What on earth is nanosecond data resolution? Does it just means file create/modify timestamps are saved with that level of precision?

If so, who cares about that?

Where is your claim that vivaldi is close source coming from?

https://vivaldi.com/source/

// later edit below

Excuse me but I am just reading on this and it seems its real open source it that sense. I did not even know this, so thank you for this. This makes Vivaldi a total no go for me.

https://vivaldi.net/userblogs/entry/a-few-words-about-open-s...

It has in fact a proprietary license:

"18 November 2016. "Subject to the terms and conditions herein, Vivaldi hereby grants You a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Software and Services for its intended purpose.

How do you mean? AFAIK since those networks "halucinate" the additional data based on similar but actually unrelated data, its not of much use in science where accurate data is important.
With regards to 2, I have experienced this. As a solution, I built a websocket server using NodeJS. I then built an API in express that PHP / Gulp used to push messages to be sent via websocket.

There might be a better way but I'd effectively added support for server push from our PHP app in a morning, with great results.

The other thing it provided me was clear evidence of the "best tool for the job" in a shop that demanded PHP.

The problem I have with PHP is what is usually touted as it's benefit. It's easy to find PHP developers. The problem: most of them are not very good.

To close, there are many more PHP RFCs that internals should approve, e.g arrow lambdas with automatic variable closure, design by contract, etc. These could really bring the language into it's own.

I second that 100%. Using Sylpheed, Sylpheed Claws, then Claws Mail since early 2000s and never had any issues. It runs circles around Thunderbird and others speed wise because it was initially written when hardware limitations forced one to choose the right tool for the job and not simply pick the most famous language. At one time I had more than 10 email accounts and creating folders for each one plus filters to redirect incoming emails was straightforward; it's so fast that even today I keep in my Mail directory all mails since day one, including backups imported from other softwares. That means all mail since 1996, and it still loads instantly.

With MacOS, I particularly love MailMate.

It's been with me for years, and I love how it handles the flow of editing mail messages. You take care of the contents, it takes care of formatting. If you've ever tried LaTeX, it's a similar concept.

Bit rot isn't addressed by any filesystem without device redundancy, which no Apple device has had as an option since the Mac Mini server was discontinued.
Yes, exactly that. I had to follow a few links, but Ars Technica has a better story. To quote:

"It also massively increases the granularity of object time-stamping: APFS supports nanosecond time stamp granularity rather than the 1-second time stamp granularity in HFS+. Nanosecond timestamps are important in a modern file system because they help with atomicity—in a file system that keeps a record of writes, having nanosecond-level granularity is important in tracking the order of operations."

That's around 300 PPI, which is way more than enough; most photographs don't consist of super-high-contrast aliased lines, and thus will typically look OK printed at considerably less than 300PPI; depending on context you could go as low as 100-200PPI. 300DPI is a bare minimum more because then the printer dots are bare visible; and of course you need many printer dots per pixel to be able to create smooth-looking gradients. It doesn't say as much about pixels.

Of course, if you're printing sub-8MP images on a full page, then you can count on all those pixels being important, so any pixel-level defects that are usually hidden by their tiny size will become visible (hot pixels, noise, that kind of thing)

Datapreneurs: Data Science and Machine Learning Resources
There is a project called ReactPHP [1] which provides a nodejs-like event loop and async execution.

However, I think the power of PHP is that it is not designed to be its own server, to run forever in the background and handle all kinds of complex async flow. Execution stops when a request is done: no memory and data leaks between requests and easy to reason about.

In practice you don't really need async, except for stuff like sending emails and heavy IO. Laravel simply handles this by pushing jobs on a message queue and handling it via a worker process, but you can use any microservice of course (in particular a simple node app).

You've got a point. I should have elaborated before going to bed.

There's a lot of noise surrounding measurements of skill. Witness the regular articles here about how to interview people.

The reason why CEOs make so much is related to this. Very few people appear to have the skill, but that is also why their wages are inflated in relation to what they ought to get. Because the penalty for hiring an incompetent seems so high, we want to make absolutely sure we get a "real" CEO. This means there are loads of people who could do the job, but due to a lack of credentials such as appropriate previous experience, those people cannot be hired. There's also the fact that you can point to the credentials if things do go wrong. "They hired him there, so it must be our business that's hard to fix." I think it's Tyler Cowen who calls this a star system. Similar dynamics occur in other high paid labour markets.

