I can't laugh hard enough at this. I agree I (sorta) hate the Facebook filtering algorithm, but I find Twitter even more impenetrable. It's just impossible to figure out what's going on. Here's my timeline, just opened it up for this comment:

* Account I follow, 15s ago.

* PROMOTED post from 5 days ago.
(here I've already run out of browser real estate on a 27" display because the tweets take so much damn room. Scroll down a page)

* While you were away: post from 3 days ago

* While you were away: post from 4h ago

* While you were away: post from 1 day ago

* While you were away: post from 3 days ago

* While you were away: post from 6h ago

* While you were away: retweet from 2 days ago

* While you were away: post from 1 day ago

* Actual twitter post from user I follow, 2h ago.

* PROMOTED from 18 days ago

For all intents and purposes, the Twitter feed is less chronological, less useful, and less content-dense than Facebook, and that's saying something considering that Twitter is supposedly a 140char service.

I had to scroll through 3 pages of crap before I got to the actual chronological twitter you speak of.

Also, they have this horrible habit of making tweets with a white background, then a tiny grey divider between tweets so it can be hard to tell at a glance when you've moved from one section of content to another -- much like when GMail went from colored message threading to all-monochrome.
This is another super popular argument about computer security, and it falls apart almost instantly under scrutiny. By your logic, I can dump a SQL database full of credit card numbers due to an SQLI in a GET handler, because, after all, the software components are just doing what they're meant to do!
Latency is also a problem. A bigger L3 means more access latency. (This is generally true of any memory)
When I tried it way back when, he trouble I had with Gluster is that it didn't readily handle nodes randomly leaving and new ones joining. It was more hardware-centric in that if a node left, you were expected to bring that specific node back online. Is that still the case?
Resisting copyright is not deplorable ethics, quite the opposite in fact - copyright itself is deplorable ethics and anything done to kill it is just and honourable.

Indeed. It's like most languages punish exploration instead of rewarding it. Intellectual curiosity gets bullied that way.
You are coming close to claiming that vocal people are the ones that are vocal. How much of the electorate has not said anything to reveal their position (and how important are they when it comes to the election)?

I'm pretty sure the Einstein one is as well.

And really, I find that to be fairly stupid. If you consider it to be insane to do the same thing repeatedly expecting different results, then you'll never accomplish anything that requires long-term action. Try chopping down a tree or graduating from college with that attitude.
Understandable.
I believe that he gets to have it both ways: those of his supporters who are themselves isolationist or maybe even racist are excited to hear him say they same things they say. Those who are more moderate take this "he's just misunderstood and misquoted" tactic.

It's pretty amazing how it works.
If you would look at everything he said then you would know how he meant it. He mentioned LaRaza, he mentioned previous rulings from this judge and much more.
Instead you pick one quote out and call it a day.

> > He has said that a judge of Mexican descent couldn’t treat him fairly because of his heritage

> La Raza is a group that advocates for a path to citizenship for all illegal immigrants.

What does that have to do with his heritage. There are people that believe that without Mexican descent. I believe it, and I'm not Mexican, and am not an immigrant, and neither are my parents. There are people of Mexican descent that don't believe in a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants (I know one). Reducing people's behavior to something fueled by ethnicity is racism. It is not appropriate to, even with the link pointed out, to assume that Curiel's view regarding immigration does not have basis in beliefs that are distinct from his heritage. It is not appropriate to then further use this as evidence for why he's ruling some way in his job without much more than a single case (and this assertion has nothing to do with racism or heritage).

> Trump wants to ban Muslims from majority Muslim countries that are currently involved in prolonged wars which makes a comprehensive background investigation impossible to do.

Freedom of religion is a constitutionally protected right. I don't see how this right can be protected if you filter possible future citizens based on religion.
Just wanted to compliment you on the documentation in those scripts. I'm that documentation stickler guy at work, so seeing it in the wild (especially for personal files) makes my day.
>Now you can certainly say that even the latter argument is racist or xenophobic or morally wrong, but why fabricate something that he never said or implied?

