[0] Mid-2014 rMBP 13"
Are you proposing that the first one is actually correct, or are you agreeing that the second one is?
Thank you for your ASKHN about html5 games, it was really helpful.
No, it does not. You're taking this notion of constrained values out of context. ASCII strings in crypto constructions are very common; for instance, they provide domain isolation in hash constructions (where you have a single hash function applied to inputs of different sensitivity, and want to mint multiple logically unrelated hash functions from the one you have). They're also common in versions.

The ASCII we're looking at here is conceptually a hash input. It's not a part of the design of the hash core itself.
All 13" rMBP are dual core, all 15" rMBP are quad core.
Nobody wanted iPhones, they only wanted a tougher Nokia and more Java games...

I love the touch bar and I was really impressed with a form factor and design of the new Mac Pro. I don't find touch bar silly, Apple would not be Apple if they did not try new things and experiment.
> still uses a MacBook or MacBook Pro

This is not synonymous with upgrading their MB/MBP.
Yes! As the author of this article I was completely thrown off when a handful of people responded to with comments about guilt. I don't feel guilty at all for the privilege I have received, and I really tried hard to not come off as guilty-feeling in the tone of the article.

It is unfortunate that so many people jump immediately to feelings of guilt when considering privilege. A better response would be thankfulness for blessings received that you did not deserve and that not everyone gets. No matter your position in life, there are people who have been given more than you and less than you. I think the only useful response to understanding this reality is to feel thankful for what you have been given and to work to help others who received less.

Small side note, Amsterdam has it's issues here and there with crime, for sure, but saying there is only a small "Safe" section is complete nonsense. Most historical sites are completely safe, except maybe for pickpockets, like any major tourist congregation.

The major problem in Amsterdam is the taxi drivers. They refuse to take you somewhere because the distance is not enough for them to make some money on (even though this practice is illegal). They are aggressive, do not know their way around town and are general assholes. The market was deregulated, i.e. everybody with a roof light is now a taxi, they even have fake signs from "reputable" taxi companies.

TL;DR
Amsterdam is safe
Amsterdam Taxis are crazy bad.
It irks me, that this site is not using HTTPS. And wants me to register using passwords
Who gets to decide which laws are ok to break? What do you think of medical marijuana users in the US (still 100% illegal at the federal level)?
I've not read Masters of Doom, but I have heard Carmack describe his school-age self as a huge jerk. However, for a least the past 15 years he seems to have pulled a Gates (before Gates did) and has come across as one of the most genuine, nice people in tech. Not just in big, public displays but in every little thing he does in the constant public interaction that he has.
That statistic includes drunk drivers who where not at fault.

Would you elaborate on this? I read this as meaning that the statistic includes drunk drivers who were involved in a fatal accident but weren't determined to be at fault for causing the accident. Am I understanding your intent correctly?

Assuming this to be the case, I agree that there should be some additional nuance here. That said, it would also need to take into account whether or not their inebriation prevented them from acting defensively to avoid the accident. I'm not sure how this would be done.
I've never heard of zoro.im

Two thumbs up from me as far as the 5510 goes: I've had mine for ages, and aside from some bumps early on (WiFi driver issues solved once I moved to Ubuntu 16.04.1), it's been great!
I agree fully. I have a car, but I commute on the train because I value being able to multitask. I spent half a lifetime stuck in traffic and hated every minute of it.

The future cannot come soon enough for me.
I've forgotten the precise number, but something like 75% of 'convictions' currently arise from plea bargains and not trials. As such, these overreach practices usually escape judicial review, and especially so if the punishment is light (a fine but no jail time).

The only cure for this practice is for a civil rights defense resource like ACLU or EFF to invite those prosecuted to take the case to trial and then appeal verdicts until the practice receives the official rebuff it so richly deserves.
I doubt an elite unit of Swedish chefs has been plotting his downfall for months by orchestrating pointed questions on Reddit.
I often complain that the US has a mindset of "We're different, so what works in other countries couldn't possibly work for us!". In this case, I'm finally proud to say the opposite: It does work for us, so why couldn't it work for them?

