stuff similar to high-assurance work for OSS in 2005-2006. QubesOS showed up later building on insecure Xen stack w/ VM-level separation and CMW-like features. GenodeOS built on Nizza/TUDOS work around 2007 while continuing to integrate high-assurance stuff like seL4 where possible.

So, no, Sun didn't invent these concepts or even design a high assurance system that I'm aware of. It was SCOMP, GEMSOS, XTS-300, and likely Trusted Xenix that proved most of the concepts out. Sun copied and improved on a watered down version of that. Separation kernels like INTEGRITY-178B and architectures like Nizza showed how it was supposed to be done. Then, Qubes later copied CMW's w/ a weak virtualization scheme and components but better usability (administration & hardware support) than separation kernels.

There's the lineage and history lesson for you.

Why wouldn't it be? Someone looks at a program that they bought and paid for, and sees that it has a mistake. They didn't write the software or put the mistake there. How can it be a crime for them to become aware of behavior in someone else's program?

Attacking others who use the software is an entirely different story of course.
Photoshop's UI is developed for a market of people who have particular skills in... Photoshop's UI. Their learning curve is vertical because they have a large user base of people who have invested significant time and effort learning that arcane UI. They're also dominant in the market - any new designer had better know their way around Photoshop's UI or they're unemployable (at least until recently).

A new product in that market, aimed at the same audience, say.. Sketch... needs a friendly UI because it doesn't have the same invested user base.

In other words, Photoshop's UI can be difficult because it's always been difficult and its always been the dominant player in the market, not because it's expert-oriented.

Microsoft is doing all sorts of things for security. They added ways to remove privileges from apps, rolled out SDL reducing vulnerabilities tremendously, implemented Windows Integrity Controls with IE at lowest level, added EMET, added whitelisting, pushed managed code, started designing sandboxing schemes like Xax architecture, added a hypervisor (Hyper-V), did mathematical verification on it, and so on. I can easily say Microsoft is putting more work into security in their various layers than Linux/BSD, even OpenBSD in some ways.

Thing is, there's been third party solutions to handle virtualization-based security for Windows for anyone willing to buy them. People mostly don't. So, Microsoft rightly doesn't give a shit. It's why I tell people to use third-party enhancements if they rely on Windows or switch to Linux/BSD due to greater options for security not to mention what CompSci is cranking out for them.

> I hoped that when an AI beat a pro at go, it would be with a more adaptive algorithm, one not specifically designed to play go.

The particular algorithm used by AlphaGo is of course specific to Go (the neural network inputs have a number of hand-crafted features), but the overall structure of the algorithm - MCTS, deep neural nets, reinforcement learning - is very general. So there's two ways to look at it. One is that what you wanted has actually transpired.

The other is that what you asked for is completely unreasonable. I think it highly unlikely that an algorithm not specialised to Go will ever be able to beat all specialist Go playing programs.

AlphaGo can't explain the outputs of its two NNs, but it can still explain its moves by showing which variations it thinks are likely.
I've never liked this language feature very much. I'm the one that's doing the inference when I read the code.
Because fighting it is like punching a hurricane. It's based on fundamental forces that won't change no matter how hard you fight. If standard of living is imbalanced, it will eventually find its level.

The word 'only' means not to exclusively judge it in that manner; it does not exclude risk analysis and mitigation. By your statement's logic, banish or redesign the kitchen knife, and put the genie back in the bottle, since it is a technology that can be used in very bad ways in a 'worst-case scenario', and it is hard to make it 'fail safely'.
Yes, it's an IR. It still has all of the issues a bytecode format has, and none of the size advantages.
A good follow on from this is the Learning OpenCV book (O'Reilly), written by a couple of the lead developers. It goes into detail on the mathematics, but it's not heavy or verbose at all. I found it far more useful than a lot of introductory image processing books simply for its theoretical content.

But we should also be willing to say, "Perhaps this company is capable of change and there are some genuinely interesting and laudable signals of that."

The trouble is, there is plenty of evidence that Microsoft's technology and business models have changed, but not always in laudable ways. If they were doing something genuinely new and better than how things were done before, I suspect the overall response on HN would generally be favourable -- this is pretty much a forum full of people interested in disruptive new technologies, after all.

Eww. One of the most beautiful parts of eclipse is the extensive level of plugins.

It's one thing to recognise abilities and capabilities. Or even to volunteer that somebody else as a greater human, particularly than yourself.

To self-nominate yourself as "more worthy" than others seems a road down a slippery and ugly path.

Then again, my worthy ancestors have fought on both sides of numerous bloody disagreements over this very concept.

More generally, and I mean this quite generally, I tend to find externally imposed tests far preferable to internally imposed ones. Human eugenics is internally imposed. The incestuous processes of party politics and academic mutual admiration societies strike me as similar. Likewise, to venture into more locally fraught, if less literally gut-spilling ground, defenses of Web or application layout and design which concern themselves with everything but what actual users actually need.

There's also the possibility that someday you'll find yourself less able, or perhaps just recognised and rewarded, than you are now. Will a deaf, or blinded, or crippled, or sick, or depressed, or senile you be less worthy than you are now? Be careful how you answer that, because the loads imposed should you find yourself there are all the more crushing.

Go out there. Do your fucking job, and do it well, for as long as you can.

But let others tell you you're a good person.

It's one of the better ways to be one.
Almost all of them in tier 2 and 3, specially if living outside the capital.

There is no shortage as such, what there is, are the conditions that many companies offer, where sometimes is better to not even have a job than working endless hours almost for free.

And if you want names for countries, in Portugal unless you are living in Porto or Lisbon there is a very thin possibility to land a developer job. And there aren't enough companies in those cities to employ everyone.

A large majority has been forced to go away to other countries.

Edit: And those that are above 40 have even a harder time finding something as a developer, because you are supposed to just be a manager.