Why are you splitting hairs over semantics when the bottom line is that Trump is racist? Seriously... if the misquote leads to the same conclusion as the actual quote then why does it matter?
Encouraging violence? Appealing to emotion I'll grant – though not typically as exclusively as Trump has – but appealing to prejudice? Not seeing it.
Just use libvirt (virsh utility command) if that's all you want.

This guy is calling Trump supporters like myself a cancer that needs to be killed. Who's the real nazi? We need Trump to fix this country and we need it fast
That reads as quite the troll, politically or financially motivated but I'll indulge you. To start off, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, do you have citations for either of your claims? Your entire argument rested on them yet you didn't produce.

Even once you produce those, I disagree with your premise. The comparison should be work-related suicides in other factories in nations with better labor conditions. Fiat factory suicides vs Foxconn would make more sense than the population as a whole. Making more money with Pixar, if true, is not correlation or causation.

You can make money, and not drive your employees or sub-contracted to suicide. Exploitation is not a requirement for financial success or otherwise. That was the point.
In 1954 Eisenhower approved Operation Wetback, rounding up over 1 million Mexicans and forcefully deporting them to Mexico. I am not sure anything Trump has proposed thus far would approach that scale, although he did make reference to it during a debate.

"Dual N-Back" remains one of the best - it may be the only one that really works, unlike the bulk of other brain games that truly are scams.

This one has extensive research literature, and many free/ad-supported and cheap ones on android and iPhone app-stores.

For a critical discussion of the research see: https://www.quora.com/How-does-dual-n-back-actually-increase...

It seems to be one of the best if you interested in this sort of thing.

Claims include: improved working memory, improved executive functioning (great for ADHD/ADD), improved emotional control, self control and regulation, minor bump in IQ.
It's incredibly obvious you have a dog in this fight and are incredibly biased. It's well known almost every recording artist gets screwed, and that it's easier to fight fans than their bosses. Take what you've written about startup youtube, and applied it to TODAY'S youtube, but flipped it to be 100000% anti-consumer, you'd be on the right track. Thanks to your record companies, I can no longer broadcast my gameplay if the game itself has coded-in music, because my video will get flagged as stolen content. If I'm recording a 3 hour video, and a friend walks in and his ringtone goes off and happens to be 4 secs of a song....I now have my entire video removed for content theft, though I've never done such a thing.

This all happened thanks to the Viacom lawsuit[1], which forced youtube to be the most pro-recording industry, and anti-consumer popular site ever. Now, an automated bot trolls everyone's videos for any knid of match, and if flagged the video is automatically taken down unless you file an appeal. In other words, guilty until proven innocent. Unless you are a record label, then it's innocent until proven guilty.

Did you miss the Family Guy fiasco[2], where they used a 7 year old video of Nintendo gameplay footage in the show, the bot saw it as "Fox Owned", and had it removed for copyright infringement.

The youtube era you describe was for a few months-years. We've been dealing with the bullshit youtube became EVER SINCE. Forgive me if the complaints of a record company insider (in whatever capacity you may be), falls on deaf ears.

This is reminiscent of Lars Ulrich complaining about Napster and the internet in general. Only even he admitted he was wrong about that.

Good analysis. We also penalized the thread the way we normally do for purely political stories.
Candles, wine and bread aren't technologies? Hard to take this seriously. (And I like to play music, and both music and musical instruments are technology, etc.)

A better issue is not getting sucked into "legal drugs" that have no nutritional value.

"We are already stupid" -- this is why things could be much much better but aren't. We have to start with ourselves, and a positive way to do this is to ask "what can real education really do to help humanity?"

That's currently blocker #1 for us when it comes to the new Docker for Mac/Win. VirtualBox works as a nice abstraction layer on top of 3 OSes (Mac/Win/Linux) which simplifies things with Vagrant. Unfortunately it seems VirtualBox has been in maintenance mode as of lately so that might have contributed to Docker's decision to go with HyperV/xhyve.
Great, now make it a first class citizen in compose and mix in docker-machine's provisioning capabilities!

