Wouldn't a much more natural unit for angular measurements be 1/(2*pi)? That way angular measurements are represented as their fraction of a circle (which is pretty easy to visualize; 180 degrees becomes 1/2.)
I use Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/) which generates static html pages from templates and your blog posts written in markdown. The advantage of this is that I can put my entire blog in git. Also there is no database needed, which makes hosting much easier.

I generate the static html and then put them inside a docker container to deploy. The host is a bare metal server (not free but cheap) with docker installed.

Both of these blogs use Jekyll + Docker as described above:

Why couldn't Firefox use Tor in the "private mode"? Wouldn't that be the ultimate private mode? It would also greatly help the Tor community, as it would "mainstream Tor" so it wouldn't have as much stigma as it does today.
Yes, the pesky economy preventing good wages. The "economy" is not a magic thing that can be turned better or worse at will. It is a complex machine driven by feedback and some basic rules. Jobs for less skilled are not plentiful anywhere any more because automation and that's the problem. Work goes away. People drink themselves silly and get a ton of children in trailer parks because it is possible. You no longer need to work 12 hours a day so you do not die. It's not nice, it's not easy but it is possible. I do not have a solution but if we are to solve this, we have to look at the fundamental problem rather than complain about the "economy".
Firejail can be invoked and configured by normal unprivileged users. Apparmor requires root for creating and installing new profiles.
I wonder if this will ever change now. As technology goes forward, we're creating a world in which an individual can gain more and more destructive power, and in which when something goes terribly wrong, it can wider and wider consequences. We're at global level now, and fast approaching extinction-level.

Two areas to highlight the point:

- High-energy anything. There's a saying that any propulsion system that could allow us to travel between planets in a reasonable (for human) timespan is also a weapon of mass destruction. And it's not just space travel - history of technology in general is about getting, storing and making use of bigger and bigger quantities of energy.

- Self-replicating system. The best-known example of these is also known as "biology". Something we're only beginning to play with on a serious level. Mishaps, or worse - deliberate malicious actors by crazy individuals - could have planet-wide consequences as our ability to manipulate biological nanomachines grows.

Honestly, the biggest thing that hurts Mozilla's market share right now is the pre-loading of Chrome on Android devices. Mozilla should hope that the EU takes some kind of action against Google over this, so at least Google shouldn't consider it a "hostile action" when a random OEM wants to put Firefox on its devices rather than Chrome.

I would say the same applies to iOS, but to a smaller degree. Also, I'm not sure if Microsoft still respects the browser option thing in Europe with Windows 10 anymore.

That said, the pre-loading of Chrome may be the biggest problem right now, but Firefox's reputation has also degraded in many users' eyes, so they need to keep doing stuff that truly sets them apart compared to Chrome, and it's also not easy for Chrome to replicate because it would be counter to Google's incentives (like the privacy stuff).

QUOTE OF THE DAY – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Actually, even IE10 has a fairly usable flexbox implementation, it's just based on a draft spec, so the property names and values are a bit weird.

Just avoid the old webkit draft (the only reason you'd consider it these days is for old <4.4 android phones) if you're working toward backwards compatibility, it's not worth the pain.

Just a reminder that seccomp is available to all the applications, and if you include it in the app itself, you can limit the privileges much better than firejail can. For example apps don't usually need to read config, or don't need to open new listening sockets once their initialised. This can be easily done in the app, but not by firejail.

I'm quite disappointed projects don't integrate that functionality upstream. The only popular one I know of is chrome.
>HOWEVER: What's stopping the car companies from simply running it themselves and cutting out uber as the middleman?

Ignoring tesla for a minute:

1) Engineering prowess. User-facing software in cars is notoriously poor, and the idea that the same people that greenlit the nissan cube can deploy and scale an uber rival seems generous to say the least.

2) Exclusivity/overcrowdedness. Uber and lyft don't have strong opinions about brand of car (though the prius is the default, and they care about newness). This is likely not true of more traditional car companies. This leads to one of two scenarios: in the first, companies try to limit their ride hailing to on-brand cars, meaning you can only hail fords with ford-uber, etc, requiring that users have multiple apps and pit them against each other. This seems silly. In the second, they allow others brands to be hailed as well, and then you've got mostly identical ride hailing apps, each from a different car company, and the car companies are now competing on experiential nuances that aren't even centered around their vehicle offerings. That's nutty too.

