Does anyone care enough about your product to actually go to the trouble to do that? It seems that in terms of actual risk management, managing an on premise version of everything is mitigation out of scale with the actual risk.

Besides, a disgruntled employee of your company is far more likely to be malicious than a disgruntled employee of some random cloud services company. What would be their motivation? They probably don't care about your code at all -- but your employees -- they certainly might. Has there ever been a case of a disgruntled Github employee hacking a customer company's production code ever in the history of Github? Has there ever in the history of SMEs been a disgruntled employee that harmed his own company? All the time.

So what risk is more realistic to mitigate? The hypothetical disgruntled employee at a vendor that probably has never heard of you or employees sitting right there in the office with you?
I also went through that process with my app Picfx. Using OpenGL for filters is much quicker, the only downside I've found is being limited by the texture size, I did set up a way to process images in tiles but ultimately decided to just limit images to the texture size. Great info on the colour space, I'm sure it will be useful.
No, you are confused. The big bang is not happening right now "in our frame" since we can turn on our radios and hear the CMB.
If you're taking data from peoples' everyday trips, it's not really anonymous, is it? A clear pattern will start to emerge of where they live.
It's beautiful and unlike the periods before it they are quite spacious on the inside. If you go further back in time, it sometimes gets a bit cramped (i. e. stairs half a meter wide, half the depth of your foot and at an 120 degree angle – basically a ladder).

It's interesting to see that everyone wants to life in them here, but nobody would attempt to build like it again. Even the most luxurious new apartments may have floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, but the ceilings are at 3m instead of 4.5m+.

May be the costs of the solid walls and increased heat loss, or it'd just feel tacky to have ornaments of ivy and topless women on the front of a new building.
Well, ideally everyone is proportionally represented at every level of government. So you'd want a 5/4 split at the top level, where each person has a representative that they like.

You'd almost want gerrymandering, but of a different sort. Traditional gerrymandering makes some districts win by 100/0 and the rest lose 49/51 to marginalize as many people as possible.

But perhaps more fair would be perfect gerrymandering - every district ends up with a 100/0 split. This means you get 5/4 at the top level, while every citizen is represented by someone they voted for.

Districts end up as more of an overlapping blur.
After some research we went with Scribe and it works well.

Our requirements were clean html output, stable and that it works in Chrome and Safari.

Worth mentioning is that the maintainers does not focus on broad browser support.

Thats very nice. Although I wonder what Debian's 'official' container format will be.. almost everyone else seems to be standardizing around Flatpak so it'd be nice if Debian did as well, especially since that will mean Ubuntu (hopefully) will switch to it in the future as well instead of Snappy, same as the whole Upstart -> SystemD story.
Im speaking demographically and from what I see on Facebook a lot of older people who have no clue how the Internet works like we do here. They believe everything they see on the web and share it. They don't use Gmail as a whole and as for the politics comment ... older people were a huge majority who voted for Trump. These are facts ... not someone trolling here.

Long time ago, when I was learning Java, I liked Eclipse.

Currently on my desktop, I mostly switch between Atom and Visual Studio code, because I mostly write for nodejs, or I am trying out something weirder, like purescript, or elm, or clojure, and these two editors usually have good plugins to deal with them.

When I am on ssh, I use vim.I develop stuff in vim, in tmux over ssh often, because that is the simplest I can drag my colleague to my work env to help me :-)
it depends on the caching layers you have built on top of it, but the API did power parts of HillaryClinton.com during the election.

> I see the practical side of things, which is either I take it or leave it

I think you're seeing it from a personal POV, where you have a tradeoff where you've made a valid choice with what you have found to be a net gain. And you did explicitly mention that you're speaking for yourself initially. This is all a fine POV to have and I mostly agree with it; I know many people who have made a similar analysis and come to similar resolutions.

My point is about "I've said this in previous posts as well, nobody forces you to take an H1B, you chose to take it", which is a more general statement about all H1B takers. I find it a bad precedent to set to accept that kind of argument; because like I said the discussion isn't about choice in the first place (and accepting such arguments distracts the decision). Like I said, it's fine to disagree with "H1B putting employees on a leash should be stopped", just don't use choice as an argument there :)
Monitoring ARMv8, ARMv7 and ARMv6 Servers
I don't believe so, or at least I've never heard about Russian F-16s. Iran still flies some old F-14s though.

The USAF seems to be pretty strict about not allowing more modern fighters to end up in private hands. There are a number of F-86s, F-104s, F-5s and I believe one F-4 Phantom still flying around the US in the hands of private collectors and air museums but nothing newer like F-14s, F-15s, F-16s or F-18s.

Edit: While I've never heard of any F-16s in Russia I'm sure the Russians have had plenty of time inspecting and probably even flying F-16s, it was a very widely exported plane.

