I'm not arguing Qt is perfect; no software is. But you can't argue that a platform built on JS and the DOM will ever perform as well as a native toolkit unless the native implementor makes unbelievable mistakes, or we put a vastly disproportionate amount of work into the JS platform. If you really have a thing against Qt, GTK has a bunch of bindings too (including JS!); go wild.

Or to put it another way, if you can switch your stack and get a "few years" of progress, that actually sounds amazing.

(Plus, and this applies to Electron too, you're free to fix bugs in open source dependencies that impact your project).
They already have government oversight. They already have a plan for minimizing pollution, which is wasted material that could be mined and therefore lost money. They come from a western country with a decent environmental track record.

It doesn't seem intellectually honest to compare 1 company mining in a situation where polluting is economically disadvantageous and has the science to understand at least some of the risks to climate change.

With climate change we built several giant industries cars, power, and others that burned huge amount of fossil fuels before we knew the risks. And generally polluting is economically advantageous.

There're limits to the amount of subdomain certs you can request, so I imagine this wouldn't work.

https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/

> Combined with the above limit, that means you can issue certificates containing up to 2,000 unique subdomains per week.
...and they couldn't be bothered to turn it "on" and have at least one photo in the article.

It's like saying "Bavarian Water Center has constructed the world's largest artificial waterfall" ... and then not bother to show what it looks like when the water is flowing and it is all dammed up.
I'm mortified by many things in my government, and I actively work to improve them. You may note I didn't disagree with him... or you may not, because you seem to be acting like I did.

Sorry if that caused you inconvenience.

It's not for lack of effort that NGA is not more widely known. In fact NGA has a pretty great portal for NGA specific consumer applications which leverage unclassified GEOINT capabilities:

https://apps.nga.mil/Home

Not all are great, but some of the apps are really useful and valuable.

It's a huge and hugely valuable organization that has started to become the analysis backbone for current intelligence - largely because decision makers want photos.

The AF and NRO run the satellite system, but pretty much everything valuable that is in Low Earth Orbit that takes "pictures" is processed and analyzed through the NGA - then fused and productized with all source data from CIA/DIA/NSA.

Truly invaluable organization - if bloated (like everything in the USG).

If your vendor supports those certificates. I am amazed by the amount of software from government contracts or the education field that specify certain certificate vendors. I have two required vendors (government vendor software specified by grant) that require one of three certificate vendors. I am not pleased, but not a real lot I can do.
Unfortunately this is not the fact. While some ISPs are experimenting with IPv6, the vast majority are not on that train. Indeed, IPv4 address space has practically run out in China already, but many ISPs are taking the nasty NAT-like approaches, Carrier-grade NAT [1] for example. And it is particularly common in mobile. So far, IPv6 is only (relatively) well accepted among universities (CERNET [2]).

Heh yeah, interesting to ponder. I imagine that others will race off to mine other asteroids, and the price of platinum and other rare metals/minerals will plummet.

Or maybe you'll get a resurgence of nation-state-level companies like the old Dutch East Indies company, as well as piracy.
I continue to be believe even as a static typing fan that static types are fundamentally incompatible with OTP and it's goals.

Distributed systems just seem to too thorny for static types to subjugate/bend to their will.

Sure, you can declare global invariants ahead of time that your cluster must uphold, but it's a bit less "distributed" in a real sense then
Arbitration agreements are probably bogus. I don't believe it has actually been tested much in court, but from what I've read, I wouldn't expect them to hold up in court.
> Let's face it, macOS is the only desktop platform where users give a shit about whether apps look native and use system-provided controls.

Citation VERY MUCH needed. I'm on windows, and I care about applications using native widgets. I mostly care because non-native widgets tend to have horrible performance, but windows does have at least some consistent styles (there are several, but there is some consistency), and a lot of custom windowing libraries just look horrible, and more importantly, behave inconsistently.

I'll generally be willing to use odd-looking GUIs, but when you have an odd-looking GUI that has different behaviour then is standard, it really annoys the hell out of me.
> I think you're being downvoted because you are somewhat making light of a horrible and brutish reality

That is actually a good reason to be downvoted.
So, where's the patch?

I spend some of my free time to collect and post open source jobs someplace. That's my goal.
well in my experience, and this has happened a few times with different requirements which is why I was generic, what happens is you try to use more and more of TypeScript's features to get strict typing (keyof, mapped types, discriminated unions etc) and they work great for 80% of cases. Then you push the feature too far and it falls down. For example, I managed to get tsc to hit a "stack depth exceeded" error by adding a minor variation on an existing complex type that I'd created. I find with TS types, less is very often more unfortunately. I'm trying to use TS like Haskell and it just doesn't play ball.
It certainly matters to a lot of people around me, and in conversations I have. It may not matter to some random people on Hacker News.
I gave it 4 days and I still think it's a rhetorical Trojan horse for white nationalism. I've quite literally never seen that argument trotted out in any other context.
As one of the other comments makes clear, it's a matter of perspective. The ones that benefit always see it in a pretty light, regardless of whether the rest of the world absolutely hates it. If you insist for someone's words to be tailored to be lovey-dovey or the kind you'd expect from the pretty-light side, then don't read criticism because it'll always sound "invective" to you.

