Half of Europe got contaminated with the fallout for thousands of years, from the north down to the Alps many countries were and still are effected. The same idiotic disaster happened again in Japan (and could have been easily prevented by attaching generators, but fearing loosing the face, it was a cultural problem), and contaminated huge parts of the ocean, Hawaii and the west coast. Only a few countries stopped using or never used this very problematic technology. Hopefully, we don't have to see a third such disaster. Neither Soviet Union (USSR) nor Russia, Ukraine or Japan paid other countries money for the damage their action or non-action they did.

I mean they are if nothing else a good place to shove sanity-checking/design-by-contract code with out bloating (see: making harder to reason about) the actual method.
That was interesting, thank you.
Well, more specifically, it turns out that Japan's robotics industry isn't well-suited to disaster recovery robots, and Japan was too proud to accept offers from foreign robotics companies that did have more suited robots ("we're a rich country, we shouldn't need help from anybody else").
No, as long as it's 3.10+ (minimum supported version for DCOS generally) it should be good to go.
I was excited about a password manager that finally manages like, domain names and then scrypts your master-password locally with standardized domain-names (ie: scrypt(masterpassword+gmail.com)) that then transforms the hash into a format that gmail.com accepts. (keeping track of which websites have weird requirements, like !$#% required, or special characters NOT allowed).

And then I realized that the "zero-knowledge" thing is just a buzzword and has nothing to do with the implementation. Ah well.
JavaEE is not horrible.

It is rock solid, has a nice and friendly community, tons of resources, several high-quality open source implementations and the Java language itself has 2 or 3 IDEs in the top 10 IDEs list (ok, the last one is my subjective opinion.)

It's sad that the majority of the discussion from this post is people misunderstanding the term "white privilege" and getting so defensive about it.

Changing topics: that was a great read. The links were also great reads and rereads. What do people think of Joel's six mistakes from the "great software takes ten years", sixteen years later? http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000017.html
Thanks man! It's possible, you just have to build an API endpoint to store the results across users. There's a section in the README on that - it shouldn't be too hard :-)
> A unum has three additional fields that make the number self-descriptive: The "ubit" that marks whether a number is exact or in between exact values, the size of the exponent in bits, and the size of the fraction in bits. So not only does the binary point float, the number of significant digits also floats. There is something called "significance arithmetic" that does a crude version of what the unum representation does, but unum math overcomes some serious drawbacks of both significance arithmetic and interval arithmetic.

These "unums" have been posted before, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11410349
The language it's written in, the testing framework, and the support library that lets it target more platforms? That doesn't seem too bloated to me.
With respect to your second point, I am in full agreement.

Not only do I routinely see right through the benign bullshit designed to keep most people fat and happy, I also often see past the second layer designed to let the people who see past the first layer think that they can actually "fix" anything.

Without the illusions, I'm just a terrified ant scurrying around in a world filled with uncaring stomping boots and sadistic kids with magnifying glasses.

Being intelligent and ethical is a great advantage in the secondary mythic version of life, but it seems in the real, un-glamoured world, the only quality that has value is the ability to excise essential bits of your own humanity and trade them away for power. Intelligence also helps there, obviously, but without principles, the smartest person becomes the worst monster of them all.
thanks mate, I just subscribed, also shared with friends. Hope it will work for you, great idea!
I define it as a media that is financially independent from the government and with little influence from them. I wasn't aware that the media reports as much as it does based on what Singaporeans told me in past. There could be a bias there.

I appreciate the links. Ill look into them. One thing you might clarify is how much reporting contradicts the very nature of the regime, government, and way the system works. Journalist that ask thd big questioms with alternatives provided with references showing they'd likely work. We get that in American media, including HN, all thd time. That's critical for reform.

Do you have examples of that in Singaporean media?
Hi there

My name is Bryan and I'm one of the co-founders of a local company Intraix. Our company has been selected to be one of the vendors and is involved in the HDB Smart Home Trials with a local Telco - M1. I am pretty sure I would be able to paint out perspectives from different spectrums of this conversation.

In term of data protection and ensuring security,

The agencies involved in the smart home trial did put in a lot of effort to ensure that all companies in the program complies to the [Personal Data Protection Act] (https://www.pdpc.gov.sg/legislation-and-guidelines/overview) with very stringent criteria to data handling passed down to all the vendors.

As a matter of fact, our system had to face penetration tests conducted by Ernst and Young, a big 4 Auditing Firm before we can even get past the initial gates of entrance. I’m not saying that these measures are perfect but I believe the agencies, especially the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) is really serious about data privacy.
I think it's a great description then for an emerging worldview that simultaneously believes in too big to fail for banks but not in people, champions social equality but supports laws that allow racial profiling by police and TSA, and believes the war in Iraq was a mistake but that we should support Isreal unilaterally

C) Scrutinize accounts who are using an IP that is swarming with accounts from other countries.

