Thank you. It would be easier to create friendly terms that describe end-to-end encryption if non-encrypted cloud providers weren't actively trying to mislead people into a false sense of security. My previous rant about this is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13303599
You can still allocate more virtual memory; it just has to be backed by a file, e.g., through mmap(). So, for example, what mongod does — mmap() in its entire DB, which can be terabytes of RAM — would still work.

You can almost think of file-backed mmaps as swap, in fact.
In initial stages of product development the UI can change much more drastically than just minor tweaks.

Your comment about personality disorder was really ignorant.

It's not okay to throw about psychiatric diagnoses, especially ones which are so heavily stigmatised, in an argument just because you dislike someone.

It says a lot about you that you think it's ok.

For anyone who is interested in personality disorder a good source of information is Meeting the challenge, making a difference - http://www.emergenceplus.org.uk/news-from-emergence/507-meet...
I'm surprised these reviews don't include the recent history of science funded by the wealthy - eugenics, asylums, lobotomies, thalidomide, and now kids taking psychotropics. That doesn't mean the same will be true of CRISPR but why create test subjects just because you can afford it?

I really don't feel the need to ground my axioms in academic philosophy. I am completely unsurprised that there is already someone out there analyzing things the way I do. I see the 6 verses as universal and would be totally unsurprised to see neuroscience confirming that the way thought works in the brain operates along these principles. I developed them in states of deep meditation and there's much, much more than I can really articulate.

Previous times I've tried to articulate these concepts to an audience I've gotten no bites. What I'd really like one day is to sit down with someone who does work in theoretical philosophy and articulate my views over the course of a few weeks / months. I see that as about as likely as Donald Trump actually being a good president.

In the meantime I satisfy myself with iterating and refining my beliefs by myself.
Huh. By that definition Java isn't managed, which seems to be missing the point and not as nearly useful as a broad category like everyone outside the Microsoft ecosystem uses it. That said, even if "CLR" is sensibly replaced with "CLR, JVM or similar", it does seem like I have the etymology/definition wrong, thanks.
While YMMV, from a patients perspective, with severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, you want to get to biologics as quickly as your healthcare system (or budget if you have fu money) will allow.

Insurance companies love methotrexate because it is cheap. It has a far higher NNT than the biologics, is less effective at clearing psoriasis, and has horrible side effects.
Interesting, that is what my doctor said as well. I did test positive for SIBO, so I am currently taking rifaximin which should help. I had a friend with various vague problems as well and he said he felt 75% better after getting treated for SIBO and candida. I've also been taking digestive enzymes, betaine hcl and iberogast but they don't seem to being doing anything.

Before I started seeing this doctor, I did take VSL #3 which greatly helped my relatively mild stomach/digestive problems, but did nothing else. I know there are quite a few people with severe Crohn's/UC that have achieved remission by taking massive amounts of it daily.
I'd agree they should be more profitable, but like most things, profit doesn't follow good works.

The point was more that it doesn't matter that entertainment companies make a higher profit because that profit doesn't generally put folks lives in danger. Unless the government reorganizing health care to provide more straightforward profits, upping the profits hurts folks because they are more likely to feel the increase. Hence the last statement: The important part is that the end folks get access.

And you are right, that is the government's fault. It isn't just healthcare programs, however. They could go different routes to reimburse drug companies for r&d costs, for example. Sure, the money would still come from taxes, but hopefully(!) it'd be more transparent with some of these things.
Hmm, I wonder why this is hosted by Lysator (a student association at Linköping University in Sweden), does anyone know?
Im aware of some close calls from a long, long time ago. Sandia revamped a lot of the tech not long ago. The source might have been talking about one or the other. Ill do some more research since I only have hearsay from people at this point.
You're right, it's a little hand wavy, but we can fully sequence the DNA we extract; so I guess it depends on the error type, if there is an error that is only present in some DNA strands, that could be problematic.
Buggy SSDs certainly are a thing, mainly due to the complexity of FTL, but if you have a story of FW corrupting data on spinning rust that would be news to me.

From what I've seen of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis doctors will prescribe basic emollients and moisturisers but do little to find long term cures on an individual basis.

The best results I have ever seen in getting rid of psoriasis have been sunlight and enstillar foam. Almost to the point of complete repair.

It is important to note what flares things up for you, stress is a huge factor in severity of psoriasis, diet (red meat, dairy, sugar) also can really impact it.

Keep searching for those improvements and share your results.
It's all about bad management. But it's about how they make plans and deadlines in the first place.

If they don't spare a thought for what future problems can come up and make allowances and contingencies for these risks then they can't manage. Who cares if you tell them about problems early if there's no ability/wiggle room to change directions?

