> Passwords, generated by Forgiva are offered with 16 characters minimum (you can go up to 32 characters by default) of length and 70 bits of entropy guaranteed on normal complexity level. And it is called on strong level for financial institutions and military grade applications.

> Thus it is not expected for any site to deny Forgiva generated passwords.

This seems naive, at best. If you can't store an eight character alphanumeric password, you're not usefully managing passwords.
They definitely had not given up hope on the mobile phone business when they chose Windows Phone. At the time they were still one of the largest phone manufacturers and would have probably stayed relevant to this day if they had chosen Android.

Microsoft told them all sorts of bulls*hit about how Windows Phone was as good as Android or at least was going to be by the next version. They thought it was plausible that together with MS they could break the Apple-Google duopoly, and since MS gave a massively sweeter OEM deal than Google, WP it was. Note that the board fully supported Elops actions at this point, it was not a backroom deal.

Once Nokia engineers got to actually working with WP they found out it was technically in far worse shape than MS had led them believe, but at that point it was too late to backpedal to Android.

It took almost half a decade and four huge upgrades (WP 7.5, WP 8, WP 8.1 and W10) before WP became somewhat competitive to Android, but that was much longer than what Nokia could reason financially, so the best option left was to ditch the sunken phone business to the highest bidder. Microsoft was luckily still believing they could break the duopoly so Nokia again got a pretty sweet deal from them.
Totally. Brocoli and Brunch are a bit better, but they all have the same fundamental problem: they require you to write plugins for things. The plugin model doesn't work here because writing plugins is so difficult, and you don't want to write this crap: you just want your project to build. In addition, all of the things you want to use in a build process expose a perfectly good shell interface, which probably streams, and doesn't require anybody to write hundred-line projects to integrate into the build system. Which just begs the question: Why aren't we using shell, and make, or npm run?
Agree people blindly upvote ml topic.
That explain why there is never a c++ or java programming topics on top news.
Another reason may be that this is a pure "resource" post that doesn't make an argument or represents personal opinions that people could easily comment on. It's not a good basis to start a discussion, unlike many other HN posts.

However, I'd appreciate more comments of course ;)
Why is that last line a problem at all?
I think that's a clever solution short term, but long term the incentives would align to give rise to slums and ghettos.

If there are millions willing to enter the country and be granted a free income, then anyone with some capital has a guaranteed payday in hastily putting up the cheapest livable accommodations and renting it to these people.

It's not so much stopping thoughts, as it is to be able to guide your focus at will, as you said. In the end your mind isn't so much blank as hyper-aware of itself without the normal push-pull of thoughts that you described in your earlier comment. Best way I can describe it is as a place where your higher mind is at rest and your instinctive/subconscious mind is fully active.

The mystical philosophies around meditation describe it with all sorts of features and properties, but I'll skip getting into that here. I'll just mention martial arts in particular. They practice relentlessly so that the actions are instinctive, then they use meditation so that higher-brain noise doesn't get in the way of that hyper-awareness and instinctive action.

That's me. How often I've been wide awake at night because I couldn't stop thinking about my side projects.

I never have time for them, so the only moment my mind can explore some ideas is when I'm in bed.

Today's Sunday, I'll try and sit on the couch alone doing nothing for an hour and see where my mind wanders.
Fair enough :-)

I missed the part, though, where there was some "learning"/"adjusted predication" in the interpolation function(s), rather than just a fixed calculation such as a literal linear interpolation.

I was happy just to be able to tease apart the big equation before the the python code sample, but was too lazy to drill down into what the "delta-x"/"delta-y" factor-functions were.

