No, but any concept of good or bad presupposes existence.

My main question after reading everything but the source code is "how's it stored?" - I would assume it just uses a .dit or similar directory, and so is updated on pull, or does it do something more fancy inside .git?

The trap is to look back and assume you can separate A from B. No system is universally maintainable for all new requirements and not all new requirements are predictable.

Further code is always flexible as the absolute worst case is to start over with all the lessons from the first system. However, code that has not shipped is not creating value.

Don't let leaks make you nervous. It's worth presuming your account info will be leaked at some later date, and there are precautions you can take to dampen the blow it has on you. For example, use prepaid credit cards instead of bank-issued ones. That way if your CC ends up on some underground carder forum, it has $0.00 in the balance (and the card can't have a negative balance). Services like privacy.com offer these.

Use burner phones, disposable email addresses. Always poison the well with fake names. Never give out your real name to any service, even if the service demands it. Religiously use Tor for any sensitive topics (Like politics, health). Religiously use DuckDuckGo.

Not sure how they are doing it, but I'd actually do it with a new root commit and branches in git. That way merging is easily doable and it doesn't pollute the files inside your current checkout. Sort of like how github pages works. It'd also let you potentially have multiple issue trackers in a repo if you needed to for some reason.

I'm a SV entrepreneur who is pretty well-connected with the community here (only mentioning this for the sake of credibility).

Maybe it's because I missed Burning Man this year, but I haven't heard of anybody doing this outside of articles on garbage news outlets like TechCrunch that say people are.

Marijuana or Adderall, sure (Meadow and Eaze are doing well here); maybe even the /r/nootropics stack, but not hallucinogenic substances.

I know people who have experimented with shrooms, but they don't consider them a "drug of choice," let alone a productivity enhancer by any means. In fact, one of my acquaintances ended up going off the deep end when he started taking LSD. It was a really sad story.
I'm sure it varies quite a bit from person to person. LSD does have a mood enhancing element.

When I meditate, what my mind does or doesn’t do makes no difference. It really has nothing to do with me. I pay no attention to it. I basically sit as if I am dead, not responding to anything internal or external. If thoughts come, they come. If thoughts don’t come, they don’t come. Either way, I simply sit. It's oddly relaxing and energizing at the same time.

That's not how I would put it. Existing protocols that use full-width SHA-2 aren't inherently suspect for doing so, but new designs that use SHA-2 directly might benefit from doing so. It's worth remembering that most uses of SHA-2 in real protocols occur in MACs and PRFs, where length extension either isn't a problem or is addressed specifically.

Another way to look at it is, not needing HMAC is a feature of SHA-3.

In any case: SHA-2 --- in any of its variants --- remains strong. JP Aumasson, one of the Blake2 designers, is fond of saying that SHA-2 will probably never be broken algorithmically.
Thanks, I would love any feedback!
That's very short sighted and it depends on your goals. If you want a long term sustainable project, you're going to regret those choices later. I just left a company that was getting its butt handed to it by the competition because simple features took forever to implement because of bad architecture -- too much business logic in stored procedures, multiple teams sharing the same code base and git repo instead of properly segmented packages/micro services, no automated testing, and even worse no thought of how it would be tested.

Well written code doesn't take more time than poorly written code. Even if deadlines demand skipping unit tests, you can still write your code to be unit testable.

I'm the lead dev at the company I'm at now and basically have a clean slate and empty repo. I get to design code using best practices. I've already found that not taking shortcuts has allowed me to reuse code in a ways I never imagine.

I don't want to curse my 2017 self out in 2020 because of bad decisions I made.

True in 2020 I might look back on decisions I made in 2017 and kick myself, but I will have small focused microservices, decoupled classes, and a full suite of automated tests to allow me to refactor aggressively.

Even to the point if in 2020 I decide that one service should be rewritten in TrumpScript, I have automated Newman API tests that will allow me to rewrite the whole thing and have a level of confidence that it will work.

I get the chance to instill a culture of doing things right is more important than doing things fast.
I use LastPass. They seem fairly transparent with their issues, the usability is great, and I've been with them for a few years.

David Bowie, talking about being a young man in London said that he always used to have a Penguin book in one of his jacket pockets, because the top of it would peek out and make him look more interesting. He said he didn't regret it, because every so often he'd find himself bored and at a loose end and actually read one of them, and read many great books he wouldn't have read if he hadn't been posing.

Those "workhorses" negatively contribute to your bus factor[1], they're a risk that needs to be eliminated.

That doesn't mean you have to eliminate the workhorses, but you need to convert them from being 10x engineers to being 10x multipliers.

It'd be interesting to see if those laws developed gradually over time or was by total decree. Perhaps some of the rules are merely incorrect generalisations / reasoning by induction.

> are proved to be superior for quick prototyping and so-called exploratory programming

Not OP and I don't have proof but I always reach for Python for exploratory programming or a quick "let's try and see what happens". Not sure if types are part of it or not, maybe it is just terseness -- the code is closer to pseudo-code.