If you look at what a CEO does, you have to wonder why so many divisional managers are often passed over for an external candidate. After all they should know a fair bit about the company and have similar skills.

On a more software related note, look at job ads for programmers. Why do they specify one web framework when probably anyone who's used any of the major ones would probably be able to learn quite easily? This type of dynamic probably gets even stronger when we're talking about high powered exec jobs.
My understanding is that Japan has a very flat pay structure across society, with much less diversity in wages. If so, and if the rest of the world is the correct "market" price, then lots of people in Japan are being "subsidized".

In a sense, their society has chosen this structure, in which case it's not even a subsidy, it is the natural price.

I think they serve different purposes, and the quality varies heavily across subfields. Academic research will produce a journal article as the primary output, whereas a blog post is typically a side effect of a practical project, and most will contain a link to the actual code.

Ultimately, I think they're both good, but they do have different uses.
Getting a research paper published sounds so meritorious, no matter how idiotic or trivial it is. Take for example, Princeton 'research' in 2014 that predicted that Facebook will lose 80% of users by 2017 [1]. The evidence? Google trends data which has near-zero correlation with DAUs of Facebook. The research not only got published, but also got a wider-audience after major media websites covered it.

Had it been a blog post, I don't think anyone would have taken more than a cursory look at the analysis. Yes, anyone can fit data points and reach a conclusion with blogs, but isn't academic research fraught with similar problems already?

PHP does not deserve most of the negativity it receives. It matured a lot recently and even though there are many alternatives tha probably can do better under some scenarios php still does what it does very well.
There's an inverse side to that "anyone": professional scientists are under pressure to publish long scientific-looking articles, and their fellow reviewers have almost no motivation to spend any significant time reviewing (no pay, no nothing, just a small non-quantifiable reputation penalty for declining to review).

Whereas most scientific bloggers post things they are interested in and therefore feel have something to say.
I think the big difference is the viewfinder. A viewfinder with 100% coverage gives you the exact picture you are seeing. Its sharp its quick its perfect and doesn't take up energy.

A digital viewfinder gives you the picture the camera gives you. This uses lots of energy and sucks in low light performance.
You cannot down vote replies so it's not me who's been negative reping you. I also haven't been following you around HN nor posting personal attacks. I just said "all URLs are parameters" because your comment was weird and misleading (for reasons i elaborated in the other post i left yesterday).

HN is a technical discussion forum so there will be times when people will disagree with the technical points you raise; particularly when you continue to comment on technical topics you only partially understand (as seen here).

My advice to you would be to take a second to digest those counterarguments to check if they are informative rather than assuming every counterargument is a "personal attack". And if there's not enough data to understand their point then ask for clarification or an elaboration. I've learned a lot from the discussions on here just through reading those counterarguments and certainly am not too proud to admit when i have been wrong.
UDP shouldn't be used for content traffic, it has no guarantees. Plus, this is what happens when reinventing emperors new clothes protocols... greater attack surface for marginal benefit.

> Between 1950 and 1980, the median wage of the lower 90% of the US economy rose by 75%. Between 1980 and 2010, that median wage rose by 1%.

That excludes the non-wage compensation. Health + dental + vision insurance, stock options, stock grants, employee stock purchase plans and 401(k) matching (among others) became a fairly important piece of the compensation puzzle, especially in white collar jobs.

The monetary value of some of those components (healthcare) rose quite substantially.
The best, most fair interviews I've been through follow this pattern. I remember one of them told me about a current problem they had, and told me "You can google anything you want, you have 30 minutes. After that, you should tell me how would you solve this problem, including any tradeoffs you've made".

This is by far the most realistic scenario employees of most companies face. It doesn't matter so much that one doesn't remember the specific details of tree traversal or how linked lists are implemented. It matters much more that one is able to find it out quickly, understand it and apply it. Those are the skills you're looking for.
pretty amazing work!!!

How do you reconcile the ideas that in an internet connected age where (1)people on HN often champion the idea that bits should be free to cross boarders unimpeded (eg. movies / songs / articles / messages / what-have-you should be available globally through your-favourite-streaming-chanenl) and that (2)there should be a difference between internal and external spying.
I wonder how the author is 100% sure that working in a startup is always better than working at Wall Street. I tried both ways, and there are ups and downs on both sides, but I liked it just a tiny bit more in big finance (though not in big banks).

In my opinion blog posts have no scientific quality at all, since they are not peer reviewed. They may occasionally have quality, but that's another matter.

