Though not a language, nor a tool: A touch typing course.

Early in my career I noticed programmers around me with 10+ years experience still typing the "preying-mantis" way (thumb+index+middle fingers pecking at the keyboard, head frantically bobbing eye-focus between keyboard and screen).

I thought to myself that if I had the same experience as them and could touch type I would be immensely faster.

I was right. Typing faster = coding faster = learning faster.

I can't possibly be the only one that laments the fact that all smartphones look basically the same after the iPhone took off. Candybar slates with massive screens and questionable batteries and life. No sliders, no flips, nothing new or interesting in hardware. Now, only featureless slabs with barely a physical button in sight, differentiated more by the images they display on screen and less their components.

Eventually we'll wind up with a phone that's all screen and no bezel, and then where do we go?

A lesser-known quirk about typedef is that syntactically, it is treated like any other storage-class specifier (static, extern, register, auto). Since the ordering of storage-class specifiers is insignificant to the rest of the specifiers, it means that the following statements have the same effect:

typedef int myint;
int typedef myint;

The only difference here compared to a normal declaration is that the name "myint" defines a type and not an "object" as per the standard.
If that were universally so, there would be no trucks.

You bring up a good point. The biggest point of using React for me was using React-Native which Preact doesn't seem to have. I could definitely use Preact for most of my projects as I really only use React for its ability to make front-end components with ES6, so I will have to look in more detail. Thanks for the reference.

I agree (with Azure not being ready for primetime).

Their subscription page is incredibly slow: I timed it taking 17 seconds to load!
http://forwardscattering.org/post/41

After using some Azure VMs, I found there was still some storage devices or something on my account, several hundred of them. I tried to delete them through the Azure website, but you can only do it one at a time, and each deletion requires several clicks!

So I gave up and tried to use their powershell interface to delete them, but kept getting complicated errors.
Eventually I decided f*ck this, and just deleted my Azure account. They're still sending me emails.

Another anecdote: I manage a a couple of hundred VMs, databases, storage accounts, event hubs, Azure Web Apps and much more. Errors in the UI is pretty much a non-issue to me. I have multiple user accounts and manage multiple subscriptions and sometimes switching accounts gives me an error and I have to logout and back in. A bit annoying but hardly something which would make me switch.

I do suspect that their portal will not work well if the connection between you and their data center is shaky though.
I have to point out that this last point is totally ridiculous. Twitter is functionally just like like Xanga or Livejournal or any other dead blogging platform you care to name. Just because you have a community of dedicated users and a better UI doesn't mean the service is unique. It's as if you thought Evian(R) or Dasani(TM) are public utilities.

Frankly, I think we're going to see a backlash against information overload - social media has lost its novelty, and most consumers need far less of it than the producers want to provide.

Yeah, it's definitely something I'm hoping the CA/B Forum will address at some point. Something like a month seems like a sweet spot between not being annoying for new customers when they're in the process of getting multiple certs and not being a huge deal when domains are transferred.

I'm not aware of any kind of "Authorization Transparency" effort. Let's Encrypt were thinking about a way to share logs at some point (IIRC), so it might get included in those, but that's a maybe for the future and not a general solution for all CAs.

> I've updated the blog post

You still state in your updated post that: "The surprising aspect is that Authz has a validity of 300 days (which is likely to be increased)" [emphasis mine]. This would appear to be incorrect based on the source cited above , where it is stated at "Eventually, we'd like to make authorization objects much shorter than certificate lifetimes, probably 7 days."

Perhaps it's worth updating the post again in light of this?
You're welcome. You're correct that there's no React Native equivalent for Preact.

That might be a point in favor of Angular 2 where you need code that can be shared between mobile and web apps. Nativescript is similar to React Native, and has built in support for Angular 2.

Yeah no software updates aye, I probably get a minor security fix once a fortnight and have had a major os upgrade within a week of my phone arriving (xiaomi redmi 3s). I have owned about 5 different China phones, thl had awesome build and occasionally update. Xiaomi has had the best update frequency tho.
If you have to authenticate the domain every time, there's a good chance you capture that specific HTTP request traffic and log it to another server which isn't compromised. You now have an audit trail of the cert being issued and you have a chance of catching it.

If the account_key "walks away" and within 90 days they can get a cert without anything hitting your server, you have no audit log of the certificate being issued and are less likely to know your TLS is owned.

So if I understand correctly, the account_key is an unnecessary risk with very little return. (see my other post). I just immediately delete it every time, I don't see the point of keeping it.

