Oh man, the room full of CRTs brings back so many memories of nights spent playing chicken with a heart attack from the cocktail of energy drinks we consumed in the glow and buzz of CRTs on every surface in the room that could actually support them.

Do you happen to have any more resources about the demoscene community? It's something I've wanted to get into ever since I had my mind blown by a no-cd crack that somehow added a 9 minute high res intro video to a 25k launcher exe.

Looking for remote work
I am looking for a remote programming job
and I am wondering has anybody had success with say http://webwork.io

I see a lot of remote developer jobs listed.
To be honest?

Not much. Maybe not anything at all really.

That's because as much as I'd like a decent news service with well written, interesting pieces about current events (and no tracking, annoying ads, overt political biases, etc), I know that the internet has enough free content that I could find some of those of things on other sites and social media services (and can mix and match them for a decent overview). And it'll stay that way unless the amount of content online drops by something like 90%.
Interesting prediction, glad that the author puts it upfront. Based on conversation with people in the loop, and latest trends, it is certainly plausible!
King Wash Laundromat: Realistic Scene Building in UE4
It certainly has a wow factor, but once you pass the initial impression, it's interesting that the brain starts recognizing the content (motion of characters and objects) separately from the visual style, and even starts applying negative cubism filter so that we won't actually see the visual style anymore. (In other words, the brain treats those applied style as noise.)

It could be a way to exploit the mismatch of content and style as certain form of expression; but it may be more interesting if we can modify the temporal structure as well.
Working from home doesn't have to be that way. Sorry for jumping on your comment, but I hear this sort of thing so often!

Long term work from home (as opposed to waiting in for a plumber) only really works if you have a space to do it, and buy in from people you live with. If you can, have a specific room which you go to for work, and make sure your partner knows that when you're in that room you aren't available for little favours - although one of the nice things about home working is that you can surface now and again and do those things.

If you can't make those two things happen, commute to the office, or find a co-working space.
Not really. The video players on Linux have tons of options that I could set, but I hardly ever do.
TrackMeNot is a lightweight browser extension that helps protect web searchers from surveillance and data-profiling by search engines. It does so not by means of concealment or encryption (i.e. covering one's tracks), but instead, paradoxically, by the opposite strategy: noise and obfuscation. With TrackMeNot, actual web searches, lost in a cloud of false leads, are essentially hidden in plain view. User-installed TrackMeNot works with Firefox and Chrome browsers and popular search engines (AOL, Yahoo!, Google, and Bing) and requires no 3rd-party servers or services.
Do people actually use Google Search while being logged-in in Google?
No they don't. They just don't show it to you. They hide your search list, but it's still included in your Google profile.

NY Times says..

"The nation’s top auto safety regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said on Thursday that at least some Tesla customers who experienced suspension failures with Model S luxury cars were asked to sign confidentiality agreements about the issue."

They can have that. I have thousands of friends, and essentially zero information on Facebook, good luck even filtering out my real friends from the Farmville and Mafia Wars (never seriously played, those games are in there exactly because they obfuscate real acquintances).

I've also got real social media accounts that I actually use and that are under a fake name and I regularly verify that obvious google searches don't find them.

You can use google alerts to automate this.
Well, this is the same discussion as cloud vs on-premises. Sure that you can run your own VPS, install Wordpress, MySQL and all the other jazz, make sure backups are done correctly, maybe even have a load balancer and two servers behind it. You need to keep everything up to date, take care of installing all those weird plugins that might break your site...

Then you'll have to convert your audio files into different formats, bake images and chapter marks into them, make sure your RSS feed doesn't grow too big... Did I mention serving audio files to hundreds or thousands of clients at the same time?

You can do all that, sure. But it's not something everyone WANTS to do. I am a software engineer and have a blog myself, and I pay a company to host it and maintain it for me, because I don't want to waste my time on keeping it running, although it's the kind of thing I do for a living. I just want to spend my reduced amount time on providing real value. And that's the whole value proposition of SaaS.

I'm quite sure Windows uses ETW on various places: searching for etl files, I find 136 on my C: disk, and all are generated by the system, and not due to my debugging actions. E.g.

If we would track everything that their different telemetries uploads, I'm quite sure .etl files would be somewhere inside. Or that their number rises with the installation of the KB updates that mention telemetry (e.g. everything related to "prepare your system for Windows 10," for example). Or that they really planned to use .etl files too fro these purposes but just haven't yet. But the .etl are widely used, they are simply system-level provided effective logs.

Everybody can check for himself too.
It's when you have to splice a cat4 and a cat5 together with scotch tape because your longest cable wont reach from the hub on the table to the couch where you had to set up because you got there late.

