Well, that's a chicken-egg situation, cars won't get DAB+ radio's until there's DAB+ broadcasts and it won't really be accelerated until FM is closely on the horizon to be shut off.

Similarly it took quite a while for the first CD players to appear in cars, and a lot of older cars only had casette tapes, keeping casettes alive for quite a while longer just for car use.

When I was working on MAAS for Canonical, one thing I always wanted to build was a small cluster of ethernet PXE-bootable x86 nodes. Sadly, I never managed to get Galileo network-booted and Edison devices I had lacked ethernet ports (and the price of the module is a bit high when compared to desktop-sized boards).

The idea of minimum viable computer has always been attractive to me.
Most countries have radio signals that transmit the time (including DST). The issue is there has traditionally been no global standard on how it works - each country/region has their own implementation:

Yes in that case you want to use getrandom/getentropy.

Also note (as TFA indicates) that urandom not blocking on uninitialised entropy pool is mostly a Linux thing e.g. BSD urandom will block until the system the system is correctly initialised.
Not that I'm saying I'm capable of it, but basically I'd want to move into doing my hobbies for a living.

I'm an aikido instructor already, but making a living from it is not very easy (and incredibly poorly paid compared to programming). Also I'm not sure I'd like it so much if it was my entire career.

I'm also a musician, but I'm not good enough to make a living performing or teaching. I might be able to if I had funds for two or three years of intensive practice, training and bloody hard work beforehand I suppose.

But yeah, in dreamworld I would make my living from a mixture of aikido, music and some code on the side, because honestly I'd never want to give it up entirely.

You gotta wonder about the whole vision speech. It would have been a better service to the world to explain where exactly did the idea get stuck: not enough volume, wasn't the platform big enough, is it a technology issue (ad management, the cms), was is the corrupt budget managers of various brands ... idk.

This whole bla bla "our vision is to be the saint content liberators" is a both funny and completely useless. It is not to say that Ev has no inner drive or that Medium is a company that doesn't stick to their mission or vision, but it is just that they communicate:

- hey we tried to do better
- they didn't let us
- we're leaving

WTF :)
Well... yes. That's basically my point. Comparing speed to node.js is pretty much useless because if you really care about speed you're not using node in the first place.
WPF is pretty much alive for desktop applications and its architecture (XAML + Blend tooling) is the foundation of UWP applications.

Windows Forms is officially dead as communicated at Build a few years ago. It is now playing chess with Carbon.

MFC is officially on life support. Way forward for C++ developers is UWP.

Everything from Win32 that isn't required for UWP support is deprecated and Project Centipede is the official way to bring Win32 applications into the new shinning UWP world.
That's all very good advice. The biggest fear is fear itself.

All the more reason for neutral game servers rather than biased player hosting.
Hmm. Downloading the current viz.js from the releases page (v1.4.1) gives me a file that compresses down to 632K when I use 7-zip on its highest settings (7z -mx=9 -mfb=258 -mpass=15 -tgzip a viz.js.gz viz.js).
The licensing stuff is hard. I believe that our license is fair, even if it's complicated.

You're right, many free projects offer the same or even greater functionality, however, you're not taking into consideration time you spend to put everything together. If your client is paying you hourly, Cx is an investment which pays off quickly. We're contractors too and this was one of the reasons behind Cx.

I understand that commercial licenses are not very popular these days, but for a small company like ours, I don't see any other model allowing us to concentrate on support and the product in the long term.

C has a runtime, it is usually called libc and libm on UNIX C compilers, msvcrt.dll on Visual C++, so forth for each C compiler.

Also some would say POSIX is the language runtime that ANSI didn't want to approve.

Since what release? They did have a fairly major graphics update at some point but in the last several years the entire project has been languishing at best.
Ticketable offense probably most of the places. Still something that happens all the effin time.
We designed an architecture for replaceability during the summer for our UAV project. Our current architecture has been based on the Zynq-7000 which is a two ARM-core + FPGA SoC. Here we had custom logic for doing things such as controlling signals to the servos in the FPGA and then software drivers communicating with the FPGA through memory maps. This resulted in a tight coupling between the drivers on the compute platform and the IO hardware.

Our next hardware generation will have a dedicated FPGA handling the communication with the GPS, IMU, servos. The compute platform will communicate with the FPGA over Ethernet. This means that all hardware drivers can be written against a network based interface, resulting in a loose coupling between the compute and IO. This means that both the IO hardware and compute hardware can be replaced individually without breaking the setup, and without having to rewrite any drivers. It also results in high transparency for debugging IO, with the possibility of easily recording and playing back a scenario. You can also test the full flight software on a developer's desktop machine during development without the embedded compute platform.