Still, this was a good presentation: somebody with little to no knowledge of the field, but some math, could get the gist of it. Kudos to the author.
I'm 37 and work part time from home. I used to work a lot of hours in a CTO and CEO role, making more money, but opted for a smaller salary and having more free time in my life. I'm very happy right now. edit: I should note, I have 2 kids and treat myself to a lot of luxury, so I barely scrape by month to month. I'm fine with that. Carpe Diem.
Taken a little too far. Nest products (owned by Alphabet) support Amazon Echo. (Or is Alexa now?)
Yes, they were pretty asleep, yet MeeGo was quite nice, even Engadget, traditionally hostile to Symbian, was impressed with N9, and Elop did everything he could to kill it (couldn't be sold in the US/UK/Germany etc.), and it still managed to outsold first Lumias.

I'm more inclined to think that we just have divergent activities more than we are in a new era. Introverts are authoring and consuming online content, so while there are more options for what to do with time on your own, there is also a bit of an echo chamber because of that. But unplug, and go out and start doing activities with groups of people, and that type of activity is as strong as it ever was.

Control has nothing to do with it. We're just increasing variety.

I live in Portland and I'm going through the planning process for an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) over my existing garage in my backyard.

I believe the Portland ADU maximums are around 800sqft for the structure, so if you're adding a level above your (20'x20') garage, the upper residential level will be around 400sqft. A 400sqft footprint is certainly not unheard of for an apartment, but for a standalone residential structure that includes all the mechanical systems is relatively small. The tiny house community does seem to be designing for much smaller (150-200sqft?) sized spaces.

Land-use wise, I agree that this housing is needed in Portland and other metros with similar housing stock. Everyone wants to add housing, but no one wants to tear down charming Victorians/Craftsman Bungalow blocks to make way for more density / apartment buildings. As a result encouraging people to add residential units in backyards and basements makes a ton of sense.

One thing that wasn't obvious in the article is that the city is simply waiving the development fees for ADUs to encourage their construction. Previously, one could have built the same backyard structures, but would have had to pay ~$20K+ in development fees.
I occasionally catch moments in which no outside noises are present and I'm not thinking of anything at all. Very rare, but possible (also immediately spoiled by making note of it).

Where did you get the two decades? Before IPhone came 10 years ago and changed the game from hardware to software plus ecosystem Nokia's phones were in the top category - no, sorry, they were in all of the categories since there were so many of them.

Even after IPhone Nokia had years of great market position.

Technology wise mediocre? Thats.. not really the general perception.

Perhaps the fact that Nokia tanked as fast as it did creates a shadow over the history before this.
Spirit and Allegiant are probably the closest US equivalents. Totally no frills, and you pay for everything including hand luggage and water.
Taken to the absurd extreme, you end up with a country where the amount going to social assistance equals the amount of spending within the country, and a tax rate of 100%. So, uh, communism.
> Git is, like many professional tools, something you simply got to learn.

No. Why do people think "professional" has to mean "poorly designed"?

But then, the rest of your post seems to miss the point of this thing entirely. You go on to say that you basically only need 10 commands...which is pretty much the insight that lead to Gitless in the first place.
Brain scans are not as accurate as one might think. Most or all methods merely show activation of neurons or groups of neurons over a timescale.

Typically you give a person, say a memory task, you look at which areas fire up as he tries to memorise a word list and from that you extrapolate whatever you can from it.
I also believe working memory and short term memory are to some extent better understood than long term memory. actually the least known process regarding memory I think is how memories pass from working memory or short term memory into long term memory.
No idea what this would mean. Would it not be better to discuss monthly-in-the-bank?

And leave equity, benefits and perks completely out of the discussion?

I guess you raise a good point since it is only a "resource" post. My comment was geared toward all ML related posts in general.

I do research in ML so I love seeing these posts, but the fact that words like neural networks has become such a buzzword is somewhat disappointing. I remember all the buzz when Swiftkey released their "neural network" keyboard simply because of the name.
Oh, I think I misunderstood. My goto introduction is Database Systems: The Complete Book by Hector Garcia-Molina, Jeff Ullman, and Jennifer Widom. The first edition can often picked up online in used but reasonable condition for very little money.

On the other hand, another way to approach storage is from the bottom up using file systems. My understanding is that this (files on disk) is what Hacker News has traditionally used. There are 'state of the art' systems that use this approach, notably Hadoop and the Hadoop Distributed File System [HDFS].

