There are currently 2 usable OSx tiling window managers :

- KWM https://github.com/koekeishiya/kwm
- Amethyst https://ianyh.com/amethyst/

I stopped using Linux on the desktop before tiling WMs were a thing, and was kinda fascinated by what i read about them, as i've always seen the overlapping windows GUI idea as somewhat broken. (what's the use of a window if it's even partially hidden, appart from clutter ??)

Well those 2 projets really bring tiling to osx, not just as in "resize windows with a shortcut" like spectacles, etc, but as the real i3/xmonad deal : windows are mostly managed for you, using a BSP for kwm.

I use kwm, it's beta quality, it has a few issues and i spent a few evenings tinkering to wrap my head about the concepts but ... it works, and it rocks !

Suddenly I can have 10 usable windows on my dual screen setup, focus follow mouse, etc. It feels so much peaceful having everything on your screen that being searching for windows all the time...
Chase was the one I had to go to the US Consulate for. I've also used TD Bank, and some others that I don't remember.

The key thing is that a lot of their front line staff may either not know or don't want to deal with the hassle of this for a "normal" account holder.

Best bet is generally to get through to whatever department handles high net worth individuals or corporate accounts. Some banks also have special departments handling expats that are used to dealing with the hassle of people who are not present. And even if you're a foreign national, those departments may be able/willing to help.

Even if they're not the right ones to handle the account opening (I certainly was not a high net worth client when I opened my first ones) these are the teams most likely to know if their bank allows for it and who to talk to.

If you have a lawyer or accountant, my impression is that your odds go up just by channeling your request through them. Presumably it makes them think you're more likely to be a potential high value client. In general this sidesteps a lot of complications with banks.

An approach some may allow if they do need you to come in is for you to come in to non-branch offices. E.g. a large bank with a private wealth management or investment banking office in your country may be willing to let you pop in (by appointment) to show your ID there if you find the right person and ask nicely.

I get the impression that with a lot of banks just demonstrating that you know about premier/high net worth departments or think to go to a corporate / investment department creates the implication in their mind that you're not a regular customer and should be treated with some extra care just in case you turn out to be important.

This is a really amazing visualization. One of the things that I like about it is that the visualization shows representative random, nonproductive interactions (the other molecules that bounce off of the enzymes, for example) and the enzymes don't typically "magically go straight to" where they're supposed to do, they're often doing a little bit of fumbling around first.

This is in contrast to a videos like this one, where the molecules move with a purpose:

Kind of missing the point: let's say it's a safe that is incredibly difficult to crack, and there's a 90% chance of making a mistake that will trigger a failsafe that will destroy the contents of the safe. In that scenario, the authorities would be unlikely to attempt to crack it.

Agree with a lot of this. If Google wanted they could probably even give some extra boost to forms of publication they endorse. I'd love to see Open Access weighted higher in Scholar and they could add an extra boost for "interactive examples" or "available data sets". I think you're spot on that they hold quite a bit of power (high GS ranking is also an incredible citation boost for the typical "tack on citations").
You can make that kind of saving quite easily if you are statically linking a load of stuff together. Often the extra libs have a whole set of features you don't need and didn't realise were so large.

That is true, BUT: In the 1980s A) far fewer mobile devices were around and B) such devices ran happily on Mignon batteries (think the Walkman).

There is a vastly bigger hunger now for batteries (also as storage devices/electric cars) and I bet inventions/innovations will be faster implemented.

CV=Q. Pulling plates apart makes the capacitance C decrease, while the charge Q remains constant. This means V must be increasing. Energy in a capacitor is VQ/2, so the energy increased.

(This is somewhat circular reasoning. The point is that the charges on capacitor plates attract each other so it takes work to separate the plates. Integrating the force along the path the plate takes during the separation gives the extra energy stored in the capacitor.)

A similar thing is a static generator made using a pie tin. You put a little charge on the pie tin by some means, like rubbing on styrofoam, and then you separate the tin from the styrofoam, which gives more energy to the tin (increases the voltage), which then you can transfer to a Leyden jar.

I also discovered in high school that you can use a pair of plastic chairs and two willing participants to generate high voltages when there is low humidity. Person one stands up off the chair, touches person two, then sits down. Person two then stands up off the chair, touches person one, then sits down. Repeat. Eventually, you will generate fairly high voltages that sort of hurt. You can hear the excess static charge on the chair squeal into the atmosphere after standing up.

I never cried tears of happiness when the primary sex hormone in my system was testosterone. Now that estrogen is, I cry all the time. Not just from hormones, but also from how happy I am not not be living a lie anymore. And sometimes for absolutely no reason whatsoever. And it's emotionally cathartic as fuck.

This entire thing is so anecdotal and from-personal-experience, it's not remotely interesting in its attempts to generalize.
If bin Laden's victory condition was "many overly-reductive Americans bemoaning negative events in their nation's existence by parroting that the sky is irreversibly falling, throwing in the entire towel, forgetting or never bothering to study several existential threats to the United States in its brief history, and shrugging that our doom is all due to a Big Bad who managed to take down the world's occasionally most powerful nation with four airliners," then sure, he won. Since it wasn't, your comment is pretty much meaningless despite its appearance of wisdom.