> Prof Sharpe said a new treatment could be available soon: "I don't think it's massively long term, it's quite low-hanging fruit in regenerative medicine and hopeful in a three-to-five year period this would be commercially available."
I use Sublime Text for everything, even my todo lists (https://github.com/tiffon/sublime-to-done)
That definitely feels more Roman. Art Nouveau is more playful, sometimes symmetry-breaking etc. I think the US was mostly doing Art Deco at the same time, which is obviously beautiful in its own right.

It's odd because Taiwan has a very strong IT root, and the Open Source community there is strong. It's true regular PC users don't use Linux, so are the regular PC users in America. Even government supports open source softwares.

The problem I think is that at some point the register containing the encrypted address needs to be written to the stack, where it could be overwritten. So if it was just hashed, an attacker could overwrite both the hash and the plaintext return address, and return wherever they want. Although hashing with a secret salt would solve that. I don't seen any benefit over encrypting though.

One attack I can see is in their model of "the attacker can read all memory" the attacker reads the memory at a time when system() is legitimately called, then the attacker can know the encrypted version of the system() address, and use that to overwrite some other return address with system() and the encrypted version. But I think it would be very unlikely an attacker would be able to do that.

"It works, don't touch it" is the motto. Some of the more brave souls had started moving what they can to newer hardware, dosbox, or something, but the machine it was supposed to replace was literally within 5 feet of the control panel, ready to boot.

There exists a reference frame in which the distance between the Sun and earth is so compressed by Lorentz contraction that the light leaves the Sun and arrives at the earth in 1 second. In relativistic terms, the photon leaving the Sun and arriving at the earth can be considered to be simultaneous.

The only example that I know of in support of vostok's statement are a couple of HFT trading firms in Chicago. If you have the right chops, your comp _starts_ at 500K there, and then quickly goes up to about $1M/yr. But you do need elite chops, and you do have to live in Chicago, and you do have to work in an HFT firm, which is, shall we say, not for everybody.
I remember hearing about laparoscopic surgery and ultrasonic treatments for gallbladder and kidney stones while growing up. My dad was a surgeon and that was a large part of his "business", but he was really excited about the advances. However, the earlier surgery of opening up someone's abdomen often meant days of stress about your patient lying in the hospital and potential complications. It was a job where you were often working on people who first met you when they seemed relatively healthy, but with some pains, and were quickly getting worse. "Rounds", where you toured every patient in the hospital to check on their recovery, was a part of every day of the year, and it was nominally unpaid (though the time and attention was included in the "package" of treatment).

At things like holiday period cocktail parties I definitely heard, especially spouses, talk about how those changes would be dangerous since the surgeon wouldn't have a full picture of what was going on in the abdomen, etc. (Sometimes it's safer not to wear a seatbelt, too!)

Anyway, I think that at the same time that gallstones and kidney stones became less labor intensive there were so many new things than needed general surgeons than there was no impact on labor.

Back to your question, there seem to be stories about curing caries as a phenomenon somewhat frequently, and they've appeared regularly for decades.

Is this, instead, like developing a good cross-platform IMAP client? Anything that is good enough to replace the large email providers' own apps and web portals gets aquihired. Clearly the programmers must have been skilled enough to handle a large number of arcane edge cases and understood users well, so they'd be great people to have work for them. Plus, there's less likelihood that they continue to keep IMAP access normalized, and then also happen to provide a really effective and easy drop in encryption service.
I just don't find them interesting as a poet. Even a markov chain can produce good poems once in a while.

This is impressive from an AI and machine learning perspective but NLP is one area where I feel there haven't been any fundamental breakthroughs yet as we've seen for images.

Perhaps language is much more complex. Visual processing is present in many animals and so it might be that it's simpler at some level. There are very few animals that have evolved to use language like we do.

So the underlying models must be far more complex than stacking layers of convolutional layers on top of each other.

And compared to the spectacular results in images like Neural style transfer , we're judging these to a very low standard. Here is an actual poem :

“You know how this is:

if I look

at the crystal moon, at the red branch

of the slow autumn at my window,

if I touch

near the fire

the impalpable ash

or the wrinkled body of the log,

everything carries me to you,

as if everything that exists,

aromas, light, metals,

were little boats

that sail

toward those isles of yours that wait for me.”
― Pablo Neruda, The Captain's Verses
Mostly genuine.

However, the "jungle primary" also has an effect. Since the top two vote getters irrespective of party go to the general election, you can't just squeak by a primary and then cruise to victory in a safe district (the Tea Party tactic). The minority party gets to weigh in at the general, so if two Republicans or two Democrats go to the general, the more moderate one is going to likely pull more votes from the minority party.

This pulls people closer to center which tends to favor Democrats.

