John was smart, likable, and funny. Even my most vocal right wing buddy watched him because he was informative and entertaining. Stewart was quick on his feet and could out think anyone Fox news could pit against him. Colbert was Stewart on steroids in a verbal battle of wits and watching him repeatedly dismantle Bill O'Riley and President Bush made my jaw drop. No one has to adhere to an arbitrary ratio of anything but if you fail to at very least keep a broad audience entertained and just resort to political pandering you aren't playing in the same league as Stewart and Colbert.
The problem is that this debt is for very small amounts, often a few hundred dollars/thousand dollars traded for pennies on the dollar. This is a risk the seller/buyer is willing to take since the cost is so low and it isn't even worth taking the time to review the contract in depth for such a small payout.
It's not exactly happening in a vacuum. Emails and usernames from previous dumps help people figure out passwords for new accounts when many people are reusing the same silly password everywhere.

For example someone else may have had dadada as a password and isuckat@passwords.com as their email, and their password was discovered via a separate breach on some other site. That other site used shit technology for securing people's passwords. isuckat@passwords.com was in the linkedin dump.

People can probably guess that any hash for isuckat@passwords.com will probably be 'dadada'. Now based on this information figuring out the hash for other users also using 'dadada' as their password is simpler. Multiply by many thousands of people reusing the same stupid password on all their sites.

In other words use a unique password and use a different unique password for each site and service you use. Use a password manager.

I've used typed languages, and pure ones, but what I've found to be really special about Elm is that the compiler is super helpful. This also makes learning the language really enjoyable, as you've got someone helping you along. :)

I like a lot of his jokes, but I think there are too many of them, and too many are just "hey, here's a meme I remembered!"

But without them, I think his show would fall flat with most of his audience, so I don't think he really has a choice about them at this point.
Haven't used Elm myself, but I assume this argument is based in large part on the strength of the Elm compiler error messages. For example:

> It's very annoying when I read code that doesn't use the 80-character limit, because my terminal is not guaranteed to be as wide as theirs, and I really don't like resizing my terminal window to fit their line length.

Considering the numbers of programmers in the world, and how long they've been working with text, and how much annoyance text breaks / line wrapping / format flowing causes it's kind of surprising that there isn't better ways of wrapping lines without line breaks.

What's current best practice? Or is it just down to the project style guide?
Why did the article state that this is a problem even if one is using 2FA? Even if you reuse passwords, 2FA would stop most attacks it seems or slow them down incredibly, where you would be alerted to the multiple attempts to guess the 2FA code before it was actually cracked.
There's something neat going on here.

Projects like this take growing that happens in the rural areas to the city. We've always had a strife between country and city life, and country life is where food is grown. With this change, we're seeing food done in the city as well.

Of course this could be seen as potentially bad for farmers, as they lose a bit more control...

But there's some awesome upsides:

Potentially completely robotic. I was looking into with a friend about an automated greenhouse. It fell through due to medical disasters, but we had the nuts and bolts figured out. The gist is hydroponics with tilapia serving as protein and fertilizer for the plants. It would take around 10 mins/day for up to 100sq. ft. (it's considered that 25 sq ft is enough to feed a human indefinitely.)

Provides food for a city. Now, instead of having to rely on 'elsewhere', we can point to the building where our food comes from. The gist here is that there's now food security.

Lower transportation costs. Now, instead of food coming from 'elsewhere', it comes from the building over there. Distribution costs are cheaper, storage is onsite and local.

Is not subject to the growing season. With this system in place, the growing season is now 24/7/365.

Is also not subject to a host of pests or other environmental damaging effects. Everything is controlled: light, rain, drainage, nutrients. So yields will be much higher than on land.

Organic can be much easier. Since there's few/no pests, neonitonoids and similar aren't needed, nor are other nasty insecticides and herbicides.

Yes, it does cost more, due to using electricity. However solar is getting cheaper. These buildings could also be used in conjunction with spillover from power plants: There's no reason why the day/night cycle can't be switched, so that the grow building is using power at night, when power is usually not consumed (and is cheaper).

It used to seem natural to me, but as screens have gotten wider, it now seems like I usually have my terminals set wider when I have two set side-by-side. Even on my relatively small laptop screen.