It's weird, for all this terminal rhetoric I read about the end of America I still drove to work this morning and still had faith in American values, not to mention a crazy belief that what's right will ultimately prevail in the face of great adversity. What's more, I feel uniquely empowered as an American to roll up my sleeves and create the America I want to see and believe is good for the rest of us, and I didn't even need Gandhi to teach me that one.

I guess I need a sandwich board instead, because what's the point? Are we merely South Canada now, waiting for an eventual invasion that will take our economic, military, scientific and cultural leadership away, leaving a skeleton of a sovereign state that barely made it out of puberty? What coffin do you think Trump is building? I'm about as disapproving of the current administration as you can get, but I've also studied just enough of the world to understand that things tend to endure, even when the situation looks most hopeless to all involved.

Look at the Big Bads that the British survived throughout their centuries of history. Sure, Pax Britannica and their colonial adventures around the world have come to a close, but I don't see any comments saying "the world won, Britain lost, might as well yield the Crown and just absorb into the EU." Nope: they still fight for what they believe to be good and properly British, including giving the finger to the rest of Europe when they feel it necessary. We should learn from that example, of those with the learned memory of an empire from which they descend, deflated by the world changing around it, yet avoiding the adoption of a fatalist nostalgia that impedes all progress and hope for the future.

If the British aren't a good example, look at the Germans who still live in the punchline of uncomfortable jokes. They're still here, still making some mean beer, and still a valuable member of the world. Not even a particularly misguided government pissing off the entire planet could get rid of a German ideal that lived in its citizens' hearts, and they had a God damned wall down the middle in the wake of that mess to constantly remind them of how hopeless it got.

We are due to be knocked down a couple more pegs than we already are. If you're of the mind to give up when that happens, then you can identify yourself as a member of the "winning" army. Saying UbL won and giving up makes him win. How do you not see that?
> when you're solving problems for customers who are not plugged into the power grid, you're solving problems for people who don't exactly have signing authority for a $20k engagement starting next week

Yeah, exactly. And of course I knew that going in. I had hoped (and still hope) to diversify into a completely new space, secure in the belief that web stack / python / ops / deployment / etc is reasonably stable.

Obviously off-grid tech speaks to a totally different market (and heck, maybe a totally different society), and that is very much the point.

And as for sales and marketing: I've tried the basic tactics you describe to generate more leads. My happy clients generally report that all is well and that they don't know anybody else in need at the moment.

On the other hand: since about 2013, all but one gig has been a referral from a friend or happy client. So maybe I need to tap into different social circles (ie, find work from sources other than people I already know).

> My completely amateur thoughts: If they already can prove he has child porn, then they don't need the additional evidence. If they do need the additional evidence, then he is incriminating himself.

Except that's not how it works, and that's not what the 5th protects against. Let's say you have bank records that incriminate you in some money-laundering scheme. The authorities know that you have these records, because an associate of yours has informed them that you do. The protection against self-incrimination is about transfer of information, not about pure action (even if that pure action implicitly transfers incriminating information). The incriminating information would be "I have bank records that detail illegal activity". The authorities already know that; they do not have to ask you to provide that incriminating information. However, it is absolutely within their rights to say "give me all your bank records dated from X to Y", and yes, you must comply.

Sure, you can try to provide incomplete or doctored records, but if they're able to prove that they're incomplete, you're in contempt of the court order, and they'll likely add obstruction of justice or evidence tampering to the list of charges.

In the narrowest possible view, the 5th protects you from being put up on the stand and to be coerced into a confession. Some/many judges interpret it a bit wider than that, but it seems few would find the request that Rawls turns over the files in question to be problematic.

Any person who, in a circumstance described in subsection (d), knowingly produces, distributes, receives, or possesses with intent to distribute, a visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture, or painting, that (1) (A) depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; and (B) is obscene (...) or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be subject to the penalties provided in section 2252A(b)(2), including the penalties provided for cases involving a prior conviction. It is not a required element of any offense under this section that the minor depicted actually exist."

While that can be (and is, really) an excuse for select(2) and poll(2) (which I believe date back to '83) it is not one for epoll (October 2002) as it was preceded by both IOCP ('94) and kqueue (July 2000).
Encrypted data should be indistinguishable from random, so if you had an encryption system that randomised the unused portion of your disk nobody except yourself would know whether there was data there or not.
I'm friends with a couple CS professors at a Russel Group university, and they said that since last year the number of EU students applying for funded PhD positions went from hundreds to nearly zero this year - and several students who were going to start studying this year have pulled their applications, quoting brexit concerns. At our company we are trying to recruit for about 10-12 programming positions, and we had two programmers from EU who were deep into the recruitment process and they both resigned citing that they don't want to commit to living in the UK because of brexit.

The process is not even fully defined yet, and it's already scaring people away - but things like less PhD students won't be damaging until 3-4 years from now, and then everyone will blame whatever else but brexit. Things might not be going down the drain right now, but there's no way it will turn into anything positive for years.
There are, as far as I can tell some weaknesses in that argument, at least from a lay perspective.

