In the 1970s and early 80s nearly everything produced in Japan was a crap copy of a US or European design. Motorcycles, cars, hifi (more lo-fi). Only later did they figure out how to make things reasonably well and start to innovate themselves.

Now it's China's turn. In ten years it'll probably be someone else as Chinese development continues. Just as Hollywood got their start years ago.

Ah, Korea, the first "Rules of Engagement" war. I wonder what would have actually happened if MacArthur had expanded the war as he planned, before Truman clapped the muzzle on him.

Similar to Vietnam, the suggestion that the US military is ready to take the gloves off and actually fight a real war is usually enough to bring anything less than a first-rate military power to the negotiating table. Well, assuming that the enemy is anything like an actual government with real responsibilities to its people, rather than a decentralized rabble of Islamic thugs.

We have replaced our in-person team retros every week with LatticeHQ.com's weekly check-ins, where every employee answers 4 basic questions (the defaults on Lattice):

1. What did you focus on this week?

2. What are your plans and priorities for next week?

3. What challenges or roadblocks do you need help with?

4. Is there anything else on your mind you'd like to share?

Managers then can review and comment on each part of the check-in. That happens the same day, which means that it doesn't feel like a waste of time. Even just an emoji as a comment can provide positive feedback.

I like this process because it's efficient. I also enjoy a log of what I have done in past weeks to reinforce that we are progressing. Lattice is primarily a goal-tracking app, so tying goal updates to weekly check-ins makes the process easier.

This works for us, but we're a small team. Weekly status emails sound like a different beast relating to tiers of tiers of teams.

I suspect that part of the difficulty of the "weekly status email" is keeping track of updates from memory. As the author describes the Zynga framework, it's clear that it's easy because it asks for fairly objective things - like OKRs. It sounds like scaling a solution like Lattice to larger companies would ideally prepopulate reports with data - like "Closed these 7 goals . . . , closed these 8 pull requests . . . , analytics shows goal X did Y" - then allow the manager to edit and provide context.
You're misreading the article, I think. They didn't release a new version under the GPL. They didn't retroactively undo licensing for older versions.

It is not at all clear that you can snap your fingers and renegotiate an existing license arbitrarily like that. You need to do it in advance of the agreement.

Right, sophisticated attackers have had custom SHA256 circuits for a long time; less sophisticated attackers are only gaining them now that they are present in CPUs. But if you're defending against such less sophisticated attackers, you're still not losing anything; worst case, SHA256 instructions in CPUs give them the same speedup as you're getting so their cost remains fixed.

I think your best bet is to follow the advice here to offer a bounty, but also start setting up honeypot servers for each of your public network facing services. This way you can do surveillance as this hacker (or others) are gaining access to your system. Good honeypot monitoring software should tell you where they got in from, what directories they accessed, and keystrokes being used.

You don't get promoted past a certain point in many large US corporations if you don't support the power structure. Thanks to facebook trackers and and other such browser analytics, it's entirely possible for most HR departments to easily fingerprint you (ostensibly to ensure you're not a threat - e.g. militant in sheep's clothing or other loose cannon).
Better yet, don't expose SSH to untreated networks. Setup a VPN/jumpbox and only allow connectivity from that jump box.

I have a similar opinion with my car. "The inside of your car is a public place". By all means lock the car, but don't keep anything valuable in it.

And if you have a valuable thing in sight, then even with the fanciest locks, you're running the risk of broken windows. Just easier to keep nice stuff out of that 'public place'.

"Swift’s rise is impressive, as it’s jumped five positions to 11th place since last year, when it first entered the rankings"

Swift will enter the top 10 next year after more iOS developers finally see it as stable. The big source changes in the upcoming 3.0 have caused a lot of people to wait.
> These cannot be stripped out of the platform because they're "blessed" and now everyone will forever have a bad time. I suggest we don't do that for Rust.

It sounds like the proposal in the OP avoids this problem by having versioned platforms that are independent of the Rust version. So if something turns out to be a bad idea, it can be stripped out of later platform versions and replaced with something better without disrupting users of the older platforms.
My position on this has always been that, if somebody wants badly enough to steal my shit, they are going to. The only thing that locking doors is going to do is ensure that, not only is all of my shit stolen, but I have a kicked-in, busted, door to fix to boot.

I grew up in a small town and felt the same way. But punks are savvy, and in some cases, which they are well aware of, criminal charges for stealing when a door is open are much less.

So I lock my door, especially car doors, and I don't have problems anymore :)
Could you elaborate please? What makes it phenomenal? Also, is it still the traditional model of a company town (i.e. everything owned by the same co.)?

It's opt-out which is unfortunate. Though custom themes aren't affected (yet).

They already inserted some terrible auto-playing audio ads into the Dashboard and now this? I think they're on a downward spiral.

Funnily enough this format is nearly identical to what I call the "scrum email" which is something I've previously asked remote freelancers to send in daily and found it works as well if not better than actual stand-ups. That list of things to put in a sitrep is one of the things that Scrum gets right:

- Brief summary of what was done since last report

- What's next

- Any blockers

- Anything else important (optional)

The only difference is the inclusion of OKRs/KPIs, which makes sense if you are using them. I tend to do something similar with project status reports as well, which will usually have red/amber/green in the subject line and if the status isn't green, the email starts with the reason!
What's the point in knowing the NSA is monitoring everything you say and do?

