Yeah, I was actually thinking about that while writing, but forgot to include it. I've still not gotten on board with the password manager systems besides what's included in the browser (but I should), and those, if they include automatic password generators, which hadn't occurred to me until I was writing the bit about a tool above, probably make that a lot easier.

Although, the fact that there are popular tools available to work around the extra cognitive load imposed with account creation and tracking is a very good sign that a free account is much more of an impediment to the general person than these sites seem to realize.

Also, it doesn't affect the fact I still don't want to give away my email address before I've decided a service is worth having an account for.

It's a shame, because I am interested in seeing what the service is like. The problem is that my interest is part driven by wondering how similar it is to my current technique (put on my "Glitch Mob", "Zack Hemsey" or "Carpener Brut" stations on Pandora), wihch means I'm interested if it's slightly better, because I'm not unhappy now. I am at the same time very likely to use their service if it's good, but unlikely to jump through hoops to find out, since I have a solution that to my knowledge works sufficiently, and I've even decided it's worth paying Pandora for. Not exactly the type of customer they want to keep from seeing their service in action.

Interested? Feel free to contact me {steffen at fr8revolution.com}, I'd like learn about your recent accomplishments.
You implement security in order to have privacy and I agree it's poorly understood in the digital realm, mostly because it's "out of sight and out of mind". I like to use an analogy I can't remember where I picked up and reductio ad absurdum to get them past this automatic response, because that's what it is and it's based in the horrid and dangerous "Nothing to hide, nothing to fear" saying.

- The usual conversation -
I ask them: "Do you have curtains ?" and they say: "Yes, of course" and I ask "Why ? I mean you have nothing to hide right ? What does it matter if someone can see what you are doing inside your house ?", usually they freeze for a second, "Because it's creepy". I continue "Well if it's creepy that someone would watch you in your house, isn't it just as creepy if they watched you online, what you read, what porn you watch, what you talk to your friends about ? Which do you think tells more about who you are ?". At this point silence and an increasingly worried look is the norm.
I keep going: "It's not about hiding anything, it's about what is private. Otherwise why not tell everyone your darkest secret, your greatest fears, the thing you are most ashamed of doing in your life ? And that's why you should do [this or that]"

But even so, it's true most default back quickly. Still a few call, ask, improve their practices. People only seem to take it seriously after they have been directly impacted in a powerfully damaging way.

Edit: I have obviously had this conversation enough times to make this script in dealing with it. If you have to do it more than twice, automate it. :)

DeepMacro | New York, NY; Hanover, NH; or REMOTE | Full-time or contract

http://deepmacro.com/

We're seeking DevOps/SRE and Matlab/Octave Engineers.

DeepMacro collects and analyzes data from across the internet to better measure the global economy. We were founded in 2016 by an economist with experience at top hedge funds and the sell side (Jeff Young) and an expert in internet intelligence (Jim Cowie). We’ve raised a strong seed round and many of our investors are well known in macro finance.

Because our business is to gather and process activity from across the internet, we're already handling a significant amount of data (and growing). Our key hires right now are people who can help us scale and manage this data infrastructure, or who can work with our economists to turn data signals into economically meaningful indicators.

Well technically anyone can come up with some new protocol for messages and if everyone started using it, that would be free as well. "Email" isn't free, the protocols used are.

That's easy to 'document' and harder to do. It's what the JVM did, again, in the 90s. Now the verifier chapter in the JVM spec is now about 160 pages long.
In what way is this a 'crazy amount'? If it were 100% personnel costs, it would only pay for a dozen or two people max. Is that an unreasonable number of people working on SSL?

There are literally thousands of people working at SSL companies. 1100 at Comodo alone.

