That doesn't really get around the problem; I could install a tap upstream of the miner, and interdict any blocks that get mined. It might even be worse than the current model, since the value of the work being done is completely exfiltratable (i.e. if I steal the mined block I get all the reward, whereas I might have to work to extract value from stolen computation results).

Ask HN: How do you find more clients as an independent contractor?
I have recently left a full time position and am having trouble staying afloat during the job search. I have experience working with clients as I've done this for a few years successfully but since leaving my day job my previous clients have found new developers or I've exhausted my list of current clients. I have full-stack experience with Node.js and PHP and use frameworks such as React, React Native, and AngularJS. I really also enjoy designing beautiful UIs and have Photoshop and some Sketch experience. I've considered trying upwork and freelancer but it seems very hard to score a project with even my lowest rates because I am in the US.

How do you find your clients or what services do you use that is actually worth your time?
I hear you, but I think some of that is some sort of blind support, rather than an informed opinion that many of the viewers would necessarily repeat. Just a matter of wanting to cheer your team on with no regard for fact or not.

There's also a factor of people from the other side going there. Or people just curious.

Overall, I don't think that it's a good idea to use mere traffic as a way to determine influence.

In the same vein: libhydrogen [1].

Both the API and the underlying primitives are still moving targets, but one of the motivations behind this project was to revisit the NaCl/LibSodium/SUPERCOP API to build something more difficult to misuse.

In particular, users never provide nonces. Contexts are mandatory everywhere. A broken PRG is not always catastrophic. Operations requiring keys have a dedicated keygen() function (eventually, keys may have their own type instead of generic byte buffers). There's no crypto_stream_* API, but a randombytes_buf_deterministic() function.

libhydrogen is not meant to replace libsodium, but the libsodium2 API may resemble more to it than the current one.

Don't people pay good money for machines that generate white noise to help them sleep?

This article contains so much misinformation and silly inaccurate hype that it's almost painful to read for those of us in this space. I mean even for Wired.
I'm going to answer my own question - I tracked it down to a bug in lattice-core that occurred when it couldn't parse incoming JSON, and for some reason it killed the socket server. I fixed it by rescue the JSON parse and all is good now.
I don't understand why 20k is such a challenge for web developers. I don't think I've ever gone even near 20K for HTML, CSS and JS combined. My current blog, which is the most bloated one I've ran yet, is still only around 17K.

I do roll all my own code (never touched jQuery et al), mostly because I can and I find it weirdly enjoyable. But threads like these do make me wonder if all these nice tools we have these days are really just a crutch for bad programming practices. I mean I know tech jumps exponentially with each iteration but I swear the performance gained by newer technology is just eaten up straight away by developers writing heavier code to accomplish the same things as before.

I know this all sounds hyper-cynical and I do like my compositing display manager with wobbly windows et al so I'm hardly in a position to moan about bloat. But I guess my rant is about how poor web markup is for expressing modern documents (let alone full blown web applications). Well that, and I just needed to rant because I'm stuck in a hospital waiting room at 1 in the morning...
You have a good point. As a specific solution to that problem though, I would suggest Rufus. It runs without system privileges.
I can't share your rosy picture of the profession. The default librarian is still the natural enemy of intelligent, creative nonconformists, surely? Having no subject expertise but knowing roughly where to find a mediocre non-answer to any question in a small library is such a depressing achievement. Sorry for the negativity, but I don't think the type I'm describing is a fantasy. It takes a certain mindset to be a "default librarian", and of course the subject of the linked article is quite different.

Also:
http://lj.libraryjournal.com/blogs/annoyedlibrarian/2009/10/...

"There are plenty of very smart, passionate, and dedicated librarians out there, but there are also plenty who aren’t at all bright or competent. Anyone who’s worked in a library knows this. This has always been the case, because the MLS has always been a relatively easy degree to get."
Starting with not saying things about subjects he does not understand like they are the absolute truth would be a starter
Jeez, just when I thought Microsoft was getting better about letting people...actually download their software... they go and create pages that display completely different things based on what OS you're running.
If you're either using Disqus to provide commenting on a website you run, or leaving comments on other sites, with commenting provided by Disqus, you might want to check this out.

