I'd never heard of 'Story' - nor the notion of a store that 'changes themes' regularly. Cool concept - but far cooler still with the Mr. Robot theme currently on display.

Given the realism of the show, I was hoping for something a bit more elaborate with regards to 'hacking the ATM' - but then, who knows? Maybe there's more to finding the 4-digit code than just browsing the shop.

Run some packet captures to sniff insecure communications, or exploit a vulnerable PHP app, or other Pen Testing goodness. Something that would make Elliot proud. I'm guessing, with a $50 'prize', it can't be trivial.

Eager to see what Season 2 has in store for us: they definitely set a high bar in the first season.
I'm almost entirely ignorant on this topic but it sounds like you're suggesting this could be a thing, which is more than the other posters here are currently saying (although it's early days yet, with only a handful of comments).

The things you've just mentioned sound like properties of the sequences, whereas the site sounds like it's describing something which modifies the meaning of the sequences depending on how they're physically located. Ie if gtta is resting next to tacg or whatever it'll have a different meaning to if it was next to gata.
Your equations aren't telling the full story though. The salary for foreign talent isn't only lower because of potential cultural issues out education, but because ability for foreign workers to change employees is artificially limited. This artificial market inefficiency hurts both local and foreign workers and benefits corporations who exploit it.
> Not much of an issue, really, and it proves nothing about rusts overhead except that you can't rely on autovectorization.

Not much of an issue unless you actually need the performace ofcourse. Ime, simd intrinsics is everywhere in code optimized to run as quickly as possible on x86. That about half of The Benchmark Game's benchmarks uses sse proves that point.

> Go ahead and fix it then. You've been telling me much the same. I already mentioned that the other benchmark you linked me to wasn't optimized.

That requires investing a lot of time in understanding how Ruby's internals and especially its string objects works. I don't have that time. The LPathBench on the other hand is self-contained and updating it shouldn't be more than a few hours of work for a decent Rust programmer.
Your perspective is the one missing from this debate.

I don't have a problem with immigration -- my grandparents were all immigrants. I have a problem with this three-tier system of greencards, guest visas and systematic import of undocumented workers.

These leech companies are farming exploited quasi-immigrant labor while screwing up the labor market for everyone else.

You should be able to come to this country like my ancestors did -- pass a physical and get a green card. An Indian technology worker shouldn't be separated from his kids, a Chinese restaurant waiter shouldn't be an indentured slave, and Americans of all backgrounds shouldn't have their salaries kneecapped by thousands of workers with no rights.
We general try to assume that the user has applied no special JVM options. Planning with that as a baseline is much better than requiring people supply a big soup of options.
Instead of dealing with "white people"'s PC bullshit like this, how about they fix a hugely broken legal and prison system, that holds 25% of the worlds inmates in a country that only has 4% of the world's population (and where most of them are black)?

The sane position for this is that there's only male and female gender which refers to the kind of genitals and genes one had at the time of their birth (with statistically insignificant exceptions for actual "hybrid" cases etc.).

Everything else is not a "gender" but a "sexual preference"/orientation -- men who like women, men who like men, women who like men, women who like women, men who like to dress like women, people who like to have sex with goats, and whatever else there is, -- that is, not something that concerns the state at all, and that should not be asked for in a public form.
The market in this case is being kept artificially inefficient to benefit corporations to the direct detriment of foreign workers and indirect detriment of local workers.
That is one of the things we've been considering for a couple years and it's increasingly likely we will do so.
If you don't want to pay taxes, or parking tickets, go get yourself a whole bunch of nuclear weapons. With enough force behind you, you can ignore any law.
This is a good point to make! I don't know how accurate the article is about the emotion or reason behind this phrase being written.

I've always taken it as a social shorthand for communicating that the writing may not be interpreted 100% in the way it was intended so more thought may be required before responding. Also, I take it to mean that the writer is aware their writing is not perfect. Some may perceive that as embarrassment but it could also come from a place of humility, respect to the language, and to establish a baseline of understanding with the reader.

Just because someone is in the minority doesn't mean they feel embarrassed about it.
I could not disagree more stridently. If the goal is clear, concise communication, the ask-er should be reasonably fluent in the language they presume to get a response in. If I had to start asking questions in a primarily-Japanese tech forum, you can bet I would make sure my written Japanese was pretty darned good before I start bothering native speakers whom I'm hoping will help me for free. Yes, that process might take years, but that's what I'm signing up for if I choose a primarily-Japanese supported widget. If I'm imposing on someone, the expectation is that I am going to bend over backwards to not waste their time, and that means communicating clearly.