I actually was just contemplating ditching the 80-char limit the other day, at least for personal projects.
Without having used Elm that much myself: One of its features is its very user friendly error messages. I imagine the author is comparing with more dynamically typed languages, where when you leave your work in the middle of something, there's usually a bit of digging when reopening it and continuing work, which he contrasts with Elm, where the compiler is quite excellent at reporting your unfinished work (in the form of helpful type errors), allowing you to quickly grasp at what point in your program you were at.
Couldn't agree more, no TLS Key for OpenVPN, and still no IKEv2.
To collect as much sunlight as the regular farm, you'll have to spread mirrors over the same area. So why not save all that money and plant the crops directly on the ground? If you want them indoors, to save water and chemicals, use greenhouses; you can use cheap plastic sheeting instead of expensive mirrors.
This has always been my experience with TDD, at least if you always leave yourself a failing test when you go. A lot more labor-intensive, since you are essentially writing the "compiler" as you go, but a similar effect.
What does this mean? There is almost no detail in this other than "Wow Elm is great and the compiler gives persistent, detailed messages"

which I think most people interested in Elm already knew.

What exactly is sensationalized about antibiotic headlines? My understanding is that they are indeed massively under-funded in research and development while also being massively abused by the livestock industry (particularly overseas, where drugs-of-last-resort are being used on livestock) and general practitioners (although a tiny factor in comparison). I will grant you that the US is trying to take steps to crack down on livestock use, at least.

I don't actually know any IT people who think the brain works like a computer, or that it's "binary based". I know people who think that neural nets attempt to approximate the neural activity of the brain, and also that it's a pale imitation at best, with many modes of action not properly modeled. I know people who think that free will is a myth and that everything we think is just chemical and electrical reactions in the brain, which is likely correct.

Not the author but I've had similar experiences. I haven't used Haskell or OCaml in my day job (though I would like to if given the opportunity). I have written some trivial and slightly serious programs in both of these languages. I've even worked up a few small programs in Agda.

Elm, IMHO, is in a class of its own. There's a strong focus in the design of the language to be usable and friendly to the developer. The focus on structural typing, the error messages, and the tooling all go a long way to bring the developer from beginner to expert with as little friction as possible.

In contrast I find this is the biggest hurdle for Haskell and OCaml. It's simple enough in either language to get started but there's a steep learning curve to becoming productive and the tooling, documentation, and even the design of the prelude libraries are the largest stumbling blocks for transitioning from an intermediate developer to an advanced one.

How can you interpret things like "the Trump University fraud case" as anything but a problem for a Trump administration?

Even the parts where Olliver makes fun of Trump, for example the epic sagas about his hands or how he impersonated his own press secretary, are very clear signs whom I don't want to see in possession of nuclear launch codes. Or drones for that matter.

> This ads in the OS is a bullshit I keep hearing. Why is this not a problem with Android or iOS?

Because neither iOS nor Android contain ads in the core OS. This is a different issue than ad-enabled third party apps.

> I have not met much ads, apart from the install office stuff.

And the Tomb Raider lock screen, and all that crap in the start menu, and…

> If you have developed an app and used a telemetry framework, you should know that it is not spying

The EULA states that they're selling your telemetry data to third parties. Sometimes opt-out, sometimes hardcoded (try to make the start menu search not connect to the internet). That's a tad different from just using opt-in (or even fully opt-out) telemetry for internal debugging purposes (which Microsoft has been doing since at least XP times, and which I don't mind).

> Is it not bad for the other major OS-es?

It is, which is why I don't use them, or don't use their app store.

> It is good if it is called apt-get?

A decentralized package manager and a centralized, heavily censored, tithed app store are two completely different concepts.

> The App store provides sandboxing and isolation, security to the users, where a single install of a software cannot break others

All features that are not inherently tied to the concept of an app store.

"Might be massive"

Thanks for the hyperbole. I guess you used the word "might" so you can't be wrong when nothing changes? As I explained, there won't be any consequences.
I guess the only new addition is that a side-effect of the very helpful errors is that it's easy to eventually come back to your work later on.

There's also a lot less state to keep in your head, as it's usually a lot more transparent.
Somehow, comedians falling on the "political right" side of the argument are rarely funny or insightful...
> What if the salt was derived from a key the user had to supply and wasn't stored anywhere?

If I understood you that is the same as demanding the user to input two strings for password authentication, one for salt and one for password, in which case you might just as well require the user to use a longer password.
Search "affiliate management" or "affiliate recruitment" on Google to find companies already doing this. I've gotten spam from a variety of companies offering exactly this service for at least the past 10 years.