I found that links in Disqus comments on one of my sites were being hijacked and redirected to redirect.viglink.com. Other Disqus users have reported links being hijacked and redirected to avantlink.ca [both ad networks].

Needless to say, this has been introduced by Disqus at some time in the fairly recent past [links in Disqus comments on my sites worked fine, previously] without telling their users they were doing this. Unbelievably underhand behaviour!
Good design is apparent; great design is transparent
No, it's not Darwinism. Social Darwinism has nothing to do with Darwinism except for its name.

Jesus when I see how you dare look down on people who lack basic needs and discard their opinion, yet in another comment state such bullshit as that, I can't help but look down on your, and I feel sort of bad for it. Help yourself, educate yourself on what Darwinism.
OK, and what does living standards look like for all of these people?

Would you rather live in 1950s SF or 2017 sf? Would you rather live in 1950s bengala desh or 2017 Bengala desh?

How about 1950s third word or 2017 third world?

Yes, there are costs to a growth centric economy. But there are also benefits. And apparently the benefits massively outweigh the costs.
As noted elsewhere, that's the beauty of mirrorless system cameras (Fuji X, Olympus and Panasonic μ4/3, etc).

I had a Canon Rebel XT for years, but rarely used it because it was bulky. Great photos, but like you said, if you don't have it with you that doesn't do much good.

I picked up an Olympus PEN E-PL6 two years ago and with a standard prime, it fits in a jacket pocket or small bag. Doesn't fit in trouser pockets, but it's small enough to carry around on vacation without being a nuisance. And can still take an assortment of lenses (I regularly use a 9-18mm wide angle and a 17mm prime).

My wife uses a Canon S100, which is truly pocketable. And still produces a way better photo than a smartphone (although that gap is getting narrower by the year, especially in good conditions).

But, all that said, 80% of our photos are with the smartphones, because they're always with us.
Love this idea, but the price is just way too expensive. Anyone know of an open source alternative?
I use this setup, it's fantastic.
IMHO the problem is with compilers (and their developers) who think UB really means they can do anything, when what programmers usually expect is, and the standard even notes for one of the possible interpretations of UB, "behaving during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment".

1. Unless C's variable definition rules are completely different from C++'s, int i; is a full definition, not a declaration. If both definitions appear at the same scope (e.g. global), this will cause either a compiler error or a linker error. A variable declaration would be extern int i;
Indeed this is happening. Pricing out the 250k+/yr quants as the field is levelled.

I'm surprised the hedge funds didn't figure out earlier that having everything proprietary would drive their costs so high. When there are so many players looking for alpha the only variable to control is costs.
Drop an inflatable tube into the hole. Try to maneuver the deflated tube under the dog. Inflate the tube and pull the dog up, using the tube as the "floor of the elevator" (so to speak). You could drop one of those auto-inflating life vests into the hole on a string, get it under the dog, then pull another string to inflate the jacket, then pull up the dog on the life jacket. I'm pretty sure you could get a vest large enough that it would block the hole!
OpenHAB arrives as a snap
AI and IoT are the new India – not outsourcing
And there are assorted "retro" cameras on the market. If the Olympus PEN-F were weather-sealed, I'd own one already (instead of my much less expensive PL-6).
A lot of crude misinformation. But this is happening, it's not just hype. It does help getting people to flip over, though.

True, but your own brand and storefront is very well established and respected for more than a decade. This makes the story entirely unrepresentative of what happens when developers in general quit the Mac App Store.

"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?" /

Trump is the wrong lizard.*

95% of the media you see and hear (more if you just read the paper and watch cable news, which I gather is the vast majority of the US population) is owned by one of five corporations. CNN is telling us, verbatim, that "it's illegal to read Wikileaks," while civil and human rights abuses go on every day in America while the media remains silent on many of them.