That brings me to my last point which is 'skating to where the puck is going' and by that I mean that much of what matters in data storage today are more related to distributed systems and less related to how data is stored on disk because storage of files on disk is best treated as a solved problem in almost every case. Partly because getting block level storage correct is hard and partly because storage is cheap and fast relative to engineering for high efficiency.

Lastly, my direct advice is to that the best 'Hello World' for running Database Management Systems [DBMS] is to install and run several DBMS's. On Linux, this it is highly practical to run production quality systems on a laptop even for a hobbyist. And that reminds me that running Linux is probably a valuable first step if it is not your current operating system because Linux is the most common operating system for running DBMS's in production and competency in 'the next layer down' is going to be useful.
Yeah, aside from: Developers in that part of the world often work for less than the federal minimum wage of the United States and you'd want to exploit them for profit.
The triangles are curved. https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1105/1105.3794.pdf says:

> The surface of each panel unit has been adjusted to the spherical surface of radius 318.5m other than the overall 300m radius of the main reflector, which will make it better fit to a paraboloid.

They are also under dynamic control, through cables connected to the triangles (see figure 6 from that paper). Quoting http://earthsky.org/todays-image/china-five-hundred-meter-ap... :

> Unlike Arecibo, which has a fixed spherical curvature, FAST will use active optics. Its surface will adjust in different directions with more flexibility than the surface of Arecibo. That means it’ll cover the sky within 40° from the zenith, or overhead point, in contrast to Arecibo’s 20° range.

Quoting http://www.caltechmicrowave.org/fast-telescope

> It will use an active surface that adjusts to create parabolas in different directions, with an effective dish size of 300 m. This means that it will not be confined to pointing directly upwards, but capable of covering the sky within 40 degrees from the zenith. Its working frequency will be 0.3 to 3.0 GHz, with a pointing precision of 4 arcseconds.

Where are the DoJ antitrust people when you need them? This is called an "exclusive dealing arrangement". That's legally questionable but some forms are legal.[1] The FTC has defined a "safety zone" - it's OK to do this if you have less than 20% market share or there are at least four competing technologies on the market. Google probably has too much market share for that.

Sorry, it should have ready "yes, but it is only rewiring for you".

Google customizes its results based on the user and/or what it thinks that user wants to see based on their previous searches. This includes the user's previous searches, their location, the type of device, and other demographical information that Google may know about that user.

While the exact algorithm is a secret, you would most likely have to do millions of searches before it would greatly impact the results for other users.

That must be a relatively recent change, then - several years ago I think everyone did care quite as much, there just were more vulnerabilities. I'm not insinuating this is because of anyone not caring. :-) It was just a fact that there were a bunch of CVEs.

University these days is gross in certain places, especially in anything related to IT - Computer Science, Engineering, Electric Engineering, etc.

There's a stupidly heavy emphasis on group work, with the superficial justification that "it's how the real world works", discounting that, in the real world, if you're in a team but don't actually do the work, you're going to get screwed.

It seems to me, though, that teachers are mostly pushed to do that because it's being done everywhere else, and because IT students have a reputation for being antisocial, so they need to be pushed to work together, in real life, if possible.

It's an entirely wrong approach to the problem.

I've migrated last week 500M documents (100GB) of data from mongodb to ES. It's quite simple and straightforward. Used the bulk API. Just make sure to have a good machine (16vCPU) and use parallelization and just wait. after 24hours, it just works.
From my experience Elasticsearch is far from trivial to configure right. At least compared to PostgreSQL.
Regarding your second point, posts about C++ or Java seem to be lacking simply because the languages evolve over a multi year phase. I do remember seeing posts about C++17 on HN and there being discussion about it. People will occasionally post libraries they made in that language. I don't do a lot of Java development, but I am interested in C++ and if you are too I would check out r/cpp if you haven't. Many of the posters are people doing a lot of work on C++ - compiler developers, people working on the standard, etc.
Among other options, Electric Cloud, now Electric Accelerator, is a product I tried about, oh, ten years ago. Looks like they're still around.
That's basically it. The Gamecube and Wii's architectures are fairly close to the PC's. Besides that, I'm biased, since I'm a Dolphin developer, but I think our community is fairly welcoming to new developers. Good CI infrastructure, pretty good bug management squad, knowledgeable, friendly team, etc.

