It was a deliberate design decision as the issue was mitigated in a different manner starting in early 2016 (and introducing that check wouldn't be very effective anyway for other reasons).

The results of the mitigation are shown in the paper as Figure 5. The success of the techniques in the paper decline rapidly over the course of 2016 and would effectively reach zero if the dataset were extended (this is noted in the text when it states that RingCT transactions are immune, although even without RingCT it would still effectively reach zero)

For nearly everyone, Facebook is just better in every single way for the things that they actually want something "social" to do - which seems (from looking over people's shoulders, since I'm no longer a Facebook user) to be having group chats in real-time, posting baby pictures, sharing and commenting on crappy Buzzfeed material, and organising events. Twitter doesn't do any of those very well. From a really simple perspective, Facebook already has a mechanism for posting status updates, which is the main thing people understand that Twitter does... and if everyone you know is already on Facebook (which has been the case probably for almost the entirety of Twitter's existence), why would you post your updates on Twitter?

Sorry. I was comparing both sides as an analogy why FPGA's won't be available on mass-market CPUs anytime soon.

The reason Itanium never achieved the mass acceptance Intel expected is because, even with Windows running on it, it never ran x86 software at a reasonable price/performance point. Java was Sun's attempt to make SPARC viable by breaking with the ISA compatibility problem.

Today, with Linux, JVM, .NET Core and interpreted languages running a lot of the server workloads we have, it'd probably be a very different story.

When compared with the other 64-bit architectures we had (I forgot IBM's z/Architecture) amd64 is still an awful register starved overcomplicated architecture.

Python vs. Ruby: Which is best for web development?
The thing is, "programming" tests might be the most robust solution if you know how to do it - but it also can be a waste of developer time. In the end, you spend your time on debugging the tests itself...

In my experience, record and playback can work well. Especially visual, screenshot-based solutions like Sikuli or Kantu are actually more stable then most developers think. And the beauty of them is that they can also be used by non-developers, i. e. "manual testers", so the developers can actually work on the main product, not the test suite.
If it's so good a mechanic why does the Master Sword not break permanently? Instead it repairs over time -- which is exactly what other games with item damage usually let you do, repair (over time, with an item, or talking to someone). It's a better mechanic than permanent breakage for everything, but if you really want it you can add in a point-of-no-repair. Having just one item be different here is a smell.

The power issue is separate and can be resolved (or not, it's sometimes fun to immediately feel like a badass while never being invincible) in a lot of ways. I don't really see how permanent weapon damage would make much difference in those tradeoffs, at least compared to a game that has repair.

> The point they are trying to make is that the anonymity set between shielded addresses is that of all transactions in the anonymous set.

This way of stating is somewhat questionable in light of the claims in the second half of the paper.

What is shown in the second half of the paper is that all possible sources are not equally likely and this most probably applies to Zcash (and every other coin) as well. In the Figure 1 illustration of Zcash, it is most likely that the rightmost (most recent) arc is the correct one. Of course this can't be stated with certainty in either coin.

Another way of interpreting the trend shown in Figure 8 is that Zcash gains little (though of course it still gains something) from including all transactions in the anonymity set (arbitrarily far to the right) because once one departs from focusing predominantly on the more recent transactions, the effective anonymity set does not grow much.

> Instead, it looks like clients weren't even doing basic checks:

>> We find that among Monero transaction inputs with one or more mixins, 62% of these are deducible, i.e. they can be incontrovertibly linked to the prior TXO they spend.

There are no basic checks that can solve that issue. It was fixed in a different way.

> even if Monero fixes everything in this upcoming release,

Most of the issues in the paper were already addressed in the past, and the paper says this. The remaining issue is the time bias which the paper states has already been improved, but can be improved further.

What's the Java equivalent of Kernighan and Ritchie's C programming language?
I have moderate experience with java (did a intro to AI class in school and all the practical work was in java) but I only picked up the language in that class (which wasn't a class intended to teach the language). I'd like a textbook recommendation for getting a more formal introduction to the language and I enjoyed the C programming language text. Wondering what the HN community considers the equivalent for java
Integrating Evernote into VS Code
Same experience, except i would strongly advise against using core data, and i would also recommend to do layout with autolayout in xib ( not storyboards) for complex views, instead of code, and use manual layout only for performance critical code.

Many people don't realize they don't actually need a database.

