Wouldn't it be great if the browser could be configured to simply sync this information to a calendar app of your choosing?

This way, be it local or an online service like Google Calendar, the data would be under your control and would make sense across computers, and could be viewed in relation to other time-based data.

i.e. if your tweets also ended up in a calendar you could see the tweets that led to a browse, that led to a bookmark, that led to a new tweet. You could later on make sense of your own activities.

If I were at Google, this is what I'd want to work on: How to bring together data to make it useful for the user, rather than just useful as part of a profile for advertisers. History is a lot less scary when it provides the user with the bulk of the value.

PHP or Node.js: Which Is More Secure?
For a compact powerful mirrorless camera, look at the Olympus E-M10 MkII (its successor might be out later this year) or the Pen-F. They can be used pretty much one handed, and their body isn't much larger than an mobile phone (though thicker, and of course much more so with a lens attached).
I think it's great that a data center operator is willing to relax their requirements. For too long we've been designing against telecom specs and operating environments.

I think in order to bring more OEM vendors in we need to see the other big players to also accept the relaxed specs.

Hopefully, we don't end up with another dozen different 100G or 200G MSAs that work from 15-55C.

I am sure you don't notice it yourself but you are basically trying to argue through painting things into extremes.

It's either socialist or Laise-Faire, Switzerland is heavly regulated, Public boards are based on rationality, private boards are based on greed alone.

No a taxpayer paid healthcare system does not make it a socialist system anymore than a taxpayer police force or army does. And the US system isn't laissez faire just because it's broken in many ways. Most economies are mixed economies.

So I am not sure what you are trying to prove here. The fact remains that public healthcare has it's own issues regardless of whether you personally think they are better issues to have and any honest dive into those the countries systems will show you that. You can't both have your cake and eat it. Switzerland is heavy regulated you claim (which is wrong) but they pay twice the GDP for about the same outcome. So what is it? A system governed by the state, a system that's private or something in between? With regards to Germany most of their insurance is covered by public healthcare 80% if not more. So why is that?

Furthermore the US is a huge country with hundreds of millions of citizens and millions of illegal immigrants and spread out over a huge area. Based on it's circumstances it's not doing too shabby regardless of the statistics.

It's just not as simply as you would like to paint it in those extreme corners.

I really wanted to play this game, but after thinking about it, it really depends on why you use nano and the k120. The k120, in particular, is a very stiff keyboard with a mushy feel. It requires a fair amount of strength. I couldn't use it all day -- especially not with nano.

My initial thought was that you are a very careful programmer that tries not to make too many mistakes. I also thought that you probably try to write code in one pass and that you avoid TDD and other techniques that cause you to go back and revisit code again and again.

But, I cheated a bit and noticed in your profile that you have sysadmin experience, so now I wonder if the cheap keyboard is simply the keyboard that happens to be there. Nano is because you can't be bothered to spend your life learning vi and nano is the other editor that's guaranteed to be on whatever machine you happen to be logged in to. So that would make you pragmatic (as any good sysadmin is).

What's kind of interesting about this process for me is that I now have this utterly fictitious view of you based on ridiculous stereotypes. We could probably have a good conversation where you poke a million holes in my view, but without really challenging anything that I hold dear. Not really sure if it's a good idea, but it is definitely interesting to think about.

Also the french journalist that has authored the article “September 11: the French had long known” got prosecuted for breaching state secret by exposing that France services had prior knowledge and had passed the information in january of 2011.

The probe against Dasquié stems from his April 16 article
in Le Monde, titled “September 11: the French had long
known,” which said French intelligence services, the
General Directorate of External Security (DGSE), had
warned their U.S. counterparts of a possible terrorist
plot that involved the hijacking of planes and crashing
them into buildings some eight months before 9/11,
according to international news reports.

The article contained excerpts from a DGSE file titled
“Aircraft hijack plan by radical Islamists”—part of a
328-page classified report on al-Qaeda activities, which
Le Monde said it possessed. One excerpt from the report,
dated January 5, 2001, said al-Qaeda had a list of
potential airline targets, which included the United and
American Airlines carriers used in the 9/11 attacks, the
AP said. Le Monde said the DGSE files in its possession
contained maps, analyses, graphics, and satellite photos,
Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported.

A N900 has 256 MB (plus 768MB 'swap') and as such is rather memory- (and CPU-) restrained. Still, looking at my current running instance of Claws (on a T42p, 2GB/1.8 GHz Pentium M) the process has a resident size of 32 MB. The currently opened mailbox contains 4417 messages (I need to archive a few of these...), the IMAP folder tree contains around 300.000 messages. In comparison, browsing the same folder in mutt takes 20 MB.

