My day job includes working on FreeBSD systems and also doing open source FreeBSD work (push upstream, pull down to us). There are sometimes embargoed security notices in my email. There is no chance I will permit my employer to MITM my SSL and risk some clowns in corporate IT from obtaining these mails. (highest security ones are GPG encrypted, but others are not)

I need my personal email to do my work. It needs to stay secure from even my own employer. Period.

The graph often shown about the gender breakdown of Computer Science vs. other studies is misleading - the reality is that the percentega was unusually high in the 80s, and now it's converging to the gender ratio of engineering.

What do you expect ? you are at HN, and the bubble is strong here.

Heck even the large recent trend among app developers and business analysts for low-code tools, tools that require mostly GUI and some code to get pretty complex applications going, offering maybe 5x-10x (or more) boost to productivity - that trend wasn't even mentioned at HN over the last few years, even though it seems like a really important trend, if you develop software or start businesses.

That just makes me wish there was a different type of community for entrepreneurs, one that is focused on democratizing creation and simplifying knowledge, in many fields - because those are the building blocks entrepreneurs work with.
The site's layout and typography is actively hostile to readers in general, mobile or no. The choice of a monospaced font in spite of all readability, the letter spacing, the lack of headings, list marking or indentation, the extremely wide lines...

Good article but in essence, it only works for freelancers, especially the 20 something kind who programs or designs and interacts with his customer through skype.

Modern society has conventions that makes it work well. Like the expectation that the delivery guy will work from 9-to-5, instead of trying to deliver at 2am or in a Sunday morning, because that's optimal for his circadian rhytm. Same for the bank or the library or Starbucks open during the day. This convention lets us help plan our day. Without these you will have to plan for contingencies. These can be acute when you have a chronic disease, disabled or have babies/children. You just wish that everyone works 9 to 5 just so you can go through the day.

You still can't buy more than a single Pi Zero anywhere. Technically the Pi 3B is 7x more expensive.

Edit: Looks like Farnell UK doesn't sell the Zero or Zero W, and any store that does is limiting themselves to 1 per customer.
Oh I agree with the article. Whenever I lead a project I argue that the team should aspire to follow "lowest common denominator" principles. By that I mean they should work in a way that appreciates the abilities of the least skilled on the team or in a manner that would allow someone coming in off the street to get up and running with the project without needing any help from existing developers. That doesn't mean over simplistic code, it just means good simple design, lots of comments and docs and asking around for permission before implementing an obscure or exotic design pattern.

What slows down my productivity more than anything is looking at someones code and thinking "Why did they do that?" Simplicity pay off in the long term.

However in reality, and what my comment was referring to, is that every sizable team has that one dev who rattles off code quicker than anyone else. Yes it works, but it will have a lack of comments, or they don't check in often enough resulting in merge issue or worst of all they implement a design pattern no one else has heard of.
There is life outside work, for sure. The problem is that we are not used to it because after work, even if there is some time left in the day, you have no energy left. Of course there will be a lot of details to be sorted, like what you said; I don't claim to have it all figured out.
I'm downvoting this not because of the point it makes but because of the nature of the language. I think even though it's your legal right to express us-vs-them mentality "down-voting groupthink brigade", ad-hominem attacks "morally superior posturing", "outraged, self-righteous mob" I don't think it's a valuable contribution to this discussion.

This type of language is intentionally attempts to provoke emotion, which in turn reduces the ability for the community to collectively find truth. It sounds like perhaps you've had some anecdotal experiences where you feel like you're the victim of Pc-police, but if you want to convince anyone I recommend you share the data-points of your experience rather than play to emotions.

Import taxes are paid for by the consumers in your country, whose cost of living will go up and make them less competitive against consumers in other countries who don't have that burden. This is a surefire way to shift economic power away from your country and towards countries that are willing to import goods from places that have lower manufacturing costs. And it doesn't hurt the manufacturers at all, because they'll just sell to friendly markets someplace else.

Taxing imports doesn't "level the playing field" for your industries vs foreign industries. It just winds up hurting your citizens and economy. You can level the playing field by reducing your industry's labor costs by removing expensive regulations, but that means giving up environmental protections, worker protections, livable wages, etc. So that's not acceptable. I believe the only way to keep your industries competitive, while also providing the protections that your society deems valuable, is for the government to subsidize those protections instead of making the industries figure out how to pay for them. Ultimately your citizens and industries still wind up paying for it through taxes, but the cost burden is spread out and ideally the protections can be provided more efficiently by having a single organization managing them instead of every little company doing it independently.

No. They're growing up with iPads in their laps that teach them how not to code. Computing used to be creative perforce. Now the larger trend is to consumption - perforce.

There is a heartening smaller trend to creativity with Pi, Arduino etc...but it is tiny compared to the mainstream use of computers.

Energy efficiency is not very high, there is quite a bit of friction.

The battery powers a short section of the coil, the magnets do double duty, they're commutators carrying the current from the battery to the coil and provide the static magnetic field that is one half of the field causing the forward movement, the other half is provided by the magnetic field induced by the current through the coil.

The coil being wound one way (right hand) or the other (left hand) coupled with the direction the magnets are pointed in determines whether it is going forward or backward. If you turned the 'carriage' around it would go the other way.

Elegant.
Sorry for delayed response. I had to reread your comment to understand.

My burn rate is very low.

