Every 6 months or so I find a game that swoops in and eats up all my time. Usually it is a valuable and rewarding experience and its missed once I complete the game. Then I spend 6 months trying games from my steam library until I find another one that has that special something.

It's not the best method but I try to set a timer for 30 minutes 3 times a week and try a new game I've never played. It's obviously not a perfect method but often that's enough time to decide if I want to dedicate more time to that game.
Lets not rush to judgement, please. The gp might just be playing Devil's Advocate here. To be sure, you hear these kinds of arguments all the time and your answer is very helpful and not something I recognized immediately (perhaps I am a little misogynistic? Definitely horrified by that thought and do want to change/learn more).
They have a lot of problems with that. The reason:
Most ad networks lump them in with porn sites because they allow adult content to be uploaded. Most major brands won't touch it so the display ads are very low quality and riddled with malware.

I did quite a bit of work on tracking down and swatting the malware ads but they were almost impossible to track down and there was no accountability through the ad networks.

Good to see so many people here are agog with disbelief at this story, which understandably didn't get as much talk as the more disturbing harassment charges. I am assuming by Uber's lack of a counter narrative to the jacket story that it is accurate. To be sure I did write Uber asking if Fowler's account was correct, but they did not reply.
>Presumably if Uber wins, it'd have a solid case against the supplier.

Can they really claim that the supplier damaged them by leaking trade secrets if the trade secrets aren't theirs?

That's ridiculously. They certainly have a right to do that. Sure, it depends on management etc.'s willingness to listen and take the advice, but they absolutely have the right.
We've seen this before. Usenet was killed from spam as it didn't have a defence against those seeking to profit from the audience.

This is today's equivalent of the same problem. The difference is it is now two monied interests battling for the audience.

I long for a modern usenet newsgroup equivalent that has some kind of protection from monied interests, I suppose a small audience is a guard.
I think a lot of this is based on your experience with languages. If you have exposure to a list/iterator native language like python, you come up with solution in a few seconds, even if you aren't even remotely a programmer. Other languages might not lend themselves to so obvious a solution.

The perl example cited here kind of blows my mind compare to the trivial python approach:

def flatten(lst):
rlst=[]
for x in lst:
if type(x)==list:
for y in(flatten(x)):
rlst.append(y)
else:
rlst.append(x)
return (rlst)
It seems likely that only the poorly-written shill content gets called out.

That's a problem. The above example looks good in a Ubuntu terminal window and in Firefox, but misaligned in the "gedit" text editor. In the SciTE editor, the line drawing characters show as four hex values in a box. groff, even with the "preconv" preprocessor for Unicode, can't display them either.

The box drawing characters aren't even in the astral planes. They're in plane 0 in the 0x2xxx range. So even old 16-bit Unicode implementations should support them.

(The TCP header from an RFC was just an example. I'm converting some old troff documents to PDF, and they have lots of box drawings.)
There's the key: Gamers have been complaining, not normal people. When I used to be a gamer (meaning I didn't have anything else to do with my life than get better at games), I could literally spend hundreds of hours mastering a single game. When you're at that level, games seem easy. Now, I casually will pick up a game once every three months or so and play, and for some games unless it's the easiest difficulty level, I get my ass kicked. Online (vs. "gamers")? Forget it. I totally get the "difficulty inflation" that's happening.
Sometimes I'm in a rush and forget to turn it back to Never.

That doesn't make me a fool, it makes me human. Don't be a jerk. It's a dark pattern for a reason.
I'm finding that games seem more like work than they used to. Hard isn't the right word; grinding, is more like it.
Why not? I've known women who wear male, or male-ish clothes. I've not known men who wear women's clothes, but I know they're around. And there's gender identity, which we as a country are currently struggling over.

Wouldn't it be most equitable to just ask which sex clothes you want?
Well, duh, then there's more room for doubt.

Look, we're talking about the difference between opinion and fact here. By its very nature, "fact" implies that you have enough evidence already that questioning that fact requires evidence of its own. If I hold some weaker opinion, then sure, it's entirely reasonable to hold an opinion contrary to that without the burden of proof immediately being on you.

The use-case for Flexible SSL is when you're not handling sensitive data but still want to offer https:// because really every website should offer it. In fact the blog post that introduced Flexible SSL (https://blog.cloudflare.com/easiest-ssl-ever-now-included-au...) said basically that. The whole point of the feature was it was a simple one-click way to go from http:// to https://.

That said, now that we have Let's Encrypt, and as more tooling gains support for automatically handling that, the value of Flexible SSL is going down, and I do hope they retire it eventually.
Reading your post makes me think that we might need to have two standards: one that employees apply to their employers, and another that regulators apply to employers. I am reluctant to give broad discretionary powers to regulators with limited accountability and insight, but I think that employees make up a fairly good 'jury', as they experience the work environment every day. My next question is whether the employees should have some remedy or options outside of quitting. It seems that people's experiences with 'HR' are very mixed (and often negative), so companies might need some kind of arbitrator, panel, or other problem-solver.

edit: a now-deleted response to this comment said that an 'ombudsman' can fill the 'problem-solver' role. I am not familiar with how that would work, but that comment said that 'ombudsmen' were effective in their case.
Alternatively, great luck and timing for the Wirecutter team to sell to NYTimes before this happened.