If management don't want surprises, try thinking ahead. It's called risk management. Who is to blame when a predictable issue eventuates? Not engineering. If you have no slack in the schedule get ready for shit to hit the fan.
This is misleading.

They admitted at the time they knew it was being used improperly, they were just attached to the usage.

It might handle the malloc failure by crashing. Some languages (e.g., Rust) and runtimes (e.g., glib) presume that small allocations always succeed; a failure in such an allocation immediately crashes the program (as the underlying API provides no means to report the failure).
All of those things are way more effort than what they did here. It's like computer security, where you can never have a system that is 100% guaranteed to be perfectly secure. But you can do some simple things to vastly increase the work required by an attacker.
I expected that 1kW would be a drop in the bucket for a car, since moving that huge hunk of metal from A to B seems like it should totally dominate. But I worked it from first principles, and sanity checked against Tesla anecdotes [0]. At usual speeds and 2.5-3 mi/kWh [0], that's a power consumption in the tens of kW [1], so call 1kW a 5% bump. According to CNN[2], that could be around ~$20/mo from super rough back-of-the-envelope math.

If that estimate is on the money or high, I'd totally pay <= $20/mo for my car to drive itself. If it's low, I probably wouldn't pay $100+/mo for it.

Dealing with Anxiety
Hi all,
I recently wrote this post (https://psiloveyou.xyz/married-to-someone-with-anxiety-d5bab822ba2d) that prompted a really good discussion on HN - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13037164

After speaking with my wife, and reading comments people we had, we thought we'd try and write a follow up that is aimed at looking at more practical advice. Specifically we have looked at what helped us.

Hope it is of some use and feel free to add comments so I can update the article with other people's suggestion.

Lovecraft's racism and xenophobia were not simply ordinary to his time, or removed from his work as a writer - "The Horror at Red Hook," as just one example, is a story that's just loaded with that sort of thing. I don't think you can discuss Lovecraft without it.

On Statcounter numbers, Windows 10 has more usage than Windows 7 in the USA and the UK. That's unheard of for a new Microsoft OS, where most people don't update until they buy a new PC.

> I note that the citations you gave earlier were invariably future predictions by analysts rather than actual adoption numbers.

Some are already doing roll-outs and pilots are at an all-time high. It normally takes corporates much longer to get to this stage.

Really? How is it "very different".
That hasn't been historically true. It might be true for newer ones but older designs could have gone off. There's also incidents where the bomb was armed accidentally, say, by it slipping while in a plane. Some of the "intentional" detonators were very simple and could be triggered by a surge.

So we raised on a convertible note with a cap and a discount. We're from the east coast and our accessible angel pool balked at SAFEs. An argument for a different thread :-).

I'd defer to Paul's point that choosing a too high (or non-existent) cap makes no sense. We did have to negotiate our cap and we set it so that we had a realistic shot of hitting 2-3x that in Series A pre money which in my mind is why an angel should be investing. I'd personally consider it a disappointing outcome if I raised at my cap and I'd hope my investors would as well.

A cap is not a valuation and I agree that everyone thinking it is, is a problem.

The Touch Bar is always in your vision:

In any case, how is looking at something such an arduous action as to be a con, but searching and memorizing what each FN does in each app, isn't?

> Use a modifier. That brings you up to 48 without counting Alt.

Even more shortcuts to look up somewhere (in-app help? keybind settings? online?) and mentally associate with each number (and its modifier), instead of just seeing your available options for the current context on the Touch Bar.

In a complex app like an IDE, each FN could mean 10 different things depending on the context. How is that good, or sane?

We have toolbars in addition to menus for the same reasons.

> Different numbers remain "fixed" for different functions in different operating systems (e.g. F1 for Help, Alt+F4 for Quit.)

> That's a con?

It reduces the number of effectively available keys (minus shortcuts) to less than 12, and it differs across operating systems.

As for tactile feedback, we might as well go back in time to 2007 and rail against the introduction of touchscreen phones.

> Feedback on touch (to see where exactly is the finger positioned on the key and relative to the previous keyboard position) is more important than feedback on activation.

We're getting there with more precise and shorter vibrations. Compare the "Taptic Engine" of an iPhone 6S and an iPhone 7.

Minor for some, major for others. And it is technical too, because there are maintenance ramifications for it not being in the mainline kernel, for example how quickly a security patch can be applied.

