I ripped through Red Rising and Golden Sun last month based on a buddy's recommendation. Morning Star is my early Christmas gift. It's an absolute page-turner of a series.
Swell! I was hoping that existed in this language. The rest of the code looks concise FWIW, https://github.com/tcr/rust-todomvc/blob/master/src/main.rs
The "iPhone and suction cup" was tongue in cheek, but train drivers are already behind locked doors And anyone can already bring most trains to a stop by pulling the red "please stop this train" lever. Just install more cameras if you're worried, or get a security guard. Cheaper than a driver and takes less time to train (heh).
What's to stop them from modifying the OS itself to spy on you? On a closed platform, you don't have peace of mind from spying.
Especially dishonest of Riot promoters is to even introduce it at this very moment to the "normal" users, because

"Riot’s encryption is not yet fully stable and, more importantly, it is not yet enabled by default in chats (you have to enable it manually). This will be changed in the future, but makes it more likely for users to make mistakes until then."

Users "make mistakes"? By using the defaults? I consider it a mistake to promote it to the users with such defaults. A "secure" product which "doesn't encrypt by default"? And "it's not stable"? What does that mean? The encryption either works or not. "Almost working" is still "not working."

Then please don't write

"An alternative to Signal is Riot." It is not. As far as I understand it just "could once be an alternative."

But based on the responses I've received here to my questions about Riot, it's promising: according to them, I will be able to set up my own network of people (e.g. just my family) with which I'd like to communicate. Yay! (thanks to mxuribe and NoGravitas for the answers)
Umm.. you vote out the corruption?
> A rust vdom wasm library would probably be blazing fast.

Most of the cost of vdom is the resulting DOM ops and reflow/restyle the browser needs to do. It may be faster than the fastest today, but you're unlikely to see any kind of performance leap or even anything noticeable.
So a target triple is really a target quad (makes perfect sense). Tbh, leaving it out would or using the word "generic" would be far better than unknown.
Riot is most comparable to Slack or Discord. It has chat rooms. It supports voice, image posts, file transfer, etc. It stores conversation history. You can private message people.

Matrix is a generalized protocol for decentralized and federated communications; it's agnostic to the application layer provided by Riot. Something Matrix doesn't have, but is on the issue backlog, is support for email-esque thread contexts. [0]

Yes you depend on Apple's cooperation on iOS & Google's cooperation on Android. Even if you flash your phone with your own custom OS, your radio chips will still run proprietary firmware that can be updated over the air without the OS even knowing.

These aren't high priority problems right now for mass surveillance, as we have people using plain text chat. If you're expecting a wealthy adversary to directly target you, then the only safe move is to avoid technology.
>Because come on, it's blitheringly obvious to anyone who's casually browsed Alibaba for more than three minutes that some of the goods are counterfeit.

To add to that, my understanding has been if if you explicitly WANT counterfeit stuff (since it's normally a lot cheaper) you can get it there. This is basically a feature for me.

PGP can be used to encrypt at the ends, in which case it is end-to-end encryption. So that's not a different feature.

There are really good vim plugins for visual studio so it's not an either or proposition. Vim keybindings are simply a much faster way to edit code.

What's less intuitive? caw stands for change a word. This selects the word and deletes it leaving you in insert mode to type something new.

Or: ctrl left arrow, shift, ctrl right arrow, delete key.

cit stands for change inside tag (html tag) or ci" for change inside the double quotes. dit and di" work just the same and vim can be thought of as a language to work on text.

If you have a few min to spare to see why it's so powerful and not that hard to learn you can google "you don't grok vim" to get a good stackoverflow response on it.
Sure, there could be mitigating circumstances, but I've worked for a startup that folded just after Christmas while the office was closed for the holiday, we were all fired by phone.

It sucked.

Spending the holidays with family can be even more stress inducing when you've just learned that you lost your job. No ability to go out with local friends or former coworkers to commiserate about being fired and talk about job prospects. I was too distracted with job searching to really relax and enjoy time with family.

Rumor was that the investors pulled the plug before the end of the year for tax reasons, but I'm skeptical since it took months to sell off assets (physical and virtual) and wind down the business.

I made out pretty well though, got a lucrative contract with the company that bought the core software to keep it running for them until they could merge it into their systems.

A container networking overview
I'm not sure it really matters -- if Apple wants to log your conversations they don't have to put a backdoor into Signal, they could just put a backdoor into iOS itself. An attacker with privileged access to the guts of the operating system doesn't have much need to muck around with hacking the applications that run on it.

Which is to say, security-minded users should strive to trust as few parties as possible, but since at the end of the day you have to trust somebody if you don't trust Apple the only really secure move would be to not use iOS devices at all.

First thing to do is sell it as driver-assistance technology. More drivers move to the "just open and close the doors" role (aka the "man and a dog" factory of the future model.)

Then you can let drivers just not be replaced when they retire. If the drivers union kicks up a fuss and they strike, well, great -- ask them to take the next day off too.

Honestly, pages like this hurt the free-software movement much more than they help.

Someone might randomly stumble on this page and see "oh, supporting the free-software movement means using newspeak" and decide it's a crackpot movement on the same level as Alex Jones.
It looks like most of the frameworks for ML started before Rust's 1.0 stable so it's no surprise we're not seeing it in those arenas. Since GPUs and CUDA in particular play such a heavy role in ML I also wouldn't be surprised if some projects chose C/C++ to avoid maintaining multiple languages (CUDA uses C kernels compiled by a proprietary compiler).