I just tested it on a folder containing 40.000 message (list archive), this increases the RSS to 82 MB. The same folder in mutt takes 64 MB. In other words, the 'penalty' paid for a GUI instead of a TUI is around 10MB + ~15%.

> we need to study what happens when people have no jobs.

Take a look at Europe, with it's high youth unemployment and generous social system. Without a job people are the same, they just have more time in the day.

Much of this time is spent consuming, socializing, raising a family and creating.

The idea that a person needs (outside of financial necessity) a job is absurd. A sense of mission is attractive, but the best missions in life certainly don't involve commuting to a cubicle each day.

One thing I like about PHP for quick prototyping or one-off projects is that an error doesn't bring the whole server down.

For instance, I held a workshop where I hosted a server the students were to do some requests to. I had written a simple Node application that read the json they sent and returned a result. What I didn't anticipate was that them sending malformed json would bring the whole server down. So then I had to add error handling and stuff. Of course one should normally do that, but in PHP the malformed requests would just fail, leaving other requests unharmed, which would be acceptable for this kind of project.

Modern "upgrades" of the DRM have completely locked out any kind of modification from the source to the destination and prevent you from even drawing over the content on screen.

I'm talking about the AACS 2.0 Blu-Ray DRM format, which requires you to have a compilant BR player, compliant motherboard with DRM support, compliant CPU with DRM module (!), compliant GPU, AVR and display. All of those components are built to lock you out from modifying or capturing the picture stream from BR to the display itself.

With the draconian craziness of DRM and widespread support for it (even here on HN), it's easy to see this kind of lockout being deployed on the web as well, especially if that allows advertisers to shove more ads in your face without the possibility of using an adblock.

> the parent said he can keep his child still, but its not the child's natural state.

The child can be in its natural state in the privacy of their own home, not in public where it's a bother for everyone else. If we were talking about a child with real issues that could be blamed on disorders, it wouldn't just be about "natural state" and whatnot, and as you say the parent is able to keep the child quiet, proving it's just him preferring to not be considerate to his environment.

> And you go and call him a "bad parent" for not stifling his kid. Bullshit.

Screaming and running around in public doesn't foster any desirable or productive behavior on the part of the child, as far as I can imagine. I don't think it'll ever be in the favor of the child. All it really does is inconvenience people that didn't ask to deal with the noise of the child.

Edit: I want to add that I think there's a lot more that goes into being a bad parent, by the way. The only thing this "Society will have to adapt to me" behavior shows is a general lack of respect for other people and putting your convenience before them.

Slack claims to not have a sales team.
Many of these topics are constantly being championed by the somewhat obscure digital libraries space. These departments are mainly found in universities, and they focus heavily on the pipeline you described. Despite the point you made that throwing content on the internet is usually easy and "almost free", it's actually a pretty large and costly effort when you're trying to do it at scale. A lot of clerical and engineering effort goes into tagging/organizing/storing/replicating the data, guarding against bit rot and other integrity errors, and making the data easily searchable and browsable (and that's to say nothing of the political and psychological battles involved in simply getting researchers to follow through and provide the data to these processes, in the proper formats, before they finish their degree and disappear).

If the hacker side of these challenges interest you, I suggest checking out the code4lib community: https://code4lib.org

I used to do interviews in one company I worked for and we had this online test, which consisted of four tasks very similar to those in the list.

There was this one candidate who, by mistake, was given the test twice. Apparently he took offence to that. He found that his friend did the exact same tasks so he copied them.

The designers of that test tout that their system is able to detect plagiarism, but that was not the case here.

Anyway eventually we hired him because even though his first attempt wasn't particularly impressive and he cheated a face-to-face interview revealed that he was a skillful programmer.

One thing I learned from this experience is most of the time these test simply confirm that the candidate went to college - sometimes a particular one.

Wow, really, 600$/month for 5GB storage? Even a 8 GB GPU RAM costs less than that for GPU instances. Not trying to undermine the work, but it really does not have that much utility to justify such a huge price for such low capacity.
> While useful, the problem was (and still is) that embedded PHP templating operates at the string level and has absolutely no concept of HTML-awareness so can't escape the strings it injects into HTML - it's trivially easy to build a PHP app taking user input where the user sends malicious <script> tags and PHP placing it happily into generated HTML (eg. XSS attacks).