When I'm not working, it's because I'm sick, meaning no income. I'm too stubborn or principled or stupid to take unemployment (unless I'm actually looking for work). And I'm not sick enough for disability.

During those times I chew down my savings. This last round, I dipped into my 401k. (I had 6 months savings, expected to be out of work for 2 months, stretched to 10, had some major expenses come up.)

Then I get somewhat healthy, pay off my new medical bills, save what I can. Until next time.

Regarding the first point, I think it may be useful to have it need to explicitly be summoned (`@sedy` or whatever), rather than having it try to guess which comments are intended for it. That would also make it simpler to support other bits of sed syntax (like alternate delimiters), that would be hard to auto-recognize as sed commands.
That isn't quite the same as the human race with it's current standard of living is it.

But the problem is you can only buy one. We use Pi 2Bs for some commercial projects and it's ok because in principle we could order in 1000 next-day from RS (currently 12k in stock) or Farnell without restrictions.

Practically the Pi Zero-W would fulfil all our system requirements, it'd probably be better because it's smaller. However, we can't risk it because the supply chain isn't there yet.

>> I have no freedom to make any calls

It took me a long time to realize I don't have to say yes to everything that comes my way. What happens if you say some version of, "I'm not going to do that"? It may or may not be tenable option in your situation.

It's like going to a party, the host keeps offering you food, you eat everything offered to you, and then blaming the host when you gain weight.
Personally, I wouldn't use a library at all unless I had to support IE<8. Localstorage is supported enough across browsers:

http://caniuse.com/#feat=namevalue-storage
Then those organizations are free to not use encryption-friendly protocols for internal resources. Furthermore, those companies are free to fork Chromium or Firefox and distribute their own browser that renders these protocols toothless.

IOW, it's completely fair to argue that users might not have a universal right to encryption, but it's just as legitimate to argue that browser vendors have no obligation to enable the trivial circumvention of encryption. If the software doesn't work for your needs, then stop using the software.
This was an excellent read. There are people who are great a design. There are people who are great at architecture. There are far fewer people who are great and making the tradeoffs needed to sacrifice part of a design or part of a "perfect" architecture when they aren't necessary to a project.

You've really got to have people who have a culture of celebrating trimming the fat at both ends to get to that.
I disagree. We were living in the period of easy middleware (this was before HTTPS rollout), and it generally sucked -- there were supercookies, ads injection, general app breakage when you get a captive portal page instead of expected RPC response.

The middleware should require effort to install, and it should be obvious when it is active. Otherwise, companies which have no business MITM'ing the traffic -- such as ISPs and free wifi providers -- will start to do it just because it's so simple.

For example, Google may require MDM app on the Android devices which is used to access corporate data. This app ensures that the device has the right policy (screen lock, encryption) and I think it may also check for malware apps. This is how it should be -- if you need corporate control over devices, install special application on it, it will be more efficient and it will do more.
That sounds like it raises some interesting conflict of interest questions. Biased judging to block their applications? Or just industrial espionage? (At this point, who would put either past them?)

I am familiar with the survey you presented and can only point out that if you had passed out the same survey back in the late 80s when I was in the field it would have had a similar result. The long-term estimates of people whose current paycheck depends on these long-term estimates being achievable are basically useless BS.

The rate of progress in AI is actually not "incredible" and is in-line with the advances in hardware which have made old research suddenly applicable to a wider range of problems. As someone on the outside looking in it may appear as though magic is happening, but the field is mostly progressing at an only marginally faster rate than it has done over the previous few decades. What has changed significantly to lead to all of these "incredible" results you see is the larger data sets available and improved hardware upon which to run massively parallel but weakly connected computations.

As for why AI can't invent or improvise I am simply suggesting that so far we have only seen optimization and in fact invention and similar feats may actually require more work than we realize. A statistical simulation (based upon a huge corpus) of how a human would respond to various situations is NOT general intelligence, and so far you are just making hand-waving assumptions that paper over a large number of hard problems that no one has a clue how to solve.

How is the proposed solution where MITM attack could be going on the very first time I visit a website I want to trust a better solution than the current state of PKI?

The proposed solution demands that we trust the website on the first visit if the website behaves well. So now it is very easy for Mallory to perform MITM and behave well so that I trust Mallory's public key. Now Mallory can see all my traffic in subsequent visits. How can even one imagine that this is an acceptable solution?

I don't think either of the explosions were related to the rockets getting bigger or more powerful. The CRS-7 failure would have happened on any version of the Falcon 9. It happened on that particular one because that one happened to have a defective strut. The AMOS-6 explosion happened because of their experiments with supercooled propellants.

Two losses in two years is a lot better than the very early days when they lost their first three Falcon 1s in a row, but worse than the early years of Falcon 9 where the only failure was a single engine out that didn't hurt the primary payload, and is certainly not a good track record overall.

Well, let me get this straight:

Climate change is discovered by scientists.

People with fossil fuel money create fake science and propagate it through the corrupt media, and the people lap it up because they want to believe it (some reason that it would lead to a big government, hence the science can't be true). They're blocking all action for 30 years. They also constantly harass the scientists.

Climate change causes famine around the Mediterranean. Revolutions, civil wars and some tens of millions refugees and illegal immigrants result.

These flow to neighboring countries and even a little to Europe, causing political problems there.

There's potential for much bigger problems. Usually the people responsible are very much not the people suffering the consequences.