As it turned out, a lot stayed with me. I got the basics down so I know the general plight of a programmer. I understand how long things can take to fix. I know what it means to be working with someone else's code. I run a linux machine. I hit ctrl-u from time to time. I set up the occasional CRM with ease. I'm not scared of the command line. I can more or less slog my way through fixing my machine through google searches if need be.

So..you know...some.

I wouldn't say 'very easy' but 6 years after you get an H1B you are cap-exempt. So any new employer can apply for an H1B for you right away though it only gives you the years left in the original visa not another 6y.
This is why my own custom keyboard remapped Alt to another "shift level". So, for example, Alt+s and Alt+d remap to ( and ) respectively on my keyboard. I have all the other special characters on there too.

Strangely enough, pressing Alt feels easier to me than pressing shift, so I prefer typing special characters over capital letters.

Great! Now all that needs to be done is establish that anthropogenic CO2 represents a significant risk. That has not been proven.
Anyone tried any unconventional keys? I changed semicolon with 'type the last character' because I observed typing the same character consecutively significantly slowed down the speed. I mean there is no reason why a key should be bound to a single character.
People liking you and being able to work with people are not the same thing; possible I misunderstood you, but not clear to me.

I spent a month trying different layouts on the Twiddler 2, but ended up ditching it. I could only get up to ≈25% of my normal typing speed. And no matter what layout I experimented with, some keyboard shortcuts were a huge pain. There just weren't enough meta keys.

I do think there's something that could be made in this space, but it would be a niche product. Standard keyboards require no up-front training. A complete novice can use one just fine (although slowly). Chording keyboards require a significant time investment before you can type a single sentence. That up-front cost might be worthwhile, but it really hurts adoption.

In addition to that fundamental issue, most chording keyboards today have two big implementation problems:

1. They are USB instead of Bluetooth. That makes them much less convenient for mobile usage, where they have the greatest advantage over standard keyboards. Instead of grabbing the chorder and typing, you first have to plug it into your laptop, tablet, or phone (if that's even possible).

2. They lack a decent pointing mechanism. The Twiddler series uses a thumbstick. I would vastly prefer a trackball under my thumb. If done right, it would give the ideal combination of speed and precision.

Now that VR is poised to become popular, I think there's a larger chance that someone will make a high-quality chording keyboard. Still, I wouldn't put money on it. Learning to use one proficiently is almost as time-intensive as learning to play an instrument.
It is, yes, but there is also a difference between "I believe what I've been told and raised with" vs "I saw God, he spoke to me personally, and Angels are real."

Obviously there is grey in between.

Susceptibility and gullibility are NOT the same as delusions.

> I've never personally been bitten by any Clojure bugs

I actually have encountered one; the cl-format function is documented as "implements the common lisp format function", but does not comply with that function's spec. (Unless they've fixed it since I ran into the problem in 1.4, which is sounding unlikely.)
There is a distinction between "Clojure is free" (talking about the burden on the consumer) and "Hickey et al work on Clojure for free" (talking about the rewards they receive for their effort). The latter is less clearly the case.

> That could all be implemented, but it would require another hardware controller or some sort of api that has lower level hardware access than the OS does, and something to actually provide that access and communicate with the various components, at which point you just invented IME/BMCs.

What you've really invented is hardware drivers, which have been at home in the OS forever.

> IME just seems like a strange hill to die on when it's probably more secure than 90% of the remote management setups in use today.

The problem is they put it everywhere instead of only where people asked for it. You can get away with more on something which is opt in because the people who don't like it can get the one without it. So now it doesn't have to be as secure as the other remote management setups, it has to be as secure as not having remote management.
Maybe people associate bad grammar and limited vocabulary with lower intelligence, which may be somewhat justified for native speakers. I think announcing your poor English will make readers be mindful and see through your language barrier.

I don't think it's really about feeling embarrassed. I remember reading about a study that showed people with foreign accents are judged to have lower intelligence levels. I think, in general, bringing your language handicap to people's conscious mind will prevent them from making such subconscious judgements.
>>This is a common misconception. It is a very easy process to change jobs on an H1B.

No it isn't. Even though the process is informally called an "H-1B transfer", changing employers while on H1B actually requires filing a brand new H-1B petition with USCIS. The only difference is that this petition is not subject to the annual cap. Everything else - the crazy requirements and loops you and the sponsoring employer have to jump through - is the same.

What this means is that there is a big risk associated with the process. Since it's a new petition, it can be rejected. You are literally at the mercy of the USCIS officer processing your application, and they can deny it for any reason.