20 Ideas from the Mind of David Gelernter
Probably not. There's SHA-3 (though reputedly slow), and my favourite, Blake2b.

I've implemented both SHA-256 and SHA-512, and seen the more modern Blake2 in detail: Blake2 is not more complex, it's fast, and for now it's solid. I expect it to stay secure for a long time, given its Chacha heritage.
I have never worked on code intended for military use. From my layman's point of view, it seems like DoD code would either be "the most boring legacy CMS you can imagine" or "top secret missile guidance AI systems". The former isn't interesting. The latter should probably stay closed-source.

Is there any DoD code that is both interesting and suitable for public consumption?
If you're just throwing your resume around and hoping, I think you're better off submitting it to every recruiter you can find. They're professionals at the resume-submission game. But either way if you're in this position you should understand that you're starting at a disadvantage.

For a specific company, you should have an inside connection. Get referred by an employee, get contacted by a recruiter who works specifically with them, or even cold-email an HR/manager. Anything's better than putting your resume in the big pile full of spam.

However you do it, when you get to the point where you're talking with the hiring manager and they like you enough to interview more, they may say "HR needs you to fill out our application here before we can bring you on-site," and then it's OK to do so. You shoot the manager a quick note "I'm not ready to talk salary yet, but the form had some validation on it so I just put in '99,999' don't worry about it; it's just a placeholder". Or you hack the form to submit something funny and that's even better.

> A perfectly legitimate case can be made to modify some EPA regulations, but when that reasonable position is characterized as "eviscerating the EPA", well then we have another problem

Terminating the EPA entirely (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/861) is not a "reasonable position".
Even if it was precisely the same configuration of zips/pockets/etc. there's still the fact that a female cut garment can need to have different amounts of material to accommodate bust and hips.

I accidentally bought a women's cut top at a goth festival once; the extra material across the chest was noticeable when wearing it (though other people didn't notice from just looking, so I happily wore that top for years anyway).
r/The_Donald is banned from being a default subreddit while /r/politics is not. That matters because users without accounts or who aren't logged in will see content from r/politics if an article is trending but not an equally trending(?) article from r/The_Donald.

The reasoning behind this is that r/politics doesn't ban people or articles that the mods disagree with. It's the community itself that downvotes pro-Trump stuff. r/The_Donald, on the other hand, bans people who make comments critical of Trump and people who submit anti-Trump articles. Similarly, r/enoughtrumpspam or r/communism should also be banned from making it to the default front page (I don't know if they actually are).
I have to agree despite your downvotes. From 8.1 onwards, mobile and desktop, Windows has been the most beautiful OS. Using my iPhone 7 feels like stepping back in time in terms of the visuals.

It is learned because the brain has specialized circuitry to be able to learn it.

The machinery obviously has been evolved and is inherited, while a grammar of a particular language has been learned.

There is also a strong hypothesis that the structure of the specialized areas of the brain "reflects" the general notions of the shared environment, such as things, attributes, processes which corresponds to nouns, adjectives and verbs.

Like visual cortex has its own hard-wired heuristics and presuppositions (that use environmental cues such as shadows, distances, illumination) which are used in the process of scene decomposition and interpretation, the language area should have its own hard-wired heuristics, which, presumably, are used in grammar learning.

The knowledge (heuristics) are encoded in the structure, not in some kind of information.
>> Coursera course by Martin Odersky

Brilliant course.

Unfortunately, the next one in the series is not nearly as good.
It would be trivial in languages with sum types and support for recursive signatures/constructors, which doesn't describe all statically-types functional languages. And there's no reason such a language would have to be functional, though most are.
> if planets revolving our sun can somehow collide with eachother

It's not "somehow", it's only a matter of time until something happens in most star systems. They are only stable over human-relevant time spans, they're not static. Every star system is the result of the evolution-like process of its formation. What we see as the result of that process is literally only there because it survived long enough for us to see it. These systems do change over time. Small deviations add up, some are subject to cumulative destabilizing factors (such as the Earth-Moon system), and sometimes it's just due to a rare event occurring.

> we should be able to see the same phenomenom happening in other star systems. Do we have evidence of it?

Oh yes. We're seeing extrasolar planets that we think have moved significantly during their life (mostly inwards, because our detection methods favor those). And sometimes we see dust clouds that are the result of planets colliding.

Again, there is nothing new or surprising here. We haven't thought of star systems as static and perfect for a long time.
I'd disagree that "counting" is innate. The mental recognition of scale and quantity may be innate, but "counting" seems to be a more elaborate matter of embedding scale and quantity recognition into an abstract mental or linguistic framework.

That is, to count you need to understand number, but to make decisions about scale and quantity, you don't.
Yet another variation on: Don't be a sharecropper.