This wasn't my thought going in, but having written all that, tesla seems like a much better buy all of the sudden, because it's the only player that feels like it has the software skills to solve 1, and the apple-esque brand clout to solve 2.
>> The technology is certainly there for the eventual creation of an AI version of House

"The technology" has "certainly been there" since at least 1970, with software like MYCIN:

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

MYCIN was an early expert system that used artificial intelligence to identify bacteria causing severe infections, such as bacteremia and meningitis, and to recommend antibiotics

It and its ilk (expert systems, with hand-crafted rules) (it was the '70s) where commonly shown to outperform experts:

MYCIN was never actually used in practice but research indicated that it proposed an acceptable therapy in about 69% of cases, which was better than the performance of infectious disease experts who were judged using the same criteria.

Yet, we still don't have (flying cars) AI that can help doctors make better diagnoses- and note I'm by no means advocating replacing the experts with AI. That would open a whole other can of worms (what do you train your AI on when there's no more experts, because you replaced them all with AI?).

But- just having the tech doesn't auto-solve your problems as if by magic. You gotta beat dumb politics first.
> What's stopping the car companies from simply running it themselves and cutting out uber as the middleman?

The exact same thing that's stopping them from competing with Uber right now?

Self-driving has nothing to do with the equation.
Schneier actually recommends writing down passwords

https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/06/write_down_yo...
Counter argument: some of the most used software systems in history have names that have almost 0 connection to what they're doing (unless you're willing to go through contortions to figure out their name, see recursive acronyms).

Chrome - web browser?

C - programming language? (actually almost all programming languages suffer from this problem; most libraries or frameworks have this problem as well)

Skype - video/audio chat?

Firefox - web browser?

Excel - spreadsheets?

Spring - Java framework?

Etc.

For all the discussions about naming I see on Hackernews, I see little evidence that naming actually matters when selecting a product. The only correlation I'd expect would be some sort of immediate negative connotation. I.e. someone names a video editing app something like "Disaster".

What do you mean by typical stream ciphers? AFAIK the most common stream ciphers are A5/1 (and A5/2) used in GSM, Snow3G used in 3G and LTE, E0 used in Bluetooth and RC4 for WPA in Wifi.

Of these A5/1 generates bursts of 114 bits, E0 generates two bits at a time, Snow3G generates 32-bit words and RC4 generates bytes.

Implementing A5/1 in SW is not easy, but Snow3G can be efficiently implemented in SW. For RC4 there are many high performance implementations in SW.

I though agree that A5/1, E0 and Snow3G are designed to be efficiently implemented in HW.

Besides these algorithms block ciphers in stream cipher modes (esp CTR) are used a lot. KASUMI in 3G, LTE and AES in IEEE 802.15.4 (CCM mode) and WPA2 for example.

The article asserts many things about the city.

I don't bring my Mum to Barcelona by a few reasons, and one of them is that she could be unable to cross most roads, as a pedestrian, on time for the traffic light.

Of course that's one of the smallest problems, delinquency being the main one (attracted more in this months by the tourism).

Also people is uncivil with old persons here, the locals and the tourists.

Walking on bike in the sidewalk thinking you have preference over pedestrians also is common here. I've see many fights start by this.

The traffic? for me it's all day car horns. Without any good reason. Always just for the sake of the mass hysteria.

Stressed drivers pushing pedestrians to finish the cross. The same when walking, people push you for the space, even if they are just slow walking and doing shopping and you go clearly to work.

All those theories about traffic are nice. The article tries to make it even more nice asserting stuff.

I don't want my childs to grow up in barcelona, and I don't want my mum to live alone in this city like she can do in others.

I have attended and helped enough persons who had been stolen, kicked, violated, run overs, and what not in just two years.