As embedded compute platforms get better all the time, while the IO stays more stable, this will make it easy to replace the compute every 2-3 years.
Oh wow, thanks for pointing that out. I thought I was having a migraine aura when I noticed vaguely flickering christmas lights out of the corner of my eye.
> Otherwise stopping FM isn't much use.

I think the main motivation to shut down FM is that now that DAB is built-out sufficiently (or so they say), running both at the same time is expensive. FM transmitters are supposedly quite power hungry and expensive to operate.

It will take at least a decade or two to free up the FM band for other uses anyway. Norway will probably wait and use it in a way that aligns with the rest of the world, rather than finding its own local use for the spectrum.
A compromised 1Password application on a Mac can read a lot more than ~/Dropbox. I'm not sure why this problem is specific to Dropbox? Nor why changing the permission would materially change anything? Am I missing something?
The "gen 1" thing was really stupid, but it's not as complicated as you think it is.

A cable can support USB 2 or 3.

A cable can end in the older A/B or in C.

These two are independent. All combinations exist. Most importantly, a USB C port or cable might only support USB 2.0

Whether you get the "gen 2" speed is also independent of whether you use A/B or whether you use C.

The only wrinkle is that micro A/B needs a special extra-wide plug to do USB 3, while everything else fits the pins without changing shape.

People get excited about using USB 3 and USB Power Delivery along with USB C, but all three of those are actually separate.

It'd be easy to move the hidden elements on to the screen when the user clicks the submit button, so they'd be filled in and the form would then be submitted, and the information 'phished'.

The solution to this problem is to inform the user which fields will be completed by autofill, with a "not currently shown" highlight on any fields that are currently off the screen so the user understands what's happening.
Yes. Definitely. I have benefited enormously from doing this in C# for a few years now. Certainly the wins in testability can be significant, but it also isolates the third-party dependency's behaviour and lets you wrap it with something that exposes the interface you actually wanted. Which you can test in isolation and be confident in.

It's a shame it's really really tedious though!
Ask HN: Are startup hiring practices asking too much?
I recently did a trial day at a local startup for a position as a microservices developer. During the day, the conversation leaned more toward DevOps than pure development. This is right in line with my interests, so I was happy when they came back the next day and asked if I would be interested in more of a 50% microservices, 50% platform position.

Then they asked me to come in for another trial day focused on that position. Having just spent 7+ hours there, I politely declined with words to the effect of "7 hours should be enough to make a decision on pretty much anything." And that's not even to mention the code sample, open source project links and extensive resume I'd already sent them. But in reality, I totally lost interest in them. I thought it was incredibly presumptuous to ask for 2 days of my time in-office, and not even offer to buy lunch in return.

Then I see job notices on HN like "Drchrono (YC W11) Looking for Python/Django Engineers" (https://www.hackerrank.com/tests/527036edb11ff/0ca5532381fbebad9fffaa28dc90475f) where they want you to 1) do a hacker challenge 2) phone screen 3) phone screen again 4a) come in for a 3 DAY hackathon (where presumably they keep whatever you produce) after 4b) "learning Django ~ 4-6 hours a week."

This all seems far beyond what's required to make a good hire. Are there really now so many developers competing for the same startup jobs that employers can make such excessive requests? Or does every startup now think that it's a baby Google that can ask for the world, just because?
Grover's algorithm, even assuming that we have hardware that can efficiently implement it, improves the runtime of a brute force attack on AES-256 from 10^49 * age of the universe to 10^10 * age of the universe. Hardly practical. All symmetric ciphers and all hashes are quantum-proof. Key exchange might become problematic, but that is a different problem

The article really makes it look like they've not used it yet. It then goes on to discuss 3 other sites that have installed Watson, and have made no major staff cuts.

Even if there has been testing. I find it unlikely that you'd make staff cuts without running the system in production on parallel for some time... That's just my guess though, but seems like there's a high probability they're putting positive spin on some staff cuts.
I listen to the local NPR music station. My car seems like it's one year too old to have some sort of expandable input, and there's no sensible way to install a Lightning cable or Bluetooth adaptor into it since the stereo system is super-integrated.

Of course, once I do get a car that has a Lightning hookup…I'll probably just listen to podcasts at every possible opportunity. Right now I usually only turn the radio on if I'm going to be in the car for 30 minutes or more, which happens maybe once a month at most.
Well that takes all the fun out, my friend and I are both notorious turtlers and would end up playing six hour matches with a slow crawl of artillery moving back and forth across the map.

I doubt that 4G is capabable of replacing FM/DAB. Radio is broadcast, 4G is individual streams. For a whole morning queue full of cars, that's a lot of bandwidth.

Probably the next generation will be good enough to handle it.

