Everybody claims that GPG is unusable, but I just don't think that is the case. Thunderbird+Enigmail works perfectly hassle-free. You just enter your passphrase and everything else just works. The hard part about using GPG is convincing your peers that it's worth the minimal effort to set up. "I've got nothing to hide" is the common response.
Sure, but then you still need to wait until those features are widespread enough for companies to allow their use.

For example, last time I searched for it, most embedded and real time OS compilers were mostly C++11 compliant.
Don't know if you saw it, but there's a tour that walks you through the major features:

There is evidence that MRI can be used to detect biological differences and that there is some genetic component as well. The two major challenges though are that these diseases are not "binary" but multivariate and that it's very difficult to collect enough data to explore that space. So it's certainly hard, but not impossible!

Google does charge for email services, for anybody using gmail with their own domain, which is a lot of small companies and probably a few medium size one.
It looks to me that they made a huge investment into a game that wouldn't necessarily pay them back.

Profits on games aren't always that great, especially for indie titles.

It's not that they're losing sales, it's that they don't have many sales. And you need to pay 8 people somehow.
ZIP can contain arbitrary data before the archive data itself. That's an intended feature that's used e.g. for self-extracting archives. They look like this on disk:

+-----------+-------------+
| extractor | zip archive |
+-----------+-------------+

The extractor, when run, simply opens itself as a ZIP archive and decompresses itself.

So you could append the ZIP archive to an image file and then decompress the result without having to remove the image beforehand.

But you cannot concatenate several ZIP archives and expect a working bigger archive.

Well that's already possible now just by reading the CSSOM and patching new things into the DOM like how the article described the current state of affairs. If you just want to shunt another banner ad in there, that's not something that will hurt performance too much.
My two cents: get away from code awhile. Read a book on a mildy intriguing subject that seems completely orthogonal to your other work. Take up a new hobby for one week. Travel.

Looking for more "exciting" work is a recipe for monoculture, as you're likely to only find more of the same. "Interesting" and "exciting" are things you find in yourself and not in any particular problem.

Instead, expand your horizons and find something that motivates you to use and expand your existing skillset, or at least see known concepts in a new way. Replace "exciting" with "strange" or "curious" to help reorient your search.

I wish you success in escaping this momentary fit of ennui, and good luck in your next endeavor!
The article's actual headline (though not the link title) uses 'Minecraft' in quotation marks. It's saying that the pixelated pattern resembles a series of Minecraft blocks -- not that there is any literal connection to Minecraft.
The comment I replied to was about Cloudflare. But what really concerns me are the website owners who betray their users by allowing their HTTPS traffic to be MITMd, no matter if they use Cloudflare or something else. Also it is not acceptable to let one entity (be it Cloudflare or anyone else) control a significant portion of the worlds web traffic.

Ben Silverman, Will.i.am Producing Unscripted Series for Apple
I have a friend whose 14-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with ODD. She frequently cuts herself with anything she can get her hands on and when she doesn't get her way she will literally spin around and around shouting and growling angrily for a quarter to a half hour like she's possessed, sometimes physically lashing out at her parents. It's terrifying to watch and is definitely not your garden variety skepticism of authority.
Although I don't know what exactly symbolic integration is, I'm guessing it is a direct mathematical solution. The problem is that even with simple scene geometry, the geometry of the search space in the domain of the integral becomes non trivial probably after the first bounce of light, but definitely after the second. A path of light can bounce of a sphere and be occluded by another sphere. Then there are BRDF that could be modified by textures, emission textures, diffuse and specular modulation textures, etc. Old school radiosity was an attempt at a more contained solution, you might be able to look at that for something similar.
Happened to me too. I lived on the east coast and my team, where I was the only remote employee, was in the west coast. They would schedule stand-ups in their afternoons not realizing it was 7:30 my time. I didn't stay at that job very long.
Monte Carlo integration is what's used by most (all?) offline production renderers. The standard book on the subject is "Physically Based Rendering" [http://pbrt.org/] if you want to learn more.
>The show will explore the Apple app ecosystem.

