Mods, can we get the title changed? It's for Windows too (and maybe Linux, I can't verify that).

I downloaded it. It's... interesting. It may be a few days before I have a real opinion of it, though.
I believe that's the entire idea of it. That and then the college could selectively decide how many majors of a certain type they need, financially speaking. A college will then be punished financially for pushing out tons of gender studies grads rather than engineers.
GPG 2.1 (via libgcrypt) also supports various elliptic curve algorithms for asymmetric crypto, depending on what version of libgcrypt you have.
Is not another possibility that they'd like to keep face / maintain positive relationships with their network from the school?

I've probably read about 9.5/10 of the last books on a kindle.

I think the format is perfect because of several factors:

1. for books I read through once and never actively reference again, or very seldomly

2. I don't have to wait for the paperback to come out

3. I don't have the eye strain of reading on an ipad or my phone

4. For a large majority of my purchases it doesn't make sense to own a physical copy of the book. It seems like it would be a hassle to own and carry and take up space. (also see #2)

5. a kindle is light and cheap enough that I don't have to stress too much about breaking it or leaving it somewhere or it being conspicuous to have out in public

However, the kindle fails at some important things:
It's not in color, so it doesn't do well for books that are image heavy (even in black and white) - the display is a little too small and any images in the book tend to look terrible for some reason (even though the supposed dpi is relatively high) -which brings me to your point, that in general I find that phones, tablets and kindles are not particularly good at replicating the browsing experience of a certain kind of book.

I don't think all books fall into this category, but some important ones do and I can't imagine not having a physical copy for that reason.

The last one that comes to mind for me is Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software. I like browsing through all of his examples and diagrams and flipping back and forth through the different parts that interrelate to each other.

I've never found an electronic browsing experience that was as good as a physical book. (unless I was at the point of wanting to implement some formal system of organizing and linking my ideas, in which case I think a computer would be preferable)

The kindle particularly fails at this experience, as an integrated piece of hardware / software it's merely competent and has a lot of rough edges. It's not as seamlessly integrated in the way iphones (for example) are.

In Britain at least, popular use of the term "post-truth politics" predates Trump's run for power and was widely applied to campaigns run by the left as well. It's really less about whether specific allegations are true and far more about a rhetorical style in which a campaign proactively makes a high volume of brazenly false claims with the apparent purpose of forcing the opposition into rebutting them rather than the more traditional forms of political lies (denying uncomfortable truths, making promises not intended to be kept, stating hypotheses as facts). But yeah, which side tells the most lies has never been particularly high on voters' list of priority, not least because it's very rare for a campaign to be predominantly honest.
Ultrabooks were created to compete with MacBooks. Apple has only ever sold "ultrabooks", they're just getting slimmer over the years. Like much of the rest of the market. If it was Apple's excuse, you'd need to explain the Surface and XPS 13 and a whole host of other non-Apple machines.

Apple doesn't sell desktop replacements like Lenovo does.
I'm just starting to use Ansible for a major deployment at work, so I am not an expert- can anyone who knows more explain why "ansible_connection" exists as a host definable fact? The controller already knows what host it is connecting to when it retrieves the fact, so why can the host change it?
Replace 'bet' with 'choice.' It's the same message.
That article is four years old. Facebook's app architecture has changed significantly since then, as has the speed at which JS can execute.
This could be a very good move, but while becoming popular with original content is not difficult, making more money could be. This splintering of content is making it more expensive for consumers - buy an Amazon Prime/Video subscription for all Amazon original content, buy a Netflix subscription for all Netflix original content, buy an Apple Music subscription for all Apple original content...

Hopefully these big companies will have the sense to come together in the future and start cross selling at least some of their older/aged content on the other competing services. Perhaps not the very best or the newest in their individual lineups, but others (just like this is handled across TV networks). Every service wanting to become the primary aggregator of streaming content won't work well for consumers.
CD-ROMs such as "Living Books" had this degree of interaction twenty years ago. Not in 3D, though, which I agree is better.

> In Germany, rumor was you basically had to be a German citizen to get a SIM; that turned out to be untrue but I cannot remember if I gave them my (EU but not German) passport

From my experience, you do have to have your passport with you when getting a Sim. They usually make a photocopy of it. (This was from O2)
My eyes don't do fine print very well. An e-book means I get eyestrain, or else (if the print is big enough) it means I'm scrolling all the time. Books (with not too small a print) work better for me.

I'm enjoying the MSCS program online so far and am also doing the ML specialization. I work full-time as a software engineer and just do the coursework part-time. My experience so far is that the assignments and learning are as rigorous as you want them to be.