> I develop with those users in mind

I also develop with users in mind, which is why I don't care how large my development environment is as long as it brings benefit to them. My original comment was a response to a person who rhetorically asked how big the node_modules folder was after installing a list of dev tools. I don't install my IDE on your phone/netbook, nor do I install my JS dev tools. Who cares how much disk space it eats up on my developer computer? I couldn't fill my disk space unless I spent a week downloading porn. My laptop cost comment was one about developer contributions, based on the belief that we were still talking about dev tools. I won't design my dev environment so that a developer with a 10 year old computer can work with me. Everything in here has been about developer workflow. The user isn't impacted by any of it. In fact, all it does is improve their experience. For an example, I have a hobby app I'm working on in node/angular2, which is an image editing platform.

$ du -sh my_app/
483MB my_app/
$ cd my_app && npm run build
$ du -sh my_app.tar.gz
3.7MB my_app.tar.gz

It unzips to 24MB, 20MB of which are the few node modules that don't play nice with my build system. Spinning it up, it takes ups 62 MB of RAM. I'd hardly consider that earth shattering to a user (the user doesn't download it anyway, it's an api deployed on a server). When I run it in dev mode, it takes up 400MB of RAM. I don't care, because that's what this computer exists for.

It's a little awkward because there is no authority on the meaning of a word beyond that some other people understand it in a particular way.

In that role, wikipedia is as good as any other source.

No explicit comment on the wider applicability of your rule in other circumstances. But when was the last time you critically reexamined it?
I have trouble with snow.
Agree with Aphex Twin - you may dislike it, but it's hard to call it uninteresting. Not sure if that album would work as work music for me though, it's not quiet and calm - it's just varying and loud enough to attract my attention but not quite beat-y to keep me going either. It's interesting to see different opinions on this :D

Spotify works the same across all three operating systems (it's a hybrid webapp now)

Keynote is easily replaced by PowerPoint

Sketch: you may be able to replace it in the next future with Adobe XD, that will also support Windows 10 and it will be an UWP app with support for pen and touch (Currently waiting for the first beta, it's due before the end of 2016)
That disk space is still worth 18 bucks on a ssd between 1/3 and 1/4 of the purchase price of the game new. This isn't an inconsiderable sum.

Also cpu time to decompress audio is microscopic it might actually be faster especially if the consumer has a hard drive to read 1/10 of the data and decompress.

Additionally there is probably a smart middle ground between keeping the data as small as possible and 50GB of raw audio.
I don't see anything wrong with using those techniques. They're just not enough on their own to make the system sufficiently general to be useful. Extra steps are needed, and even then, there would still be cases where the lane markings can't be reliably made out. In those cases, human drivers would fall back on more general driving skills.
I have been thinking about where to go to lunch.

The main issue is that this is a server which many people will use and there are some business-important services that will run on it.

I'm definitely planning on installing and using CentOS as a personal machine to help learn.

I was thinking more along the lines of security and monitoring.

So this seems to be the problem. You're definition of Pro includes "all the ports". The author's definition of Pro includes "avoid HDMI, SD slot, Display Port". It can't both have and not have all the ports.

The author's definition of Pro also includes 16GB RAM, but most posts I've seen complain about not being able to order 32GB RAM. It seems that Apple can't win no matter what they do.
Mainstream Slack Feedback
Hi Everyone,

My name is Brayson a former product designer for Whatsapp. I've secretly been working on a new social communication platform that will be disrupting the mainstream chat market Slack is missing, Twitter should have done with moments and Reddit can never pull off. We've created an instant and scalable solution for open groups for people just like you. Our private beta launches Nov 6th...We would love some feedback from this community. Check it and letsprattle.com
As a heavy bash user I have to agree. Even the new Linux subsystem for Windows terminals use the horrible command prompt. I wish they would port Ubuntu's terminal app with tabs and much better usability.
I've required my students to turn in knitted pdf's from their R Markdown code. This course is more of an applied stats class, rather than stat computing, which I guess might make more sense. But it does ensure reproducibility (mostly, once we do away with working directories!).

My difficulty is more that for most of these students, this is their first time using R or a real programming language. I had hoped that R Markdown would make the process simpler and more sensible. But the tendency of a student is to try different things, and not have a strong understanding of the logic behind those processes. So they create R Markdown files, and then gripe about how the code works in their IDE, but doesn't knit, and so knitr must be broken!
> Regardless of whether operating systems get involved in tasks like re-encoding text, they really should at least carry along the metadata about encodings whenever they're handling bytes that represent strings.