So who wants to sign up for manufactured drama? Sounds like a perfect recipe. Although I'm really tempted to rip-off a joke from somebody else in honor of Will.i.am's seemingly unending habit of lifting stuff from other people, I'm going to take the high road this time.
Not sure if this means he found a "flaw" in the innovator's dilemma theory. Because perhaps the incumbents have caught on to this and now they don't have have such big "dilemmas" anymore about investing in new emerging technologies. If they are allowing too little time to small players to grow, then yeah, I could see how that could stop the smaller players in their tracks.

The whole point about innovator's dilemma is that the big companies kept having that dilemma for many years, maybe even more than a decade.
Agreed, source of algorithms would be cool to include for these...but still, i think its pretty cool concept to have such a website.

Anyone know of other, similar websites but for python? Or even if not for python, just another website like this.
I'll just list a few things as selling points:
1) Very low crime.
2) Generally less restrictive laws.
3) Pristine nature is always nearby.
4) Not much traffic.
5) Cops tend to mind their own business here. I'm not bothered by the police nearly as much as I was in Cali.

That's a few things off the the top of my head. Now some downsides:
1) Culture (art, music, etc) are generally less available.
2) There aren't as many conveniences.
3) You pretty much have to drive everywhere in rural areas.
4) Towns aren't very well planned, I rarely see any bike lanes or pedestrian oriented areas.
Would you express the same cultural relativistic sentiments about the validity of purpose if a small group decided to repurpose your Wiki?

It's very damaging to trade with the developing world if we start accusing companies of "attempting to colonize" because they have the temerity to expect people granted subsidised access to their website to actually play by the same rules as everyone else. I mean, if we start assuming that Angolans can't or shouldn't abide by the same rules as everyone else, it's very easy to just ensure services aren't affordable to the average Angolan again.

Angolans might have more reason to avoid paying for content than the rest of the world and they might have more reason to use Wikipedia or Facebook as a vector for delivering pirated content than the rest of the world, but the people pirating the content in this manner are at least as aware and deliberate in their circumvention of rules as crackers in other countries, and they should be respected for their clever hacks and blocked from uploading just like crackers elsewhere, and not patronised as people who couldn't possibly be expected to understand or accept Western mores.

I tried remote developers and couldn't get it to work efficiently. Remote devs start to have mental health issues from the loneliness and lack of supervision in down times. Regular employees can start to feel jealousy towards them, and organizing teams and talks becomes hell with a random face showing up.

My advice - have a core team in house and out-source what you would have given to a remote dev. You're going to be parcelling out jobs to the remote dev(s) anyway, but with freelance they're not your problem if they get lazy and you can next them easily. Also, a single cost for the job and no employee paperwork to deal with.

Plus, if a freelancer proves themselves an excellent part of the team you just throw them more and more projects of increased scope.

It's win-win.
I guess the person who is always interrupting others in favor of their own issues would find it tiring. But the person who is constantly being interrupted would find it refreshing that they can prioritize themselves.
It's not (only?) a question of "gaining value". End-to-end encryption is fundamentally incompatible with many features that Gmail users rely on. I would recommend reading https://moderncrypto.org/mail-archive/messaging/2014/000780.... from an ex Gmail anti-abuse tech lead. And for 99.99% of Gmail users, protecting automatically against untargeted phishing and malware attacks is a larger security improvement than having e2e encryption.

So... I'm not a C++ person. I think what I'm going to say next will sound like someone who speaks English as a second language.

I don't like templates at all, I think it's just an even greater hack than how the preprocessor might be used in C. The only place I have liked macros [essentially] is in Lisp.

Something that bothers me about C++ is when a program might instantiate a template like this: std::vector<int>

I'm sure vectors of ints is quite common. I wish C++ could share that generated object code (not the instantiated template at compile-time). I've heard of `extern template` but I don't think it gets used. Even then I wish you didn't have to tell the compiler to look for external versions of the template instance. I wish the compiler could aggressively look for and link to instances that have the same binary representation - even if they have disparate type information. That kind of analysis would probably be easier if C++ had a defined ABI.