I'm getting exactly what I'm looking for out of it (a somewhat structured environment to learn in), so for me I would say this isn't a losing proposition.
I was struck by the first line: "35% say they read more than 11 books in the past year"

It turns out my surprise was warranted — this is the number of books that respondents started reading during the year. It doesn't mean they finished any of the books.

From the linked survey: During the past year, how many books did you read, either all or part of the way through?

Setting aside the question of self-reporting bias, this is a material omission from the article. Putting this as one of the "highlights" at the top is very misleading. I think "read more than X books" is generally considered to refer to the number of books finished, or at least substantially completed.

If it seemed to you that anything I wrote intended to argue that persecution and hatred of anyone is "excusable because of X", this was rather a waste of time.

Which is of course a surprise, since discussion of the Palestinian conflict online is ordinarily so productive...
I really like the concept, and I want to use it in full-screen mode (to make it feel more like a first-level OS experience even if it isn't), but sadly once you open a website in full-screen, the rest of the browser chrome goes away. Of course there are times when I'd want it that way, but there should probably be a separate option for full-screen with the browser chrome.

I know this is basically just an early prototype, so I can't really be critical. If anything, it's just such an effective and impressive prototype that I already want to adopt it for daily use :)

It doesn't work like a normal loan. So if you make below 20k a year, then you don't pay anything. But you are not "missing" payments or anything like that, it's just that you make less than 20k, so literally nothing is due. If the balance after 40 years(or whatever it is) is still not zero, then the remainder is forgiven by the government. Paying off the student loan has no effect on your credit score as it doesn't even show on credit checks.

My student loan for getting a BSc and MSc in Computer Science at one of the top universities in the UK is about ~12k total. But it's reassuring to know that if I lost my job tomorrow, I wouldn't have any payments to make until I found another job.
Your resume architecture will change dramatically with every stage in your career. It is not critical for a resume these days to be only one page, but it would be silly for you to include an entire detailed education on a resume for an industry developer of several years.

Your content should be increasingly selective with every position you get, and every award you get, and every a commendation.

It should be very easy for employers to identify what conversation pieces you are ready for. This can be provided in the form of a side project list, a neat contributions list comma a extracurricular, or presentations you provided. Anything on your resume should be something that you can talk about in great detail. For every interview that I've had, I re-read through code Snippets of all projects I have listed. When Review Time becomes greater than necessary, I delete projects from my resume.

You should also update your resume monthly, you often don't understand or remember what new things should be added to your resume unless you do this as a rolling task. This can accumulate until you are finally applying for jobs, where you would then remove things you no longer find interesting or that are irrelevant. This will give you the opportunity to add non technical, yet important things to your resume.

Hi! I'm the director of Georgia Tech's MS in Analytics program (both on-campus and online).

GT's MS in Analytics degree is actually designed specifically for people who are going to go out and work in the analytics field -- it's not a pre-PhD degree, and our courses are targeted primarily at people who want to learn and apply analytics. We have an industry advisory board that helps us target course and program content, and we're constantly working to make sure our coursework is focused to the right cohort. We even have a required applied analytics practicum (both for on-campus and online students) where our students work on analytics projects for a wide range of companies and organizations.

Perhaps other degrees are different, but the MS Analytics is a very practice-focused degree.

What does that have to do with anything? I agree with the rest of your post, and I actually think that's magnified by my Kindle since I always carry it with me so I can zone out on the subway or during lunch.
Rust Tidbits: What Is a Lang Item?
Hi HN, basically a one-man show here. Hypergolix just entered its alpha release, and I thought it would be an excellent opportunity for feedback. The fundamental motivation of the project is for individuals to retain autonomy over information they store on untrusted third-party servers; the hope is that Hypergolix can make "IoT" development easier with client-side encryption than without it.

2) Release feed prewritten BS to media that describes what you already planned to do in terms that aligns it with the above goals.

> I did both my BSCS and MSCS at Georgia Tech. While I have many complaints about the school, the quality of the classes is not one of them, for either the undergrad or grad programs.

I also did BS and MS at GT, and while I generally share your experiences there were 3 or 4 truly disappointing classes during my MS. They didn't ruin my overall experience, but I can see how someone could happen to have more experiences like those and fewer positive ones and come aware with a very different perception of course quality.

My overall opinion of GT is mixed, but rigor or the courses is not one of my top critiques.
In additional to PR bullshit...

If you make enough jobs the Fed will induce a recession:

https://hbr.org/1996/01/a-country-is-not-a-company (an article I can imagine quoting extensively from now on...)

