> While I 100% agree, it should be noted that this particular RFC predates the Ed25519 RFC by some years.

Sure, I'm not saying this RFC is misguided, just outdated and people should use Curve25519 or Curve448 for their ECDH/EdDSA needs (and stop using foot-bullety ECDSA).
It's not spending, it's culture - or lack of it. Adult audiences are tired of getting beaten around the head by constant explosions, emotionally empty CGI, childish plots and scripts with breathtakingly bad writing, and tuneless Zimmer-esque BWAAAAAARRR!!!! scoring.

It's not that Hollywood has stopped making movies, it's more that it's taken to making the same movie over and over, using the same (expensive) visual cliches and script tropes. After a while the spectacle stops being spectacular. Incredible CGI turns into "Well, that's just CGI" visual filler.

LOTR was an exception because it was already well known. I'm fairly sure a Generic Fantasy Movie with similar effects would have crashed and burned.

If studios want to survive, they need to diversify by becoming less like corporate waterfall-management giants, and more like try-this-and-see experimental startups.

For the price of a single blockbuster, Hollywood could fund an entire generation of new directors/producers/writers.

Find ten or so promising YouTube shorts, give the production team a small budget and some prosumer equipment, get out of their way, and see what they do on a shoestring.

Yes I saw that. I also saw the part where more people passed the basic test than there were available positions.

You can't argue this way on HN, and since your side of this argument is so utterly in command of the high ground, I'm kind of baffled by why you'd think name calling was a good idea.

You have the facts on your side. Use them to win the argument, already.

Protesting Trump's taxes by not paying yours?
Wondering what would happen if a significant number (10s of millions) of Americans refused to pay (and/or file) their federal taxes until Trump released his historical tax records?
The term "fake news" is totally misleading because it conceals political agenda behind it. Yet it is all over the place. Did everybody forgot what propaganda is?

You miss out on the fact that Trump's actions lower America's reputation and attractiveness to the whole world. The immigration process to the US is so complex, and now so potentially volatile, that lots of people who could have wanted to contribute to the US will just want to go to Canada or Europe instead. Even if they're not affected by the 7-country-ban, because they can't be sure that it won't be expanded later.

Trump's EO sent a message, and it was the wrong message. People are listening.

This is going to have potentially decades-long ramifications for STEM, tech, and cybersecurity in the US, among other things.

Given that you are familliar with Javascript already. You can pick up nodejs easily. Using nodejs for a while will give you an idea of what backend development's daily life look like.

Once you understand the common tasks that are involved in backend development, it will be easier to switch programming languages. Python is a good choice for example, it is very versatile and has been used to program various backend server. It is also being used extensively in scientific computing, machine learning and etc.
Unfortunately, you can't. For example, it's impossible to properly install PostgreSQL. Also, no 256 colors support. Currently, there are 733 open issues https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues It's still a beta feature. Nowhere near the smooth macOS experience.
A dumb phone is a privacy nightmare. Use a smartphone with important and privacy-minded apps only, and ditch the social stuff. Use a laptop or desktop for Twitter and the like. That's what works for me (and my phone's battery).
There's a difference between giving your boss honest feedback, and being obstructionist. Encouraging honesty is great, but at the end of the day, you still need to follow orders.
While I don't have your expertise in front end development I share your sentiment and I, too, find myself prone to backend development than anything else.

Python is a great language used often in systems programming. It's also a joy to code in.

Rust is intriguing is check it out. The build and package system is robust.

Go is great, too.

Basically you're on the right track. Now maybe just do some study on concepts like paxos or the CAP theorem. You might look into databases both relational and not as back ends often involve those.
That's not really an advantage. Cab companies are location specific, the network effect is limited by the number of taxi medallions handed out.

