> I'm gonna stick to buying used for less than the cost of your accident

The cost here wasn't to the Tesla driver, but to one of the people sharing the road with them without any say in the matter. :)

Part of the cost of an expensive to repair car is an externality on all the other drivers.
I could think of few:

- better acceleration than other cars (this a bit encourages people tho show it off)

- autopilot which is still in beta, it works most of the time, which is a bit dangerous because people get used to it and reduce their attention, which is dangerous when it fails[1]

- autoparking similar as autopilot, it works but once in a while can make a mistake

The repairs are also expensive, my friend recently purchased model S and when he was parking he judged distance poorly and went too far hitting a parked truck in front of him and slightly bending his bumper on the side. The repair apparently will cost $3,500. I'm guessing they want to replace whole bumper, but it still way more expensive that bumper replacement in other cars.

Because it's not optimal for programming. It's however great for scripting.

If you are a good enough programmer you want the power of ex regular expressions and you can solve almost any problem out there.

If you aren't you aren't much better off as you still need to learn how to program.

As a scripting language however it can be great because you can be much more opinionated about what should be prioritized.

What would be much more interesting and useful IMO was if normal languages created a visual environment akin to the visual programming languages we see sometimes.
Most visitors would like to try nightclubs on the river bank, and try local restaurants at Skadarlija, but that is really a matter of taste. Belgrade has a population of 1.5 million, and it lives 24/7/365 so you won't be bored whatever you like. Cafes are full during the day, and nightclubs during the night practically every day of the week.
Ask HN: Good place to get help on / learn WebAssembly? (beginner level)
I started to get some interest in WebAssembly after seeing the possible applications and decided to take the leap this week-end.

I managed to get past the hello world stage on my own with some help from stackoverflow but I'm now stuck while trying to re-implement my js game of life in wasm. The IRC #webassembly does not seem active.

Any good place you know for some practical advice ?

The webassembly, emscripten, mozilla docs are a bit overwhelming and not that much example oriented and the tutorials I found are probably out of date on many aspects considering the moving target that WebAssembly is...
I don't understand the advantage of this. Surely it must exert the same forces as the usual shaft-mounted propeller, and therefore require bearings of the same strength? What's the advantage? Is it something to do with the load being distributed all around the rim instead of concentrated at the center?

If you don't like compensation the door is open, you can leave. Look, I agree with you in principle, but I'm now a large shareholder in a business, so I see the other side of the argument too. The goal isn't really to stop anyone from pursuing something unrelated, an idea that's mostly theirs. The goal is to avoid Levandovsky-style backstabbing. Especially for small companies, this can be fatal.

I'd like to share some thoughts:

- Visual programming tools usually only work at one abstraction level (your first point)

- Often centered around a gimmick and cannot encode "normal" detail-oriented imperative code efficiently

- Only a fraction of a given program is amenable to flow charts, Visual Basic-style forms, etc. Unfortunately, most visual programming environments are all-encompassing.

- So VPs tend to become blunt, awkward tools that lack power of expression, ergonomic editors, scalability to real usecases, etc.

FWIW, I do believe that a better code editor is possible through non-plaintext programming. (Serialize token trees and ASTs, instead of plaintext.) But such an editor would likely be used in text-editor-mode >50% of the time, just due to the high information content and sheer readability of text.
I would think anyone even remotely familiar with economics would realize how significant even small groups of agents and how they can have rippling effects across an economy.

Maybe there was a lapse in judgment somewhere, but that doesn't excuse him from doing what he did, and that lapse can't justify his actions, which caused HUNDREDS of billions of dollars of misleading money to move around.

However, I think he was too harshly sentenced, and I think these "make an example out of him" cowboy judges only exasperate the situation even more. If I were committing global-scale fraud right about now, I'd spend even more time and take even more caution to make sure that I can't be caught or unmasked. Hayes will serve as an inspiration to future fraudsters, you can count on that.
Poster isn't biting on this request. Somewhat ironically the quote is sourced from an article about a disfavored language arguing why cobol should be a disfavored language.