"It is a commonplace that the history of civilisation is largely the history of weapons. In particular, the connection between the discovery of gunpowder and the overthrow of feudalism by the bourgeoisie has been pointed out over and over again. And though I have no doubt exceptions can be brought forward, I think the following rule would be found generally true: that ages in which the dominant weapon is expensive or difficult to make will tend to be ages of despotism, whereas when the dominant weapon is cheap and simple, the common people have a chance. Thus, for example, tanks, battleships and bombing planes are inherently tyrannical weapons, while rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon — so long as there is no answer to it — gives claws to the weak."

The mandate is what prevents this. The only failing is that the penalty was too small.
I believe the 30,000 is from how many certificates 3rd parties validated for Symantec, without keeping adequate records or controls in place.
The high dimensionality is merely for the convenience of optimization, so that we get smoother manifold on which a good approximation solution can be found. In that regard, it is interesting to think about of space of models that we humans can interpret, and the possibility of "distill" deep neural nets into models in that space.

I know you can use the second diagram to prove the theorem, but it requires an algebraic argument (the other two squares aren't shown). Unless the text says something pretty interesting, this looks more like a proof just for a 3,4,5 triangle.

The first diagram I can't get my head round at all, or is it proving something different?

In recent geologic time CO2 levels seem to mostly be influenced by temperature instead of increasing CO2 levels causing temperature rise like today (there does not seem to be animals in past all of a sudden excavating and burning gigatons of carbon annually). Over million year timescales the biggest cause in the change in Earth's temperature is Milankovitch cycles[1] which is short hand for changes in the shape Earth's orbit and changes in the position of the Earth's spin axis. These changes interact to produce various climate conditions. The biggest factor is that sometimes these cycles cause the northern hemisphere to have very cold winters and other times mild winters. When the winters are very cold, continental glaciers can form on North America and Eurasia. They reflect more sunlight than land and the Earth gets colder. This is an ice age. Eventually the orbital and spin axis parameters change (over tens of thousands of years) and, with warmer winters in the northern hemisphere, the ice sheets begin to melt. With this positive feedback loop, the ice age ends quickly, the Earth gets warmer, and the Earth enters what is called an inter-glacial (we are in one now).

This is, of course, a very simplified explanation. As one goes back hundreds of millions to billions of years, other large scale changes like plate tectonics, atmospheric composition/mass, sun brightness, continental weathering, etc. will cause the average surface temperature to vary considerably.

I like the idea of that, but, Mozilla is absolutely abandoning what made Firefox amazing.

They are embracing this strange thing where they think that they are a for-profit app platform, like Google, when they aren't. So they're locking down their web browser.

It makes sense for Google to do that. Not Mozilla.

Firefox is supposed to be like emacs. Should emacs need permission from some central authority to install an extension?

Many of Google's UX methodologies make zero sense when Firefox implements them.

It makes sense for Chrome to be locked down and customizable. It makes sense for iOS to be locked down.
I'm not thrilled about it, but it makes sense to maintain the control and integrity of the platform, for a business perspective.

But there is no reason to do it for Firefox whatsoever. I should really document this, but, I have an entire set of Firefox profile "distros" that I use for some very specific purposes, with Firefox. And they're slowly being phased out. Because Mozilla is a cargo cult.

This would be like if Ubuntu decided to forbid you from using apt to install anything except by authorized repos, in order to be more like iOS. Because people like iOS. So if we superficially copy them, we will inherit some of that magic.

Technical decisions for Chrome are often made pragmatically, like, they will decide to use a native pdf reader instead of a javascript one, purely for performance reasons, even if it is a step in the wrong direction for portability. That is a business decision, and the same as any number of Microsoft's inconsistent implementation decisions for Internet Explorer. You don't have to COPY them. Maybe try offering an alternative?

And let me be clear: at Mozilla, they FETISHIZE Chrome. The sole justification for removing FTP support from Firefox[1] was a single pasted URL from Chrome's bug tracker announcing that Chrome was removing FTP support.

Google doesn't even have to try. They lead Mozilla around by the nose. Google could announce that they were removing the address bar, and the sycophants at Mozilla would have already officially announce that they too were deprecating the address bar as being obsolete, because Google said so.

We've already lost. We have a one party system.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing was shipped. No package. They bought shipping and paid USPS to get a tracking number but nothing was ever mailed and the tracking was never updated.

Amazon doesn't appear to care if the package status changes to "shipped" of not as long as USPS got paid?

How long have you been sending mail from your latest IP Address?