I've only been to Amsterdam once, and I don't pretend to even begin to understand their culture or politics, but legalization here in the US has been great. We've got a lot of people looking for reasons legalization has destroyed our society, and they are coming up empty handed. Meanwhile, we're making a ton of money on taxes. Is there anyone who knows why they couldn't/shouldn't follow our example?
Are your messages and files e2e encrypted? They should be.
I was curious about this as well. You can mail them for a "real" trial.
The Angular 1 / 2 situation is a great example. The Rust over Go is some advice based on the lesson learned.
Two things I've noticed that are surprisingly small but significant:

- leaving your home
- talk to people

They switch your mind off some inner loop. As an ex loner that loop was my favorite mode, but abused you end up grumpy, acid, somehow depressed.

Just being on the move changes that. And talking to people even short polite chit chat will feed your brain with .. I don't know .. negative entropy ? external energy that refull your mind in more efficient ways that most your lonely activities, even those you love (music, painting, reading, programming).
The USA intelligence report indicates that he was a tool of Russian intelligence. It's very possible that trump was elected because of this action. He has a lot of responsibility it is the duty of the public to put his actions and ethics under scrutiny.

This isn't intended for userspace developers to use - they should use a libsiphash. This is intended for use where the kernel needs cryptographically strong hash tables and such, which happens about as often in the kernel as in any userspace program of comparable complexity and functionality.
For what it's worth, though the prior XPS line did come with Broadcom wireless on the Windows variants, they give you a full service manual describing how to replace it. It took me about $30 and half an hour to put the same Intel chip that the DE comes with in the Windows one I bought at CostCo. Wireless has been flawless with that chip.
We can't be too hard on them. At least it's real news this time.

The state is beginning to recognise this and is taking steps to try to claw back some power.

My perception is opposite. Over the last 20 years we have gone from a fairly free country to what feels like a police state with the most effective surveillance in history.

Are you actually familiar with, for example, the extent of Snowden's revelations? What an erosion of liberty the Patriot act is? Or how unusual it used to be to see armed security guards in random office buildings?

Almost all modern embedded and non-embedded platforms do not actually have fuses (or separate flash area) for HW configuration and instead boot in some fixed and somewhat sane hardware state and all the "fuse setting" is done by software on each boot.

Typically the "sane hardware state" means enough to execute firmware instructions from somewhere and have some scratchpad RAM. Interesting approaches to this include modern x86 system which boot into state that could not be reasonably described as "sane" (no RAM, MMU preloaded with configuration that should not be normally possible...) and various RISC implementations that boot by loading initial contents of various registers and on-die caches from external serial PROM (which is essentially same way as how FPGA's are configured).

Yeah, creativity is hard. As Ira Glass put it:

> All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you.

(full quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/309485-nobody-tells-this-to...)

I really wish "just make something" was that simple, but for people who are already full of self-doubt, it might not make things any better, especially for people with high standards. There are ways to get around this (see the rest of the Ira Glass quote), but it's not the panacea the article makes it out to be.
This is why I've enjoyed my time taking improv classes. I'm with a group of other complete beginners and failure is encouraged. It has a beginning and end, and whatever happens will only happen once ever. I go home with a sense of completion and accomplishment, but I don't have the feeling of having to show anyone else for validation.
GM, Ford, Waymo, Uber, Toyota, Apple, Volvo and Zoox have all opted to skip SEO levels 2 and 3, due to overtrust and the handoff problem respectively. These are most of the biggest players. The Germans appear to be largely in a state of clusterfuck, Mobileye is making serious amendments to their strategy, and that pretty much leaves Tesla, who are already in too deep with the incremental approach to back out now.
Get used to government I guess.

And the harder it is, the fewer small businesses will exist. Striking down pointless restrictions is a small-business boon. Allowing endlessly complexes rules of commerce is another way of solidifying power for the oligarchy. If only Google or Amazon can sort out the rules without getting penalized to death, then goodbye entrepreneur.

If your ambition is to run a software company, you should learn how to write software. There are many programming courses that can teach you enough to build prototype web apps in 2-3 months.