Engineering is subject still to styles and fads, I guess the quote is just furthering that general mentality. COBOL isn't "cool" whatever that should mean.
I disagree with several here: The problem is that we still program in text, and that's deeply sub-optimal.* Once we move to programming in data, visual programming becomes both natural and intuitive, much like data visualization.

In other words, VP itself is a red herring. The leap that needs to first to be made is that from text to data.

I personally still prefer a password vault stored in the cloud combined with a strong master password.

You can quite freely backup the password vault, because pure access to it isn't the end-all-be-all. It's essentially a second factor.

I'd also like to compare this to a simpler challenge-response based protocol. Have the shared secret be e.g. SS = scrypt(hmac(passwd, serviceID)), and the challenge be nonce, to which one should respond hmac(SS, nonce).

The biggest difference I see is the issue of leaking the shared secret. It doesn't leak anything about the passwd, but compromises access to the service. If your public key leaks, that still can't be used to authenticate you with the service. If I'm not mistaken, the shared secret approach has the advantage of better privacy.

I think any group whose vehicle purchase decisions are colored by gas prices are not the same group buying Tesla's or luxury SUVs. I would expect the overlap to be very small at least. My guess is Tesla drivers put fewer miles on them than average.
all of which have prime factors ;)

besides, you may as well consider 1 a prime factor. the task is just a silly programming toy problem. 1 not being prime is pure definition, including 1 in the primes would not materially change the definition of primes. just make a lot of advanced math tedious to write down.

Also, Sweden does not need a sub that can travel the world under its own power.

From the article, a larger ship was used to move the sub from Swedish waters to the Pacific for these war games.

Nuclear subs can go wherever they want, whenever they want.

For Swedish use, however, the sub will never have to be far from home, so the tradeoff is worth it for them.
Have you looked at Softcover?

I've used this for runbooks and it's awesome -- you always have an up-to-date copy of the runbook on your phone, and if you're using google/apple device management, you can remove them once your employee has left.
I don't think it is the paradigm that sucks but the existing implementations...it is a hard design problem to solve. No one has quite figured out the right approach....often the existing implementations make you click and fill out enough fields to make the entire exercise much worse than just coding something up in a text editor.

I believe the solution lies in coming up with a way to compose pre-built components into complete applications...I think the existing efforts involving Angular,React,VueJS,Vaadin..etc are all pointing in the right direction....I have been working on Solvent (www.crudzilla.com) for sometime now and solving the UI building (drag-drop) is something that I am still actively thinking about...one of these days someone will crack the problem :)
Imagine a world where people only bought bespoke suits. You go to a tailor and are measured and pick out your fabric and wait a few weeks. Then you pick up your suit. It's perfect. You pay $5000 and take it home.

Most of us don't do that. Most of us make due with off the rack suits with some tailoring for 1/10th the price.

With programming we have an expectation of bespoke design, so anything less, even if it's much easier, seems lame.

A potentially useful reframing of the question is, "What are all the common use cases that could be solved sufficiently with significantly less effort using visual programming?"
Well said. I would also add: why did this bathroom thing even need to be pointed out?

Is it not obvious that it and other moments in this movie were hollywood slices of a horrific, decades-long, deliberate campaign of dehumanization and oppression?

Was the point that because the bathroom scenes as depicted were not 100% historically accurate that the oppression of African Americans was somehow misrepresented or exaggerated?

Maybe the commenter is aware that all of the memorable vignettes in Apollo 13 did not occur exactly as presented there because they were exciting distillations of what actually happened. Do they normally call those out when talking about the meaningfulness of the movie Apollo 13? I doubt it.
No, I was talking about two separate time periods. Sysadmins were defining IPSec transports to protect port 23 traffic between mainframes and their terminals for years before SSH appeared. Allowing Telnet sessions to traverse the public Internet was one of the original motivations for IPSec.

