I find that using a map app en route, as opposed to actively looking it up beforehand, often I almost immediately forget the route (and sometimes even the rough location of the destination itself).

I've noticed this in particular since occasionally using a map app to navigate around my own city, new friends or people that have moved, if I just follow the map app navigation on my bicycle, good chance I'll have to look it up again next time I go there. Before that, I looked it up at home, memorized the route, and went out (if I forget or get lost, no worries, there's backlit city maps every couple of streets on the back of certain advertisements) and next time I don't need to look up anything.

And it's not just because I memorized it once, a big part is also that I'm actively doing the navigating myself, looking around, orienting, I'm navigating the city instead of following the blue line on the screen, which is really navigating the map.

Very similar to how I, back in the old days, I had more than ten phone numbers memorized in my head (maybe even more, I don't quite remember), without really trying, just because I had to look them up in my physical (paper) address book and physically type in the (10-digit) numbers. After a while you just start to memorize the common ones.

Not saying that map apps aren't useful obviously. But I wouldn't dismiss a good road atlas that quickly.

> If that's the case, though, then he could benefit from reading this HN submission in writing future disclosures.

Benefit how exactly?

By becoming another mindless conformist whitehat who never exercises full disclosure when a vendor isn't taking security seriously (but oh man will they ever pay lip-service to the idea of taking security seriously)?

That's what a lot of the comments in this thread would have him do, anyway.

I think the best benefit he could get from reading the comments here is the realization that so much of the tech industry knee-jerk-defends software vendors without realizing the importance of diverse vulnerability disclosure practices. Then when someone gets particularly nasty with him, he can shrug it off as just a particularly-vocal entitled developer who has probably never found a security vulnerability before, and proceed with following the established P0 policies.

But he probably already knows/realizes this.

But ultimately, I think the comments here would be a waste of time that could better be spent on things that matter far more than the egos of most HN commenters. Myself especially.

I'm tired of Apple (and others) tying their products to subscription services.

Ie. The server can now act as network storage for your iCloud services (e.g. iCloud drive and photos). But, despite the fact that your server is now your preferred cloud storage you'll still need to pay Apple a monthly fee for iCloud storage.

> That's a terribly faulty assumption. The average age of all cars on the road in the US is 11 years old.

No, my assumption is fine. Oddly, yours is flawed. My assumption doesn't use national averages that include southern states and non-coastal states where cars last forever. In my unique living conditions, my assumption is fine.

Again, there are more factors at work here. The trucks practical life was over, not because it couldn't be repaired, but because it didn't make sense. When a repair bill becomes greater than the value of the car, you stop repairing it.
The longest flight I did was when I returned from a visit to New Zealand in 2004:

Lots of people know Tensorflow and python, but if you can be one of the people that also understands the underlying math and can think about the results in statistical terms, rather than simply treating it as a black box, then you'll be way ahead of the pack.
Long ago I knew someone who effectively used email as a chat system: the delivery latency was low enough for local email that you could just put the message in the Subject and reply immediately. This did indeed rely on IMAP IDLE.

Unfortunately message delivery latency has gone up a lot these days. It might be saner to ask, "can we deliver mail over MQTT?" instead.

IMO the better way to run is with _no_ shared file system at all. Use CodeDeploy to ship the deploy files to all ec2 servers, and then use S3 to store all uploaded files. WordPress doesn't need to do any file writing outside of the `uploads` directory.

This allows you to sidestep a large amount of pain points with shared filesystems, and every ec2 server has local disk performance.
IMHO Qubes (https://www.qubes-os.org/) is the only desktop distro with worthwhile differentiation. Most of the other distros' gimmicks fall under "who cares" if you just want to browse the web and program.
Because Redox's aim is to be as little non-Rust as possible. I agree it'd be ill-advised to rewrite seL4 rather than use it, even though it's been a while since a revision was verified, because it's been battle tested, is continually improved and small enough to trust.

I'd add that different people would define "Successful career" differently.

