Here is a PDF of a version with an added preface with that disavowment. His reasoning (focus on human application rather than just on method itself) makes sense to me, but I'm still excited to see read the methods.

This is a tangential argument we're having, but the CCP, while perhaps not spurring it, is at least reveling in it, and most definitely encouraging it and helping it along where it can. Anybody who thinks otherwise is willfully ignorant or woefully naive about the CCP. Nobody benefits more than the Chinese government. Big brother would be proud.

But government involvement is not the main point of your article. I think it's a great illustration that no matter how much marketing jargon the and kool-aid we peddle, we still can't escape basic economic principles.
Hope that's the case. Always seemed like a better idea than having it be firmware controlled.
Maybe so the sound wouldn't go in... ;)

Could just be a joke. People like having subtle fun. If I were someone whose moves were so scrutinized, I'd have some fun with silly things too.
We already have gun control laws, restricting guns and regulating them.

Do you mean gun banning laws? Because if you're talking about gun banning, that's never going to happen. The American citizens will not give them up without a bloody civil war. It is one of the fundamental rights of an American. It is at the core of American values, the root American identity.
Okay, now I've got an interesting question. On my ancient MacBook, while using bootcamp, there was a driver issue, which did not allow me to disable TOSLINK in my audio jack, so always shining a bright red light out of it. While not being annoying, would it been possible to grab the audio information wile being in a line-of-sight?

That would be the only thing why I "could" understand taping over the audio jack...
I see "Start Encrypt" as a capitalist answer to a competing product with (very) cheesy marketing, while what Comodo tries to do is purely malicious.

IMHO we can't put them in the same basket.

I didn't believe when I received their email about it and bashing Let's Encrypt initiative. If StartSSL could do it, why they haven't done it years ago? Bunch of scumbags.

计算着 I guess more literally translates to "one who computes", whereas 电脑 translates to "electric brain" which is a way more fun image, but I have no idea how the usage varies.

They also released some 640x480 screenshots. They are included in Romero's post (fourth row), but that may not be obvious due to scaling. See the originals at http://doomgate.gamers.org/games/quake/screens.html

Fun thing about QTest1: even though you could only explore a static level and there were no creatures in it, the (then) Doom editing community had a ball delving into the details of the WAD format containing all its data. Finally they were rewarded: id had just dumped their graphics assets into the wad, and there were models inside, including the dragon, seen in the screenshots but, alas, not in the final game.
SaaS Companies: Stop Putting Support in a Silo
Ah, the death throes of a big company that suddenly had its business model invalidated.

Well, not entirely; there are market niches that Let's Encrypt doesn't cover: org-validated and extended validation certs, wildcard certs, anyone who needs a cert that expires in years, ECDSA certs (for the time being)...

But theres no doubt that their revenue will be significantly cut, they'll lose shareholder value and need layoffs.

Their industry did it to themselves; a TLS cert company should have 5 engineers, 5 customer support people, and 2 managers, and should charge about 10% of what they do.

In my current SF employer, a very large percentage of senior engineers with kids just remote from other places.

The trick here is that companies that aren't paying top dollar in SF have a lot of trouble getting senior engineers, as the Netflixes and Facebooks of the world pay more and offer RSUs. However, the same salaries that are seen as a bit lacking in SF are good enough to attract top remote talent.

Therefore, the difference is not necessarily about lower salaries by cost of living, but lower salaries by company.
I have a friend who played Q3 for 6 years in a hardcore manner. I have played fps games for like 10 years but when we fought the result was 50 to -1 in his favor. (I managed to kill him once but I landed in lava 2 times) 4 years later we played again (he was not playing Q3 for 4 years) the result was 50 to 2 in h is favor. The skill cap in Q3 is just so damn high but it is also a rewarding experience.
Hopefully it's better than their own calendar app they install on their Android phones.

My sister was missing the "task" view in the calendar app. Found out that this is Huawei's abysmal own calender - it worked in the Google calendar.

A friend of mine (using a Huawei Android phone too) had problems to view multiple calendars at once. The solution was to install Google calendar on the phone.

So I'm not too thrilled with their Android apps.
Have you ever seen Tizen APIs?

They already went through Meego, BADA OS, and now EFL reboots.

I wouldn't bother to code for it, not even as an hobby.

And I do code as an hobby for Android and WP.
Sounds like they aren't paying enough. If people demanded what they needed to live a decent life, they would either have to get it or the companies would wake up and relocate more quality jobs to lower COL locations.
This probably depends on where you live...
It's definitely the audio jack, but you can use it for a mic, I just don't understand how it can record you without a mic plugged in. Thus my honest question.