I encourage you to contribute if you want to!
I do love the quirky sense of humor though:

"In a typical build system, the dependency arrows go down. Although this is the way they would naturally go due to gravity, it is unfortunately also where the enemy's gate is. This makes it very inefficient and unfriendly. In tup, the arrows go up. This is obviously true because it rhymes."

I don't discount that being female may indeed make it more difficult to be taken seriously, but as another commenter pointed out, the vast majority of people have no idea whose comment they're reading/replying to (insert joke here about nobody knowing you're a dog on the Internet).

In my experience most male forum members have exactly the same experience. It is simply very difficult to be taken seriously, to have people invest the time to read and honestly consider your ideas, and just to get visibility at all, regardless of gender!

I appreciate you're actually taking the initiative to propose concrete actions to make our community more inclusive.
However, your writing reeks of egotism. This is not a gendered thing. I and many others simply can't take seriously anyone who writes, "If you actually want real change, you could start by paying more attention to the things I suggest, acting on them and promoting my writing. But I imagine that won't happen at all."

According to Pfaff, It's mostly the middle (how aggressive --- and also how poorly allocated --- prosecutors are), and very little the latter (although sentences are clearly too long).

If we're comparing the US criminal justice system to other countries, another more fundamental problem we have is that we simply have more crime. Not "people are getting busted for weed" crime, but property crimes and violent crimes. That fact implicates a much broader spectrum of public policy critiques about the US than how we manage the criminal justice system.

There's a factual error in the article. Birgitta Jónsdóttir is an influential member and won the primary for the capital region (3 districts ran a collaborative primary). She is not a leader of the movement. We aim for as flat a structure as possible. The grassroots are in theory more powerful than our elected representatives. If we are in the position of leading a coalition for government we will see a true test of that principle.

The overwhelming majority of prisons are not run for profit, their staffing is a drain on public resources, and they're generally underfunded given their inmate population.

There are privately run prisons in the US, but they do not define the system. Incarceration is expensive --- so expensive that criminal justice reform is starting to become a bipartisan issue at the federal level.
The headline is slightly misleading, I too thought they paid for news fed to Western media at home. According to the article the fake news was used to gather intelligence and for local propaganda, not to mislead the people at home. To me it seems like a legitimate project.

1) Most families have more than one child.

2) Lots of young adults are going to chase the best opportunities in their fields, which are not accessible from the towns they grow up in.

3) Even only children don't get to inherit the house until parents die or move to a retirement facility. This is moving later and later into middle age, well after the "I want a house and marriage and kids" stage.

I don't think inheriting housing is a solution.

If you don't know something and you show your ignorance in this way, then you lose face massively.

> Why not simply build larger individual units, but stack many of them vertically?

Certainly there is new development of high-rise apartment buildings and condos. But those remain out of reach for many people because the developers decided to add a dog spa or a quinoa bar or whatever in order to have an excuse to jack up the prices by 50%.

Even cities that are allowing new development are largely missing simple, no-bullshit housing for people whose incomes are above the poverty line but below six figures.
They did make beautiful hardware though - at a time where everything that wasn't an iPhone was plastic garbage (with the exception of HTC which for some reason was largely ignored in comparison to Samsung).

As someone who had a Nexus One, S and Galaxy Nexus I really wanted an android phone with really nice hardware (Nokia N9 plus android would have been amazing), but after the Microsoft partnership and the iPhone 5 having turn by turn navigation I bailed.

Even today there aren't a lot of nice hardware options on the android side of things.