I run some websites that have their own mail servers. One thing you didn't mention which can help is to be sure to use an email signature. Basically short emails are more likely to be flagged as spam, especially if there's an attachment.
I could pretty easily counter with: it's reasonable to expect people to backup any files that are important enough to them they'd sue over it.

At the rate cheap spinning laptop hard drives fail, you are literally an idiot if you aren't backing up important files. It's not IF they will fail, it's when.
Actually you should blame the representatives. They should be there for ALL citizens and have the greater good in mind not just the narrow interests of some.

How do I get to the plain email client?
That's an incredibly ignorant statement.

I think this is it. I think it needs to be worded: "There are 30,000 certificates which no one knows for sure the validity of, and thus need to be revalidated." The 127 merely proved that misissuance was quite possible, and did happen numerous times.

EDIT: I think that's really the crux of the issue. These 127 certs which Symantec claims are "harmless" are merely the ones which were stumbled across and obviously very "how is this even possible" wrong.

That's why the 30,000 is the "size of the risk". The big "Symantec" problem is that there's no good way to distinguish these 30,000 from the many more certificates issued by Symantec under different brands. For Google it's all-Symantec-or-nothing. So they're coming up with measures that apply to all-Symantec.
I have machines that were and are still running Windows 7 and Windows 8 (I keep them around for testing). I was never forced to upgrade them to Windows 10 and it was never done "auto-magically" for me. I've also never seen a Windows update destroy data without telling me it was going to destroy data, usually by reformatting a partition or a drive. You'd probably have to just blindly answer OK to every prompt you saw for that to happen. If you're one of "those users" then I have zero sympathy for you. Anyone who takes their computer to the Geek Squad definitely falls into that category, especially if they believed they had to buy a new machine because on OS upgrade broke their hardware. Not saying I like auto-update but this sounds like a serious case of PEBKAC.

The TL;DR of this whole thing

* Root CA practice allows delegating validation to 3rd parties

* However, the Root CA must accept all responsibility for any mis-validation the 3rd parties do. No throwing them under the bus

* Symantec delegates validation to 4 different companies to serve local markets

* Said companies fail to adequately validate domain ownership

* Symantec attempts to throw them under the bus

Further compounding the issue is that there is no way to separate the certificates that had more rigorous validation than the ones validated by these 4 companies
Really hoping this project gets more traction.

I'm learning Elm now and I'm really liking the syntax to the level that other languages feel rather cluttered to me now.

The more I'm playing with types and learning to leverage them, the more I appreciate their power (yes, I'm late to the game) so making this statically typed is very interesting.

However, there seem to be a saturation of new languages and not sure if there is enough eyeballs left for a new language that does not have a large corporate backing (FB, Google, Apple) or happens not to arrive on a perfect time with the right set of answers. Maybe BEAM, ML/Elm syntax and static typing is what everyone else is looking for.

Edit:

Then I assume their standards and implementations are completely open, and they allow third parties to federate?
Good questions.

If a company doesn't publish the protocol in use within, let's say 3 months of a valid request by a third-party then they'd be liable to a fine, perhaps something like $1 per day per registered user, plus costs of government and registered third parties in pursuing the interoperability request.

Small companies might escape, but if Facebook tried it they can't really run away. You'd need to be able to issue notices to ISPs to block those convicted of breaking the law, such orders are already part of UK law (against torrent discovery websites for example). Again you'd get some leakage but big providers like Microsoft couldn't feasibly expect enough customers to move to VPNs to bypass such a block.

IM client definition could be hard but in practice you'd have clauses requiring a judge to decide if the traffic exchange amounted to an IM communication. I see no problem with having a broad definition, if the definition were narrow then it would just get worked around. The definition would probably include email as a subset.

Were there other person-to-person communications protocols you are concerned would fall in the scope that definitely shouldn't be open?
Actually, yes, that's a very good example.

Go uses the C syntax. That is the most known syntax in the world. It's in the same family as C++, Java, C#, and in a different league PHP, Javascript.

That's the kind of VERY IMPORTANT DETAILS that make a language reasonable. Go didn't attempt to throw under the bus a decade of muscle-memory coding.

By comparison, F# or Ruby are total aliens in every regard and not just the syntax, even when compared to the most similar languages.
Any further detail from Ryan or anyone else involved here would be very helpful (their are plenty of other organizations who bootstrap based on Google/Mozilla/Microsoft/Apple's root CA program)

Since you seek to genuinely help the follow and now apparently me, I would reckon you take internet comments quite seriously, so you're welcome.

It's hard, and I don't blame him for delivering it like that.

Web technologies only works when the interface is the primary feature. Spotify is a music player, Steam is a game launcher. There isn't that much functionality under the hood. On the other hand if you only need performance, or functionality, something like Qt works. What's hard with "applications for professionals" is that you need both. I doubt Adobe mainly uses web technologies in their creative suite.