I cannot take a single beer, without watch traffic problems in Barcelona. And I'm talking of a two channels street, where the main traffic mass, can vary from 5 to 9 cars in the same direction.

Oh you are the owner of this car? a bus just did break all the side of your car, he did go away without stopping. Take man, I did a photo, you can see the car number. This was yesterday.

Traffic is better than Madrid. But still is a "bad thing" for the quality of life of the city. Also in barcelona you need air conditioner, or sleep with the windows open... this is... all night long and in the main hours, old, big, vibrating and poorly driven trucks and buses all around. stopping with squeaky brakes, in each of those corners, and starting again with the engine noise that could not pass a decibel measurement by police.

It mixes with the drunken people and nightly prostitution noise... so at the end, the harley/truck/whatever is just one more noise in the Barcelona's non-stopping symphony.

Squared streets and all that, bike accidents are common here, bike Vs pedestrian problems too. Old people and children cannot walk alone even in relaxed areas. And the traffic (for me that don't own vehicles) and the air pollution is one of the worse things when I try to "live" here.

We've got DRM on batteries (Renault's electric vehicles) requiring a renewal with unknown terms and conditions.

What's to stop vehicle manufacturers from slapping on a Personal-Use Terms of Service to their vehicles which prohibits the Commercial Use (under different ToS), or Restricted Commercial Use Policy which prevents self-driving passenger rides outside their approved apps? They would be able to enforce it by remotely disabling the battery when such practices are found (Renault can do that already).

There is no such thing as "unnecessary" lock-in, it's just how the service is. Take it or leave it. Just because you think it's unnecessary doesn't change how that service is offered. And so what if there is work to do? Again, that is what "lock-in" is by definition = the work involved to move away.

You weigh the risks and see if the potential work (that might not ever need to be done) is worth the benefits offered today by that service. That's what an informed business does.
I don't know what's natural, but I live in Finland where we use the metric / SI system extensively. Some people don't even know how long an inch is, let alone a foot.

Recently I was building a roof with an old, very experienced builder. Turns out that on construction sites, nails and planks are always discussed in inches, even when they're actually metric. So a 60mm nail would be "a two point fiver" ("kakspuokki" or such in Finnish).
How Changing Your Relationship with Email Can Make You More Happier

Does anyone actually have data showing that frequent password changes lead to better security?

Because to me requiring frequent password change seems like the ultimate non-technical management blunder: management wants to say they did something to prevent hacks, so they ask IT to require password changes; IT doesn't want to be blamed so they implement it; users comply with the requirements but can't remember their new password (and don't really care about the company's security in the first place), so they come up with something insecure and keep it somewhere even less secure.
I just got back from Barcelona, and was surprised by the level of air pollution. The smog never disappears, even after a heavy rain. I learned that Barcelona has never met EU minimum air quality standards since they were established 22 years ago. And all cars and trucks run on diesel. If I were planning their transportation future, I'd be looking to be the earliest adopter of electric transport in Europe. Super blocks appeal to me, but they don't address the air quality issue directly enough to really excite me.
Gradians are absolutely terrible. For everyday use, radians are also pretty impractical. I personally like just writing fractions of a full turn, but degrees/minutes/seconds aren’t too bad.

There are two cases where linear divisions of arclength-measured angles make sense: (1) the angles to make regular polygons of low numbers of sides, (2) repeated binary divisions, whose cartesian coordinates can be computed easily because we can just add two vectors and renormalize using an inverse square root which we know how to efficiently compute, and which are then nice for fixed point representations using binary integers in computers. For the first case, I think rational fractions of a turn work best; for the second case, I like binary angles (“brads”) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_scaling#Binary_angles ; losing the ability to precisely represent a thirds of a full turn is just one of those trade offs you sometimes need to make.

Otherwise, treating angle as a linear quantity with precise measurements (instead of some kind of approximations) is for most problems less useful than just using a cartesian coordinate representation for an angle (possibly keeping track of the coordinates squared if we want to stick to rational arithmetic.)