I am not a C++ person, so I am sure I'm wrong more than a few times in this post. I wish C++ had a standard class to represent classes, so then we could construct a very generic object heirarchy like Ruby. I don't just mean support for reflection. I also want partially-defined classes for monkeypatching, but people tend to disagree with that for ethical and performance reasons.

I've been happy to see a lot of languages enable expressiveness/freedom to do whatever the hell you want in the last 10 years - instead of people forcing their mentality of how you should code and think about problems.

I am happy concepts were not added. The preprocessor &and& templates should die.
But minecraft is most definitely based on voxels (3D), not the pixels used in the camo (2D).

OK, even though I just said I'd avoid getting into this, I think the Vietnam War really created a sort of golden age where reporters were more willing to challenge the narrative and institutional power than any time before or since. Vietnam (and to a lesser extent Korea) really disillusioned a lot of young journalists who did amazing work -- the Neil Sheehans and Seymour Hershes of the world, basically. It's telling how many scoops still come from reporters who cut their teeth in those years like, say, Hersh, or Bob Woodward.

I think before Vietnam journalists largely imagined themselves on the same side. I think after Vietnam, government propaganda got a lot more sophisticated. Besides that, the business model collapsed, making newspapers into supplicants and leading to cutback in resources devoted to investigative journalism. The latest trend of advertorial has newsrooms basically renting themselves out to businesses to write ad copy; how can you really cast yourself as an objective investigator after doing that?

Of course, journalists who imagine themselves as part of the circle of power are a problem but were around in the past too.
The problem with that approach is that it inevitably favors the input of people who are physically present even if they are not the ones with the best answer to the question. As a remote development lead in a company without a remote-first culture, I find this happens a lot. The end result is that I end up having to fix a lot of problems that were caused by technical discussions that did not include the people such as me who had the most product context and technical expertise to correctly answer the question.
Worked for me, but try the text-only version, that usually helps.
Hmm. I'm on mobile right now, maybe it is hidden?

Anyway, thanks!
Wow, this kind of writing appears even in scientific journals:

"Stampfer’s work found that people who ate peanuts and nuts regularly were less likely to die from any cause"

So nuts prevent death?
Well define 'forced' in your view please. If I hold a gun to your head and say your money or your life am I reeeallly forcing you to give me you money or are you giving me your money out your own choice? Absent Mindflayers 'forced' is always going to be on a continuum.

So if I roll in and say "Here have this access to this thing everyone in the world claims is an economic and social miracle. Free!" and then later once you start using it I roll back around and say "oh yeah, by the way you have to follow the laws of the United States, the laws of a country you are entirely unrepresented by, if you want to use this thing that you're already using. This thing which every one swears is an absolute game changer, this thing that people claim will jump you into the 21st century* , this thing that everyone around the world swears you need."

Okay it's not a gun to their head but it certainly feels more than a hair coercive.

*people being varying levels of racist/ignorant in believing that "the 21st century" is not a date on a calendar but instead a particular sort of culture.
You can't look at a single individual. Even as soon as you include two individuals with advantageous mutations, the chance of them having an off spring with both is extremely higher than for an asexual organism.

Scale this up to 1000 individuals, each with mutations that are advantageous or disadvantageous, which impacts their chance to have children, and run it across a few generations (with a small chance of children getting new mutations not in their parents), and the chance of a subset of the population getting many of the positive mutations is much much higher than if they were an asexual species.

The asexual species will end up with more member of the final population having the single most advantageous mutation, but with none having more than that.
A function you sometimes need is to convert date to business week of year (output is year, week number) where "week 1 is the week with the year's first Thursday in it (the formal ISO definition)".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Week_dates

Week numbers are useful for comparing equal length business quarters. Each quarter has 13 weeks except the last which can have 14 (but not much business last week of year).
A implying B doesn't mean that B implies A.

That is, anti-authoritarians being diagnosed as mentally ill does not mean that mentally ill people are automatically anti-authoritarians.