The original point of SSH was that it didn't expect the client and the server to be part of the same administrative domain—i.e. it didn't expect a sysadmin to have been involved in advance to pair the devices and define a tunnel. This is why SSH's auth didn't, for the longest time, support any kind of centralized certificate-based PKI: it was for the cases where there wasn't a central authority in common, but rather just two peers that happened to want to talk securely—perhaps without the consent of their respective sysadmins; perhaps even despite the policies of their respective sysadmins.

SSH's "on the spot, look at my keys" auth has become so ubiquitous that sysadmins seem to have forgotten that, most of the time, they do control the administrative domain both devices are under, and can in fact just pair them using e.g. client certificates issued by a private X.509 CA. Fingerprint-based auth should be seen as a last resort, not a first resort; and, likewise, Telnet shouldn't be seen as a last resort, but rather a core tool serving a core purpose in a layered design: enhancing a "local-equivalent" (LAN or VPN) IP link into being a PTY session, upon which any number of things can be run. (For example, "dial-in" MUDs, of which a number still exist.)

Know your Internal and Public ip adress with Command line tool
I'm pretty sure the cool kids in my school did individual sports (golf, tennis, track), were in 2-3 AP classes, and aced their SATs. So that'd depend on where and when you are.

There's absolutely a stigma against not confirming to prevailing norms, which is a bit of a different discussion. Also the mess that is putting hundreds or even thousands of adolescents in a confined space with minimal oversight.

>Uh huh. Can you quantify that? Or did you just sit down and think really really really hard about it so it must be true.

Why did you get into it?

>Is that actually a real problem?

Yes. Though, representation generally is probably a better way to have said it. Though availability of role models and mentors with similar life experience is a factor as well.

>Are you saying a white kid will be dissuaded from playing basketball, or even being an NBA fan because the best players are black?

Fandom and participation aren't the same things, and while there's some overlap between former participation and later fandom in sports, it's far from 1 to 1.

I'm not sure if white kids would be discouraged due to lack of representation in the NBA. All other things being equal, yes, that's a likely outcome. But all other things are not equal. Race and sports in the US is an interesting topic in its own right.

>In similar spirit, are you really trying to argue that a young girl will not be able to be inspired by Woz, or Jobs, or Elon Musk because they are men?

Not at all. But a lack of representation has a few different impacts. At the personal level, individuals find it easier to identify with folks who they see as being like them. What exactly like them means varies, but the younger the child, the less abstract they tend to be. Second, parents and teachers are influenced by lack of representation, so it feeds back into a loop of lack of community encouragement, which doesn't help.

>What dystopian, ugly world are you living in?

The same one as you, of course.
Open-source, an all-volunteer, enthusiast community, where the only requirement is you show up and write good code has a gender gap.

You can even be an open-source developer of one by starting your own project.

Maybe that tells you something about the general interest in programming by women. If people aren't volunteering, maybe they just aren't interested in that thing?
You can gain a lot of time by typing in your command line to know your public or internal ip.

I imagine that it is topped up by either a tender ship or at port.

This sub was shipped to the Pacific in another ship for the war games, indicating that it is not practical for it to travel that far on its own.
A $13k claim would make that increase in premium quite significant, though, for a <4 mph ding that would normally be settled by both parties without any insurance involvement.

For comparison, the average "newer used" (1-3 years old) car in 2017 sold for $15374, so a low speed car park ding cost almost as much as destroying a nearly-new car.

Sure, but you end up paying for this directly in the form of insurance increases like this. Additionally, your taking on a large liability, if the car gets damaged in this way and the person who damaged it drives off, or worse yet damaged it without the interaction of another car, you are left footing the bill or reporting it to your insurance (which is another gamble).
I honestly don't care. There are extremely few instances where that's actually the case. And it still doesn't excuse the fact that the job is evil.

Yeah, I'm an every-day-user of enterprise Duo app. It is as good as a third-party app can be (on iOS specifically), yet you have to do extra steps as compared to Touch ID alone: force-press the notification, click Accept, then confirm with Touch ID. The first steps out of two are just a limitation of how apps work in iOS. If your phone is in sleep mode, you will miss the notification as well. Such things really need to be implemented on OS level.