Radians are only really useful for solving calculus problems by hand, or writing academic math/science papers where it’s important to stick to established conventions. For practical computation radians are almost always an inferior choice, more computationally expensive and less precise (they’re built into lots of existing libraries, so can often be convenient despite the inefficiency).
Judging by the number of car hacks through OBD-II lately, it sure sounds like a great idea to connect an always on, internet connected android phone with some dubious software to the OBD interface of your car!
Speed for starters (Tor is an order of magnitude slower) and many things, like advanced JavaScript (websockets for example), flash and Java, simply can't traverse it reliably. Also it's not what people expect. Many people expect private mode to make it so their active session's browsing doesn't effect their browsing history or they tracked history, not to anonymize them entirely.
I respectfully claim that statement is wrong. Some of the most commonly used stream ciphers, A5/1, E0, Snow3G are explicitly designed to be efficiently implemented in HW.

Further, if you look at the eSTREAM you have the profile two algorithms that can be very efficiently be implemented in HW. And to be honest, the profile one algoritms can also be efficiently implemented in HW. I have implemented them all in HW and get good performance.

The stream cipher HC-128/256 for example is very fast in SW. But in HW I can parallelize the state read and updates in ways you can't do in SW due to lack of multiple read and write ports. Doing this you get multiple Gbps performance in HW even with low clock frequency.

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

If you look at the stream cipher RC4, it was not designed for HW implementation. But in HW I can implement RC to do three reads and two updates in parallel and reach 1 cycle/byte. In a low cost FPGA I reach 500 Mbps performance, which is pretty ok. Not that I'm promoting the use of RC4. My implementation was just an experiment to see if it was possible to do such a parallel implementation. Oh, and it is not debugged so don't use it anyway. ;-)

A similar transformation has been done in Eastern Germany since the wall came down. The GDR was heavily dependent on brown coal for its energy production, devastating large areas of countryside in northern Saxony (south of Berlin) with open pit mines. Today these pit mines are flooded and have been turned into lakes. The difference when traveling though this area in the mid-90's couldn't be greater. Huge deep dirt holes with rusting machinery have been replaced with blue lakes with white sailing yachts amidst green forest and heathlands.

In case others find it interesting, I tried to look around for any relationship between linuxbios/seabios and uefi - and found some references tianocore and edk/edk II:

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK_II...

Looks like seabios is (mostly) happy being a bios (with possible plans to be packaged as an "csm application" (I'm guessing that means being loaded from efi)). But, s far as I can tell, for a free/open uefi toolkit, tianocore is the project to look at.

I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't easily find a ready-to-run uefi space invader or tetris clone... ;)

[ed: eh, I see tfa links to tianocore's ovmf code for vms... Oh, well... ]

In Sweden, when running wiring we'll refer to the dimensions by monikers like "one and half squared", "six squared" and so on, corresponding to "1.5mm^2" etc. It has never felt very bulky to me, and doesn't seem like more effort than saying 14-gauge (or at least close enough).

Agree on having ChaCha20-Poly1305 in the benchmarks would be good. RFC 7539 has been publshed and there are already several applications using this combination (as has been mentioned).

Any winning algorithm(s) from Ceasar will compete with ChaCha20-Poly1305 and should be chosen to provide some clear advantage. Better performance, agilty, scalability, security including side-channel leakage and other attacks on implementations for example.

Really looking forward to see the round three announcement.

I like tkdiff and I am wondering why Eskil is not a series of patch on top of tkdiff instead of a different program. In fact, http://wiki.tcl.tk/3773 says:

Eskil is an updated version of tkdiff (still pure tcl) that includes:

I highly recommend eskil over tkdiff. tjk

I must be lacking some context, so why not have a single program? Is Eskil that program and tkdiff obsolete?
I actually did this a lot when I was designing electric motors. One detail the original article didn't note, is the 39th root of 92 is very close to the 6th root of 2, off by half a percent. This makes scaling for voltage changes simple. Going from US 120V to European 240V? Go up three wire gauges and double the number of turn.

In practice, it was not quite that simple, because of the half percent error, and wire insulation doesn't follow the same scaling pattern, but it was still quite handy, and much less trouble than metric, where you constantly had to dig out the wire gauge chart.