Burn Fat Faster with Green Coffee Beans
ELI5 (distilled from wikipedia page linked by GP, forgive me any errors):

Web servers use hash tables for storing per-request data. If an attacker knows the hash function (say, SHA1), they can create a few hundred requests that yield the same hash, giving hundreds of hash collisions and creating a Denial-of-Service attack with the same effect as millions of ordinary requests. It's a form of DoS amplification.

A keyed hash function fixes this by keeping part of the hash algorithm (the key) secret. You can turn e.g. SHA1 into a keyed hash function by e.g. HMAC, but that's computationally expensive. SipHash, being a "natively keyed" hash function, is much faster.

> Reduction in unsubstantiated nasty comments. A better conversation.

At the time you wrote this, there where zero nasty comments. Not even substantiated ones.

> Attempting to save a company that appeared at the time to be completely unsaveable.

Why do make that claim? This and similar is repeated here often: "A sinking ship", "Could not be saved even by Jesus", ...
This is completely wrong! Either a company is beyond repair, then no respectable CEO would play the hero here. Or it shows potential for some kind of transformation process, where the company can find a new and successful purpose. In both cases the company is in a fragile state, because it is very hard to measure its true value. It's in a situation that is opposite to a very promising company: there is a chance that this company is underhyped. Yahoo was underhyped and underestimated, probably also by Marissa Meyer.

> Why not? What's different about that league compared to the one you and I play in?

Let me use an analogy here: When you and I are football players, then Marissa would have been our trainer. The problem is that the compensation plan made her also some kind of a Ronaldo.
Your persistence in leaving comments here and there for my humble blog post is incredible!
Used Linux before really started photography hobby. After a while of fumbling with additional WinXP desktop for Lightroom 1-3, decided to start using my work Macbook for photography as well and it has made my life a lot easier. One reason being that keeping laptops working with Linux is PITA.

Lightroom is amazing piece of software for its purpose, but the vendor lock-in of 9 years of raws stored and edited() with Lightroom means I'll need some LR machine unless I want to create my photo library again. On the other hand I haven't seen other as well streamlined photography workflow + raw application.

Of course I can export the good photos as JPEGs/Tiffs out of LR but then I'll miss the non-destructive history of edits and have to rework metadata etc...
Ha, forgot about jupyter!

I use it for prototyping python, javascript as well as haskell :-)

The new $500 Samsung with HiDPI screen? I do all of my development remotely like you, but on an Azure VM. I just want a nice screen to look at when I typing into vim via mosh. At $500, I'm really hopeful that there will be a steady stream of Linux-capable, HiDPI, USB-C enabled hardware for the forseeable future. I already own three chargers that will charge it.

Yes, I love Chromebooks and I'm not that into Chrome OS. Thank you Google!
The company I work at does industrial process engineering, and a few of our customers have plants for which we do automation (PLC programming, visualization, ...) that are fairly ancient (1980s - mid-1990s) and. Some of these PLCs were made by a company that since has gone out of business, and the software for programming them runs on DOS.

MS-DOS, in fact. We tried setting it up on FreeDOS, but apparently only the real thing will do. One and a half years ago, I had the pleasure to install MS-DOS 6.22 on two programming computers. Finding 3.5" floppy disks was ... interesting. But it was fun to see how a freshly installed DOS will boot within seconds, even on fairly dated hardware. Fun times! ;-)

(Some of the visualization workstations at one of those plants seem to run DOS VMs on top of QNX so a single computer can run several displays, but I don't know about the details...)
In Linux, that's a constant in the Linux driver.

The Arch linux wiki is one of the best maintained and up-to-date on hardware issues. It helps that Arch itself tries to ship only vanilla software: as few modifications as possible to the kernel, too, unlike the bigger distros.

Excellent source of information.
No, I'm not trolling. I'm pointing out that there seems to be very little objective criteria for choosing what poetry to consume. So far it seems your argument is that it's taught because "that's the way it has been done".

The civil war is taught in the US because it had a huge impact on the development of the country. The tensions in the south today relate directly to it (confederate flags still fly today). American Idol winners are irrelevant in the context of history so equating them is silly.

Ask HN: How to remember programming language API details?
I should rather ask, does even need to remember? For example; all string functions in Python standard library or the path manipulation API in Objective C. Do you just look up as and when you need it or spend some time remembering/internalizing the API?

FWIW, I am a polyglot developer and proficient in multiple languages. I just do a lookup as and when it is needed. Sometimes I think that if I knew these API calls without having to look up, it would be even better to not break my flow?

What is your experience in this context? Any tips, tricks to remember details which helps you to stay in the zone? I looked at Anki, but won't there be review fatigue, as some Googling mentions?

Thanks in advance.