I hope one day to learn Rust enough to internalize the type and borrowing system so that I can crank things out just as fast (and hey'd be more reliable and faster out of the door) but I am not there yet.

> Only in the sense that accepting arguments that it shouldn't accept and it'll crash with

Now on that point I think it is not just types. Types are a part of it. C has types and systems written in it crash and segfault all the time. Likewise C++ and so on. Maybe Rust is one new-comer where types and lifetimes would make a difference in practice.

However since OP mentioned Erlang, I'd would it is possible to write more reliable systems in Erlang (Elixir as well perhaps) than in C++ or Java or other such typed systems. I have seen it work in practice, and Ericsson's customers have seen systems work for years with 99.9999999% reliability. Now Erlang has optional types (the more annotations you add the more benefit you get from), but in practice isolated heaps, built-in distribution, solid error logging and reporting, sane concurrency model make a lot more difference.

Actually RNNs/LSTMs are surprisingly good at memorizing in addition to generalization.

> Another interesting pattern that I perceive in these results is that maybe sometime between 1996 (Tiger) and 2000 (Whirlpool), humanity learned how to make collision-resistant hash functions,

I actually feel that this can be even more generalized: At some point people learned to create unbreakable algorithms.
There is literally no mainstream crypto algorithm beyond the 2000s that has seen any significant breakage. And very likely there never will be, with one exception: quantum computers will break modern ECC.

I think there's simply a dark age of crypto research with 90s algos and earlier. Which isn't surprising: Back then people were fighting whether it's even legal to do that kind of research.
I object to the notion that SHA-3 and Blake2 are "modern" hash functions and that SHA-2 isn't. SHA-2 remains a first-line hashing recommendation among crypto designers. The Noise protocol framework, for instance, includes it, as does Nacl; the authors of both of these systems had hashes available that didn't have length extension.

If I had to rank those three hash functions, SHA-2 wouldn't be in last place.

This looks like an attempt to use Rust-type error handling in Python. This is pounding a screw. Rust does it that way because Rust doesn't have exceptions. (Although, as with Go, all the heavy machinery for exception unwinding has been retrofitted so "recover" will work. Rust and Go just don't have the syntax for exceptions.) Python doesn't need to become Rust, or Haskell.

Writing

except Exception as e:

is clueless Python. If you're checking for something that went wrong in the outside world, you catch EnvironmentError. Catching Exception catches far too much, including syntax errors. It's sometimes useful to catch Exception at the top level of a program, log an error, and restart, but not in interior code.

Note how useless the examples in the article are. It's not like someone is trying to handle all the things that can go wrong in a network connection, or in nested code where you have a network connection and a database transaction open at the same time, either can fail, and you have to unwind properly.

Typed language are fine, but this semi-checked addition of types to Python is a mess. Python doesn't need this. I'm in favor of design by contract, typing, and assertions, but not in this broken semi-optional way.

I'd say this is a "very simple system". Real use-cases are more complex and have to deal with various issues you brushed aside by saying "out of band".

Especially in situations where you don't trust what's giving you the hash (e.g. because you haven't authenticated them yet, or because the application inherently means you can't trust them even if you have authenticated them) then collision resistance most likely necessary.

This stratfor article discusses the natural capital afforded to the US:

There is also an interesting observation by Nick Szabo about the value of a transportation network: '
Combine this with Metcalfe's Law and we reach a dramatic but solid mathematical conclusion: the potential value of a land transportation network is the inverse fourth power of the cost of that transportation. A reduction in transportation costs in a trade network by a factor of two increases the potential value of that network by a factor of sixteen.'

Not necessarily. You may be maintaining a J2EE app by day for a healthy wage at an established firm, and while you're coding every day, you're not "painting" every day. I think what the author is talking about is more than just writing lines of code, it's writing different and experimental lines of code, different from what you do for your day job.

I agree though that just writing more code is not the answer. Different people have different appetites for things, and I find a lot of my side projects involve no code (I sometimes do actually paint), but I don't value them any less for it.

I'm a 30-something gay dude on PREP. I primarily take it because I'm in a sero-discordant relationship with my boyfriend who is HIV+, but also as a safety precaution for when I was single and hooking up.

PREP has the potential to completely turn the tide on HIV infections. I live in a mid-sized midwestern city where between 10 and 25% of gay dudes in my dating pool are HIV+, many of them unknowingly and therefore continuing to spread it. There is a big push from the local public health department to get gay guys at risk of contracting HIV on PREP and it is starting to pay off.

PREP also is helping reduce the stigma of having HIV. Many people who are HIV+ live with a huge mental health burden of dealing with feeling like they are going to be rejected as a romantic partner because of their HIV status. With PREP as an option this helps reduce that burden. I'm not necessarily proud of this but I'm not sure if I would be dating my current boyfriend if PREP were not available because of the risk it could present to my health. He's an amazing guy and having this issue out of the way for us has been very helpful for us.

That's not to say that it doesn't have side effects and that it should be carefully considered but it really needs to be publicized more as a preventative treatment option in high risk populations.