Data Science Tools: Biggest Winners and Losers
Why Learning to Code Won't Save Your Job
Yes, for the technologically literate echo chamber of HN and most of our immediate peers, GPG may seem trivial to install. But the real people that have something important that needs to be encrypted (journalists, entire countries full of suppressed people, business secrets, etc) will NOT think this is trivial and most people will simply take their chances.

That doesn't mean that GPG is bad or that it isn't a strong tool, it means that for mass adoption then we need to make the tools easier to use.

For several centuries "trade" with the third world has essentially meant theft and imperialism, so to answer your question, yes.
It might be more comparable to missionary work. Wikipedia is providing valuable resources, but that charitable work can be interwoven with foreign ideals.

But it seems like Wikipedia are conscious of that, so they've taken a hands-off approach to this.
Following orders isn't totally voluntary. You don't have time in a stressful instant to decide whether an order from your boss (colonel, coach) is correct.

People still argue about the milgram experiment and nuremberg trials but one conclusion you can draw -- it's 'abnormal' to reject orders on moral grounds.

You're defining authority as power and that ends up being circular; the two are synonyms. I think this issue is more complicated than you're making out. The opposite of slavery is freedom, but the opposite of leadership is anarchy and waste. I can't survive on my own so I work with groups of people.
This isn't that though. The geometry is static and the interaction between points is precomputed. The cone tracing into voxels approach ends up being much more reasonable since:

1. The color is quantified into evenly spaced segments (ie a 3 dimensional image)

2. Because it is a 3 dimensional image the GPU's filtering hardware can do efficient lookups over a volume using mip mapping techniques.

The approach was originally described in a siggraph paper and there have been a lot of variations (which is usually another sign that something works well). Someone could create an implementation on their own, it isn't much of a stretch. You just rasterize into a voxel image then do a few cone traces at every pixel you shade, guided by the BDRF (a good one to look at would be ggx).

> Management hiring at the big silicon valley involves wining and dining with millions on the table and it has seen some spectacular examples of hiring MBAs with absolutely no past CEO experience

Not quite. Hiring for high management positions is usually much more selective and fickle, and the risk for people in those positions to succeed is much MUCH higher than what most engineers need to deal with (hence the significantly larger compensation delta). I've never been to B-School, but if I had to posit a guess, they do do a better job of teaching people how to run existing companies in various scenarios than what most engineers learn over their career.

(Also, keep in mind that the biggest value of going to an expensive B-School is the high value networking opportunities. This means that the school you choose matters A LOT.

A lot of people get useless MBAs. :/ )
Ah, well. I've been playing a lot of it lately. Its the same with the steam controller except the touchpad is a really nice mouse.

The steam controller probably should still work well in scenerioes where a controller is intended. Admittedly, I don't think it's as good for third person games.
"lack of supervision"

If you need to "supervise" your employees, you have either hired the wrong people, or not given them agency to just do what needs to be done. In either case, remote isn't going to work, but it's not necessarily because they're remote.
This is the crux of it. This thread is overfilled with comments from people who don't like free to play games... It's like reading complaints about daytime soap operas from people who prefer Daredevil. Daredevil fans don't even know what good looks like to a soap opera fan.

If you prefer console games or Steam games, these games just aren't made for you. They don't try to appeal to your sensibilities. At all. They are made to appeal to someone else entirely. Sometimes there's overlap between the market segments. I myself am playing Clash Royale a crapton lately, which I'm sure Supercell would consider a happy accident, but they are focused on the general audience, not me.
1. Does the time saved by reusing the header.ejs dwarf the time spent searching for and evaluating blog platforms?

2. How hard would it be to build a deploy system that updates a Jekyll site when the header.ejs changes?

3. Maybe a CMS is a better choice.

Good luck.
Iridium Go satellite hotspot review: More like ‘Iridium No’
I noticed that TD had a white label solution for Beanstream on their site. Would it be better to go through TD and snag a merchant account in the process or to Beanstream directly?

Thanks for bringing up beanstream by the way. I saw them earlier but hadn't considered them as everyone mainly favoured Braintree or Stripe. Being able to process Interact Online is a boon.
Right, though my guess is that doing custom domains and end-to-end encryption as a service are not comparable services or markets.