Groovy was named by its creator, James Strachan, in 2003. By 2006 (i.e. 10 years ago), he had been managed out and a business sort without technical knowledge had taken over. He's since slowly wrecked Groovy's sexy brand and placed it firmly in the Java camp. I tried reversing the trend with stuff like "grOOvy", and the Groovy grrrrrrowl, Ooooooooo, and Vy (for "victory") but that business person running Groovy skuttled the effort, appearing far more interested in retaining his centralized control over Groovy branding. Groovy's since been handed over to Apache, being run by a 10-member "Project Management Committee", only 4 of which actually do any technical work on Groovy's code base. The other 6, including the "PMC Chair", just do administrative fuss.
Thanks for the info.

> Most think I imagine this / or it's a psychological issue manifesting in your body

That's a shame. The fact that it amplifies as soon as I tense my neck muscles should be testable within a lab environment.

I too thought that it was nerve pinching, and because of such, was always under the impression that it was normal. When explaining this to my wife, I just get blank stares :)
I've been playing traditional music for decades, even qualifying to compete at a high level at one point. There is a high density of reward inherent in music, combined with variable schedules of reward. There is competition and a challenge to explore the edges of the envelope of one's aesthetic and sensory awareness along with the limits of one's physical coordination.

Many of the same things can happen in sandbox style games. I think there is a tremendous potential for learning in such abstracted environments. What about something like Minecraft, but with abstracted molecules instead of blocks? Problems, like the ones around portraying how molecules inside a cell are constantly jostling against water molecules, could be solved in such environments using design. Many people who play well balanced games at a high level often seem to be learning something about strategy and tactics in particular rule systems. I suspect that there is something educationally valuable in a carefully chosen and implemented rule system.

Also perhaps, it's so much easier to exploit such mechanisms to merely addict people, that overwhelms any value to be gained.
I believe that his proposals would spark trade wars which would deeply harm our prosperity. I believe that his economic ideas are not founded in reasoning but merely in what he thinks sounds good to his supporters. I believe that Trump is not a rational person, and that his decisions would be greatly harmful simply because they wouldn't be based on facts or reason.

I don't think safety is much of an issue, because we're essentially invulnerable barring some radical change. I do think that Trump's policies could get a lot of non-Americans killed.

My one comfort is that the president is not as powerful as people think he is, and Trump might not be able to actually do any of the things he wants to do. But on the other hand, the president can potentially wield soft power over the rest of government with great effectiveness, as we saw during the Bush years, so that's hardly a guarantee
I love the concept here, but I'm not sure that comparing something to TurboTax is a particularly strong endorsement...

You are, for supporting a nationalistic demagogue riding a wave of hateful xenophobia by exploiting people's suffering during an economic downturn. Next question.
That was the article, thanks for introducing me to EDGE, it's great!

What's scary is that so many people actually want him to win.

I am not sure, exactly, how that is scary. Let's take a look at the reality of our current political situation, fear mongering and demagogic arguments aside. We in the US live in a country with two parties that have, for all intents and purposes, chosen their two favorites for leaders. When we go to the polls in November we will either vote for Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Trump. You have essentially three choices at this very moment:

1) Pick Mrs. Clinton because you believe in her principles and values more than Mr. Trumps.
2) Pick Mr. Trump because you believe in his principles and values more than Mrs. Clintons.
3) Don't vote for either Mrs. Clinton nor Mr. Trump and get whatever the rest of the population picks.

So when people say it is "scary that so many people actually want him to win", remember it is not all that scary. They just believe in his principles and values more than they believe in Mrs. Clintons. They have reason. You might think their reasons are ridiculous, stupid, or absurd. But there are only two candidates and you can only side with one. Let's not make this any bigger than it actually is.
Watch out for counterfit memory cards too. The jerks openly label them Sandisk, Kingston etc., but of course they are junk. I am puzzled why Amazon can't "follow the money" and completely shutdown these crooks.
Flip this around. Would you be okay with a presidential candidate saying that a white judge was unable to do his job b/c of his color? What if a ban of additional white immigrants was being proposed? Would you be okay with a female candidate stating that women are clearly superior to the inferior male?

I hope you would stand up and speak out against such actions, because I know I would.

Some companies use a successful Kickstarter campaign as a positive signal to attract investment.

If they set a low but reasonable goal and achieve it, it is ostensibly a positive signal that a market exists for whatever niche product they are building.

While the capital acquired through is almost always not sufficient to fulfil the orders, investment helps to.