But apart from arguably good iOS app UI, it takes the whole IT department to enable Duo 2FA and educate employees on how to enable and use it on their personal accounts, and that's what I don't like about Duo and other solutions. Also, this is just a second step of the two-factor auth, which means the first step (usually plain old username/password auth) is still there.

In my ideal world, I'd prefer something that worked out of the box (with very easy bootstrapping process). I believe SecureLogin, as a concept, has potential here, and if implemented right, might lead to some standardization and implementation of more transparent 1FA/2FA flows.

The question here is how propaganda works. If you compare it to advertising, it would seem that widespread and indiscriminate dissemination works wonders.

That is not to say you should deny jihadism exists, but letting the most vocal jihadis be the ones to tell the story doesn't seem wise.

The best argument I see against this is essentially the martyrdom of oppression. It doesn't help when they can claim "See, they are afraid of us so they must censor us".

Consider the 'fair and balanced' approach to global warming. Giving the obviously wrong a platform doesn't seem to have worked.
So you agree with me in principle, but when it comes to action you feel we should fuck over the worker in the name of profit?

To quote Martin Luther King Jr.:

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom;"

I've seen no study which demonstrated any causal link between raising the minimum wage and technological progress in automation and frankly I'd be very surprised if there were any connection. Research money doesn't tend to come from angry Burger King franchisees.

I have, however, seen restaurant lobby groups threatening an unlikely robot takeover of restaurant labor if minimum wages should rise:

I suspect progress in automation follows it's own path and when it destroys jobs, it destroys jobs such that no amount of wage cutting will impede its progress.

The way people have implemented visual programming has turned out to be a bit of an oxymoron. Visual and symbolic are entirely different channels of representation & understanding (for the most part). Representing a program using lines of code and throwing some "visual magic" to spread out lines of code across a screen doesn't take advantage of what EITHER visual or symbolic manipulation has to offer.

Visual programming efforts have tried to visualize code and operate at the wrong abstraction. Programming is just the act of creating programs. In a visual programming environment, the author / programmer should use visual interactions to "write the program". This means a few things needs to be considered:

- the representation - how is a computer program represented? how is state represented?
- direct manipulation - imagine using a tool like Photoshop having to compile / build to see your changes between every edit.
- input devices - mouse / keyboard works for writing lines of code. Touchscreen is a better input device / interface for visual programming but still lacking (no tactile response).

In my opinion, not enough is reinvented when visual programming efforts are tried. I think the entire stack (human input --> program state) needs to be reinvented and reconsidered. Bret Victor has a great section on visual program in his FAQ for one of his talks - http://worrydream.com/DrawingDynamicVisualizationsTalkAddend...
Happy to hear back from like minded person.

1. I myself hate native apps, but the catch is web apps are 100% depended on the servers behind them. So I would be responsible for JS I serve any single request. Otherwise, Web version is fine.

Lots of catch 22. I would definitely through $10k+ on a polished UX + native app, if someone with large userbase can commit to using it. I already gave this project a TON of my time.

2. I hate that 50MB size of electron apps too. Browser extension does have same problem as a website though. That's neither more secure nor more fast derivation, so that idea was dropped first.

3. Actually there's amazing self-discovery iframe - https://securelogin.pw/s when in iframe it will parent.postMessage if you have a native app. But Safari does not support 3rd party iframes...

You think showing app links on the same screen is better? Good idea

4. Will improve the demo app

That's what profiles are for. If you want another identity: create another profile. It is possible to keep unlinked accounts under the same SecureLogin profile, BUT we end up with all websites asking for your E-Mail (like they need it for some reason) so that's why it is sent by default.

Real privacy is hard, it's not just different email. It's different browsing context and sometimes even VM. That's why I do not pursue paranoid level privacy, and just offer Profiles.