> PHP apps typically also build up dynamic SQL from user input by string concatenation, which has resulted in uncountable SQL injection attacks.

You can make these beginner mistakes in any language that outputs HTML to the browser, and accepts user input via the browser.

I'm not specifically defending PHP here, but I hope you're not implying that these problems don't exist in Ruby, Python, Java or even Node for that matter...

The issues you are describing are unsafe coding practices and have nothing specifically to do with how PHP works, and it's "trivially easy" to make those mistakes in almost all web programming languages.

It's also not true that PHP "can't escape the strings it injects into HTML". There are standard library functions to do this (and have been for probably 10+ years, since the late PHP 4 days), as well as many well-tested community packages to do this at the framework or application level.

Also your explanation of "plugins" and "themes" is a concept tied to applications such as Wordpress, Joomla, and other CMS products (and again are not concepts specific to PHP).

It's certainly true that PHP's low barrier to entry has led to many badly coded websites getting onto the Internet, but I think it's ignorant to claim that PHP can't be used correctly and safely to develop web applications, or that most of the problems you describe are not easily avoidable.

All languages and frameworks have their pros and cons, and their caveats, but it helps no one when people spread FUD and outdated (or straight-up false) facts about web development.

Whether you code in it or not, you should probably refresh your knowledge of the PHP language and ecosystem if you're going to make public statements about how it works and what it can and can't do.

Ubuntu 17.04: The bittersweet Linux release
Emil Cioran is a pretty twisted individual, but his writing is amazingly beautiful. In particular, De l'inconvénient d'être né is pretty fantastic, especially in French (haven't read any translated versions, so can't vouch for it).

I was introduced to him by my previous boss. I was going through some rough times, and my boss recommended some of his books, summarising Cioran's thoughts on the matter of suicide as being a crutch to survive.

He saw suicide as an eternal escape hatch. No matter what happened, he still had the comfort (and control) of being able to say "Stop."

I'm not sure I would agree that it is the main message, but it is true that On the Heights of Despair does allude to that way of thinking.

I highly recommend Cioran, to anyone who is interested by philosophy. As with most philosophers you will read about, there will be major disagreements between you and the author, but his works have definitely shaped how I perceived parts of life.

my own question is "why." slack is by no means a trivial business to run but 800 does seem awfully high.
Agreed. The monopoly regulators who tell the cable companies what to do should give them a limit on the electric load their customer-premises equipment (cable boxes) may draw when idle.

It should be no more than dozens of milliwatts. When the load exceeds that, the cost of that electricity to their customers should be refunded via a credit line item in each bill. That will give the cable operators a way to transition to better equipment, and an incentive to get the transition completed.

Accountability: there's no other way.
I'm not sure if it's a result of this kind of protectionism or not, but in general meat and fruit especially is much higher quality than what I had when I was living in the US.

For fruit, the size of the individual fruits is smaller in general, but much more flavorful. The yields are lower (and thus price more expensive), but that's what happens when fruit is bred for flavor rather than volume.

I imagine meat has something to do with the diet. I don't think Japanese farmers are feeding their cows human candy.

There are a small minority of posters who advocate fascist points of view.
Sorry, but this is ridiculously bad.

So the point here is that they say QUIC doesn't do length hiding. Okay. This is not a secret, but okay, you can point that out.

However then they go on that they don't know (because they haven't checked) whether the same is true for TLS. It is. It's been published as the HTTPS Bicycle attack. Writing "we strongly encourage other researchers to study TLS version 1.2 to see if Ring-Road exists" is comical under this circumstances.

The university's press release tries to spin this as a google bug:
https://www.cerias.purdue.edu/site/blog/post/purdue_cerias_r...

Which is... quite a stretch, given that QUIC just has the very same behavior as TLS. It almost makes you think they haven't checked TLS to be able to spin this as a "google vuln" story.

Then they recommend to disable QUIC. Which will do... nothing to mitigate this vuln, because of course the browser will just fall back to normal HTTPS with TLS - which has the same vuln, but hey, they haven't checked.
I had a similar experience to this.

I think the difference is that FB was really focused on making sure HHVM ran for their internal use cases specifically, and broad compatibility was a secondary concern in the early days (and perhaps still is? I haven't looked at HHVM in a while).

To be fair, they were quite transparent about this, and published quite a bit of documentation around what worked and what didn't work when running PHP on HHVM so that was good.
But that does not mean that all the boards support it, even if the chip works at all. What good ECC RAM does, if the errors are not logged?