From my understanding, most ML work isn't really done at the algorithm level but at the data level, as in manipulating data and experimenting with a variety of existing implementations. Since we have so much experience already available in optimizing C and there's not that much actual low level code to write, it makes sense to stick to C.
Yeah, no, I don't think that is the job for an IDE. Maybe for you on your desktop, but your software should work regardless of any IDE or editor.
I believe Riot is the future not because of its security(its attention to such is a great, great bonus) but because it's positioned itself so well as a credible successor to IRC.

It's worth finishing I think — I enjoyed it, but that's not much to go on — but it is definitely the type of book that should remain unique in your collection. The eighties pop reference angle is interesting for those of us who had parts of their childhood in the eighties, but it is not something you would want to see repeated in a second or third book. A gimmick that works well once.

Reminds me of House of Leaves (Danielewski), which employs typography and layered (fictional) authors in a very compelling and unique manner. I can't imagine ever reading another book like that though (although I know I'll enjoy rereading it in the future). Any copy-cat would seem like cheap clone compared to the original.
No, you were supposed to read the whole thing.
Technically? There's nothing stopping them. For that matter, there's no stopping Google from doing the same. There's also no stopping Apple from patching LLVM so that only patched versions of OpenSSL are ever compiled against. The question is how paranoid are you and what is your threat model?

We have to trust someone, eventually. This is especially true for the 99% of the population who doesn't have the skill to compile source themselves (nor should they have to).
Nope, only VP8 (which is dead). I meant fixed hardware acceleration (Intel Quick Sync). Draws a lot less power than the GPU. This is the full Quick Sync acceleration sheet for each generation:

Version 1 (Sandy Bridge)
Quick Sync was initially built into some Sandy Bridge CPUs, but not into Sandy Bridge Pentiums or Celerons.

Version 2 (Ivy Bridge)
The Ivy Bridge microarchitecture included a "next-generation" implementation of Quick Sync.

Version 3 (Haswell)
The Haswell microarchitecture implementation is focused on quality, with speed about the same as before (for any given clip length vs. encoding length).[citation needed] It has seven hard-coded quality/performance levels (called "target usages"), compared to the three in previous generations. The highest-quality TU1 setting is intended to be higher quality than Ivy Bridge's version, and the highest speed TU7 setting should be faster, higher-quality, and more battery-friendly for mobile devices.
This generation of Quick Sync supports the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1 and H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 video standards.

Version 4 (Broadwell)
The Broadwell microarchitecture adds VP8 hardware decoding and encoding support. Also, it has two independent bit stream decoder (BSD) rings to process video commands on GT3 GPUs; this allows one BSD ring to process decoding and the other BSD ring to process encoding at the same time.

Version 5 (Skylake)
The Skylake microarchitecture adds a full fixed-function H.265/HEVC main/8-bit encoding and decoding acceleration, hybrid and partial HEVC main10/10-bit decoding acceleration, JPEG encoding acceleration for resolutions up to 16,000×16,000 pixels, and partial VP9 encoding and decoding acceleration.

Version 6 (Kaby Lake)
The Kaby Lake microarchitecture adds full fixed-function H.265/HEVC Main10/10-bit encoding and decoding acceleration & full fixed-function VP9 8-bit & 10-bit decoding acceleration & 8-bit encoding acceleration.[13][14]
>Boston did not have a Jim Crow system – if a black child lived in a white area, he could go to the local mostly white school.

So you are arguing that Boston was so racially tolerant in the 70's that they had no racist policies either explicit or implicit, and that a black kid could go to a white school completely unmolested? That they wouldn't be yelled at or beaten? That they would be welcomed with open arms?
Yeah, that's bad. On the other hand, well-intentioned voting rings due to lack of familiarity with how HN operates (which seems to be the case here) are forgivable if people email us at hn@ycombinator.com and promise not to do it again. It's the more insidious types of vote manipulation that are most worrisome, and I don't see that here, just overenthusiasm and a case of noobness.

The "76000 millionaires" number might be a little misleading. I've lived in Silicon Valley since I was 3. I bet that a lot of those millionaires are home owners on the Peninsula who have nothing to do with "Silicon Valley" as we commonly refer to it (the tech industry). My Grandpa, for example, was a high school teacher all his life. He bought a home up in the Burlingame hills back in the 60s or 70s, and that thing is probably worth multi-millions now.

We're actually launching our new SaaS for bloggers in January 2017 called the Blog Enhancement Suite, but we've spent most of 2016 working on it.

It basically allows you to plug in a community to your blog using a widget that will use the core of our community voting platform Snapzu (that launched in 2013). There are other widgets out there that bloggers can use, such as Twitter Timeline, Pinterest, Instagram, etc, but all of them are redundant, showing duplicate stuff that's already on the blog, and don't really add anything for engagement and revenue like we plan on doing.

Biggest Challenges:

1. Getting the word out (mostly for feedback at this point), so that we can continue improving our landing page so that people understand it better and see the value proposition.

2. A/B testing to figure out what works and what doesn't. This is tough because of the small sample sizes (because of challenge #1 just above) and because it requires a lot of re-writing copy/text.

Unexpected encounters:

The way the App Store works is that the app is signed by both apple and the developer's private key. Without the developer's private key Apple is not supposed to be able to sign the app in a way that the App Store would upgrade an app and consider it to be the same app. But of course Apple could modify the app store or ios in a way to remove those restrictions.
