Well this is the comment that gets enough points to restore the balance stripped after I railed against technical inadequacies elsewhere?

What the fuck has sexist bitching got to do with hacking? The points system on this site is a joke. 29 points? That comment does not in any way deserve 29 fucking points.
> The parent would decide that in early days of Higgs' career, he wasn't productive enough, and thus he would prevent him making the discovery for which he is famous.

You are stretching the meaning of my comment. Did you know that he published three papers in the three years before getting hired in Edinburgh in 1960? I only pointed out that (on any 'time horizon') his scientific productivity after 1964 was basically non-existent.

In fact I agree on some level with a lot of the comments here, including yours. I just think that Peter Higgs is not the right example to justify the cause.

> and unless we collectively realize that we can just lay back and don't need to actually compete, it won't get any better.

And therefore, sadly, it won't.
She was trespassing as she covered the news. She would've been fine if she hadn't stepped over the fence line. Look I get it freedom of the press is paramount to our democracy but you don't have the right to trespass covering a story. If that was the case think of all the trouble the paparazzi could give celebrities.
> Mao starved millions of people while genuinely trying to help them.

It's of course impossible to truly know another's motivations, but I don't agree that this was true of Mao.

For my part, I don't believe that the "only real measurement" is purity of motivation. But I do believe that when policies are created under the disingenuous guise of kindness (as I suspect the ones from this article are) they ultimately do more harm than good.

Anyway, thank you for at least remaining polite.
What I find the neatest is that it's not just showing hexadecimals, but the binary representation at the same time. In the Birkana symbol for 9 it's very easy to recognize the binary 1001: it has the top and bottom 'bits' set.

It also made me aware that I never thought about the symbols we use for numbers. Our digits 0 through 9 suddenly seem very arbitrary, looking at Birkana. Though ten digits are more difficult than sixteen to represent this way, they could certainly have had logic in them.
Well, when those small functions are a series of other functions it can hinder "reasonability" just as easily as help it.

There's no one right way to do it, really. My objection is mainly toward a zealous adherence to some subjective principle here.
Simple, add a variable pitch propeller. There are people that did it.
Casual observation suggests that the quoted part is a list of significant outtakes from the article, with the comma separator left intact between items.,It should be replaced by whitespace to make it more convincing.
I have to wonder what sort of technical measures could be implemented to make biometric systems as legally secure as passwords while still retaining something like the same convenience.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is the Apple patent on recognizing a fingerprint anywhere on the phone's surface, and using that in combination with Android-style lock screen patterns. A lock screen pattern isn't nearly as secure as a full password, but it could serve a similar legal role.
Microsoft might have been part of it, but check out http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html.

They waited 3 years before a new release. In internet terms, it's like 21 years between any new features.

During that time, IE was (IMO) the best browser objectively, in almost every sense of the word. They didn't change the APIs per se to break Netscape, they started giving features that Netscape didn't offer because users wanted them.
Only if you wanted to use the automated Let's Encrypt certificate feature in Caddy.
> Also being a functional language it is easy to crank out features in an afterthought.

I am a big fan of functional languages, but I don't take for granted that they allow us to crank out any additional feature easily. The ease of adding of undo/redo functionality is a common selling point, but it seems to fall out directly from a preference for immutable data.
Yep. I got into a little argument with my brother over this last week, as he is a "I don't care, I have nothing to hide."
Shhh! Don't give my strategy away!
I was not trying to intrap you in anything. I am no too familiar with American culture hence my question.

Please don't assume that people attack you when asking questions.
The trouble is that we live in an increasingly interconnected world, and more and more of our actions impact other people - the more contact we have, the more rules there's going to need to be. So "regulatory inflation" is not necessarily a bad thing.

But I don't think any one on the left or right would argue that regulations couldn't be improved almost everywhere. What I think the left worries about is that the only regulations that ever seem to be removed are the ones that stop powerful organizations from causing negative externalities.

To put it another way: would football be better with less or more rules? The answer can't be anything but "it depends".
Every one of those rules is there for some reason, sometimes a very non-obvious reason, and sometimes to stop some rare but serious injury from happening. The "more or less" question isn't one that someone with a shallow understanding of the sport can have a reasonable opinion on.

It takes a wise and historically-informed team of people to remove regulatory clutter without allowing the problem that the regulations were originally meant to address to re-occur (if, of course, it actually addressed it). My point is that it shouldn't be a left vs. right thing, it should be a question of who has the wisdom to fix problems thing. And just as importantly, it should be made from an empirical basis, not an ideological one. Trump strikes me as an ideologue, but I have to admit I haven't paid much attention to this US election.
GCC and CPython are great illustrations of what Im talking about. Others are good. Also, Oberon System base with kernel, files, editor, viewer, etc is around 116KB per Wirth's paper on FPGA implementation.