When the startup succeeds and you hire a technical team, knowing how to program will continue to make a huge difference in your ability to recruit and manage that team.
This has been the single biggest missing tool in the JS ecosystem. I never even realized until I experienced the magic of gofmt. It should honestly be a standard tool for new languages going forward. Kudos to the creator. I'll try it out later today - hopefully it works well for us.
> The "safe" section of the city was fairly small, with the rest of it overrun with harder drugs and crime

Do you have any stat to support this? I've never heard anything like this about Amsterdam

From a quick (and totally unscientific) search on google, the first result report that Amsterdam has less crime that many other cities https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings.jsp being listed 273th vs Washington's 46th and many other cities
As someone who tries to practice CBT for depression / anxiety, this reminds me of a cognitive distortion, all or nothing thinking. Either it's the best in the world, or it's garbage.

One thing that helped me is realizing that there is ALWAYS going to be someone who does something better than me. You are still learning when doing things, you're still getting better.

It's a corny saying but it's true: winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners.

Right, the HDHPs have to cover preventative care for in-network doctors. However, you still have to be careful. I have seen doctors bill for a non-preventative visit if you ask any questions at all about specific ailments during a preventative care visit.
Nonsense. The only way we know to make a secure hash table function is either via universal hashing (academic literature), via non-linear collision iteration (i.e. java) or by detecting an DoS attack (by counting the collisions (i.e. djbdns).
Please look at the literature. It's embarrassing.

A random seed helps, but doesn't guarantee DoS-safeness.
Same for SipHash. Using SipHash doesn't give you a DoS-safe hash table if you use chained hashing. It only makes it slower and hides the seed better.

Secure hash functions do not exist with hash tables. I'm tried of hearing all this nonsense all over. SipHash is a secure PRF, but we don't care for "Pseudo Random Functions", we look for hash functions.
I dumped Apple years ago. Once it became obvious they were abandoning professional users and focusing on the consumer market, I was done (I'd been using Macs since OS X 10.1 - I switched from Linux for a nicer UNIX experience). Each successive generation of Macbook Pros seems to diverge more and more from what I want in a machine.

Well, ok, I have an iPhone SE (nobody makes a decent small android phone) -- but I'm a regular 'consumer' as far as smartphones go :).

My current laptop is a 14" Dell Latitude running Fedora. It's reasonably portable while still having a decent CPU (quad-core i5, rather than a low-power ultrabook processor). If you avoid the consumer-grade Dells and stick with the Latitudes and Precisions you'll get a solid, durable machine that's actually upgrade-able.

I really think people do themselves a disservice by feeling that everything they do has to meet some imaginary bar.

I'm a terrible flute player. I go so long between practices that I sometimes forget where my fingers go, but the simple joy in making notes with a wind instrument makes me smile me every time. The "bar" is set at "just create tunes" not "be a classical virtuoso."
Personally, the only issues I've had have been with some old GTK+2 software and Steam. That's been a little annoying as sometimes I'll spin up GVim to edit stuff, and the combination of GVim 8 + GTK+3 + Unity is still buggy last time I looked.
I really do not get it.

Verizon spends a lot of money for what essentially is a widely recognizable brand, popular destination, and an email service, and they change it?

"I saw it on Altaba"???

All these people with emails @yahoo.com is free advertising for yahoo.com, but guess what, no more yahoo.com? Will they try to force a change of email domain over 20 years and kill the email service for good?

I have no clue now why they bought Yahoo in the first place...

Once the technology is good enough, there is no theoretical reason for a speed limit. I'm looking forward to sitting in the auto-lane cutting code at 200mph while the petrol-heads are doing a thrilling 70 in the manual lane beside me!
I don't like the Touch Bar, but I've grown to hate it less. However it does register unintentional presses regularly. And no, I'm not "using it wrong".

If these are truly unintentional touches, as in, you were not touching the bar at all and it registered a key press, then you probably have a hardware issue. I just replaced a machine that would self press the touch bar on the right side when putting any sort of pressure (like resting your palms) to the right of the track pad.
Don't let HN negativity get you down. This is an awesome project and I'll contribute bug fixes/test cases if we end up adopting it on our team (very likely based on your blog post).
I agree with Firebrand (^above) that if the ice is already floating (sea ice) and it melts it will cause no other immediate displacement of volume (even if a large part of that floating ice is above sea level and even if solid water takes up less space than liquid water). That's an application of Archimedes principle and can be explained here: http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/110645/why-does-i.... Indeed it's land ice melting that causes sea level rise. However, sea ice melting still changes the albedo and does directly contribute to climate change.
Why does living have to have a point?