But this still ignores other benefits of DAB over mobile data. One is emergency broadcasts, the other is future-proofing. DAB will probably be a standard for decades. But what if you want built-in streaming in your car, which standard do you support? There are none. You have to have apps. Do you think your car will still get software updates for those in 10 years?

I also think we tech geeks overestimate the popularity of streaming in cars. Hell, I'm a geek but even I actually prefer radio when driving.

VO Genesis Review: Get 95% Off and 6 VIP Bonus Here
Apple is well-known for its secrecy, so prototype management is very important. From the article:

Not much else is known about the device, apart from the fact that it differs heavily from the iPhone we know today, and that very few units running “Acorn OS” exist, with most of them likely being destroyed by Apple, a company in which there is a specific job role in relation to the destruction of prototypes.

This was highlighted in the Pearl Automation NYT article as well, where security was increased.

After an engineer accidentally left a test version of the iPhone 4 at a bar in 2010, Mr. Latimer set up a system to track, recover and destroy prototypes of coming products. Later, he taught overseas suppliers how to shield production lines and compartmentalize information to avoid leaks.

Under Apple’s “need to know” philosophy, he did not even have access to much of the information he helped to secure. And like all Apple employees, he was discouraged from talking about his job with co-workers.

"Former Apple employees try a different management approach at Pearl Automation": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13303726

I'm impressed with the integrity of Latimer, recognizing the importance of building a system that even he, as head of the project, was subject to it.
I just currently locked down a 12 month lease in Saigon, Vietnam. I've been visiting here often the last couple of years and keep feeling pulled back to the city, so decided to commit to being here for most of the time the next 12 months.

It's a "big" city in Asia without being massive. (Bangkok, Tokyo, Manila, etc.) Great coffee shop scene, rooftop bars, restaurants, and friendly expat entrepreneurial community/vibe. In fact, Obama came through a few months ago and gave a talk at one of the co-working spots to some of the local entrepreneurs!

I'm trying to understand this comment in the post:

As it stands now, if you are compromised, whether through a hack, state action, or even a disgruntled employee, you will expose the full contents of tens of thousands of Dropboxes, a monumental security nightmare for your company.

Does 1Password have a web-based interface where you authenticate against Dropbox and it stores the credentials server-side? I didn't think it did but I'm not super familiar with 1Password.

Otherwise the only attack vector is a compromised 1Password application, right? Not saying that's impossible, but if you are opening scenarios to that line of attack then many more worse things could happen even if the app didn't have outright Dropbox credentials.
Absolutely, and Elm bakes the React+Redux model into the language itself and makes it all a lot smoother and cleaner to do - but it doesn't play nice with a lot of JS libraries which you could use fairly easily with React/Redux.

Always tradeoffs, sadly.
Be careful what you wish for, DAB is pretty horrible too.

Forward Secure Asynchronous Messaging Without Pre-Keys
A bit of both. Both were on some screwed-up blacklist, 1st attempts to get them whitelisted ran into comprehension problems due to the words "hacker" and "stack overflow", subsequent attempts ran into difficulty that I couldn't identify a vendor associated with the sites, and only after that was I able to tackle the cultural issue of discussion/Q&A sites being important resources (it helped that both sites came up on the 1st page of results for queries that were directly relevant to tasks I had been assigned).
CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY/BIP65 fixes payment channels without fixing transaction ID malleability, so non-malleability is only a requirement for payment channels to work when we want to free received channel value while keeping the same channel ready for new payments.

Technically, this could be solved by the client sending funds to two different outputs, and switching to output #2 while the settling transaction redeeming output #1 is being confirmed, and vice versa. It's a horrible hack, I know, but it works right now. Of course, the client app should take care of all of this, making it transparent to the user.

I agree with Poon and Dryja that 1MB won't be enough forever, but payment channels is a bit like fiber, the capacity is basically unlimited. If you keep a payment channel open for a week, and then close it, it's completely irrelevant whether you made a single payment or 1 trillion payments over that channel, since nothing touches the Blockchain. In other words: if we are able to clear efficiently enough, it's also technically possible to get by with the 1MB limit, simply because payment channels have unlimited capacity, as they don't touch the Blockchain.

> I'm not against PCs in principle, I just don't understand why the block size wasn't increased and then a fully tested version of LN being rolled out afterwards [..]

Because a fully tested version of the Lightning Network doesn't exist. When it does, this plan will make sense, but that's not yet.

Personally, I'm focusing my attention on something that I know is possible right now: consumer-to-merchant transactions using digital promissory notes issued in exchange for payment channel payments. It's not the most elegant solution, but unlike all other proposed solutions it actually can work right now.

Much like is the case with Bitcoin, by the way. When Bitcoin was released, cryptographers/mathematicians weren't really pleased with it because of its "inelegance". But, in the end, it works better than anything else and it works right now.