To be fair, some fringe journals have no scientific value either, because they do not peer review properly, but they are easy to spot and everybody in the scientific community knows them.

On a side note, originality is one of the key requirements for publication in a reputed journal and I have not ever seen a blog post that made any scientifically original claims. But maybe that's because I don't read blogs very often.
No, they're a political problem. There are no famines in democracies.
Ask HN: Where to find OS translation projects?
My friend is has a masters in translation looking for open source projects to help on.
I suggested she looked online, as some of the projects I've been involved in have all needed translation at some point. However now I've come to look for a project for her I can't find one.
When I used to look at localisation files there were just a set of structured text files. I guess there have now been dedicated toolkits developed to help crowdsource this kind of work.
Any advice/pointers would be gratefully received.
"I think repetitive work jobs will be replaced by machines in 10 years"

OK, George Jetson, make sure and let me know when all the repetitive work in the world is replaced by an algorithm, because I don't want to miss it.

Also, he talks about the idea of a single corporation controlling the "infinite intelligence" of AI - buddy, they won't, the government will, and another government will go to war with our government for it, and it'll start WWIII. So I really wouldn't worry about who owns AI in the future. More like, invest in SpaceX to catch the first pod to Mars.
The Department of Labor takes a very dim view of such non-compensatory activities https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.pdf so corporate bodies (non-profits included) are understandably cautious about recruiting anyone into such positions and then opening themselves up to litigation on unpaid wages.
High precision timestamps allow you to more reliably determine if a file has changed. If a writer uses the rewrite-then-move approach for atomic updates, and the reader polls with stat() to detect a change, it's possible that the reader will fail to observe a change if the timestamps are low resolution.
I don't really want to talk about projects when it's not yet finished. But we are gathering[1][2] training data as of now everyday on how a pentester uses a proxy such as mitmproxy by recording keystrokes and marks a API vulnerable. With enough data it will be a matter of choosing an ML model to train on it.

For an analogy, its like gathering data for self driving car.

Your view would be fair if it was openly stated to the smart kids in their young age. Knowing that they're on their own, whatever they end up doing would be an informed choice and their responsibility entirely.

This isn't what happens in reality though. Schools and teachers demand submission to their authority on the implied promise that they are going to take care of you. When children believe that, and then are let down, is it the children's fault?

Gifted kids have high IQ, but probably not high EQ. They're defenceless against bullshit and blind to multi-level messages at that age, like most other kids.

Personally I don't blame the school system. What it does is not fair, but fairness is a fairy tale. It is a tool of society, with a useful purpose, and some unfortunate side-effects. The parents of a kid that's let down by the system should however take charge and start telling him how things really work, and make the kid realise that it's just him now.

This is incorrect. The point of ECC RAM is that if you are worried about bit-rot, you'll still get it without ECC RAM. Strictly speaking something like ZFS improves the situation - since a bit-flip which hits the checksum and not the data at the very least will raise an alert that something went wrong. But this will also happen with any other filesystem - it'll just be silent.

But the point is no filesystem can protect you from unreliable RAM.

I think this is the line of thinking that puts off western non-US citizens about the American espionage machine. The shadow state is ingrained in people's minds as a given, and is not seen a tool that democratically elected leaders wield and control.

In addition being orders of magnitude better resourced than other countries' spy agencies, the US intelligence machine don't seem to be politically restrained by the traditional spook moderators of popular support or respect for other countries' sovereignity.

You can think that German spooks don't listen to Trump's phone calls because they have less resources and possibly competence, but that's because the politicians and voters choose to rein them in.
Burp suite does not do a good job at fuzzing APIs - not biased but true. APIs require more structured fuzzers that expose application level problems - not like burp's fuzzers which are working on raw HTTP requests which was useful sometime ago when you had to find bugs in the actual server implementation. This is not relevant in the web application security space anymore apart from the fields of research which is exactly what most web shops not interested to do. You can still use Burp for that but the user needs to do all the heavy lifting by hand. How does Burp do recursive XML or JSON fuzzing? It doesn't. You can write a plugin for that but that defeats the purpose of using an off the shelf tool.
One so-far-unsolved problem for me in browsers is how to make using multiple profiles at the same time smooth without adding many windows to desktop.

I'm using Chrome and run several profiles: personal, work, social media etc. Since I tend to use all of these throughout the day, I have several browser windows and several tabs. This is not very convenient. I would prefer system where I could share the same window with multiple profiles, maybe even having a list a combined list of tabs from different profiles on the left side.