Ouch. That's worse than I thought. Well, one more item in the "risks" column; not that it matters anymore (being 1001th such item, where the tipping point was at 200 ;)).
It may surprise you to know Uncle Bob has written C++ design books as well. ;-)

There are lots of books on C++ design that focus particularly on the semantics of contracts that are comparatively unique to C++ (Sutter, Meyers, Alexandrescu, and Abrams all have a pretty established following). Indeed, I'd argue C++ is one of the few languages where you really need to read a lot of the supporting literature before you are much of a useful coder.
For code it also seems most of the text reside on the left. Opening an extra wide window to display text for the occasional long line seems a waste of screen space.

Future is sort of hard to predict, at least for me. But you seem significantly more capable thereof; come on, enlighten me!

(The "might" expands to this: a retraction of the, ahem, telemetry, and the continuous update policy - at least for the enterprise segment - is one way the MS could avoid this trap it's built for itself; given their behavior to date, I doubt it will)
That's true. On the other hand, Apple are competent enough to implement it properly.
I can understand the existential risk this poses to the media and danger to society, I get it. But maybe the those in the media need to show some introspection.

We give the police the benefit of the doubt and depend on the rule of law but no one should be surprised if someone challenges them if they act like a bully.
Why You Should Hire a Gamer for Remote Work
The title is unfortunate. At first I though...wait why are they discontinuing Elm, what did I miss.

I've never written anything in Elm but that short post makes me want to try it. Sounds like a pretty great feature of a language to have easy to follow error messages you can readily pick up. This also made me chuckle

"""I thought Elm was a pure, functional language, but this is one hell of a side effect."""
Not sure what your last sentence means. I get the gist but neurostatic precepts is new to me.

Just because data supports global warming doesn't mean everyone agrees how to solve it or likes being berated and shamed because don't drive an electric car or ride a bike to work. Not everyone agrees we should shut off the US economy to slow down global warming. This is where partisan politics gets messy and people start merging their facts and their opinions.
Economic expansions don't die of old age. The current one is long for the US, but not for many other countries.

That being said, it is a problem that the Fed can't cut interest rates any more, and Congress is vehemently opposed to any fiscal stimulus. I believe our only hope is "helicopter money," ie a UBI executed by the Fed. If the Fed gave out $2000 to everyone (or maybe just the bottom 20% of the income bracket), that could work. It would significantly help the most vulnerable and wouldn't just drive up prices on financial assets. I really think the Fed should start setting up the infrastructure for this now.

But because these cases aren't reviewed, debt is often created out of nothing. For example if the debt has expired or was even paid, the debt changes hands, and they file a law suit somewhere, there is the real chance the debt is brought back to life in full. And if it doesn't work that time, the debt is just sold off to the next collector to try it again.

Adding on one thought, many insiders of publicly traded companies will sell shares through pre-established 10b5-1 plans. This can help to provide liquidity to insiders while limiting the potential for accusations of insider trading as insiders can set up defined trading plans for their stock that act independently of their knowledge or day-to-day intentions.

Azure might be great in a year or so, but it makes me uneasy as is. Some of the services are great, but a lot of them are pretty fragmented. I've had so many instances where our billing/usage data has just "disappeared" for a few days, undocumented changes have been made to the formats of reports/exports/APIs, and official documentation is plain wrong that I just can't recommend Azure to anyone. Not to mention they have the most expensive infrastructure costs out of the major players (even with an EA and decent monetary commitment); their premium for Windows licensing is the lowest by far though (not surprising), so it does end up being a cheaper option for super windows heavy shops though.

I think Scott Adams has an overly important view of himself if he seriously things anyone is going to go out of his or her way to track him down and cause him some sort of injury. His sarcastic endorsement of Hillary wouldn't deter someone wanting to do that anyway. If he's only writing that to make a point, he's throwing tantrum levels of passive aggressiveness. I say this as someone who has generally liked Scott Adams, but haven't really read anything he's written in the past year.
Microsoft is currently transitioning whole desktop division to the Iphone model. They tried to succeed in mobile for 20 years now (CE release) and failed regularly every single time, often times _destroying_ their strategic mobile partners (palm, nortel, very famously sendo, finally nokia). Ballmers last 'brilliant' plan was to kill their own Desktop business in an effort to gain mobile foothold with unified Windows Phone platform. Obviously that didnt work either, backup plan is ... there is no backup plan, they will simply transform desktops into disposable walled garden centrally managed phone systems full of junk apps pushed from the mothership and a steady revenue generated by all the spywar^^^buildin analytics.

Microsoft dreams about that 30% cut of every app sold, and they will murder desktop to get it.