It's also a good starting point for local companies to be the Uber or Lyft of their city. For example in Toronto, Hailo doesn't exist and Lyft doesn't operate here either. It would be awesome if a company could just pick up LibreTaxi, pour in some $$$ for marketing and sales and start it up for Toronto.
The relevant page is 31 (pdf-page 33), containing a figure "Share of payment instruments broken down into various transaction amount categories in 2014, 2011 and 2008". In particular, 96% of transactions below 5€ were in cash, and 90% for transactions between 5 and 20€.

A breakdown by age group is on page 33. Unsurprisingly, young people pay by card more often than older people.

Various other figure breaking down card/cash usage along different lines are on the subsequent pages. Poorer people use cash for a larger percentage of their transactions than richer people.

Page 63 breaks down usage by occasion/purpose of payment (gas/restaurant/retail/...).

Lastly, 97% of Germans have a girocard (debit card), but only 1 in 3 have a credit card.
GlobalXplorer: Crowd-sourced archaeology
From my reading on the subject, many Germans did. Some of them were intimidated into silence on the matter, while others acted in support of the genocide directly or indirectly.

Many Germans - whether or majority is up for debate - supported the Holocaust as they understood and/or admitted it to themselves at the time.

As an aside, your grammar is incorrect in your comment. I mean absolutely no offense by this and I'm hesitant to point it out, but if it were me I would want to be corrected. "had took" should be "had taken".
That's a good point - you can use these features browser-side if you can control the browser being used (like in a large company).
Very glad to see references to Bateson here. To paraphrase some other cybernetician[s]:

Oh, yes she does. The head of the DOJ, acting or actual, should be relied upon to raise a notable fuss when an executive is determined to be stepping outside the bounds of legality. Same goes for every other official who takes the oath of office. They take an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution, not an executive's agenda. Resigning is not defending and upholding the Constitution. If, however, an order belived to be illegal and unconstitutional is challenged and subsequently upheld as legal and constitutional, and a person continues to object to carrying out their duties accordingly (based on moral or other grounds), then they should likely follow their conscience and resign. But not beforehand.

You are ignoring a major cost of operating a privately owned car: the time you spend driving it.

In the greater NYC commuter area, people already willingly pay more to live near a train station so they can more easily commute without having to "waste" the time they'd spend driving. (I'm sure this is true elsewhere) People are obviously already putting a price on this. Why pretend the cost of driving yourself is zero? It's absolutely not, unless your time is worthless.

Thought experiment: What's the longest commute you'd be willing to bear, if you drive yourself? How about if the car is self driving? If the answer to the latter is larger, you just proved you'd save literal money with a self driving car, not just figurative -- because you could move further away to cheaper housing.

>How that situation would be different from now?

There's no non-apple branded hardware certified by another manufacturer to run MacOS? That's the difference. You better believe Dell would sell XPS devices targetted to that market if they could.

>For $999 I bet most people would just torrent it. For $99 there wouldn't be enough purchases to justify a lot of additional work, especially support

No doubt people would torrent it - they always do... they do it now! But for $999 or somewhere above your $99 strawman there's a place for Apple to support non-apple hardware and deal with support issues. That's the point of it being so expensive.

>What Apple probably would do is just to release their OS X free without legal restrictions and with some working installer, loader, etc. It's not a lot of work and you're not getting support if you're not buying their hardware.

Of the two I think selling their OS for use on non-apple hardware is more likely than open sourcing. In my humble opinion I don't see them giving away their OS. Honestly I don't ever see them selling their OS for non-apple hardware either but at some hypothetical price at least they'd be opening up a new revenue channel. That wouldn't happen with an open source give away.