While the naming might be similar, they are actually providing a free ssl cert, right? similar to LE.

If that is the case, then its a good thing (IMHO)
You're right in that the implicit bit extends all the way up the call stack. They aren't the same in practice, just in theory.

That implicit parallel 'track' is useful in doing the Foo => Result<Foo, Error> for you in the form of Result<Foo, Exception> but bad in not warning of unmatched values and hiding the fact. Like many a tool it can be abused by those who know just enough to use it but not enough to know why.

This is why Java originally forced you to make thrown exceptions explicit. This railway approach is one good way of dealing with error conditions explicitly.
It's interesting to hear these experiences from people that live there. Because there is certainly a romanticized version of it we see on the East Coast. Living in upstate New York, we have tons of wilderness areas, and relatively cheap living conditions. The grind out in California, just to say you live there, sounds scary.

What you've just described is a hodgepodge of stuff thrown together. That's a lack of language design with a surplus of features. My readings on older reports for language designs showed the art was figuring out just how much power to include in the language & keeping it all consistent/sensible. One can overdo it.

An example of a clean, carefully-thought language that's low-level, consistent, and very powerful is PreScheme:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PreScheme

Modula-3, a C++ and Java competitor, was another where they made careful tradeoffs of features, safety, compile speed, run speed, and ease of learning/reading.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modula-3

There's also some dialects of Haskell and ML focusing on system level. Didn't hit those levels of maturity though. What I'd like to see is someone take the Nim tech, subset it, change inconsistent stuff to be consistent... basically clean it up into a coherent picture... then deploy that as a new language. It could be pretty awesome if it happens. Right now, it's too complex and incoherent except for people, as you said, willing to do a huge learning curve.

Note: Nim is so huge now that it might be easier to add Ada static checks and Rust dynamic/concurrency checks to PreScheme instead of fixing Nim. You'd have a low-level, safe LISP. Put a 3GL front end on top of it for more adoption. That's what Julia people did.
Getting some sort of 3d accelerator for openGL and turning it on in the settings I remember being a glorious thing.
Thank you - I was beginning to wonder if anyone in this conversation understood this. It is really the key to meaningfully (!!) move forward in this stuff.
I have mine covered with a sticker printed from a labelmaker that reads "Go away NSA".
Hm? This seems to be the perfect use of this "intellectual property"[1]. Comodo is trying to deceive people, Let's Encrypt is trying to prevent it by enforcing their trademarks. This is how it's supposed to work.

[1] I don't like the term "intellectual property" mostly because people forget or misunderstand what it refers to and how the many various things called "intellectual property" work individually and differently from each other.

How to Convince Your Boss to Let You Work Remotely
It does get taught, but I think it's one of those things that people don't internalize until they've been on the wrong side of it, or just get a little older (mid-20's). Aka a maturity thing.
For using the word 'Encrypt', or something else?
Problem is, soon as everyone starts demanding more, then the cost of everything else goes up. There is limited space, and those people making the most, will pay the most regardless. Just a never ending cycle.
Diving into Radare2
Ask HN: What to do if you're not good at your new job?
I'm a statistician with ten years of experience and I recently accepted a data scientist job in SV. Long story short, I'm not a good developer and the past four months have not been too kind. Thus, I'm realizing that while I'm a solid statistician, programming is not my strong suit, and really isn't something I enjoy. What would you do in such situations?
I guess that's true; one can't really tell or moralize about other people's money. They are free to do as they wish; I agree with that on a personal level.

But if we think of wealth more than an abstract thing and more as a societal contract, then things do change a little bit. Wealth is society's way of abstracting the capacity to work. You can keep all your wealth in gold coins in a big building but without a society that values it, its really not worth that much. Wealth is a claim on other people's work, other people being members of a society. So, we have the situation that only the combination of wealth and society is actually worth anything.

If that is the case, it is in the interest of the wealthy, to foster a society in which 1) More work can be obtained in total and 2) More work can be obtained for less money. The former leads to philanthropy (betterment of society), and the latter leads to lobbying against taxation for the rich and other measures to redistribute income; since when more wealth is held by few, the few can make the many work for less (more labor than capital).

But wait, there is another dimension: if you think about the wealthy in Germany buying an expensive BMW, it still doesn't seem as bad, since the wealth is still within German society. But when you have wealthy Chinese buying a German car, then the wealth which was accumulated by the labor of the Chinese society is now going to the German society.

