As a law student, I experience this a lot.
Computers and programming were/are my only passion and obsession.
My life is dedicated to computers, but professionally I have to be a lawyer.

I just had an interview at an IT Law Firm, and made a fool of myself.
That's why I completely agree that, we as "people who are good at computers" need to keep seperate identities.

Because if you go full Aspergers, you make yourself vulnerable.
Once people realize you're "different", you get the "poor boy treatment" and that hurts.

PS: I am still trying to get over the interview, sorry if I don't make any sense.
I am currently using Elm on an app and had no difficulties creating a select list like the one in the article.

I use Elm more as a way to write components on a server rendered page and it works for great this way! The eco-system is too small to think about creating complex SPA at this point but I really like the language and hope it matures well.
Are you interested in doing more around reddit ? interested in an app/site idea?
Since it's seniors who hire, i'de say it's pretty important whether they value it or not. And a lot don't, especially for networking since CS has almost no networking in it (by the 2nd year most undergrads still have difficulty working with binary, i.e. netmasks, cidr's, wildcards, etc.).

Say I run the server under my control, and I talk to other people on and off my server via XMPP. What is occuring is my laptop, phone & tablet are connecting back to my XMPP server, which then connects to those clients, thus not leaking my IP address, OS, etc. Additionally, I can tunnel this all over CJDNS or OpenVPN and nooone will be the wiser that I am even using XMPP.

Comparatively, as it stands now Google is getting a bunch of metadata on Signal users, such as when messages are sent and received and from which device, IP addresses, OS info, etc.
That's just clickbait, it's not something that the guy actually said.
It depends on in which country you are asking.
I don't understand how these interviews work. You can't have a single correct answer to these kind of questions.

- 3 seems to be the obvious answer.

- 1 for keep alive stuff but even with a single connection, there are multiple requests. Also, nobody said the images were on the same server.

- Did I have these images on cache? Maybe 1 then.

- 4 with favicon request (now we are nitpicking)

- Hey maybe each resource is behind 5 http redirects.. So 15 would be correct I guess?

- Base64 encoded images are fun too.

They really have a "set in stone correct answer" and do not discuss these with people?

Even with autonomous cars I wouldn't commute that way. It's not the kind of road where I could read or sleep while being driven there.
That isn't ad hominem, though. An attack that implies personal qualities isn't the same as an attack on the person.

I think the point is that someone who is choosing an OS that is controlled by a particular company has chosen to trust that company.
I can answer that that precisely: 4. I was testing Homebrew in a virtual machine to see how it compared to MacPorts, Nix, and Pkgsrc at the time and can restore the virtual machine with Terminal still open and my complete session viewable.

Sure the "fix" is simple. But when I'm evaluating something I'm possibly going to make part of my life, I have to ask myself: how many more surprises await me?

Based on my evaluation of the available package managers, my ranking (for macOS) is:

1) MacPorts
2) Pkgsrc
3) Homebrew
4) Nix
Look for older development companies, where the developer staff is all over 40. The work tends to be in C/C++, you'll find none of the modern programming fashions (Agile, whatnot...) and they expect you to be a mature adult capable of self managing. They don't care how one works, as long as you own your work, can fix if issues or bugs are found, and can generally operate as a respectful peer to the other developers. The work you'll be given will be significant, you won't be able to slack off, but if you're an individual that appreciates honest, hard work that includes machine learning, advanced math and stats, 3D and GPU programming, plus responsibility for the entire UI, software documentation, and support of your development - its a dream situation. But ya gotta be capable of deep self directed research plus the entire development cycle yourself, as these older development companies tend to have deep libraries of past projects you'll need to learn for the core of whatever they task you to create.
Ask HN: How do I protect my parents from the internet?
I recently came home to find the home PC has been bricked - the boot layer has somehow been corrupted.

This is pretty remarkable given that my dad only uses it watch golf videos and edit some photos in lightroom. He may occasionally indulge in some porn cough.

I figured he'd be relatively safe as I installed an Adblocker and had Norton installed on the device but I did not realise how vulnerable he was until I found out he can't tell the difference between a pop up and a genuine desktop notification. He has even clicked through on a "You have been chosen to win an iPhone 7" link recently - he saw no harm in at least seeing what might happen.

He also likes to download videos from youtube so I taught him how to use youtube-dl but ended up downloading some malware-infected ripper because it had a more convenient UI.

How do I educate someone from such a base level?

What can I put on the PC to protect them? I avoided using scriptblockers as I don't think they are tech savvy enough to work out why a page might not be working.

That automobile engineering is different from software engineering in Germany is kind of agreeing with what I say. That people still think that is one of the major reasons why German car companies will fall behind. And you also agree that a car companies would worry about hiring great car engineers (i.e. the people who build great old-style cars) instead of great software engineers (the people who automate the machines to build the new-style cars).