Even key revocation does not require the account key, just the certificate private key. So really, what is the point? Unless there's something you actually need the account_key for... I feel like this was a failure to KISS.

EDIT: Mentioned downthread, there are also Certificate Transparency logs which can help you catch an unauthorized issuance, but that's not going to let you wire up an instant SMS through Twilio on every domain validation.

Things I don't particularly care about in a phone:

- Bezel size

- Weight

- Thickness

- Manufacturer-specific apps and skins

- Screen resolution beyond that of my eyes

- Fastest possible processor

Things I care about in a phone:

- Ability to make calls

- Battery life

- Replaceable battery

- Fits in my pocket

- Expandable storage

- Durable

- Decent camera

- Inexpensive

- Gets security updates

And what do the latest phones feature? Super-thin, super-light phones with consequently small batteries that are overburdened by enormous screens and processors that could run a laptop, and screens that would also fit a laptop. They cost $600 and more, when nearly-equivalent technology can bring the cost down to less than half that.

At least we're getting better cameras (though this would be easier with thicker phones) and waterproofing for durability. Wireless charging also seems to help with the longevity of the ports.
This is slightly misleading -- and the table is missing its footnotes from the original article -- since the "data only includes smartwatches capable of running third party applications". As a result, it ignores a lot of great wearables that for some reason IDC doesn't consider "smartwatches" which don't need third party apps.
I think the issue is more than the tooling randomly spills its spaghetti, rather than some percentage of instances failing, which is obviously expected.

Personally some of those screenshots would cause me to run a mile if I ever encountered them in my work. Those kind of generic, unspecified errors are terrifying when dealing with other peoples code which is ostensibly stable.
Well, you wouldn't be showing the JPEGs to anyone. Using JPEG compression for the calculation might be perfectly fine.

Well, NBO is big endian and PPC/Sparc/MIPS were usually BE in servers, now in routers and TVs, and LE in printers... Though POWER8 switched to LE.

So you can (and I have) write programs for these BE systems that completely neglect to use swizzling. You will also see code that doesn't use the swizzling macros (htons, ntohs, etc) because they 'know' the packets need to be swizzled and they do it always, when they shouldn't on some architectures.

This is like a poster child for a bad metric. It's bad because it's possible for a team to do a good job and have the metric look bad, it's possible for a team to do a bad job And have the metric look good. Are we sure that this metric is measuring something that we care about?

This metric is interesting to me, but it's an esoteric thing compared to practical issues of how well a site achieves its goals. This metric reminds me of tongue and groove house design: It's wonderful, but only matters to artisans.

I can't tell you how true this is. A lot of my friends still in the startup world call me a "burn out" and accuse me of having "no ambition."

Yeah, I have no ambition. Yet I can totally take a week off and head to Puerto Rico. Not only does the world not end, but I don't get called with an emergency while I'm hiking through the rainforest to find a swimming hole.

I get to go out every weekend. I go out on Sundays. I go out whenever. I pretty much key in 40 hours and work 35 hours a week (10 a.m. to 5 or 6).

Yeah, maybe I don't get paid above $200,000, but my life is straight out of some Oprah "Live your best life" book. So bite me. I'll take no ambition over that startup life any day.
I manage a similar workflow using Trello boards, one master board with my current projects, goals etc, another that serves as a weekly template, from which I create a copy for each week. I try to visualize what I'd like to accomplish with cards placed across the days I plan on spending time on it. A daily todo card has the number of 25 minute blocks I'd like to spend towards each.

So I see the value in this product, the challenge is being in a silo without necessarily having the resources to be as flexible and available cross-platform as Trello.
There are some areas where men are disadvantaged (e.g., as already mentioned, family court, or divorce proceedings) and saying that believing that requires psychological help is quite obviously insulting. You've been here long enough to have read the HN guidelines.

>> if you don't follow the plan, you haven't planned correctly.

Nope. Procrastination is a psychological problem, not a planning problem. You can create the most perfect plan, but if you don't have the mental discipline to ignore distractions, combined with mechanisms to manage those you can't ignore, your plan will be worthless.

>Explaining to them that this sacrifice is of no value to you can too easily be misconstrued as "you do not value me". If maintaining the social bond is important to you, then more is needed. I don't know what, though.

Nor do I. I don't recall if the book had any good suggestions. I somewhat doubt it. It's a fairly light, humorous book, even when dealing with serious topics.