> During the Cold War, the United States and Soviet Union both deployed nonstrategic nuclear weapons for use in the field during a conflict. While there are several ways to distinguish between strategic and nonstrategic nuclear weapons, most analysts consider nonstrategic weapons to be shorter-range delivery systems with lower yield warheads that might be used to attack troops or facilities on the battlefield. They have included nuclear mines; artillery; short-, medium-, and long-range ballistic missiles; cruise missiles; and gravity bombs. In contrast with the longer-range “strategic” nuclear weapons, these weapons had a lower profile in policy debates and arms control negotiations, possibly because they did not pose a direct threat to the continental United States. At the end of the 1980s, each nation still had thousands of these weapons deployed with their troops in the field, aboard naval vessels, and on aircraft.

> In 1991, the United States and Soviet Union both withdrew from deployment most and eliminated from their arsenals many of their nonstrategic nuclear weapons. The United States now has approximately 760 nonstrategic nuclear weapons, with around 200 deployed with aircraft in Europe and the remaining stored in the United States. Estimates vary, but experts believe Russia still has between 1,000 and 6,000 warheads for nonstrategic nuclear weapons in its arsenal. The Bush Administration quietly redeployed and removed some of the nuclear weapons deployed in Europe. Russia, however seems to have increased its reliance on nuclear weapons in its national security concept. Some analysts argue that Russia has backed away from its commitments from 1991 and may develop and deploy new types of nonstrategic nuclear weapons.

> The Soviet Union produced and deployed a wide range of delivery vehicles for nonstrategic nuclear weapons. At different times during the period, it deployed devices that were small enough to fit into a suitcase-sized container, nuclear mines, shells for artillery, short-, medium-, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles, short-range air-delivered missiles, and gravity bombs. The Soviet Union deployed these weapons at nearly 600 bases, with some located in Warsaw Pact nations in Eastern Europe, some in the non-Russian republics on the western and southern perimeter of the nation and throughout Russia. Estimates vary, but many analysts believe that, in 1991, the Soviet Union had more than 20,000 of these weapons. The numbers may have been higher, in the range of 25,000 weapons in earlier years, before the collapse of the Warsaw Pact.
Unintended consequences is one of main arguments raised against genetic engineering in general.
Like OP said, having that design is valuable, but you're still running someone's software on your computer.

With Tahoe LAFS, you're either downloading the pre-built binary or compiling from source. Either way, you're trusting the person who signed the binary/source or the person who hosts them.

This is similar to when Apple says they can't read your messages. Sure, they may not able to decrypt the data on their server, but they're in total control of the client software. They can get access to your messages.

I do think it's in Tahoe/Apple/etc's interest to NOT be able to see their data. For one, they said they can't and reputations are important. It may also be beneficial when dealing with law enforcement requests. So trusting them isn't totally unwarranted, but there's a lot there that isn't mathematics.

(You're never going to get to 100% math, but there are ways to get further. For example, someone might eventually write a Tahoe LAFS client that comes with a machine-checkable proof that it doesn't leak plaintext. You now need to trust the proof checker, but it's progress.)

I have had psoriasis all my life. I've managed it with prescribed topical corticosteroids.

I went on the Keto diet 3 weeks ago (just to lose some weight). A fantastic side effect is my psoriasis flare ups have started to diminish notably.

I also feel better in general, no fatigue. That can be attributable to being in better shape, but I think a lot of it is the brain fog that Meghan spoke about in her article. When your body stops attacking itself, you magically have much more energy :)

> The web-based user interface The UI was changing constantly, which suggests Stable Functionality wasn't a goal. Correct Functionality was still a goal, so the UI should have been tested manually by humans (e.g. the programmers as they wrote the code.)

This sounds plausible right up until you realize that 1 out of every 3 production deploys breaks some corner of your web UI, and you're always needing to scramble to fix the deductions table every time you change your basic popup widget. Or until you realize that you need a full week of time from two very skilled testers to make sure your UI actually works.

JavaScript UIs bitrot at incredible speed. Sure, if you're using TypeScript and Angular, you can maybe get away with a bit less testing. But in most cases it's a terrible tradeoff.

There's a huge comfort in knowing that every single time you deploy your application, your basic signup flow and core features still work. You can accomplish this with very high-level tools like Cucumber in most cases. "Stable Functionality" is always desirable, and it allows you to develop faster because you don't have to spend all your time terrified of breaking things and endlessly retesting them by hand.

Or you can keep breaking weird corners of production and getting upset because somebody made a mistake and annoyed an important customer again.

> I wonder what the effect would be of a mixed strategy where only the relatively safer and lower-concentration forms of a drug are legal?

The interesting solution is very high taxes, with the tax based on the amount of the substance. Then higher concentrations have higher taxes.

The optimal tax amount is just below the amount that would cause the tax-evading black market to be larger than the legal market. And then prosecuting for tax evasion doesn't cost the other taxpayers anything because every prosecution pays for itself through the back taxes and penalties, without having to put anybody in prison.