Look, HRC and DT are both evil, awful people. Let's stop fighting about which lizard gets in--after all, that's what they want--and start thinking about how we can make it so you don't have to be a lizard to get in. The real people that hold power are the ones that win after every election. One example: https://theintercept.com/2016/12/09/trump-makes-america-gold...

There is an old french word for DRM laws: patente.

The ancester of patent.

Edicted by the authoritarian delusive king known as Louis XIV (a probable model of Kim Jung Il) when printing came. The purpose was to control publication in exchange for oligopoly on content. To make colonial wars, Louis made an awful amount of debts that would take centuries to pay.

It resulted in France being under-educated (price of books where 300x what they costed), making the church, the editors, the king and the authors/artists happy.

Until a wild theater and colporteurs appeared ignoring the administrative borders and leaking the contents in cheaper ways. They shipped the contents coming from all Europa but forbidden on the local territory. Boring pamphlets about the possibility of living in a world where the random of birth would matter less than merits.

Then, from Jacqueries to Jacqueries, one day, the 90% that couldn't live because of an excessive fiscal pressure on the poorest while the richest did not wanted to pay asked for the convocation of the Third State to discuss the fiscal equity problem ... somewhere around 1789.

History may not repeat itself, but is sure does have some hiccups...
In reality it does nothing if the party that's going to indemnify you does not have funds to do so. You are much better getting insurance if you really think there is a risk of something like this happening to you. There is a much greater level of protection than a mere clause in a contract. As a contractor, you should never agree to such a clause unless you are a big company capable of covering such a clause. If you a contractor put in such a position, go get insurance and make the company putting in the clause pay for it. That's the cost of doing business with them.
Numerai is generating an unprecedented amount of hype articles.
I should've been more verbose. You cannot calculate the signature client side without leaking the key. So you need a server. That step is identical to what this "serverless" implementation is doing.
That does not make sense for the Mac App Store. Mac Apps will only run on a computer.
You're combination is protected under the fifth, but you can be compelled to unlock your computer using that combination, which is exactly what the judge is ordering in this particular case.

And don't complain too me that it's essentially the same thing; this is the judge's reasoning, not mine.
Completely unrelated to the article: Why do sites (like this one) increasingly do some hacky javascript-based non-native-scrolling that makes the UX shit? Is this just because I'm on desktop and it's actually well-suited for mobile or something? Or is it just designer-bloat so sites can demonstrate what a special snowflake they are? Or is there some utility I'm missing/am I just being oversensitive?
In the simplest terms, Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a script you load on your site that then loads additional (arbitrary) code based on conditions (which are executed client side). In the case of something like GA, let's say you want to track a new website activity or maybe want to pass data to a new custom dimension. Without GTM, you would update your GA javascript file. With GTM, you would make the update within their interface and that new code would get injected into your site. This enables (for right or wrong) the analytics team to manage what / how data gets collected in GA.

Within GTM you have the ability to inject html, javascript, css OR in many cases they have a wizard where someone less technical can put in some info and the code is generated. You can also use conditions to determine which code should load. For example, if page URL matches "orderConfirm" then execute this. Moreover, it gives you the option of when the code should run (immediate, DOM ready, onLoad).

Aside from GA, most companies have a shit load of 3rd party scripts that run on their pages, so GTM provides a central place to manage everything.

One problem is that anyone with editor access to GTM can inject just about anything (unless you block custom scripts within GTM which has other implications) and those deployments are real-time and done directly within the GTM web interface. I'm a developer on the marketing team, so I'm a fan, but it's risky in the wrong hands.
I suppose this sort of ambiguity is what drives the passion of Rust and Go programmers.
That's the idea. XFCE doesn't deal well with hidpi.
Ok thanks. The way it's worded it still sounds like the group was a butter/margarine mix, so not a clean comparison.
I think that without knowing the y-axis of that chart it's hard to judge whether it's really not worth it to even be listed.

Mac apps are more niche than their mobile counterparts. Why is a discussion for a different time, but _selling_ niche products is very different than freemium or even paid mobile apps.

If sales are low on a daily basis I'd say the downloads came from users who knew what they wanted and just needed a way to get it, which is what I suspect is happening.