This model fails when investment dries up and the second part of the plan does not work out.

This is probably what happened to gest. They had most certainly had a working prototype and were definitely not vaporware in the true sense of the word.

It could be that the only way to create a market for such a product is through an inferior product and less creative founders who have had successful exits in the past and can self fund.
Beside objects one true revolutionary idea in Smalltalk is the uniformity of meta facilities - an object knowing about itself and being able to tell you.

I see so many dev resources burnt just because people build boring UIs or persistence bindings by wiring MANUALLY in traditional languages. All this is a no-brainer when enough meta infos (objects and relations) are available and a program is reflected as data as in Smalltalk (not dead text). You can not only transform data but also your code. Pharo now makes some more additonal steps to enhance reflection (metalinks, slots, etc).

What do you see as next steps in using metadata/-infos for (meta)programming ...

On the cycling side, I'd have to disagree. It's one type of exercise you can get into while being very overweight: the gearing means you can start out really gently and very gradually work up over time. You can start out pottering around short distances at a very slow pace without it being too stressful. I have a friend who was unhealthily obese who started cycling, and in a year they were utterly transformed. To the point they could actually enter cycling races. And they were healthier in both mind and body--looked very healthy, and noticeably changed positive outlook.

Diet is definitely important for sure, but so is exercise. Diet is controlling what's going into your body. Exercise will improve your body's metabolism, and have a host of other benefits.
AFAIK, there are no long-term (30+ year) studies comparing women who have never-used, briefly-used, and long-term-used hormonal drugs to suppress their menstrual cycle. The Women's Health Initiative found that prescription horse piss (PREMARIN, made from PREgnant MARes' urIN) was not good for women's health.

I have personally used non-prescription Progesterone USP to recover from a head injury, so I'm inclined to believe the heretical scientists who heckle the birth control peddlers.

I hadn't come across stow before. I might integrate that into my dotfiles.

I get what you mean about using that opportunity to do some spring cleaning. I find I need to do that to my Vim installation periodically too. I'll add a new plugin that looks like it will be useful, or add something for a new language or template system, then not use it enough to justify it.

Bob Barton once called systems programmers "High priests of a low cult" and pointed out that "computing should be in the School of Religion" (ca 1966).

Thinking is difficult in many ways, and we humans are not really well set up to do it -- genetically we "learn by remembering" (rather than by understanding) and we "think by recalling" rather than actual pondering. The larger issues here have to do with various kinds of caching Kahneman's "System 1" does for us for real-time performance and in lieu of actual thinking.
Bostrom has to stack assumption on tenuous assumption because that's the nature of the problem. but some things get more certain the closer to a genuine superintelligence one gets, such as the assertion that it is the last invention humans need devise.

Bostrom is also using the tools of human philosophy assuming they are general enough to apply to superintelligence. So he comes off as inherently anthropomorphizing even as he warns against doing just that.

He said Superintelligence was a very difficult book to write and that's probably part of what he meant by "difficult."

There is plenty to doubt. One big doubt about the danger of AI is that AI is not an animal. It is not alive like an animal. It has no death like an animal has. It doesn't need a "self." It doesn't propagate genes. It did not evolve through natural selection. So, except for Bostrom's use of whole brain emulation as a yardstick, there isn't much of the commonplace things that makes humans dangerous that needs to be in an AI.

But if the ideas of "strategic advantage" are in general correct, in the way Bostrom uses them, then Bostrom is right to say we are like a child playing with a bomb.
Actually, I'm calling the ignorance and insecurity a cancer that needs to be killed. Nice demonstration of the insecurity, though, good job.
Ask HN: Has anyone moved from development to pen-testing?
Hi,

lately I've been wondering if it's worth it to make a switch from development into pen testing. I've been a hobbyist "whitehat" (if you wanna call it that) for ~10 years and a professional web developer during the same period, so no formal pen testing experience.

What I'm thinking of is that it will be a step back (salary wise) from my current package with no guarantee that I'll be able to progress as quick as I'd like to (the way companies work) (I'm a senior dev at the moment).

Has anyone done something similar? Should I chase a career switch or should I keep playing with bug bounties?
And the compiler that generates the assert also has a test suite for that.