This is especially problematic across cultures. I grew up in one culture, but my parents are from a very different culture (and country). We would visit my relatives every year, and my parents constantly chided me for not showing gratitude. I was just a kid, and I kept telling my parents "If X was such a big deal for them, tell them not to do it next time!" I just wouldn't accept that I had to do something awesome when I did not feel I got anything in return (in fact, I often disliked many of the "concessions" people made for me, so it was doubly worse).

Innately I guess I understood the problem without knowing the concepts. Over the years, the signal did get through - my relatives would be told in advance not to spend money buying certain categories of gifts for me (e.g. clothes) because I likely would not use them.
Thank you for the info! I imagined that there must be some technical issue as having hashes for content would make caching so easy. Anyway, at least using that hash for the same domain would save some requests, as browsers do requests to the server to see if the file hash matches in order to prevent sending the whole thing again.

Yes, I've been hasty to write sloppily today.

One thing that is not perfect is the way Python treats classes; the mechanism is very much like in Java or C#. Multiple dispatch requires some handiwork, although it's not half bad in a highly dynamic (so many things are first class in Python!) language. It kinda isn't Python's fault but there you go when trying to introduce concepts to fellow developers not in the most usual python guidebooks. And a part of the problem is Django, which is nice and all, but entails some highly unpythonic design choices and people around here take Django's way as gospel.

Pyrsistent is great. But I'd rather Python 4000 or something would go the way of scala or swift where you have immutable values by default and mutable values only when you specify it.

It's not a conundrum.

They will convince themselves that they have the power to prevent any problems (or deal with them).

As with most controversial technologies, they just have to be seen to be concerned with what could happen. Until it does happen, it's not a problem.
No, account keys are typically persisted and re-used, though specifics depend on the client implementation. I still think this is largely a non-issue. If you compromise the target system, you can just keep stealing private keys as they are being renewed. This would even decrease the chances of being detected, because using the stolen account key to issue new certificates would lead to those certificates popping up on various Certificate Transparency log servers, which might be noticed by the domain owner. You're already in a game-over scenario if you don't detect the compromise, the account key doesn't make things significantly worse.

Think of it like the credentials for a hosting provider where you bought your traditional SSL certificate being stolen. Not really a new threat.
In both cases, Twitter and Facebook, the content you see is entirely based on who you follow.
If you are creating a new account key with a new authz, but the old account key still gives you access to renewal certs, that IMO is absolutely a bug.

The authz should be tied to the { domain, account_key } tuple, not just the { domain }.

Can anyone confirm?

There are a few issues, but to be fair I've encountered similar things in all the cloud and VPS hosting services I've used. However, I do remember that I was once trying to push Azure as a solution and they promptly had an outage. We went with AWS instead. It's not that AWS don't have outages, they do, just that the timing was really bad.

Also, don't use the preview services in Azure apart from to try them out. They really are previews.

I've recently written a three part series of blog posts on AWS vs Azure. The third part, on pricing, is out today.

Some of them seem extremely misleading. The one claiming that Exchange was down for 20 days is politician-level dishonesty. The service wasn't even down. A small set of customers experienced repeated notifications for meetings, which is undoubtedly very annoying but nowhere near the impact of having no email access for weeks.

Most of these seem pretty minor. It almost feels like the complaint is that Azure is being too transparent. If Azure hid the issues until you encountered them directly, you'd not even see most of these. Yes, they should fix (and presumably are fixing) these issues, but transparency is a good thing for both the team and the customers.

I'm sure it would be helpful for many people, but for me personally once I miss a scheduled event like " At 3PM practice drawing for 2 hours, then do progrmaming from 4-5pm". If I start drawing at 3:15 and finish at 4:15, everything gets messed up. Fixed scheduling just isn't for me. I'd rather have a checklist like "draw for 2 hours" and "program for 1 hour", which I can check off daily and is flexible to my schedule.

These are mostly issues with the two web portals. The portal is awkward and slow, and doesn't have a table view of my stuff. Azure has been fine for us for provisioning vms via pythons scripting. Of course, the API suffers the same problems as the portals, there are two, and it's kind of awkward and slow. Neither is it well documented. (I had to use an undocumented feature for months for something basic... Might have been auth with the certificate. I'd also say azure is the slowest out of it, gce, and aws for provisioning a VM and installing a bunch of crap. I don't have real data, just been my impression comparing similar cost plans. That said, it does run Linux VMs.

The main shocking thing for me was learning that for all of these cloud APIs the calls fail with regularity, and you can waste a lot of time retrying shrugging "we dunno what happened" server side API problems.