You can make a company bigger and more prosperous by employing more people, theoretically, forever. A country doesn't work like that - but Trump probably thinks it does.

Even if this were true, companies creating more jobs wouldn't necessarily be a good idea.
What a shameful and frankly frightening state of affairs we're in when this is the case. Why does the party of small government get a pass on this? Any self-described republican with even the vaguest interest in free markets should see a myriad of problems with the incoming administration. I hope they can actually grow some balls, stick to their guns and shut this travesty down before it really gets going.

Well, not all groups do the same thing with their newly reclaimed income. If memory serves, lower income folks will tend to spend all of it because, well, it's expensive to be poor and they're trying to catch up to some basic level standard of living. Middle class – it's a mix, but much of it gets saved or invested. The rich – they don't spend the extra money – they invest it (often avoiding taxation or comparable taxation).

So, IF that's true, it might make this more viable because the rich and upper middle class are less likely to be holding student loans, and thus, this money is more likely to be spent.

Why? Somebody can play videogames all day, because it's fun, and then die all of sudden. They didn't produce anything valuable, and yet, they didn't feel bad about it.

It's only painful if you rethink it, and basically say, I should have spent my time doing something else. Which is a paradox of choice.
You're right about that. I didn't want to extend too much on that part and I can see how it can be misinterpreted. I didn't mean that Apple's direct reason to build Quartz was because of X. But it is true that X didn't have any reasons to be used back then in the mid-90's as well, specially coming from NEXT with it's Display Postscript compositing manager.

High-assurance systems of the 70's-80's used formal specification in languages like Z and VDM to increase correctness of software. These were often hard to use for a lot of people involved. The ASM's did similar stuff in a way that's easy for programmers and even non-programmers to understand. Lots of tooling got built for various stages of ASM development. These and similar things like B method (esp Atlier-B) were used in industry to produce highly-robust software proven correct from requirements to design to accurate models of code.

Most verification uses Coq, Isabelle/HOL, etc these days. Closest thing to this with adoption is TLA+. People using that or frustrated with the difficulty of semantic methods definitely should look into ASM's.

Survey of many uses of the method:

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/81aa/8726219c4145ff6b893283...

Use in verified compilation is particularly interesting. The components are so small vs what I see in semantic methods. Here's the best one that I'm aware of:

I get the point, but the current state of affair encourages me to make it even worse. I'm currently working on a tweetNaCl-like library that will integrate not only Chacha20, but also Blake2b and Argon2i, based on the same ideas.

The repeated application of simple ARX based rounds is a damn good idea: it's efficient even for software implementations, it's often "naturally" constant time, and it's simple. Implementing this stuff is easy: if it's Valgrind clean and passes the test vectors, it probably works. It also makes audits and reviews much easier.

Similarly, Wegman-Carter authenticators such as Poly1305 are kind of a no-brainer: no forgeries are possible unless you break the cipher itself! Also, fast. Modular arithmetic and potential limb overflow makes them harder to get right but still.

Finally, there is simply no escaping elliptic curves. I don't trust the NIST curves. 25519 is not too complex, fast, and doesn't leave enough space in its constants for a backdoor (DJB made sure the design constraints were tight).

I mostly agree with this article, but I don't mind a monoculture if it means I get boring crypto.
Why personify crypto? Let the math alone be the driver in this domain. What is solid and true will eventually trickle up.
Asking the wrong questions – Benedict Evans
Anyone have experience with this program without an academic CS background?

As someone with a BS in Materials Science & Engineering (at best a tangentially related field via sparse EE coursework) who does some level of programming at a tech job now, I'm curious what my prospects for admission would be. I'm confident I could handle the coursework, provided I could get my foot in the door.

As a related question, they mention taking courses to fill holes - are they receptive to Coursera offerings?

It doesn't need to be that thick or that wide even. Consider the Magnus EN1080 [1]. It's a bit taller than a mac mini, has an i7 and a GTX 1080. It's got the liquid cooling you seem keen on too.

I don't agree with the title, even though it's the original from the source.

The author argues that technology has made us more productive, and as a result we spend more of our time doing ancillary tasks (e.g. writing emails, attending meetings) and that since this isn't directly producing value, it's reducing productivity.

I'd argue that as the work has become more complex-- designing software is not as easy as say manufacturing the same widget 200 times each day-- the planning tasks (e.g. writing emails, having meetings) have grown, though perhaps not entirely linearly.

The author also implies that people are spending more time now looking busy and being busy, perhaps over fears that if they completed their job in 16 hours and spent the remaining 24 hours of the work week twiddling their thumbs, they would be fired.