If what you're after is essentially setting yourself up for being a "valuable resource no matter if onsite or remote" then as long as you're on top of your game tech chops - wise and there are companies out there willing to allow ppl with your skillset to work remote - you'll be alright.

For some ppl "successful career" entails getting "more responsibility" in their roles which is basically corp speak for getting into management/team lead positions. If that's your goal then your best bet would be looking for a "remote first" type company where everyone/most everyone is remote. Sure, you don't have to do this right away but keep in mind that it's very rare for a distributed tech team to be hiring external team leads/managers etc.

One other thing I'd add from my personal experience. Teams that aren't remote first but are looking for remote folks out of necessity (as in lack of "local talent") are not only more stressful to be on if you get the gig - they also tend to place the bar higher for remote candidates so one- get ready for hackerrank type challenges and two - have a github profile you won't be ashamed to share with the potential employer :)
I do all of what you describe and I also need a mouse with windows laptops - but not because touchpads are bad in general, it's just that windows laptops have absolutely rubbish ones compared to Macbooks. A precision pointer device right below my thumb is still the most productive way to make the cursor go to a specific point on the screen - it's the only way to reduce that particular action down to one gesture in the general case. Hotkeys and macros only help in special cases. Doing computing today basically results in a series of little 1D problems and 2D problems. Sometimes the keyboard, which creates a 1D stream of input sequences, maps well to a 2D problem, but very often using an actual 2D device is the most efficient way of dealing with that.
The architecture you describe is going to be extremely sensitive to all the usual asynchronous system problems--message omission, message duplication, and message reordering (you could fix all of them with enough effort and potential slowdown, but probably don't). Having tried it, I'd categorize your system as a nightmare too :)

Microsoft is often too secretive about security issues. For instance, back in 2014, they had a 19yr old bug that was as dangerous as Heartbleed was (revealed a few months earlier). But Microsoft kept it under wraps as much as possible, so nobody really wrote about it.

Same with how they advertise security updates in Windows these days, or how they include a dozen root certificates in a random update without telling anyone why or who those root CAs are.
I hate open-plan offices with a passion. Especially when I get stuck on a high-traffic corridor.

Strangely, though, I do like spending time in coffee shops.

Maybe companies should just do away with offices altogether (walled, cubicles, and open), and turn the company building into a giant coffee shop with free drinks and pastries, nice decor, etc. Provide some meeting rooms so teams can meet in person, but otherwise just let everyone find a little alcove in the coffee shop to work in.
American English definitely has a monophthongal /e/ sound in words such as BED, which is conventionally transcribed as /e/ although it really is an open/mid "E" rather than a close one and thus /ɛ/ would probably be more accurate. You're probably confusing that sound with the diphthong in FACE /eɪ/, which in Scottish English usually is a long close front vowel /eː/.

Remote worker here for the last 3 months pulling a silicon valley salary. Here is how it happened.
1) Domain/specialization. Thought I've got generalist skills as well, have lots of years in a specialized category of enterprise software.
2) Flexible Company. My employer has a small minority of remote developers.
3) Negotiated it up front. I felt the initial offer was below what I wanted and was worth and they were not the type of outfit that payed very high by valley standards. They wouldn't budge on salary so I proposed remote at the salary there were offering. They countered with remote after one year. I said ok. Busted my butt for one year and here I am back in my home state where I can afford a decent house.

4 Reasons Millennials Must Begin Retirement Planning Right Away
If you've ever used Remote Desktop / VNC, you know that it just doesn't work. The latency of the network communication is too great within your own local network over Wifi, enough as to be a pain in the ass for work, let alone when communicating over the Internet. And you'd better not be on a metered Internet connection, because these high-resolution screens will produce data like crazy.

I know it sounds cool in theory, but it just doesn't work, at all. Basically Remote Desktop / VNC is only useful for short sessions and/or debugging, not for work, unless you're in text mode with SSH, vim, screen, tools like that ;-)
Beware of the sit/stand Bekant desk, unless you live near an IKEA. The power supply in them goes bad, and it's not a standard power supply either. While they do give you a 10 year warranty on the desk, the replacement of the power supply proved to be difficult for me. My first lasted maybe ~6 months of light use, and took another 4-5 months to get a replacement.