- There must be evidence that I can unlock the device for the two situations to be equivalent, and the request must be for specific documents known to exist. If they don't exist all evidence found must be invalidated because the cause for the search was invalid.

- If evidence of ability to unlock the device does not exists, but the assumption is that since it's mine I can unlock it, I think the analogy is slightly flawed. Since the ask is now not about producing a specific thing I'm known to possess, I'm indirectly being asked to produce a document (password), albeit not in material form but typed on a keyboard. Since it's never been proved that I actually am able to open it, the situation is not equivalent, but more like there being a safe in my house that nobody has seen me open, no key is know to exist, but since I own the house I am assumed to be able to open it, and I'm held in contempt because I say I can't or won't open it. It's not too uncommon for a house to contain a safe the current owner can't open, but it does not lead to the same situation since it can usually be forced open. The only difference with good encryption is that the option to use force has become increasingly impotent.

- Unlocking a computer without proper limits and auditing of the search is also more like being asked to give access to any document storage rooms I own or have access to. Reason being that unlocking a device will in many cases give access to more than the bare contents of the drive, giving access to emails, Dropbox, and other logged on applications and sessions. Since parallel construction appear to be a thing, it's ripe for abuse.

Maybe there needs to be a process where independent auditors can, under surveillance of the defendants lawyer produce named documents from seized evidence, as giving police and/or prosecutors blanket access to devices entire content could create lots of opportunities to create parallel construction stories for any content found not under the current warrant, and as bizarre parallel construction is, it appears to have been used.

Not complaining about the article, but here are my thoughts.

Write and maintain your own code for a significant amount of time. When you see bugs repeating themselves you have no one to blame but yourself. If you come back to code that you have written a few months later and you can't make sense of it fairly quickly, its probably time to refactor that part. Think about the design up front and the implications of doing things that way or another way.

I am a big fan of the "serverless" approach. If you structure your code in the right way, it is still easy to move away from it and use your own infrastructure if need be anyway. For getting off the ground for MVPs and such without having to deal with hosting and deployment too much and only pay by usage, it's pretty great!
Really Unlimited 4G data for 15.99 €/month (France)
Let me sumup and translate :
If you have ADSL or Fiber at Free for your home Internet (35 euros/month, 1Gbit download / 200 Mbit upload, totally unlimited), you'll have access to a Freemobile Mobile plan which includes: Unlimited Calls, Texts, MMS and 4G DATA. Yeah, no limit at all. No fair use, nothing. Just 16 euros/month. You would think, "yeah but the QoS must be terrible". Freemobile is actually the best mobile provider in France with a 45 Mbit/sec on average (Source: http://www.generation-nt.com/nperf-4g-debit-free-mobile-orange-actualite-1934099.html). Oh, and you also have a Unlimited everything + 5Gbit/month of data when you're not in france (Europe, USA, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, etc.).

So yes, unlimited data is possible on mobile too without any impact on the QoS (on landlines too, but it's quite obvious, nearly all ISPs in Europe have unmetered home internet since ages).

I'm sure he improved some, but keep in mind that work and practice are not the same thing. You have to be actively trying to improve if you want to improve. See for example all the webcomic artists that have been around for 4+ years yet haven't improved their art quality.
If that's all they had, I'd probably agree with you. But that's not. They have:

* Backup logs that show hashes of files that match that of known child porn image files.

* Testimony from the guy's sister that she has seen him decrypting the drives, and that he showed her child porn from the drives.

So yes, what you're saying is true, but in this case, I'm (reluctantly) on the side of the authorities.

Broadband is fine and dandy and I am fully supportive but they should also do something about the homeless people living on the streets.
One thing I'm wondering about that I haven't seen discussed yet is the possibility to make circular git histories:

When a git commit hash is calculated, one of the data that is used are the pointers to parent commits. That results in two properties for commits:

1) A child commit's hash cannot be predicted without knowing the parent commits

2) Once a commit is created, its parent pointers are practically immutable. The only way to change them is to create a new commit with a different hash - which cannot carry over the old commit's children.

Those properties meant that it's impossible to construct a commit with a parent pointer that points to its own children. Therefore it was safe to assume that a git history is always a DAG.

I think with deliberate SHA1 collisions now possible, someone could actually violate property (2) and introduce a cycle.

As the DAG assumption is pretty fundamental, I'd imagine such a cycle could break a lot of tools. Has this ever been tested?
You are spot on about the impostor syndrome. Colah's confession about being worried bring me some sort of relief given I hold him in really high regard. I am starting out in this area (still an undergrad) and feel really scared at times about what I am doing and at times feel I land up into good internships/projects just by sheer luck. When someone like him who is respected across the community can have these doubts I feel it is completely OK for mere mortals like me have the same issues.

On similar lines, the fact that each of his posts takes 50-200 hours of work is another reality check. I always thought he was writing these on the side in 2-3 hours. This made me believe I could not with years of practice produce such great work. I am still not sure if I would be able to but at least I can now set realistic expectations for myself. Also, knowing it took so much work on his end has made me respect him even more.