I believe that the gist is not really meant to provide accurate numbers in every case. Especially with things like network latency, it is very difficult to say that any time is the 'correct' time because it will be different in any case. The real purpose of the gist, which is posted at regular intervals here, is to illustrate the order of magnitude differences between e.g. the L1 cache and L2 cache latency. It is meant to get a programmer to think about cache locality. If I can keep something in L1/L2 cache, it will be orders of magnitude faster than something that needs to make regular round trips to main memory, which is orders of magnitude faster than something that needs to make regular round trips to disk, and so on.
True, however you're limited to using only one powerup a free user, or 3 as a gold member. Things that count as power ups in Trello, like custom fields & the calendar, are standard in Zenkit and available to all users... Zenkit will also release an API to enable connections to other apps, just as Trello does.
He won by 80,000 votes in 3 states. That's how the EC works. Holding up California, our richest state, as unwelcome is un-american as most of Trump's actions. Why do Trump supporters hate our most successful state yet somehow give free passes to southern hellholes that have little more than dying towns and meth addiction specialists. Its extremely dismissive of millions of votes and the difference between Trump and Clinton is the largest in history for an EC upset. That should worry people. Invalidating 3m voters in any other country would be something the US would criticize. When it happens here its shrugged away with dismissive attitudes by Trump supporters who refuse to see a problem. Of course, if their guy lost the EC and won the popular vote, they'd be singing a different tune.
The executive order was backed by the law though. The President does have the powers he exercised, at least, near as I can tell from the US Code cited in the order. I don't necessarily like the order, or how it was carried out, but I'm not sure her actions were justified on the grounds she cited.

Let's see, going by the index, which technologies are younger than a year (the logic being "would your statement have made sense a year ago" because I obviously can't prove if a technology will still be relevant a year from now):

Internet/web: no

Web browsers: no

DNS: no

HTTP: no

Web Hosting: no

UI Design: no

HTML: no

CSS: no

SEO: no

JavaScript: no

DOM, BOM, JQuery: no

Web Fonts: no

Accessibility: no

... and so on. But maybe you meant just Javascript libraries, which seem to make up just a small part of the content, but ok... Let's use "Module/Package Loading Tools" as a sample, because this thing is really to big to go through everything:

Browserify: Started in 2012. So... nope

Rollup: Started in 2015. No (but close!)

SystemJS: 2013. Nope, sorry

Webpack: 2013. Nope

And let's arbitrarily add the behemoth:

React: 2013. Nope

It appears there was an awful lot of new frameworks in 2013 and that let to the impression of framework churn. To perpetuate that narrative four years later seems to be more groupthink than reality.
Maybe. On the other hand if the manufacturers changed less when they "apply" Android to their phones updates would be easier, but instead of providing a default Android every manufacturer tries to be the "best" Android variant (sometimes with more success, sometimes with less success) and then they say "hey, we've sold it already, updates? Nope. No interest."
Yeah obviously they do make huge money on the hardware, but the question remains: is there some price point where they'd like MacOS run on non-apple hardware?
Ask HN: Thoughts on RFC 7974 an Experimental TCP Option for Host Identification?
I'd love to hear thoughts on RFC 7974 - An Experimental TCP Option for Host Identification. It had previously been rejected for adoption by the TCPM working group for "undesirable technical design for both transport and privacy reasons".

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7974

Abstract

Recent RFCs have discussed issues with host identification in IP address-sharing systems, such as address/prefix-sharing devices and application-layer proxies. Potential solutions for revealing a host identifier in shared address deployments have also been discussed.
This memo describes the design, deployment, and privacy considerations for one such solution in operational use on the Internet today that uses a TCP option to transmit a host identifier.
That's what I was asking. What legal authority does Trump and his administration have? What can they do with the powers legally granted to them, both with the NSA, and with private companies directly?

The wider public is completely ignorant about this, and this should be written up and publicized more.
If you're familiar with JS then arguably the easiest transition route for you would be to start building some node based services on the back-end.

It'll allow you to get to grips with some of the gotchas you get with back-end development with an ecosystem you're already familiar with, once you've conquered those you can then start branching out to other languages and frameworks pretty easily with a solid understanding of back-end principles.

Another benefit of this approach is there's a huge demand for JS engineers who are comfortable on the front and back end at the moment, so it sounds like you're in a great position to spread your wings.