I generally agree with your sentiment. Anything I do seems to fall so far short of my expectations that it makes me depressed.

My mom used to say "when you reach for the moon, at least you'll climb a tree" but to me the image of man on a tree, reaching out to the moon fills me with hopelessness instead of inspiration.
(Especially!) if your government doesn't give you access to a therapist or if you don't want to suffer side-effects due to anti-depressants, then do :

1. Mindful meditation [free] -> Daily practice (30+ minutes)

John Kabat-Zinn [0] masters the link between science and meditation and has published very valuable books (including guided/audio meditation exercises) [1]. There are a couple of scientific studies which prove effectiveness [2] [3].

2. LSD [$5-10/dose + $25/multi-use test kit] -> One-time experience (every 6 months max.)

LSD however requires one to literally read/understand/know everything about the substance before applying it (minimum literature: "The psychedelic explorer's guide" by Fadiman). Also, order a test kit and test before you ingest. Certain "edge cases"/people should not try it and educating yourself about everything will allow you to decide if it's a good idea in your case or not. In addition, you may be able to access your spiritual dimension, which increases quality of life even further (it is less immediate with meditation).

You may combine micro-dosing LSD with meditation for accessing the meditative state easier (it's quite a challenge for depressed people).

No issues with the escape. My biggest complaint is that I keep accidentally toggling siri when I hit backspace. I'm just going to move siri over a bit or disable it altogether as I don't even use it.

The YC funded startup NextCaller (https://nextcaller.com/) provides much of this information too, and it is available from Twilio for $0.10 per lookup.

The extent of the data available from a phone number is a rather frightening. I'm surprised we haven't heard more about services like this from privacy advocates. Here's a sanitized lookup of a friends number (which is actually a Google Voice number):

Hangouts was very tied up in Plus. You can see why XMPP would disappear around the same time: the big move was to getting everyone in that walled garden.

Rhode Island isn't a random state, it was chosen for a reason.

I will say that I'm live in the US and don't have any real sense of the size of Rhode Island, or Palestine for that matter.
While I understand this intellectually (that is, I know that this is an American-centric thing, and that other societies in the world have a different view), I am curious how this view would be justified?

One could "reducto-ad-absurdum" the statement, and say "To be bedridden and unable to walk is to be free!" - which would obviously be a very absurd statement to make.

In America, part of the reason we feel this way is because of our vast travel distances compared to other areas of the world; it isn't unknown for people to commute to work over 50 miles (80 km) one way. Or to travel that far to go shopping.

Travelling to another state could easily be hundreds of miles and hours of travel. It would comparable to driving between countries in Europe (assuming a similar "interstate" freeway system).

We want that freedom so that we can live where we want to live, shop where we want to shop, play where we want to play, and work where we want to work - and not have that dictated to us based on economic situation, geographic location, etc. If we want to live in the slums, and commute to the "rich part of town" to work (or vice-versa!) - even if the distance is fairly large - we want that kind of choice.

One could argue about other forms of transportation - but those come with costs, and in the US we don't have great public transportation - and ultimately, you are chained to the decisions and whims of the transportation and other people using it; you can't decide where and when to go, and when to stop, or when to be picked up...

So I guess I'm trying to understand the statement "it is freedom not to have a car"? How is it freedom not to have faster, longer distance personal transport? I can understand economic freedom (it's expensive to own a car - and even more so if you have to pay to store or park it), and I can understand the licensing argument - but in general, being limited to the alternative options seems to me to be less freedom, not more.

I'm obviously missing something...

/also - I like to go off-road - 4-wheelin' in the dirt and mud - can't do that without a vehicle (and currently, you can't do it with anything not IC powered that is available to consumers at a decent price - and I don't know if an autonomous ORV would be fun or not - but I can't wait for 4wd electrics that can be lifted and modded with big 44" mudders).
The best argument for legalizing prostitution is because then it will allow for a separation of it and child sex trafficing, effectively undercutting the black market while preventing those unscrupulous enough to promote it from hiding behind the purposefully vague adult escort services.
Oh good. We should crack down on sites like this because you know what was good for sex trafficking victims? Street pimps.

Sigh.