I'd hope people do what they like. You want it, go for it! But if you really want a little apartment with a cat and stacks of books, go for that. I think there's was a pressure to get married, buy a house and start having kids, at least through the 80's. There's nothing wrong with that, and it makes lots of people happy. I could do that, but i don't want the commute.
I wonder if Python's rise in popularity has reduced shell scripting? Python has even displaced AWK in my tool use.
Obviously I am talking about free like "education", not free as in "no human input" It's a bit "dishonest" to take ridiculous literal meaning of the word to misrepresent what's clearly my point.

To explain fully, I am advocating the system where a person who earns $0 per day can enter and leave a hospital treated for free. They don't work, don't contribute to society, but as a unit everyone just agrees to look after their basic health as a minimum. As well people with money can do the same without even a thought about what their health insurance does / doesn't cover or when it kicks in, they just pitch up to the hospital.

I'd be very curious to hear more about this. I've flirted on and off with note-taking on books for all the same reasons you mention, but I invariably feel guilty about progressing too slowly. In a weird way, I think this a quintessentially American affliction - like our obsession with throughput and productivity washes into our real lives as well. I'm just wondering what you do to fight that instinct. Specifically, I think the two things that get me are : (1) feeling bad about not reading enough and (2) worrying about being ultimately disappointed with a book and having wasted my time taking notes.

The ZK property absolutely doesn't matter. Imagine that instead of passwords the client stored a private key, and transmitted the associated public key to the server. Then when logging in the server sent a challenge and the client signed the challenge with their private key. The server then validated the signature against the public key for the user. This is absolutely not a zero-knowledge proof, but is a definite proof-of-knowledge since you've proved you know the private key.

Zero-knowledge proof (soundness, completeness, zero-knowledge) is a subset of proof-of-knowledge (soundness, completeness), so your last statement is true by definition.
Using Chrome on Windows, I can right-click anywhere in the browser window, select "LastPass", select "Copy Password", and click the domain/user. (There's usually only one listed, unless I have multiple accounts on the site.)

Then just click the password field and Ctrl-V, of course.

If you're concerned about the clipboard, get in the habit of typing Shift-LeftArrow Ctrl-C after entering the password, to quickly replace your clipboard with a single character.
That's incredible, I don't even know what to say. I'm looking at your website and it really is very useful, thanks for putting it up. I'll spread the word around about it when I get to the city.

I've done some grant-writing work on Upwork, and I'm trying to get into other writing opportunities for gigs. Is there anywhere you recommend for that, in particular that doesn't scam people? I will definitively come back Aug 1st and check out that thread, thanks. That reddit definitively is interesting...

I remember when Amazon started Mturk and all of a sudden, the gig economy hit the internet. Visionary, really.
Or maybe not if more developers realise they can create the majority of mobile apps in JS using React Native.
>This latest attempt to drum up the Russian boogeyman is incredibly laughable

I'd argue it's scary. In the interview below with Eric Holder the interviewer says something about Russia being an adversary... rightfully so or not, that is exactly the sound bites that Putin wants and needs inside Russia to keep beating the drum that the U.S. and the world are out to get them. You just "proved" what Putin has been saying inside of Russia. Exactly what we don't need.

I love the idea of the standup. Getting a read on what everybody is doing is a great idea. It's idiotic to do it as a synchronous operation that stops the world and frigs up everybody's day, though. This is one of those things that would take five minutes to think about, write up, and post to someplace public first thing in the morning, after which you could dig in and actually get some work done.

Is D.N.C. Email Hacker a Person or a Russian Front? Experts Aren’t Sure
Why can't the people who develop it reimburse those who donated(with interest) at very least? This is a sector that has rather loud comments regarding it's intellectual property and make no mistake, human beings have died due it's monopoly. Is it not fair to ask for a piece of the action? Wouldn't they?
But if you have a large standard library and want to break the API, you can.

If you have 100 different libs that are basically "standard" (who doesn't have `mtl` in their applications at this point), now you have to coordinate 100 different library updates roughly at the same time. If you forget even one of them, then you've broken everything.

I think the argument for a large Prelude/standard lib is similar to Google's "single repo" argument: Easy to catch usages and fix them all at once. Plus you're making the language more useful out of the box. People coming from python can understand this feeling of opening a python shell and being productive super quickly form the get-go.

Arguments for small std lib exist, of course. But Giant standard libraries are more useful than not.

EDIT: I think the failure of the Haskell Platform has a lot more to do with how Haskell deals with dependencies, and the difficulties it entails, than with the "batteries included" approach itself.
Seed Stage Investors in Silicon Valley
You've made a false assumption that "intense competition" (italicised for emphasis!) always makes things cheaper. It doesn't apply with health insurance, which is why health costs are so much higher in the U.S than anywhere else. [1]

Fact: the system of private health insurance in the U.S makes it more expensive for everyone. Source: every other western country paying far less. It is possible for the free market to fail when the thing people are buying is something they would pay any amount of money for.