I have no problem with this as long as the metadata itself is just additional bytes. But if the metadata needs to be decoded in order to figure out how to decode it, we have a problem... :-)
Maybe someone with a public level of accountability--say the government--should start an adversarial inspection and certification program. Think about how we don't let cars on public roads unless they pass inspection, to verify that they aren't a ticking time-bomb in the middle of the highway--or no more so than usual.

Unlike vehicle registration, it wouldn't require you to have to do anything other than keep your system maintained. If you want to put your computer on the internet, be prepared to get port-scanned by the US Digital Service once a year/month/week/whatever, attempting to take your computer off the 'net. If it succeeds, then that's one machine that could have been--but now won't be--part of a botnet.

Ask HN: Who wants to contribute to Open Source?
I always liked the simplicity of Register based machines.
To me this means you have an application, not an OS--or perhaps an application that also happens to be an OS. (Emacs comes to mind...)
Don't use a phone then. Identifying information is being collected and stored by the carrier for at least a month, which can then be handed to regular law enforcement upon subpoena. Federal level likely doesn't even need due process.

Moxie himself spoke about this in the past.
Wow! The Datassette album is one of my favourites - Minus Fourteen is the first song on one of my favourite work playlists.
I don't think this is what yuhong was referring to, but there's a lot wrong with HTML5. Googling "w3c whatwg", as one commenter suggested, won't give you any real insight into the mess, but it will hint at it.

TL;DR The above document is irrelevant and should be ignored. Popular browsers' implementations define the HTML5 that most devs will want to target, and those browser vendors are members of the competing WHATWG body. They will largely ignore the W3C copy.
Emailed you the last time! Here is a ping again :)
Well, depends how well you know Linux. My old Asus Zenbook has been a great servant, running the same Arch installation since I bought the laptop. Superb fonts, suspend/hibernate etc works, Intel and Nvidia GPUs both work, WiFi connects automatically and I can manage the networks from Roxterm, I still have a pretty good battery life and nothing beats my Xmonad setup.

And yes, the build quality doesn't match Apple. But actually I really don't care. Over three years of daily usage already and I can't really complain. Next thing I'm checking the Razer, Dell and Lenovo selection, but it seems I just don't need an update yet.

I'm a developer, I do hard stuff for work. Setting up a Linux distro is peanuts compared to the issues I face daily. And no, OSX is far from a usable operation system for my usage.
Yes absolutely! Life is actually a way to increase entropy as it harnesses chemical energy in systems that otherwise wouldn't be able to reach a lower energy state by themselves.
Original announcement 6 months ago, for those wondering what this is about: https://medium.com/talkshow/talkshow-is-texting-in-public-c0...
Is there a group of people who actively choose not to read? Are they choosing not to grow themselves, as the author positions reading for?
More precisely, the "versions" are entirely arbitrary and even "versioning" HTML for the purpose of buzzwords is a misnomer. You will notice that WHATWG don't version their standards.
So do cell phones automatically connect to the strongest 2G cell tower? Aren't they filtering for cell towers that only belong to their respective carrier?

Thanks for the reminder that while grad school doesn't feel that long ago, spinning rust was definitely the name of the game at the time. SSDs were a thing, but way too expensive and small for non-exotic purposes... :D
Here in India I buy all my servers from Dell.We insist on FreeDOS because we have a standard OS setup inside the company: CentOS 7 for servers, Ubuntu 16.04 for dev workstations and Windows or macOS for laptops and for workstations for design. It's so much simpler to just test the delivered systems if they had FreeDOS installed and then burn whatever image we need on the machine.
It's ok by me, but the parent was saying liking EDM doesn't mean one is ignorant. I'm just pointing out that it actually does. There's a reason no one listens to unadorned 808 loops, and for the same reason, many people who listen to simple pop and dance music eventually move on to more sophisticated fare.