You need to have 50-50 car engineers and software engineers and they need to work together to make that move happen. Do you think a guy with a black Star Wars t-shirt and an Arch Linux running Thinkpad could get any meaningful say in product development at any big German company, car companies and banks especially? If you would answer that with "no" we basically have the same view on how the German industry looks like. What we may not agree on is if that can succeed any longer in the automobile market.
I didn't, so hopefully newer Roomba's should be better in this regard.

It's a difficult thing to measure though and I didn't want to take the chance again (in the short term).

I found I got better cleaning (measured anecdotally by how much Ventolin I use) from a high-end handheld vacuum cleaner with HEPA and changing how I clean to include curtains, mattresses and pillows.

Definitely not as cool as having a robot though. I think that Karcher used to make a robot with a base station that it would empty itself into, which is a neat idea. That would cut down on the emptying.

[EDIT] I should add that the handheld vacuum cleaner has its own problems too since it's bagless. Great in principle until you empty it into a cloud of dust. I like seeing how much dirt is picked up but maybe disposable bags are the best solution after all.

The thing is, this are big German Cooperations and they will be late to the Game for ~ 20 years. As is tradition.

German banks just launched their own PayPal with way, way more bureaucracy for their customers and way less features.

VW and Mercedes had electric car prototypes when I was a kid in the 90s but they never did anything with it.
I thought the system was supposed to provide encryption to known communication, not anonymity?

If that's the case, choosing to use an existing identity management system most people are part of is an excellent bootstrapping decision. Identity management is hard, and it's a fair problem to punt on if it's not your focus.

Encryption != anonymity. (In fact, it usually does the opposite, because encrypted messages stand out.)
Hint: do Big Data & ML and let BMW, Audi and M-B fight each other to get you. 140k/year base. Externally BMW will tell you that not even managers have 80k but that's just public BS. They are pretty much in a war for talent.
Is there some kind of API for this?
I usually follow such a strategy as well. But I also recognize that in doing so, I am "following the herd" for better or worse. For something as nuanced and niche as Westworld, I think I'd decide for myself. BTW, I've not yet watched it.

It's because of things like the following scenario, which as a 17 year old with a lead foot, I was "lucky" enough to have happen to me.

A police trooper pulled me over for ~80 in a 65 (deserted highway at night). He somehow transposed the last two numbers in my license plate, so I obviously assumed I was home free. Until, while I was on the stand, the judge just looked at me for about 10 seconds, said "Were you driving the car?" "[pause] Yes, your honor." "[gavel slam] Guilty."
The issue with chemistry is that you need to develop a "feel" (chemical intuition) for a lot of topics. A lot of chemistry taught in undergrad, like Organic, cannot always be neatly explained or solved with an equation. On top of that there seems to be as many exceptions to rules as there are rules themselves.

You should provide some specific counterpoints and sources to back said points up - because rolling their own encryption is by itself reason enough not to use them. defaulting encryption to off is just icing on the cake
> Fire 95% of employees and sell 1% of the cars they are selling today?

I am no expert at history, however, during the 1930's Henry Ford did something similar to introduce the Flathead V8. Factories were closed, hundreds of thousands made unemployed, then, in secret, Ford worked on the V8 and the factory to make the new cars. When he was ready the gates opened and new hires were made.

This is a good point. I guess the difference here will be "how much do we trust human judgement?" and "how much do we trust AI predictions?". If AIs make 10% less errors than humans but we have 50% more trust in them, that's a problem. Eugenics were not a problem because science was wrong, but because people blindly trusted it to apply where it should not.

There are a lot of things to consider, here, those are exciting times for thinking.
There are ways to organize your lambdas to get around the 300s timeout. In classic AWS fashion... you just need to give them more money.

Look for ways to divide-and-conquer your lambdas into smaller parts. If you need to run some logic for every record in some table, give N records to a single lambda (where N is some small number which doesn't make the lambda take anywhere close to 300s).

You can orchestrate this workflow with several different AWS tools which exist all over the spectrum of cost and ease-of-use.

Easiest is definitely just having the master lambda directly invoke the other lambdas with InvocationType:Event.

SNS is another easy option. Lambda(master)->SNS(per N records)->Lambda(splinter). Downside is that you'll probably completely blast out your global AWS concurrent function execution limit pretty quickly because you have no control over how quickly SNS will trigger your functions.

Kinesis is a more powerful option. SQS also has potential, but you can't directly trigger a Lambda from SQS. One pattern I've seen used is to have a CWEvents cron trigger a lambda every M seconds to read N records from SQS. Depending on how consistent your workload is, this might make sense because it gives you really fine-grained control over that ratio between "how quickly will my jobs be processed" and "am I approaching my AWS global account limits". But if your jobs are really disparate you'd be invoking lambdas all day to do a whole bunch of nothing 90% of the time.