So, you get a whole OS with some utilities in between 1/3 and 1/2 of SystemD binary. Also worth noting Oberon includes safety checks, too. ;)
Almost. I built Indie Shuffle on the side, so it applies for business #1 :)

I think building a business is always going to take a lot of focused effort. That said, I also think that getting an early start -- doing it on the side -- is a much smarter idea than quitting everything you have and launching into it head on.
True. They are blocking Linode ip ranges.
That's true only if stock market data is completely random and that there's no signal to predict on. That doesn't seem to be the case, considering hedge funds successfully use ML on historical data to capture alpha. You don't need a model to work forever to be successful.
So you'd rather have it be that no one has access to these free educational lectures/videos than that a small minority (<20%) can't use them? That's pretty much the perfect example of cutting of your nose to spite your face.

If these laws go through, Harvard and MIT should just set up a small subsidiary in another country and upload the videos through those. Problem solved.
Kudos! I get really excited when I learn about people working hard at creative and useful things like this. I also think it's important to note that, while this is surely no small feat, it sounds like this is the fruition of the author's accumulated experiences, network, and reputation "[over] the course of my ~7 years running a blog", and probably even longer with a strong passion for music and the people in music.

This comment is not to downplay the author's accomplishments--I think keeping to something for even 5 years is ridiculously hard, and that should be commended, especially if it resulted in something that people find valuable. Rather, I hope that people reading this won't lose hope when, 10 months into their own businesses, they don't see the same levels of popularity or financial success. This project seems to be the tip of an iceberg. I think luck is also a strong component, but it definitely favors the prepared.
I don't know about this Adams statement (please add a link, I'd read it) but Trump "motivating" his supporters to "coordinate and commit terror attacks on Muslim-looking people"?

I get it that you dislike Trump (fine by me) but how on earth did you convince yourself to believe something like that. (I have no doubt you do, you could probably pass a lie detector test without a problem repeating this statement)

The Saffa Method Binary Honest Review
It's really interesting to interact with problems that don't ever come up in the day job, I'm only part way through set 2 but this has taught me a huge amount already.

> People "know" this already, but they don't really know it in their gut, and we think the reason for that is that very few people actually know how to implement the best-known attacks.

I agree with them when they say it's important to teach implementations alongside theory. Despite knowing some theory behind cryptography seeing implementations come together is still an eye-opener. I guess it's like the difference between knowing orbital mechanics which is basically high school math and then playing kerbal space program and crashing rockets because while you could derive the functions every time it still takes some practical feel before things "click".

Only in this case you also get to break it all down again which is another level of satisfaction.

Fun fact: you can count to hexadecimal on the fingers of one hand.

The way it works is that each of your four fingers has four well-defined places on them: the three joints, plus the tip. You use your thumb to point at one of these. The first finger represents 1-4, the second 5-8, the third 9-12, the fourth 13-16. You count up and down by moving your thumb.

Also, because you use the thumb of the same hand for pointing, you can count two different hexadecimal numbers if you use both hands --- which means you can count to 256.

(I don't know anybody limber enough to do this with their toes.)

As a special bonus: if you point to the fleshy pads of the fingers instead of the joints, you can use the same system for base 12.

That's fair, but I think the article's point is, too. It's really easy to make perfect and proper the enemy of incremental improvement and shipping product. The "right" solution requires X that's always three months off. Discussions derailed by someone's need to describe the "right" solution that they know doesn't apply to this situation, but it's the cool thing on the internet and we "should" do it. There's value in framing a discussion.
You raise a good point in your last paragraph. When you said "If you were familiar with Molyneux and his full line of reasoning", it sounded like you were making the argument that you have to get deep into an author before you can judge them.
Nothing. Seriously, JSX works really well as it is. These proposals seem like small enhancements, some of them for the wrong reasons.

> Computed attribute names.

If you need this, you're probably being too clever. If there's a legitimate use for this, I've never seen it in the past 2 years I've been using JSX with React.

> Object short hand notation.

> Drop the need for curlies around attribute values if they're a single literal, or parenthesis.

Is it really that much more work?

> Implicit do expressions.

> Conditionals

> Loops

If you need control statements in your JSX, you're doing it wrong. When you need these things, this is a sign you need to break your code into smaller chunks. Move this logic into separate functions, lambdas or variables and interpolate them in. Now you've labeled your code and made it more composable. This is called self-documenting code and it's a lot easier for others and your future self to read.

All of these wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a proposal to justify breaking changes. I really don't want to have to deal with two versions of JSX that are incompatible. That just sounds like hell.
Where does QUIC sit in between TCP and HTTP2?
On the contrary, I thought this was a strange and irrelevant fact to include in the article. There's no indication that his role at Google had any bearing on the success of the business.

Perhaps if he'd worked on Google Music (or other music related area of the business) or the referenced exposure to "top brass" opened some doors... but it seems unlikely this is the case.

There's certainly correlation between Google employees and successful initiatives... but not much beyond that.

That answer is talking about the sensors used in mechanical mice, not optical mice. (Most mechanical mice did use optoelectronic sensors, but nobody would call the mice "optical" just for that.)
That's conspiracy hogwash. Replace "media" with "the medical community" and it sounds like a snake-oil salesman.

Journalism today is better than it ever was. The bias of quality journalism today is simply a general, tentative consensus that the political and economic system of what you'd collectively call "the west" is working quite well in principle.

