In my current project I code about 70% C++, 30% C#.

If you don’t need fancy stuff, you can stick to whatever .NET version is built into your target Windows (e.g. 4.5.1 for Win 8.1, or 4.6 for Win 10), and you should have zero issues with deployment (if that’s why you don’t like VMs). While technically a VM, .NET is very good one, and the quality of its runtime and framework is outstanding.

OTOH, I can’t recommend .NET AOT compilation. I used similar MS technology called .NET Native. They have the stuff for a couple of years for Windows 8 Store & UWP platforms. I found and reported multiple bugs with the technology, especially in the area of unmanaged interop. They eventually fix their bugs, but they wasted quite a bit of my time, and I wonder how many more are going to be there.

The third one (only reported via e-mail), .NET Native fails to marshal custom COM interfaces implemented in C# classes to C++ libraries, at least on ARM for Win10 IoT.

I just looked at my house and I think the Zestimate is too high.

I bought the house 9 years ago and the Zestimate is about $10k more than I paid. It's right in line with what the previous owner was asking when he sold it but I wasn't willing to pay that and I likely couldn't sell it for that much.

> Thus, I think the correct reaction to this is more towards the "oops... that wasn't a good idea" than "everybody panic!"

"Oop..."? - Is that what you'd write on the graves of dissidents whose efforts to communicate securely were subverted by a keylogger in an audio driver?

Too much over the top? The HN-compatible version: Actual reverse engineering can be punished by law in most of the first world (through the illegal status of tools that can be used to circumvent access restrictions). Of course, this is close to impossible to prove when all you publish is the security advisory and thus nobody really cares. "Oops..." someone accidentally just made a recording & backup of all the evidence against you :)

There is no "correct" reaction, only individually justified reactions and if you can afford to just say "oops..." you may consider yourself lucky.

It can be very isolating. I try and make sure I'm in situations where I know I will have a good chance of hearing so I can stay in the mix.

Imagine sitting around the table with 20 people, everyone else is speaking Chinese and you maybe know a few words of the language - you might grab the odd word or phrase that people have said but you are not in the conversation really. You quickly lose track of what is being talked about and as time goes on, more and more topics are discussed, you realise you don't want to say anything yourself in case what you are about to say has already been talked about and you will look stupid. So you fade in to the background and just hope no-one pipes up with, "hey, Bob, what do you think about that?".

Modern hearing aids give you great tools to combat these situations and they do work.

I guess the difference for me really is that hearing is now hard work, it's not something I can relax and do passively, I need to concentrate on words, listen hard, lip read and fill in the gaps of context I missed. It can be exhausting, especially in big groups. I've just upgraded to a pair of GN ReSound Linx 3D aids, which are a massive help to me.

Are you serious? This quote is all you need to see:

> Left to its own devices, the private sector is far more likely to impede technological progress than to advance it. That’s because real innovation is very expensive to produce: it involves pouring extravagant sums of money into research projects that may fail, or at the very least may never yield a commercially viable product. In other words, it requires a lot of risk – something that, mythmaking aside, capitalist firms have little appetite for

Meanwhile, America keeps on innovating despite being capitalist imperialist scum!!! What a terrible, blatantly biased article. I'm a big fan of public sector research and funding, but let's be real here. The person who wrote this article should go back to school.
they hit one of the two major problems in informatics... :D the number 3 in particular :D
It's happening in a space previously devoid of such automated tracking.
Let's look at what Evan's offering on his Patreon

Name in file in repository, $10 * 88 = $880

Name top of file in repo, $50 * 5 = $250

Small company logo in file in repo, $100 * 6 = $600

Medium company logo in file in repo, $250 * 0 = $0

Company logo on homepage and Github project: $500 * 11 = $5,500

Company logo on homepage, Github, and in documentation: $2,000 * (limited to one sponsor) = $2,000

So companies are paying for 80% + of the Vue.js income, and the more expensive options with better exposure are in fact more popular than the cheaper ones. To a company, the difference between paying $100 or $500 a month is not worth worrying over, but a direct link from a project page (700k+ impressions per month) is clearly valuable.

Evan should offer more than a single top tier slot, he could have 5 * $4000 instead of 1 * $2000. And why not add a new top-tier for 5-6 figures. If you don't ask, you'll never get it.
I feel that this article tells much more about Guardian than America.
Can't wait for the Knight Rider one
I'm always surprised when people choose to read text in very, very long lines. I've found that 10 to 15 words per line speeds my reading a lot. But equally, I don't want to force that on other people, and I find it really annoying when people have web sites that are effectively narrow columns in a wide, blank (or filled with ads) screen.

Do you always only read websites in a maximised window?

Anyway, I'm moving the image to the other side. I can easily squash the text into a fixed width column - do you think that would be better?

I run a lot of VMware:

* Set the esxis to have five external sources

* Search fwenable-ntpd (https://www.v-front.de/2012/01/howto-use-esxi-5-as-ntp-serve...) and download the .vib (do a security audit on it - its a zip file I think - to ensure it is what you think it is). Install the .vib which simple adds a ntp daemon option to the firewall ports. This works on v6.5

* Run ntpd on Linux VMs, pointed at the hosts with the local clock fudge as a fallback

* For Windows VMs in a domain, set the AD DC with PDC emulator role to sync its clock to the host via the VM guest tools, leave the rest alone

* On your monitoring system make sure that it has an independent list of five sources and use plugins like ntp-peer for ntpds and ntp-time for Windows (Nagios/Icinga etc)

With the above recipe, ntpq -p <host> shows offsets less than 1 ms across the board for ntpds after stabilising.