Of course, this also assumes that you're able to find an employer who is willing to sponsor your visa. Considering the legal expenses (thousands of dollars per worker), the hassle and the risk, most companies don't. And if your skills are in a niche field, good luck finding any that do.
I spent a year studying in university in Japan, taking engineering classes with regular students. The number of people sleeping in class was sometimes impressive - in the worst instance I remember it was about a third of the class (but thankfully, usually a lot less). The professor just ignored them and kept going.

The real shock for me was when I went back to Canada and realized I'd picked up the habit inadvertently! I would naturally fall asleep in some boring classes and had a lot of difficulty stopping that. Generally the prof would notice and call me out to everyone's amusement, or a neighbor would give me a nudge. It really did not feel acceptable to sleep in class as in Japan.
It's not a bad story, and writers are busy. It's tough to get a good scoop. Much easier if someone just hands it to you.
> Another comment, how are anti-disparagement clauses not a violation of first amendment rights?

First amendment applies to Congress (and after the 14th amendment, the state governments), not to any private citizen or organization. You're free to make private agreements that sign away any rights you have, except (after the 13th amendment) your freedom.

This is utter nonsense. There's no evidence that neighborhoods made up of renters are any more or less "cultural" than neighborhoods made up of, well, you haven't really articulated an alternative have you? Do you expect everyone to purchase a home, and not have renting at all?

Generally areas regarded as having a vibrant culture also correlate with high percentages of renters -- because they're in cities. Areas with high percentages of homeowners and low percentages of renters tend to be suburbs.

In any event we can answer your question of what happens when the boom is over because we've already lived through two tech booms in this area. The answer is: Prices fall and folks with investment properties will lose some money but not much else changes. Homeowners get hurt a lot more than renters when bubbles pop.

> It’s easier to drum your fingers by rolling inwards rather than rolling outwards.

Interesting. I’ve always found it _much_ easier to drum my fingers outwards - index to pinky - than inwards. Outwards I get a nice rhythm, inwards is awkward, conscious, and more often I end up just flapping all four fingers up and down, all tapping the desk at the same time.

Quick survey in the house, my son is like me, my wife and daughter find inwards easier. (The dog just thinks I’m an idiot and the cats wouldn’t even acknowledge me.)

I wonder how well EV's cope with arctic conditions. In areas near the ocean temperatures generally don't get too extreme (e.g. Anchorage), but inland they can easily get into ranges that must be challenging for batteries to cope with.
Perhaps you could renounce your citizenship and acquire a new one from a country that did not ratify that treaty, then renounce that citizenship as well. Of course you'd need to find a suitable country that was willing to play along.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it's like the author has never even heard of the phrase, "The grass is always greener..." and taken a moment to think of why that is. A glimpse of something, at a moment in time, doesn't give you a real sense of it's long-term efficacy or real costs.

It's just businesses abusing the system. We need more legislation in place to keep businesses from Harmon Americans and shooting themselves in the foot long term. American workers who support unfeddered capitalism always end up wondering why they are starving when they supported tax cuts for the wealthy and big business while leaving no money to pay for the fallout of their disasterous decisions.

>>You should be able to come to this country like my ancestors did -- pass a physical and get a green card... Americans of all backgrounds shouldn't have their salaries kneecapped by thousands of workers with no rights.

I personally think the logical fallacy is where the leap happens at the point of since future beings exist, and future computers would be thousands of orders of magnitude more powerful, thus it is highly likely we're a simulation. I remember listening to Elon make this argument, and to me he makes a leap that is illogical.

>What you've really invented is hardware drivers, which have been at home in the OS forever.

Those drivers need to actually communicate with something though, that something is exactly what BMCs are. If the hardware physically providing communication with those systems isn't there, no amount of drivers will help. Additionally, many of those things have to be configured before the OS is loaded and the hardware they control is fully initialized. Not possible inside the OS.

>The problem is they put it everywhere instead of only where people asked for it. You can get away with more on something which is opt in because the people who don't like it can get the one without it. So now it doesn't have to be as secure as the other remote management setups, it has to be as secure as not having remote management.

Yeah, I guess that's an aspect I didn't think of. I can see why people wouldn't be happy running remote management on their consumer hardware, I guess my view is biased by the fact that on systems I frequently work with, having a BMC is a given. My only experience with IME in consumer-level hardware was a neutered version of it where remote access wasn't an option, just some local hardware monitoring/management that seemed mostly useless, but I guess that must've changed.
