Stories like this make me wonder if a startup will come along and establish a marketplace for this sort of thing. I certainly don't have millions to offer, but there are people I'd be happy to donate to charity in exchange for a few hours with (dinner or otherwise).

Besides some of the other good observations nearby, I wanted to add that you should admit you are deficient in relationship experience. You should change your attitude, and be thankful that you might meet someone who has had more experience, and perhaps her superiority in this regard could complement your ignorance.

In other words, you might learn something.
This is a problem mate. People would like to have life outside of work too. Why should one always work beyond work time ? Sure, updating your skills is important and there are other ways to improve than committing 1-2 hours everyday to some side project. The balance is tipped towards younger engineers cos they have more time than someone who is in a relationship or married or having kids.

EDIT : It is rather appalling sometimes when you think about the unreasonable expectations the companies have on developers / professionals. To be available at all times to resolve any issues. 24x7 culture. We have to be sure what we are being sold about.
”Skating on a frozen mystery” is a wonderful turn of phrase. Is it yours or is it an idiom I haven't (yet) come across?
Yes. If nonce reuse is expected and distinguishable messages are considered to be a problem, then you really need a larger nonce. AES-GCM-SIV was designed to be nonce misuse resistant while still supporting short nonces. That's why Coda Hale called it a safer footgun. It's much safer, but still a footgun.

An AEAD construction based on XChaCha20/XSalsa20-Poly1305 will solve this problem, as would be deriving a per-message key from your master key + a random salt. I'm not an expert, but this seems to me like a safer method if you want to positively eliminate the possibility of nonce reuse, and don't care about the extra overhead from larger nonces and lack of standardization.
I honestly don't think you have to do any of those things. You don't need to blog or contribute to OSS or write code on the weekends. I've never had a hiring manager care about any of it. Most just care that you can get along with other people and solve problems relevant to the job. Which is really another way of saying they want well adjusted people.

You can do all those things as well but most people won't care. Blogging and pushing code to GitHub has helped me become a better programmer but it has not directly helped me get jobs.

That's not really how arguments work. I mean, sure, sometimes it works that way, but other times, like this time, one person is clearly in the wrong, and is simply refusing to listen to the other side.
Creative vs Aureal Semiconductor is a good example. Creative sued them multiple times while at the same time stealing their patented technology! Creative lost every single lawsuit, but legal costs forced Aureal into bankruptcy. Creative bought assets on the cheap.
Yeah, it's been mentioned in all the posts. I assume it was enough work just to get x86 working, and there's almost no 64-bit-only Windows software (certainly nothing you would want to run emulated).

As a married male software engineer in his 20s: the problem here is you. Your expectations are ridiculous and if you continue to seek a woman who meets them you will likely die alone.

You want an Indian woman living in the PNW, roughly your age (I assume) yet without any relationship experience, limited alcohol consumption and didn't party in her 20s?

I'm sure many people here would like a rich supermodel scientist who can cook a beautiful meal too. Would you say their inability to marry one is because of some change in society?

Drop your insane criteria entirely. You need to be meeting as many people as you can and _really_ getting to know them. For all you know, your perfect wife is a fun-loving African-American who's been in a few relationships and loves partying but right now, if you ran into her at a conference or something, you'd dismiss her instantly because she doesn't meet your silly criteria.

Also, don't be laser focused on marriage. If you go into all your relationships looking only for a wife, you're near certain to fail. Finding a wife (for me at least) is about getting to know someone first and deciding you want to spend your life with them second. It normally takes years for people to decide they're willing to make a commitment like marriage.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Do you mean if you have a patent that includes hardware, then that patent would prevent emulating the hardware in software? Wouldn't any software patent then be possible, by the simple expedient of describing it in the patent application as running on a custom single-purpose hardware device?

Well they can if fb include a copy of the session key, encrypted with the public key of the escrow authority, appended to the ciphertext. The crypto is done by the fb app, so it is within their ability.

Big companies are easier to coerce than e.g. the pgp developers. There is no way for you to wrap your own encryption layer around the one used by WhatsApp/etc. You can post pgp messages on those systems but that is something very few will do.

Show HN: A Golang Package for Consistent Hashing with Bounded Loads
There is an implicit question that begs answers. Are the people making the hiring decisions so incompetent that a person with minimal knowledge and experience is able to bamboozle them into getting a job whilst a more competent person with a good track record gets overlooked? I often wonder whether it is a pay peanuts ... situation.
Oh neat! I've been dabbling with a similar project for the TI Voyage 200... the Emscripten version isn't in the repo, but it's relatively straightforward to make work.