I've sifted through 80% of the comments here, and I couldn't find a mention about the unintended consequences of this technology.

Ethical vs. Unethical, Pro-Privacy vs. Against Privacy are the two common discussion points. I, however, think the bigger problem here is that there's a very non-zero probability that this technology may cause unintended consequences simply by relying on false/inaccurate data.

For one, I work in analytics (loaded catch-all occupation) and I work with people who would marry their "data skills" if they could. In my industry, false positives of 80% is acceptable, and openly admitted errors in "machine-learning" logic (quoted to highlight my company's buzz-word usage, but practically non-existent) are made daily. People create algorithms, and people make errors.

Let's let our imagination run wild here for a second: It's 2030, and this technology becomes ubiquitous to the point where no one objects. Businesses take all the data from sentiments, gender, age...etc. to optimize for their target demographic, and price accordingly. In other words, let's assume this tech is used for perfect price discrimination. Economic theory dictates this is a win-win for everyone since everyone starts paying their willingness to pay. But, let's assume there's a catastrophe and medicine is in dire need. Price discrimination works fine assuming perfect competition, and is a useful framework, but it breaks down empirically where we live in a society that doesn't behave so rationally. Who survives? Those willing to pay the most, and the algorithm worked flawlessly here. But it was not intended to dictate who survives.

What I'm trying to say is that we should be cognizant of the fact that we don't live in a perfect bubble, and technology like this should be scrutinized for it's effects exhaustively- including any unintended consequences. We live in a society (duh), and as a society, it is up to us, with the help of policy makers, to determine the fate of this technology.
Oh man, I loved Whiz Kids when it was on TV. I'm not specifically looking for bugs or 8 bit stuff just really spelunking into where the code came from.

What Is the Best Performing Tech Stock Ever?
Proprietary software developers have little incentive aside from the possibility of discovery to not take advantage of users. It's sometimes difficult to determine whether it's malicious or not, and there's a greater chance for plausible deniable---we don't know the story behind that code.

If an anti-feature is discovered in free software, it can be promptly removed and replaced, regardless of whether the developers of the software consider it to be an anti-feature. What if HP wants this to remain for debugging/diagnostic purposes? There's little you can do about that. (I'm not saying they do.)

The fact that free software can have bugs is an open source argument that falls apart when the argument becomes "open source is better because of technical advantage X".[0]

There are frequent arguments that the freedom of drivers isn't important---mainly because it's inconvenient to use a system without non-free drivers and requires purchasing replacement hardware to work around. This is an example that maybe can help counter that point.

Exactly. Being concerned about privacy doesn't mean that you don't have a price at which you'll sell specific data of yours.

We need these "personal data for discount" transactions to become more explicitly consensual. Despite the well-tuned sensitivities of those in this community, we have a long way to go before most consumers are informed about this unwitting marketplace.

> Their hardware is pretty much best in class in both absolute performance and performance per watt, so I would say that it is a pretty objective evaluation.

There are many more criteria:

- Openness: Open specification, existence of open source drivers, necessity for a firmware blob vs. open firmware, support of open standards

- Time the hardware is supported by producers with new drivers for new platforms (NVidia loves to cease support for older GPU chips).

- cost and cost-benefit ratio (the whole Intel vs. AMD vs. ARM flamewar ;-) )

- Existence of intentionally blocked features: Some hardware vendors intentionally block features, sometimes even with the possibility to unlock them afterwards (e.g. by firmware or fuses) if you pay them additional money

- Willingness to go to legal limbo in the interest of the users: For example when copy protection schemes for CDs were common in the early 00 years, producers of CD/DVD writers tried to surpass each other with capabilities of their devices to be still able to read out such copy-protected CDs. A modern example might be how other copy protection schemes for, say, audio or video are implemented: In software and written in such a bad way that it will (hopefully) soon be cracked or deeply dongled down in a security chip that is part of the hardware.

I think a more properly-REST approach would be to PUT a representation of the resource with the action applied. That is, rather than POSTing to /resources/:id/close, one would PUT a closed version of the resource to /resources/:id.
Yeah, it just means that you can distribute the system across a cluster. Since we only talk about the CAP theorem in the context of distributed systems, you have to assume "P" has already been chosen. So the theorem is really about a trade-off between "C" and "A".

There are extensive laws in place that protect the personal information of patients and students. If a hospital had this same issue, then it would be fined and depending on the state, it would have to inform all of it's users that it may have leaked personal information. Similarly, educational instituons will not share your educational record with your parents no matter how much they beg unless you're a minor.

It's not a stretch that there should be laws that affect all companies that collect data on their users. I hope it happens soon! These companies should be paying quite a bit in fines for these mistakes, not just a few thousand for a bug bounty. Otherwise our personal information will most likely leak and be all over the web.

Literally POST some JSON to a resource with a query and compare the code using superagent to the fetch API.

That is irrelevant. Defaults should be sane.