I couldn't possibly guess his motives for covering the lens, but I'll give you mine: There are times when you inadvertently open apps which like opening the camera, and if you're unawares, that basically live streams you till you notice or someone pings you.

In other words, it's not do much someone will hack you, but rather you're minimizing having a "hot lens" or a "hot mic" unbeknownst.
I understood iLoch's comment to be about "losing" the water ('I was shocked to learn water used in fracking is permanently "gone"'), and I was explaining why one-time loss of water is unimportant, because the oceans are limitless and our fresh water supply is a rate that is sourced by the ocean. It doesn't matter if the water is polluted, injected deep underground, or fired into space. If you want, you can replace "sullying" with "burying".

No, really, as these games progressed from the simpler wolf3d-style rendering where there was no attempt to shade things, which allowed a much more diverse set of colors, their colors became progressively less diverse.

Just look at the Quake palette:
https://quakewiki.org/wiki/Quake_palette

Note how much of it is wasted on gradients, this is to get the more realistic 3d shading out of relatively few colors. Of course they made some choices in designing Quake to better position itself for a successful result working within these limitations, but it's the limitations forcing their hand.

> Acting in bad faith so openly lowers them to the levels of patent-trolls.

You seem to imply there was a time in recent memory where comodo itself was at a level above patent trolls. At a high level, patent trolling is associated with rent collection behaviour and using coercion to profit. I see this as comodo's core business, so I guess I am just quibbling about timeframe.

Having lived in Long Island, NY and Boca Raton, FL I gotta say... I don't think I could leave the Bay Area.

The weather, the geological features, the schools, the meetups, the job opportunities... all factors.

But the biggest is that the people are truly interested in intellectual matters in a way that was not extant in the other places I've lived. My son is a programmer and nobody had a clue what he was talking about--which is fine--but they also couldn't care less to even try to understand.

And also, there is a lot of prejudice that I am glad my kids will not grow up in the milieu of.
Doesn't really help in this context. What's the difference between "pythonic" and "idiomatic"?

Does Coconut being pythonic mean it's written in idiomatic Python (then why is it a different language?) or does it mean it's written in idiomatic Coconut?

I don't think they thought this through.
Yep, supply and demand can't be overcome. I suspect raising minimum wage must have the same effect over time as well.
This is happening almost everywhere, but at a less frightening pace than CA. And we are told continually by the chattering class and politicians that skyrocketing real estate prices - asset inflation - is a good thing. Since forever a stable residential real estate market was the goal and people understood its value. Now we're all gamblers, meaning losers. When the hedge funds and REIT's stop speculating in residential real estate and pull out, there will be a deafening crash.

I watch the movie again once each few months. The movie has only a fission bomb. I have to suspect that building a successful, small fusion bomb would need quite a lot of computer simulation and also testing. The testing can't be hidden.

But a fission bomb could be plenty nasty.

You are correct: If can steal, say, a sufficient fissionable material, then might be able to do the rest without anyone noticing.

My understanding is that usually for a Pu bomb, have to compress the material like the US did with Fat Man. That compression is not easy to do. IIRC, there are some much more clever ways to do the compression, but, again, they would likely require a lot of computing and testing. That is, I'm not sure Pu would work in a gun barrel bomb.

I just know this stuff at the level of the two Richard Rhodes books and a few Wikipedia articles. I've never seen any classified material on bomb design.

> isn't covering a large enough API?

We stabilize lots of stuff every release, but we also don't want to stabilize things that aren't ready. Once we do, we're stuck with that interface forever.

A significant portion of nightly users are on it due to compiler plugins, even for libraries that work on stable, because it makes development a bit easier. Stabilizing those immediately would mean stabilizing compiler internals, which is a pretty huge drawback.

We have plans for addressing that specifically, as well as for the more general "libraries change" problems. They will come as part of an actual announcement, not a leaked first draft blog post :)
My wife and I spent a year in the Bay Area (San Mateo), and there was a lot to love. Great weather, awesome farmers markets, plenty of work, etc.

But holly cow was it expensive! My rent was around $2000/month. I had a co-worker living in SF proper who's apartment was $4500/month. And that was 4-5 years ago, it's probably gone up by now.

After a year, we moved back to Ohio - I now have a good-sized house on nearly an acre of land, and my 15-year mortgage is just over $1000/month.

The difference is going into my retirement savings: I'm on track to have enough to retire at around age 45.