. Most app have their full set of data weight less than a megabyte, so it fits in memory without any trouble.

. Querying is often never more than a call to a map on an array ( simpler to debug than a core data query, and type safe)

. Atomicity with concurrent access, if you absolutely need it, is a real mess in core data. Even with core data you often end up doing everything on a single thread anyway (and most often this is the main thread).

. Core data will blow up in your face, either when trying to upgrade your app, or duplicate the data for backup. In ways that'll make you sweat everytime you push a new version.

So my advice is to work with a dumb data structure ( structs and not classes) that you dump in a file when application goes to background (or periodically if you want to play it safe), and perform your queries manually, and load all at once at application start.

And if you need parallell access to the data, work with message passing style concurrency, and have a data component that works within its own thread ( very easy to do with gcd). You'll feel like writing a bit of boilerplate code, but at least you'll understand what's going on.

Not a very good article. Almost clickbait. There is no way Twitter would've replaced Bloomberg (though the comparison is a good insight although stretched). Monetizing Twitter is not what hurt twitter, Facebook is certainly monetizing. Though moving out a product CEO for an Ad CEO could've hurt it. It's unlikely getting rid of third-party clients hurt Twitter...not having them never hurt Facebook. Twitter is certainly not a utility to most people the way Facebook is, that's fair enough...maybe it is around being "the pulse of planet" but in Twitter really is that as it's cited ridiculously often for reactions and really the pulse of the globe...regardless a more product-focused CEO could potentially transform Twitter into something more like a utility service, but the author doesn't really tell us how or why or know what that would be.

Without the forces that were pushed against OS for the good part of the 90s, it would have arguably taken over the software world.

In that situation, Apple would not have succeeded as a walled garden, as it has.

So, although OS-the-product is still going strong, OS-the-movement was effectively stopped on its tracks. Which is a very bad thing, in my opinion.

> he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

> He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose

I totally agree with that. I guess I am in the very fortunate position where I feel like I can achieve all of these things without being an employee at a company. I've been freelancing for a few years now (sometimes very part-time), so I feel like I'm "out of the system", and I have no desire to become an employee at a company. I feel like money is the only thing that would make me change my mind (and it would have to be a lot.)

I admit that I am using a strange definition of "work". To me, work is something that is boring and difficult. When I am "working" 12 hours per day on my own apps, or if I'm volunteering full-time for a cause that I care about, then I don't consider that to be work. Yes, I know it's still work, but it doesn't feel like it.

I suppose if I found the right company, where I have a high degree of autonomy, I had access to a lot of resources, and I can learn and invent things all day, then I would consider that. But in my mind, when I think of "company", I'm picturing "yet another SaaS or mobile app".

And so I guess that might be the gist of these studies.

I keep trying to get my head around javascript, and each time end-up walking away metaphorically shaking my head in disbelief.

Which parts are you having problems getting your head around? Typescript doesn't change anything fundamental about the language (especially if compared to ES6), but does add a bit of nice syntactic sugar and (optional) compile time type checking, which is really handy for catching certain bugs and making your code easier to read and reason about. Typescript's big advantage (and disadvantage) is that it is a strict superset of JavaScript. This means that all your existing JavaScript code is already valid Typescript code and so you can move your code from JavaScript to Typescript in small incremental steps. The downside of this is it places some limits on how the language can evolve.

If you want a web language that 'feels' closer to C++ or C#, your best bet is probably to check out Dart.

Thanks for your reply but I have no idea why this is the top voted reply as it does not consider my factors . As noted by others:

1) The doctor/practice does not have my latest mobile phone number as I have not been to them in years. Having said that, it may be an old number on which I used to use Facebook. This friend suggestion is only in the past few months, which suggests that they are mining friend circles in historic usage data - everyone you know, and ever knew. All that being said, this would require my doctor to have my personal mobile number on her personal mobile phone on which she would have used Facebook at some point in time, which is absolutely impossible in a professional setting.

2) I have not installed Facebook on my current phone.

I'm still not convinced by any argument here, beyond the doctor actively looking me up on Facebook personally outside work.

I've read many, many articles, but I wonder if there are some important things that you only learn with experience that I should prepare for.
Thanks for reading my post and noting this. I'm not sure the reverse relation applies either as it would require the doctor to have my personal contact on her mobile which is absolutely not the case as this is a shared practice and I haven't been to her in years.