I live ~4 hours away from the nearest IKEA. They completely acknowledged there was a power supply problem when I was able to chat with them on the phone, but only wanted me to bring the whole desk back in for replacement. It's easy to prove it's just the power supply that stops working because the green light goes out on it, and unplugging it a few hours makes it work again. I finally raised enough of a storm they sent me a new one and it's worked since.

Email is missing chat. Email is missing encryption. Email is missing anonymity. Yet email is the last free, public, globally distributed network we have. Phones, radio, even snail mail all have fees and oversight from a central source.

I can totally see this project being combined with a "smart" encryption system (one that can tell when to encrypt emails to people that support it) to sit right on top of our current SMTP setup to provide "progressive enhancement" for apps that want to add these things to email.

I have the UX360CA and UX501VW.

The fanless Core-Y UX360CA never had any issues, works out of the box.

UX501VW has fan control issues with 16.04, which you can solve by installing a newer kernel (4.8 series) or by upgrading to 16.10. You must do this, otherwise the fan will run at loud, insane speeds and might eventually wear out. NVidia graphics will work without issues, but switchable graphics doesn't work via NVidia's control panel. I don't need the discrete GPU, so I'm exclusively using Intel drivers. Driver does crash (screen flickers) at times with my external 4k monitor. Apart from that, Powertop takes care of Power management issues. Overall, expect to spend 3-4 hours getting UX501VW set up.
> Not if its global catastrophe in the next decades that trigger that.

People have talking about global catastrophe since the 1960's and some of the predictions from the first Earth day in 1970 were so alarmist it's funny to look back at those now:

"Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years."

- Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich

"At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it's only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable."

- Ecologist Kenneth Watt

"Air pollution...is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone."

- Paul Ehrlich

"The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age."

Adoption of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) in DNSSEC [pdf]
> modern linguists

You'd have to ask a modern linguist, not just anybody. Class signifiers in speech still exist, but modern linguists are not likely to endorse one way of speaking as better than others.

I guess I agree with your objection though, this statement is pointless. Its comparing modern linguists to '60s rich folks from the east coast. They don't agree, what a surprise. I think you are right, in that a better comparison would be '60s rich folks from the east coast to 2010s rich folks from the east coast. And I agree that you would find things have not changed as much.

I think the whole statement was a way to introduce that the author has been talking to linguists, and start with a really crude overview of their opinion of the whole thing before we get to the details.

The majority of people who make a gaming machine will put Windows on it.

OSX and Linux have done well at getting more developers to make their games compatible with them, but I can't even name any games that work on either of those and not Windows, except the ones that are free in the repositories.

Kickstarter'd games all pledge Windows from the start and may have Linux and/or OSX added on if they get enough support.

They definitely still own the PC gaming space.
Visual Investigations across the Curriculum
The first thing is obviously playful hyperbole, but I don't know about "childish".

But, regarding your second quote... if you bring up the idea of a way of speaking being "better" or "worse" to a modern linguist, trust, me: you will understand why the author uses "wildly offended" instead of just "offended".

If the author had just kept it at "The entire concept of an elocution class is offensive to most of the modern linguists I know", that would not at all be sufficiently conveying the degree to which the idea of a prescribed elocution class is violently at odds with everything most modern linguists believe in.

Like we had public access on cable? You had limited resources and serious censorship both by the government and local 'community values.' Half the things on imgur or gify wouldn't be allowed on this hypothetical government hosting.

Having the government do everything has been tried in history and its leads to failure (communism). There's a reason that the PC and internet and mobile revolutions happened via capitalism and private business. Or why wikpedia is a foundation or the wayback machine or whatever. I understand Bernie Sanders is popular here and there's a strange 'have the government do everything, duh' mentality popular with millennials now, but historically it doesn't pan out. The government's role should be something that's carefully considered. Its not remotely a fix-all.