For years we've talked about "disadvantaged" people. Which is fine, but focusing on disadvantaged people allows whites like me to conveniently ignore the fact that we have advantages.

It's an uncomfortable term, and to be honest, confronting your privileges should be uncomfortable. Darn right it's not fun to look at your life situation and think: "Well, I truly worked my ass off and tried to treat everybody well. But, in addition to my merits and hard work, what other things did I benefit from?"
I have never understood why RSS, in addition to being a document format, doesn't include a specification for a really simple API that supports requesting the full archives for a feed. Every feed could be responsible for providing its own canonical archive. It would be a trivial addition to the implementation of blogging software, and would be immensely useful.
I don't agree that that's the case. To me, region-restrictions for US content (the most popular worldwide) present a massive opportunity for content creators not based in the US to make something that is in fact truly globally available. While it's true that US TV and movies have been globally popular since the time of their invention, the rise of YouTube, Vine, Instagram etc. show that global audiences can be developed without needing to be US centric.

Your comment "this awesome clip the world is laughing and talking about" refers to SNL, but there are examples of viral videos that didn't originate from a big-name US studio. "Charlie bit my finger" and "Gangnam Style" are two examples. I don't think it's too much of a stretch that English-language long-form content (30-60 minute series) can be developed without having a "Made in America" imprimatur on it. Danish crime shows are popular in Europe and the UK, while Korean dramas are extremely popular in East Asian markets. Indian cinema is also popular in the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Southeast Asia. A small slice of British shows like Made in Chelsea have carved out a niche in English-speaking markets like the US, Canada and Australia.

I hope production studios large and small across the world are seeing this as an opportunity to expand past their borders rather than simply continue "Business as usual" under the protectionism offered with these types of restrictive licensing rules.

3-5 years? Try 1-2. The reason is that there are a lot of opportunities, and it gets boring to work on the same thing for a long time. Also you can learn more different things and fill out your resume by changing jobs more often.

That said, I personally prefer to stay at a job for at least three years, given the opportunity.
I think you overestimate the extent to which Google acts as a top-down, unified company.

It took about 5 years to get a single unified Google login. It took another couple before every property supported multi-login. GWT and Angular.js are both Google projects, but the vast majority of Google production services use Closure instead, and the Chrome team is pushing Polymer. AppEngine is used extensively internally, but the largest public-facing service on AppEngine that I know of is Fiber, which is totally dwarfed by the largest external customer of AppEngine (SnapChat).

[At least, it was when I left in 2014; there was gonna be a big push into Cloud, so it's possible several other services have rewritten on top of GCP.]
Oh yes, I'm constantly clashing with unavailable/blocked Japanese content. Crunchyroll has quite a bit of non-anime content to offer, but it's still far from other country specific streaming sites.

The oddest thing for me are the constantly blocked Japanese music videos on Youtube. I'm not talking copyright infringing content, but music videos published on the official band/performer's channel and being viewable from within Japan only. Why is a music video blocked outside of Japan, when you can buy the song via the regional iTunes store? One would assume that a music video is meant to promote the music sales, so why are so many of them blocked outside of Japan then?

Daniel Kahneman's book "Thinking Fast and Slow" is a great overview of the field of cognitive bias. For a more academic treatment of his research, check out "Heuristics and Biases". The part of his work most relevant to project estimation can be found in the "planning fallacy" section. Aside from Kahneman, there are numerous papers on software estimation, many of which note these consistent biases (for example Jørgensen, https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/fd87/d248dd55f59d8d93742fb3...).
Can you describe what you're worried about?

The connection is set up over SSH, and mosh-client generates a random AES-OCB key and sends it to mosh-server. Packets are sent over UDP, protected using authenticated encryption, and discarded if they fail integrity protection (which is fine, since packets could just be dropped and perhaps corrupted anyway because of bad network connections). Replayed packets are invalid. At that point the client's IP address no longer matters, since it's the only entity with the key. The server accepts valid packets from anywhere, and also sends packets to the IP address that most recently sent it a valid packet.

This should as much protection as an SSH connection over TCP. One thing I'd worry about is whether the server or client can be DoS'd with invalid packets. Is there anything else that seems concerning?
Correct. However it's at this point of the story (both of their stories) that the roads drastically separate.
I signed up for the Beta, but I have not gotten access yet. I was hoping to see a walk through of an example on your review so I could gauge how easy it is compared to the old docker setup on osx.
"you were, are and will be a software developer, that is, a relatively expensive factory worker, whose tasks your managers would be happy to offshore no matter what they tell you."