I'm not going to look at idiots ranting into their webcams on youtube. Considering how easy it is for something good to "go viral", I'm quite happy to wait until the good stuff gets separated from the 99+% that is idiotic.

I do talk to people, quite a lot actually considering a few volunteer engagements. Many of these people life vastly different lives than I do, from the homeless alcoholic to a guy who just inherited some 9-digit fortune.

I have learned that a drunk lunatic ranting on the subway /is not/ suffering from the pain of his insights into the conspiracy controlling everyone's mind. He's just drunk, and wrong, and annoyingly loud.

When I talk to journalists, they are almost without exception some of the most dedicated, well-educated, interesting and self-reflecting people. They mostly share a core set of believes ("no whiskey before noon", "someone bragging about sexual assault must never be president"), and I'm happy to share these with them, because otherwise they'd have to start every article at first principle.

Regarding that quote: It isn't just something he once said. It's one of his pet theories, and I doubt that a well-adjusted person could even come up with something like that.
FYI: Your link 404s, although the error page contains links to the list of representatives, and there's a zipcode search at the top of the page.

Another reason why someone might pick Caddy over nginx or apache is to get rid of OpenSSL (and forks). Go's TLS stack is generally considered to be one of the better TLS implementations out there. Despite not yet having received the same amount of attention as OpenSSL (which the authors acknowledge), the fact that it's (mostly) written in a safe(r) language and isn't as bloated as OpenSSL (which has many features that are completely irrelevant to the vast majority of TLS servers, but still cause vulnerabilities - see Heartbleed) would make me feel more comfortable with picking crypto/tls over OpenSSL.
Any chance you can link it? For some reason i cannot seem to find it.
I believe so, looking at the other comments it's posted in the hour it's been on the site:

I can go into a little bit. I don't want to totally out myself when I'm still a months away from a product that I could demonstrate.

Bottom line is that the online experimentation tools for large swaths of psychological research (questionnaires mainly but also cognitive tasks) aren't well handled by the big current players in that market. We're just not a big enough value proposition. The tools aren't designed for us. We really need for participants be able to just login to the experiment and be taken through the whole process. We need tools to track their participation, send reminder emails, etc that are built in to the experiment rather than cobbled together around it. And what most of us would like is for it to spit out a cohesive dataset at the end, ideally with at least some of the data-cleaning done (and documented) for us. A lot of research is cobbled together from a bunch of different tools that spit out separate chunks of data that need to be painstakingly re-constituted at the end. This may not be true for all academic research, but it is for the research that I'm targeting. So there's a value proposition there with a market of tens of thousands of grant-funded researchers.

In addition, I have access to several local sources of potential data collection (outside of academia) that are extremely appealing to an important subset of the researchers who might use my platform. I'm currently working with three such groups, but if things worked well there, there are hundreds if not thousands of such places in North America and Europe (and elsewhere). So I'd potentially be able to offer researchers not only a fairly comprehensive suite of tools for collecting data, but I'd have a growing network of recruitment sites so researchers could really just design it and click 'go' (and pay me).

This isn't all of it, just the research side. I'm pretty sure that the same set of tools can be used to go after a couple other non-academic markets as well. I've got at least 2 other non-academic revenue opportunities that I think are pretty solid and can be explored in tandem.

Then there are the long-term plans that change everything... (cartoonish evil laugh)
> every scientist to effect change: just publish your results in open journals.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem being discussed.

The problem is the pressure to publish frequently, which leads to low quality science. Many of the nobel laureates had at most two, often zero, papers in graduate school. Now, they might require a graduate student to have seven or eight papers to get out. Some of this is a shift to sharing more data, but a lot of it is just science of minimal value being packaged up and pushed out.

And the drive for this does come from generic metrics, that rely not on scientific understanding, but on the ability to count. The government sometimes prioritizes funding by papers/$ funded for grant, papers/year, etc.
That sounds like a very useful feature for new installations. However, I already have automatic renewal set up with nginx.
Fantastic! I've have to get to work on this.

And I already have two projects I haven't finished...

For those of you who have finished this, I'd reccomend checking out The Synacor Challenge, and The Advent of Code, both the work of the excellent Eric Wastl.

Bonus: I just discovered that we're getting a new Advent of Code this December. So even if you've already done last year's (if you haven't, there's still time!), stretch your fingers, because there's more coming down the pipe.

Public statements made under duress (however weak the duress) or after the political calculus is done are worth their weight in tweets. Any silence -- which has been anything but in Graham's back and forth with Hansson -- is already indelible.

This is really just a lame, Valley-lensed Pascalian wager. Say nothing and maintain a flatline with YC applicants (who care mostly for YC demo day flow) and the notoriously humorless Thiel; say something and enjoy only the satisfaction of having demonstrated (Apple-like) courage of conviction -- while risking whatever havoc Thiel wishes to wreak upon you.
That's the definition "Proper Solution" should have.
This is an excellent article.

The notion of "mode" is explicitly mentioned by Jef Raskin in his book "The Humane Interface" while discussing radio-controlled model aircraft.

It is sobering to see it mentioned here as "mode confusion", in the context of a commercial aircraft which led (directly or indirectly) to the death of 228 people.