Nice idea. Ship has sailed on that one though.
The Surface is a pretty damn nice device that will be really great in a year or two when it's finally ready for prime time, and Apple finally deigns to do what a bunch of PC manufacturers are doing and clone it. It will be hailed as the Next Big Thing then.

I say this as someone who's been a Mac user since 2000, and finds Windows really annoying. Being able to run Serious Desktop Apps in a tablet is really amazing, and I would be using a Surface to type this right now if I hadn't had to return my S4Pro because my favorite Serious Art App ignores the first half-second or so of every stylus stroke. Instead I'm sitting in a cafe with my Air and my Wacom tablet next to it. Which used to be a delightfully lightweight portable art studio, but now feels absurdly massive.

(The Surface may not feel like a big deal to someone whose Serious App is an IDE and always needs a full keyboard anyway - but sitting on a bus, a plane, or a crowded lunch counter, with the Surface and a desktop-class art app is pretty delightful. Well, aside from the terrible battery life, made even worse by its tendency to wake up in your bag and burn through half its battery, occasional reboot-requiring Bluetooth disconnects, and unpadded stylus.)
JavaScript is #8? I think your maths are broken.
There's probably a lot of people on here who don't remember MySpace and Geocities, but restriction of UI customization was a huge FB advantage. The former proved that users cannot be trusted with foreground and background color control. Not to mention autoplaying music applets.
> By keeping platforms / package collections in userland we can get organic collections of stuff that make sense to bundle together. Imagine a "server platform", an "event loop platform", a "calculus platform", a "programming language platform". It would be detrimental to creativity to have all these collections live in the shadow of the "rust committee blessed platform".

That's exactly what we want to do. We don't have the domain expertise in many of these areas, but we want to enable those ecosystems to help develop their own platforms. It's one of our goals to make sure any infrastructure we develop for the "Rust Platform" is usable throughout our community.
Why the hell don't more people do this? I sit on lengthy stand-ups where people gripe or lecture with no expected resolution, meanwhile all I have to say is "business as usual" and I don't need anyone else's status, and could skim over updates in a few seconds, and even catch up with them later if need be.
Contractors don't get holiday or sick leave though.
I guess it's more about adjusting your reward system to be driven by helping others, rather than self gratification. I agree, your points can be what makes the work enjoyable on a personal level; but most people will working for others, so it makes sense to deliver the best solution for them.

So, although it's fun to reinvent wheels - partly to build up your skills and knowledge, and satisfy one's curiosity - the best solution for your customer/client/manager/business might be to use something off the shelf.
I think even Intel is confused about their own extensions at this point. The E7 and E5 Xeons are Haswell systems that slightly speed up SHA-256 and 512 with the introduced BMI2 RORX instruction.

As far as I know there are no SHA extensions before Goldmont, as mrb said, and in Cannonlake for non-low-power chips.
Oh sure. When there's a plausible reason for thinking something is scale-free, I'm all for it.

For a while though, it was en vogue to find power law distributions in all sorts of weird places (email response times, numbers of friends), and that's what I was attempting to object to!
It is not racist to point out institutional racial biases when there is evidence for their existence. It is racist to make baseless speculations about an individual person's biases simply because of their ethnicity. It's the difference between pointing out that black Americans are more likely to be involved in violent crime than white Americans (not racist) vs. assuming that a particular individual is going to commit a violent crime simply because they are black (racist).

The algorithm discussion is too vague to really engage with, but it's presumably possible that a person's biases could influence their choice of algorithm in certain instances. If we're talking about, say, an algorithm for matching profiles on okcupid, then certain biases of the programmer might "leak" into the design of the algorithm. You could argue semantics over whether the algorithm itself is really "biased", but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the discussion you linked to.
Sort of. I bet I could take a snippet of C++ and find flags which would slow runtime right the heck down myself.
Why do you genuinely believe the Rift is DOA? They is, objectively, a huge amount of hype around it today.

That sounds about right. My experience with a Tesla is that city driving is somewhat more efficient than highway driving, typically. The constant starts and stops still cost you, but not as much, and the lower speeds make up for that loss. I don't know how how true that would be of trucks, but I'd guess it would be similar.

With good DC charging, you should be able to count on adding 50% of your battery over a 30-minute lunch break, so if you do 240 miles in a day, your battery pack would need to be able to handle 160 city miles. Less if your truck is idle more or if it could charge more.
Yeah I got straw-manned pretty hard (and took the bait), like I was advocating a fully volunteer health network or money on trees situation...
They leave a card for you anyways. If it were something more targeted and covert I'm sure they kind find a replacement ziptie. Even if it took extra time they could have temporarily "lost" it.
With more than four times as many android phones being sold than Windows machines it's not as far fetched as you might think.

For a more direct comparison Windows phone has 5% of iOS market share and 1% of Androids. Most major software news is off Windows Instagram and Pokemon Go for example really don't care about the desktop. The web got good enough that many services are native on mobile and Windoes just gets a website.