this is exactly my experience. writing software really doesn't require any great creative mind or cleverness. i'm a pretty mediocre programmer. i got roped into programming as a kid by, first of all because i wanted to make video games, but then once i'd dipped my toe in i found learning new, exotic (seeming) ideas and making clever solutions to problems was a lot of fun in and of itself. but i can think of only one time i got paid to do anything that felt like that: working on a tetris game with bombliss, without the official tetris rules. the rules of tetris are surprisingly deep and refined, in case you didn't know, so that endeavor was utterly insane and disastrous, which was the general character of the company i was working for. but still, it was a lot of fun playing physicist from the tetris universe, trying to infer the rules through experimentation.

to write software, once you have the skill down, is really just about doing the work. it doesn't require any insight, unless you intend to write good software, but no one cares about good software. no cares about the software at all. they have things they want to do, and the software, the making of it, is, if anything an impediment. so is the person making it.
> "you're stuck with checking all N! solutions"

not quite -- once you have a solution that runs in time X, you no longer need to check any solution that has a sub-component that is known to take longer than time X. So, for example, if you find that going between locations A, C, J, F, P, E, and Q in that order takes longer than your current best whole-map solution, then you no longer have to check any solution of which ACJFPEQ is a subset. You can eliminate whole categories of solutions with a single check, instead of having to test each of them one-by-one.

> Agile is Dead.

Ok. I listen. What is it wrong with it ? Then there is an endless list of links. I don't even know where to start. Impossible to argue against that. But I still don't understand what the author meant.

So. If we just stick to the agile manifesto. Is there something wrong with it ?

The worst part is that there is no proposed alternative. I kind of get the idea that the author still thinks big upfront design is the way to go. If he believes agile is no better than Waterfall. I can't agree with that. I would hate to go back to that.
It seems that any discussion about artificial intelligence eventually devolves into arguments essentially about whether human brains are magical or deterministic.
Like jobs, real estate, and mostly anything else, there's always a competition for the best.
People keep on forgetting about scale. Places like Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, are able to prosper despite being autocratic or semi-autocratic because they're cities. Similarly, New York has had relatively authoritarian mayors (by U.S. standards) in the past and improved because of it. But it's a far cry to say that such a national (or even major provincial) ruler would have the same sort of results. And the price to pay would be tyranny.
> No matter what, dating will be unfair, challenging, and zero-sum.

The first two, yes, but I don't see how the third follows. Let's say A + B are dating, likewise C + D. Later, they split up and pair up as A + C and B + D. It turns out A and C are much more compatible with each other as, are B and D. The total happiness of the system has increased.

Sure, the number of participants is relatively fixed, but it's not a question of "any warm body or alone", it's more a question of which specific people are most compatible with each other.
Maybe, but I don't think so... Or, at least, it didn't happened to me.

The first time of dating is like a bet, the partner is "good enough", you definitely look around and see more beautiful woman, smarter people or funnier mates, but for one reason or another you stick with her.

After a while you know her better, she know you better and something more happens, you start to care for each other, you want to care for the other, you do things against your self interest for the other.

Then you develop some sort of intimate caring and empathy, her becomes like a part of you, you see all of her flaws but they don't matter, you can understand her just by looking, you can feel when something is wrong, you don't image to share the same experience you had with her with some one else. (And this is the phase where I am now)

However, I am still physically attracted by other women, I cannot image nothing but sex with some one different from my partner; not romantic walks, not dinner together, not talking about me and my hopes or fear; but sex, definitely yes.

Sorry for the long off topic post :)

This is a revision of my earlier idea, "Hacking Mental Health": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11555863

Based on these two comments, I realized that I'd get much farther helping Hackers protect & improve their own & their family's mental health, than trying to convince the "mental health establishment" that there's a much better way.
Wow, that's a very elegant connection! I'll have to do some more research on Secant varieties.

The question is whether selling vulns, or weaponizing them, or stockpiling weaponized vulns is acceptable professional ethics. Some people think that the government having stockpile of zero-days is a good thing. Some even think that vulnerable endpoints are a good compromise outcome so that encryption doesn't turn into intellectual contraband.

But it would be better, for everyone, for it be considered unethical and unprofessional to add to the stockpile and actively keep endpoint devices vulnerable. I think stockpiles of vulns should be disclosed, even through hacks or leaks, like the Hacking Team leaks. Hence the analogy to biologists auctioning off their discoveries secretly to be weaponized. It's analogous enough: The practice of stockpiling vulns for the purpose of spying leaves everyone with less privacy and security, at the mercy of the unaccountable and outright evil. It creates perverse incentives for deeply unethical behavior. It poisons the whole software and hardware industries globally. If vulnerability stockpiles were unilaterally disclosed, it would be a large net benefit to the common technology user.

Also, rewarding researchers for disclosure is fine. There are open, transparent, and ethical ways to do that, like published bug bounties followed by timely public disclosure.

You might have good intentions and high ethics, but industry norms have to be designed for people like Hacking Team.
> and I've learned that no languages are better or worse than others

I don't think this is True though. Languages are different, and there is no 'best' if you stick to very broad standards of 'best'; But certain languages certainly have better net utility then others, relative to the market.