Then use your phone to see the item. and a map on the phone for how to get to the item. kind of become the twilio of augmented reality.

Decent bundled game selection, as it's really about the content and not the system. A real content breakthrough would be a game market where I could pay to download roms and add them to the SD. In any case I will probably pick one up so I can be 12 years old again.
If all you want to do is take a screenshot, I've had success with http://wkhtmltopdf.org/ (which also outputs to image formats.) You can't script it though.

Hm, Signal was never about anonymity, it's just an end-to-end encrypted chat and marketed as such.
Note that ZigBee should have a lower attack surface than the Hue/LightLink extension. The regular ZigBee protocol requires a Coordinator in the mesh network, most of the LightLink protocol deals with doing away with that requirement.
I focussed on your suggestion that it had to cost $100.

If people don't need IPv6, then why bother. My impression is that the content providers don't care about IPv6, so I assume they have plenty of IPv4 space.

Some large consumer ISP are short on IPv4 address, but in that case, they will will make sure their customers get IPv6 capable CPEs.

Anything else is a very nice hobby.

Even if that chart is only for one month, the website does include sales data for longer periods. Back in August 2016, they published an article claiming there are now 500,000 EVs on European roads.[1]

I think one interesting point to keep in mind is that German manufacturers aren't the only European game in town. The Renault Zoe is the overall best selling European EV. Also, addressing an earlier comment, the Zoe EV doesn't look exceptionally futuristic. It really is an almost exact copy of the petrol Zoe. I find myself just looking for the exhaust in order to distinguish the two from a moderate distance.

Smaller, city going vehicles have a history of being more popular in Europe (Fiat 500, Mini, Polo, Smart etc), where roads don't tend to be as wide. I see quite a few Zoes and i3s in my moderate sized European city. They feel like the perfect commuting vehicle and second car, even if not particularly suited to long motorway miles.

Even without a full-blown macro system, it could be worthwhile to have a feature specifically for this. Haskell lets you write "deriving Enum" to (in effect) generate the list of values at the bottom of the blogpost automatically.
From what I've seen, Slate and Vice have exclusives on the data - so probably no. But if it is successful and the company can stick around until the next election, perhaps they will consider syndication of some kind.
I think the point is not that VW should stop selling gas-powered cars completely yet, but that they should at least match Tesla in investments and strategy when it comes to EVs. Right now they are far behind, and that's beyond shameful - it could cost them the company in 10-15 years, because EVs are the future. And they are still not quite acting like they are.

They're still treating EVs as another "market segment" and that's a problem - for them.

How A/B Testing Won the US Election
I admit your front door deadbolt analogy is a very persuasive argument, however this is being marketed as a technically perfect nuclear material / army weapons locker grade bank vault door that solves all security problems when installed and used. Which might be correct.

However, I will extend your admittedly excellent analogy with unfortunately this probably high quality piece of security hardware is installed in a garden shed that has easily breakable windows with no curtains and at least a couple unlocked back doors and an unknown number of (old fashioned electronic) bugs installed in the shed and the news is full, every day, of stories of garden sheds being broken into and peoples secrets on the front page, or at least the front page of wikileaks. Yet the marketing spiel is something like "once you install this really nice door, that's all you need to be completely secure and can feel comfy doing anything that needs to be private or is illegal"

"There's no reason people should be confined to only discussing those topics with people in physical proximity"

Pragmatically, sure there is, its because they don't want it made public. Extremely optimistically, all you need to do is install this really top quality bank vault door on your garden shed, then ...
Wait, you don't consider entering Crimea to be increasing his sphere of influence? Even if you consider that justified, surely it's still expansionist?

Yes, usually you'd have to consider syndication rights, DVD sales, merch, etc when looking at a show's overall profitability.

OTOH, it would appear in many cases those rights aren't going to Netflix directly. See

https://www.wired.com/2014/03/comcast-bites-netflix-snagging...

, for example.

(Of course, this is how Netflix is getting so many shows made - they're trading those rights to the production company in exchange for not footing the entire production cost.)

It's worth noting, though, that those will scale strongly with the initial success of the show. Breaking Bad DVD sales were huge. The sales of DVDs of, say, "Alphas" on Sci-Fi will not be nearly as impressive.

As for subscribe numbers - I don't have hard figures, but based on years of persuading people to watch video-based narrative content I'd guess 5% of total viewers for a weak show, 10% for a strong show or one that's capturing a new audience, 18% for one that's both very strong and targeted at a radically new audience. Occasional outliers like Breaking Bad and Game Of Thrones will probably provide higher capture for the subscription services showing them, but they're 1-3 times a decade phenomena.