I'm still actively using a LAN party spliced cat5e from over a decade ago, though I've properly soldered and heat-shrinked it since.
It seems that Google does public key pinning, but possibly only through preloaded lists in browsers such as Chrome and Firefox. This blog post mentions them catching a bogus google.com cert from a trusted root

6 white lies presenters often tell themselves

One fairly recent episode involves pretty much throwing away all of the hard technology that the engineers want to work on in order to make an appliance that's easier for the sales team to sell. They came up with the idea after one of the engineers says something sarcastically like "yeah we could just ignore all the tech and make a dumb box."

>configuration bloat is especially relevant to complex enterprise products, for obvious reasons

I've always assumes that enterprise software has complex configuration options because it's more bespoke than the supplier would have you believe. So rather than delivering a piece of software tailored to the need of one, or a few customers, the new behaviour just becomes a setting in a much, much larger system. The goal being having just one code base.
I'd like to see different styles personally. This generation of deep style will keep too much of the shape to be a picasso style.

Probably even worse / more dangerous.
Uber can kill whole delivery company segment. Clients would go where delivery is the fastest/cheapest. More volume, gives more efficiency.
Vehicle fires are mostly from overheating or electrical fires.
The gas tank being resistant to puncture, heat, and other things is something that is actually tested, electric vehicles on the other hand are much newer and these standards aren't there yet.

Batteries can explode when internally shorted, I had quite a few of 18650's explode on me over the years (usually through a fault of my own) the explosion isn't like a party popper it can be quite big and violent, and while explosions are some what not uncommon the battery flaming out completely when internally or externally shorted is.
The Tesla has a few 1000's of 18650's cells even if a small number of those short during an accident it can cause allot of damage.

Another important difference between batteries and gas is that emergency workers (and anyone who's involved in the accident) can identify when the gas is leaking out, it's also much easier to stop the gas from catching on fire as wetting the vehicle or using other fire retardants will usually prevent the gas from catching fire.
On the other hand you can have an internally shorted battery pack which can catch fire or explode at any moment and you would have no clue that it can happen.

Now don't take me wrong this isn't some anti-Tesla or anti-EV scare BS, this isn't some conspiracy either but saying that there are no valid concerns about the safety of the battery pack is ludicrous.
We know how petrol cars work, we've been using them for 100+ years, we know when to look for a gas leak, we know how to deal with an oil/engine fire, EV's are a whole new ball game, eventually there will be a case where a Tesla or any other EV gets into a car accident and there will be a hot terminal somewhere in that car due to a short and someone will going to get zapped, at some point one of those batteries will explode and cause casualties, and many other things will happen that will be unique to EV's.
It's called in-between. There is certainly an art form of its own, for a simple mechanical interpolation won't produce visually pleasing animation. Disney has some research on parameterizing in-betweening. These days 2D animation are replaced with 3D and the art of 2D in-betweening might be lost in future. It'll be interesting if DN can learn animation styles from existing footage (e.g. Kanada-style).
Hmm. http://cdn.dailykanban.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/TeslaG... (via https://yro.slashdot.org/story/16/06/09/2122208/tesla-suspen...)

On it's surface, that definitely looks like a full NDA: "don't speak of this" (IANAL)

However, I can see Tesla's interpretation/spin: "It just means: we aren't admitting liability, don't sue us for this, and don't say we paid for part of the repairs" -- which doesn't include "don't report a safety issue".
Still, it seems rather strongly worded for that...
They're called inbetweens or tweens. According to recent HN article, they are outsourced to South Korea. Generating them with algorithm would be interesting, but often incorrect and against artist wishes. For example, objects in motion sometimes needs to be blurred; some characters need to have ghost duplicates; shapes get distorted and exaggerated.

I think at this moment it is not possible to instruct algorithm to take additional suggestions (artist ideas) into consideration when creating output image.

Demo parties even predate LAN parties, so it's no surprise they're still around when LAN is no longer much of a draw.
Right, but those are problems solved by database technologies. Uber can follow pretty well-defined patterns at this point to scale up. Especially since they have a natural sharding point built into their product (each city).
As long as the people developing your site have been keeping up with things since the mobile web became a thing (several years), it should be expected that they can develop an app that functions well on just about any device that will run it.

This is common, required knowledge of developers. They should be testing the site on as many devices as possible, and developing it with cross-browser capabilities in mind and tooling that does it for them. You can check yourself to see if it works

There is no excuse for not being able to develop a consistent experience across as many devices as possible. And it sounds like the poor OP just got a lazy developer.

Interesting. A search in chrome://net-internals/#hsts for Google does indeed show the public key pinning. I guess they do own Chrome and could get their public key hashes baked into other browsers too.
So basically it's incentives, inventives and incentives on top of incentives.

An influencing factor I can think of is that a dirt road will kick up debris such as small rocks, which will in turn potentially chip any passivation layer (chrome treatment, paint, etc.) on a metal component. This could accelerate corrosion by allowing moisture ingress if subsequently driven through puddles.