I use Windows 10 at work and Mac at home and find my web development work transfers pretty well across platforms. VirtualBox/Vagrant keeps the environments pretty consistent and the tooling is mainly the same for the work I do (PHP/Laravel, Python, JS/VueJS, MySQL/SQLite). My primary IDE's are VS Code and WebStorm and I use Adobe Creative Cloud for design and asset creation. Git-Bash is a big help on Windows.
> I knew TCS and Infosys were big, but I wasn't aware they were quite that big.

I once worked with an Infosys guy who specialised in their HR systems. Back then ( about 2012 ) they were receiving 1.2 million applications per year for entry-level developer positions.
Well, at least in the U.S., general strikes worked great and were so effective for labor that they were banned by law, and remain illegal today.
I don't think you can go wrong with Python. I can't say one way or the other about Go.

That said; it seems to me (as just one dev's opinion in the U.S.) that Europe -- particularly northern Europe -- has a pretty healthy Clojure scene. Of course, it's not going to compare to Python/Ruby/JS in # of jobs, but if you liked it, I can tell you it only gets more fun as you learn more.

One general piece of advice -- internalize this: https://gist.github.com/jboner/2841832 (latency comparison of different operations) as one or two operations at the wrong layer will overwhelm a whole lot of algorithmic cleverness.

No, that's exactly what the Giuliani story doesn't indicate: it indicates the exact opposite, which is that they did this legally.

Incidentally, I think it's possible to support neither the President nor the media. The National Review had a recent article, whose title was something like 'Trump's order is wrong, but the Left is insane.' It's entirely possible to disagree with everyone who's shouting.

Ask HN: Other CA with API, similar to Lets Encrypt?
Hi,
We started to use Lets Encrypt for automatic certificate generation. Unfortunately we start to get close to rate limits [1], so we requested an increase. Apparently our use case isn't eligible for increased limits, as it wasn't approved (no response, so not declined either). So we started to look for an alternative.

Do you know other CA that provide API for certificate requests? It can be paid. The API doesn't need to be compatible with Lets Encrypt, but it would be nice.

Thank you!

The criticism also hinges on the rather unbelievably public statement of "betrayal", particularly as that dovetails with Spicer's statement that people should "get with the program or get out". This makes political purge a rather inevitable conclusion, and we aren't even 2 weeks in.
That's kind of like saying the 'rm' command is not well thought out, because many people wouldn't want to delete the whole file system when running 'rm -r /'.

You can call it MacOS for researchers if that makes it more palatable. Really it's just one of those "wouldn't it be nice" exercises because there's IMHO pent-up demand for running on MacOS on more powerful hardware than Apple make available.

+1 To add to this, part of the draw of Uber for me is its ubiquity (& Lyft, but it's less widespread). My consumer experience is maintained in different international & US markets.

I don't have to worry about securing local currency before I can get around -- it just uses my card (which doesn't charge a fee to convert).

I don't have to worry about not being able to explain where I'm trying to go across language barriers or various levels of familiarity with a locale -- the built-in map app works the same way in Paris, London, Prague as it does in San Francisco or Durham. The GPS features keep drivers honest as to routes and adds a (small) sense of security as you know your journey is being tracked in case something goes sideways.

All that said, LibreTaxi looks really promising & I really like the premise behind it. Maybe, some day, I'll not want the tracking features, for example. I hope it takes off!
They did not fix the coil whine. Nor the dynamic screen brightness issue. Just FYI. Oh, and the I2S mode for audio is still broken in the latest kernels (headset microphone not recognized, loud pops at power saving switchoffs), so I have to use Ubuntu to get a HDA-enabled kernel out of the box.

Also my XPS13 is 2 years old and the "carbon fiber" cover started to disintegrate along the edges. The screen hinge is a bit loose so it wobbles a bit with movement.

Other than that it's fab :)
Your assumption is that the GPL is a good way to reach that goal. I think we have enough data by now to reject that hypothesis.