I'm not trying to defend the Mac App Store here, obviously it leaves a lot to be desired as it related to discovery. I'm not sure if we can blame Apple for that or not though. Desktop app stores never really took off with steam being the only exception. And steam isn't for apps.

The only real advantage I see the MAS could have is credibility when it gets to subscriptions. Let's see how Apple will handle that.
I believe you didn't do it seeking publicity, but you definitely got some.

It's been a while since I had to unsubscribe from something (because I avoid it), but I only wrote that comment after searching for my subscriptions because I remember it being difficult. First place I looked was the App Store. Second place I looked was the iTunes store. After some hunting I even got as far as opening Settings and completely missing the fact that I could select my Apple ID.

I actually don't think its purposely hidden. Saying I'd be impressed if anyone found it without googling it was probably a slight exaggeration, but it certainly isn't intuitive to me.

As far as emails go, I didn't know that, and you must be seeing something I'm not. I get a receipt with a bunch of links to Apple support. Tried every link and none of them take me directly to the subscription.

The point is less to do with Apples implementation of subscription service and more to do with my lack of trust behind them in general. Apple might do better than most, but I've been burned one time too many.
It reminds me of these two projects:

> if I steal the mined block I get all the reward

How would you steal a block? Changing the target of the payment requires recomputing the nonce.
I don't inline CSS or images either, but I did give them a long expiry time (a year). The first hit to my blog [1] might not be that fast, but subsequent hits should be (it's mostly text anyway). The CSS file has a unique name, and when I change it (it doesn't happen that often (last time was May 2015) it gets a new filename. Also, I serve no Javascript.

I do have one external bit---a block pointing to my Amazon affiliate account (which might have Javascript, I don't know, probably does). It's disabled for mobile devices (via CSS---I use CSS to change the layout to make it more mobile friendly).

I had used meetup to find local non-political hobby-type interest groups, I don't recall agreeing to become part of a political resistance movement when I signed up. Now they're overtly political, I do not want to use it. I'm not pro-trump, I'm not even a US resident. But when you make the non-political political, I lose all interest in using it.

Yeah its the law
Indeed; if you must use electricity to get heat you should use a heat pump which is 2-3x as efficient as resistive heating. A resistive load is 100% efficient. A heat pump moves heat from outside to inside the home so for the same electricity you can get 200-300% efficiency. (Make sure you get a scroll compressor though; the heat they put out is quite a bit warmer than the older piston-style compressors).

If you're thinking this sounds a lot like an air conditioner you are correct: Most residential heat pumps are just A/C units that can be run in reverse during the winter. They work well so long as the ambient temperature is high enough to allow the liquid refrigerant to evaporate (some low-temperature models can effectively heat a home when the outdoor air is around -10 deg C / 20 deg F).
[author of the article]

The RTL dump format does look a lot like Lisp, FWIW; see: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/RTL.html
or this article I wrote a while back on it:
http://developerblog.redhat.com/2014/09/16/improving-gccs-in...

(This aspect of GCC is probably the oldest, written by RMS back in the late 1980s, I believe).
IANAL, but I owned my own tiny business for a few years. Here's what you need to know about indemnification clauses:

- your lawyer will zero in on them like a fly to poop

- you could easily spend thousands on lawyers playing indemnification clause ping-pong; provide guidance that you only care about "egregious" clauses

- the larger/more powerful party will always get the indemnification clause they want

- if a claim is ever made against you, you might be going out of business; that's life

- get business insurance and spend your time worrying about other things

This is not to say indemnification clauses are not legally important. They are! But there's almost nothing that plucky little startup.com can do about GlobeCorp's GC's office devotion to their indemnification clause. It's part of the risk of running a business. Make sure your business's corporate paperwork is in order so the "corporate veil" cannot be "pierced" and continue on with life.
This could be interesting, but without pointing out what's wrong, or knowing your experience it reads like a vague military dismissal of an intelligence leak.

What's wrong with the article? This is not a dispute but a request for more information.