Specifically, chipped paint is doubly bad as moisture can ingress and then flow underneath the paint, trapping it in there and not letting it dry out, so it continues to corrorde.
Well, bullying is a little more overt than what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the kind of person who is so good at persuasiveness that they convince you without you even realizing it. That's a totally different skillset from "argue until your opponent is exhausted and gives up". I had a coworker once that was pretty good at this. I'd go into a meeting with a strategy that I was positive would work, and I'd walk out of that meeting with his strategy -- and somehow I was convinced it was even better than my original one! (Sometimes it was, sometimes it wasn't, but I never resented him if it wasn't -- because he always somehow made it seem like it was the natural choice, not just his choice.)

Anyway, that's the kind of thing i'm talking about. It's easy to talk over people and beat them over the head til they do what you want. I'm more interested in getting everyone on my side and excited about it.
If landlords and letting agents and real-estate agents do this, should not tenants do it too? Could we have a service where a tenant gets a "creepiness report" on a potential landlord/agent?

Actually, probably better not. Escalating mutual destruction scenarios are not a useful long-term strategy.
Thanks a lot! That's exactly the kind of comment I love HN for.

> Dirt doesn't cause rust.

Dirt can contain salt, iron and other rust-promoting particles. And a caked layer of dirt can hold water against the metal part for extended periods of time.

> The two tow-trucks line is such a red-herring

That depends if the fault ultimately lied with the customer or Tesla. More broadly, it demonstrates the company's willingness to assist, to go beyond what most people would reasonably expect a company to do to help resolve a problem, even when it's possible the problem was caused by the customer.
Why openly announce that you're paying the ransom?

Here's some major disadvantages that I can think of:

1. Announces to world that you have poor security/backup practices which encourages more attacks against you

2. Announces to world that making and distributing ransomware is good business which encourages more attacks against everyone

I understand that public institutions needs financial transparency in order to be accountable to the public. But the nature of this isn't any different from, for example, a basement flooded due to poor design and required $20,000 to fix. Someone screwed up, and it cost the university $20,000. Let's just pay the money, fix the problem, and take steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. No need to call up the local paper about it and make it a story.
It could be a lot worse. A nasty malicious attack would do searches for making a bomb, joining ISIS, piloting a 747, bypassing airport security, etc. In these days and age, this is a guaranteed full body search and a registration on the no fly list next time you want to fly to see your family for christmas.
UX Strategies to Make Intelligent Mobile Apps
"We haven’t seen this on any other car, suggesting a very unusual use case. The car had over 70,000 miles on it and its owner lives down such a long dirt road that it required two tow trucks to retrieve the car. (One to get the car to the highway and one to get it from the highway to the service center.) When we got the car, it was caked in dirt."

Which is not nearly as bad as the systematic, repeated adverse conditions testing they did on these cars in development and continued to do into the present.

Right ? Right ?
That agreement is completely unreasonable.

"In accepting the Goodwill, you hereby release and discharge Tesla and related persons or entities from any and all claims or damages arising out of or in any way connected with any claims or incidents leading or related to our provision of the Goodwill." (etc, with similar language concerning talking about incidents.)

in other words: we'll fix your car for you, but only if you keep quiet about a broadly and unclearly defined set of events, oh, and only if you agree not to hold us accountable for any wrongdoing on our part that's in any way "related or leading to" this agreement.

That's absurd, and shameful, especially the excessively broad scope of the incidents and the fact that even actual wrongdoing by Tesla is protected.
If you want to get into the garage hardware scenes at least mention the bandwidth required to pull that sort of thing off.

> Is Uber useful ? no doubt they are, but so are any other illegal taxi service.

It is my understanding that Uber only has a problem with a single service of the many they provide: the rideshare one, where unlicensed and unregistered people get to provide the service for a fee.

This is not the only service provided by uber. Uber also offers transportation services provided by fully licensed and perfectly legal transport operators.
Crazy how Tesla as an entire company is scrutinized for car incidents that no one would even remotely care about if it was any other car manufacturer. If this guy had a range rover, or even some other electric car this would be a nonstory.
Cooperative concurrency and event-based programming are different concepts.

You need events for the coroutine since scheduler needs to base trampolining of something.

Alas, you can do event based programming without coroutines.

Your quote and your statement don't make sense together.

> but only if you keep quiet about a broadly and unclearly defined set of events

Where are you reading that?
70,000 miles is an incredible distance. I am impressed the car held together that long.

I see nothing wrong with the agreement. If I fix your car for free, I will make you agree to not thank me with a lawsuit. It's very simple, really. The customer gets a free repair, Tesla does not have to deal with lawsuit-wielding psychopaths.
AFAIK that is pretty standard "We'll fix it for you if you don't sue us" language.
> Does this means that you are ok with breaking the law if some ones offers you something convenient?

The goal of business regulation is to protect the clients. If a regulation does nothing to protect the clients and only hinders their rights, that regulation is absurd and should be rethought.

> Don't you care about workers rights?

Imposing artificial restrictions on a market is not workers rights. It's corporativism, typical of totalitarian states, which abuses the rights of all citizens of a nation only to guarantee absurd priviledges to a minority.