The bounty prices won't be the problem. The constant negotiation over 100,000 different variants of unchecked redirection and login fixation will be the issue. Time is money.

Hacker One should rename itself The Institute For Advanced Redirect Studies. I'm only partly kidding: bug bounty submitters are good at redirecting. Way better than I was before I started handling bounties. There's an interesting epistemological discussion to have about the low-value-yet-severity:critical bugs people file on bounty programs, because the level of cleverness required to exploit URL parsing differences between platforms is no less than what it takes to get an XSS bug.

Very straightforward traditional LAMP with lots of database sharding and various smart optimizations to handle extreme traffic volumes.

They used to have a custom file storage back-end which resembles something like swift. That may have been replaced with AWS after I left.

I believe socialism has a pretty specific definition: government ownership and control of the means of production. Which is easy to grasp for steel mills, power plants, and hospitals. A bit trickier in the creative economy and the gig economy.
The coming glut of Python devs is going to be a problem. Its an excellent language, I've used it for work for years, but its almost too powerful. A minimally skilled programmer can write mostly-functional Python programs while still not having the slightest notion of what they're doing, meaning the pressure for a developer to understand and improve their craft is often minimal.

If I were responsible for hiring developers into a Python post, I would only consider candidates to could show (ideally substantial) work in some other, strongly-typed, lower-level language. It hardly even matters if they haven't seen Python, a decent developer can become a useful Python programmer in a few hours. Python experience does not teach or demonstrate a decent understanding of software structure.

What you mean is that little power gets lost, not little power gets stored. The goal is to reduce thermal losses. Beyond that, it's just a matter of throwing mass at the problem.

These aren't ordinary rail cars. They're designed to be generators, so they optimize for efficiency. Adding mass increases storage, but we don't want to waste more energy than necessary in the storage process.

I am not convinced that the economic whip is the only means we have of dealing with lack of passion, creativity and drive. I would be interested to know if the authors of the study controlled for education.

The United States has a really horrible K-12 education system overall, and it's well known that the wealthy (a tiny minority) have disproportionate access to great education, while the poor (the overwhelming majority) tend to have poor education. Children could be taught to be more creative and to recognize that there is much to value in life, and their passions could be nurtured without requiring them to scramble just to survive.

I am reminded of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.[1] The lower, more fundamental needs need to be met in order for the higher needs to become relevant.

Sounds to me like that's a really god way to hire people who are really good at bullshitting.

The absolute hardest thing about hiring developers is hiring people who I can trust to write code. Most applicants are just not adequate programmers and any other redeeming qualities they have can't overcome that core deficiency. I need people who can look at different ways to solve a problem, implement an approach that makes sense, and explain why it does. I need code reviews to be about architecture decisions and correctness not lessons on how to write code. If someone can't do that I really don't care how well they can sell themselves as an "asset".
according to http://keys.mayfirst.org/pks/lookup?op=stats there's currently 4594571 keys on the bulk of public keyservers. considering the rumors that facebook and others also do signal and their user base is around a rumored billion, the k that i glossed over is around 217. even if we assume that there's dark masses that never ever used a keyserver, we ignore the fact that out of those 4.5 million pgp keys most are expired, revoked or simply lost, so the active keys on the keyservers are probably much less, and thus k is also much bigger.

I took a diversity week class and the ethics were eye opening.

One takeaway was either never give your team/entity anything or always give them exactly the same thing.

Money is always preferred

Examples in class were:

"Define fairness and equality."

PG was talking about viaweb and dead languages in an interview I won't spend 10mins looking for; but he said something like:

Latin is a dead language and no one speaks it. Sure it is helpful for understanding other languages, but I never got that comparison because the computer always speaks it.

Certainly imperfect paraphrase, but the crux is that you can always code python, or lisp ect.
You can learn R without knowing anything else. It's a good statistics package but a dated and quirky programming language.

I'd consider doing the Stanford Statistical Learning class which starts off with teaching you R. https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/HumanitiesSciences/Sta...

Also recommend Swirl, which is an interactive tutorial - http://swirlstats.com/students.html

Or you can go straight to Julia, which is a modern statistical package and language without R's quirks http://julialang.org/

If you're eventually going to put your project on the Web, or just want to learn programming the right way, might be better off doing it in python.
Well, that's terrifying.

I've found learning and creating to be more fulfilling activities than videogames. That's not to advocate against gaming, or to generalize all games, but I've thought about how much time I spent playing games in the past and if I was happy with what I gained from it: I largely was not. I felt as if I was lacking in skills that I wished I had, and believe I could have learned in that time. I'm happier with myself after cutting down greatly on gaming, and I wonder if other people share the same joy of learning that I feel or if it's an unpopular perspective.

Add.: What I believe causes a game to feel unfulfilling is if after the game is finished the player, and the world, is (nearly) unchanged. If there's nothing to show for it. No new philosophy, no useful talent, no object created, nothing to share with others. Most games are equivalent in their impact to a bad reality TV show, a distraction from progress, a time sink, a void.