I also struggle with this stage, yet I think it comes to three steps:
1) Inform them why they should move away from these things (send them blog posts [of which there are plenty], practical examples, personal experience)
2) Tell them that a solution is to move away from these services
3) Provide alternatives (this is the hardest one for me to come up with ideas for, it's a crucial step yet in my opinion the hardest)
Cloudflare Fails to Limit Scope of Piracy Lawsuit
What sticks out like a sore thumb in this post is that you're approaching this like a candidate selection process. The most horrifying thing of all is that you're enumerating a list of criteria you want and nowhere do you even remotely mention human emotion. It's about finding somebody you love and not about satisficing bullet points.

Any woman who by sheer chance satisfied all those criteria and wasn't fucked in the head would probably be utterly uninterested in the idea of spending the rest of her life in a loveless marriage.

Hi, i'm the author of this package.

> If this piece didn't have a famous person associated with it, no one would read it on it's merit alone.

He wasn't famous when he wrote it, and one person did presumably read it - his friend, who asked for it.

I don't know what his friend did, but Thompson seems to have taken his own advice and succeeded. He lived a life that fit who he was, rather than being a person who fit the life that he fell into.

Like many people, I'm the second type: my life has revolved around the job I'm in, and changes to my life involved finding the next job like the current one; SCDC (Same Cubicle, Different Company). There's been no particular period of discovery, of not knowing what I'd be doing a year from now.

And because of that, I've always felt like I was missing something. I wonder if I ever met myself in passing, the real me.

"What I realized today, however, is that while I don’t so much mind AMP as a publisher, I really hate it as a user. I realized that EVERY TIME I would land on AMP page on my phone, I would click on the button to view the original URL, and would click again on the URL to be taken to the real website.

I don’t know why I do it, but for some reason it just doesn’t feel “right” to me to consume the content through the AMP. It feels slightly off, and I want the real deal even if it takes a few seconds extra to load."

I have subconsciously been doing the exact same thing for a while now, and I think this quote covers a good deal of public sentiment. It's weird to use AMP, yet slower without it.

Another main issue I have with AMP is that there is no speedy way to check the url, something I do quite frequently. Instead it's just Google's hosting for the site, with the source being only available by clicking on the link icon.
> Who defines criminal behaviour?

Sigh. I can't believe we're going there on this one. Just so we're clear, you think that maybe the definition of criminal behaviour shouldn't include wiping out systems without the owner's consent?

> And why is criminal behaviour always placed on the little guy when companies can always get the leeway of claiming ignorance?

I don't know what you are talking about. Criminal behaviour is placed on the criminal... and ignorance of the law is not a defense.

OP, this is where everything is headed.

Gone are the days of handing over a solid resume and quietly clocking out at 5pm. All that extra stuff like github and personal branding is the new language of the age. Without participating you look like a cave man to employers.

A fresh out of boot camp novice coder that is at least putting himself out there on social media has a huge advantage over an invisible genius because he is with the times. He's speaking modern english.

A terrible singer on youtube will get hired before the person with a golden voice that is still making 8tracks. Because people don't buy 8track cassettes anymore (quiet, hipsters. I realize my analogy sucks). They watch youtube.

Why are you so resistant to just doing what it takes to communicate in a way that is understood in this internet age?
Absolutely. It's not really convenient, but it's possible. One thing I'd look at is if you can connect a USB keyboard, as that would make a much nicer experience.
Ehh... Sure. It CAN be learned, but just because you can doesn't mean you should. Everything about the process will be... Just difficult. Tedious.

Don't do it.

You'd be wrong. You may have noticed I qualified my statements with "if the claims are true".

That the actions described in the claims are criminal is not in doubt. Whether those actions actually took place is unproven, as is whether this unnamed ex-administrator performed those actions.

So, I'm not ready to say that this person is a criminal, or that a crime was committed, but I am ready to say that the actions described in the claim are criminal and wrong.
Probably, yes; the first programmers did not even have keyboards or screens, but rather swapped out the relays manually and checked their voltmeters. But what is the point? You will not be able to complete the exercises as quickly and it will be a pain to download and configure all the software.

You can get a cheap Chromebook for $200, stick Ubuntu on it (https://www.lifewire.com/install-linux-on-chromebook-4125253), and finish both those EdX courses, probably before you can even get R and Python running on your phone. Plus you will be more motivated to finish the courses, having spent $200 and therefore proven your commitment.

If even $200 is too much, I guess you have to ask what you're doing with your life... maybe getting a stable job should take priority.
What's wrong with the trend?
That was the exact thought I had when the White Walkers made their first appearance in the book!
I'm not sure of the exact definition of a runtime... The best I can say is that the instructions emitted by the compiler correspond directly to the commands in the source file.

You are certainly correct about the Lispyness. I've not yet had the opportunity to use a macro assembler, so I cannot say how similar L2 is to it. To aid your comparison, I think L2 is also quite similar to B language.

You can learn how to program from books. Phone should be no problem either.

But it is going to be much, much harder to learn how to program anything with any decent level of complexity. Writing everything in a single file? Sure. Writing a java app which has 20 classes? Sounds like hell.

And while linux terminal isn't really programming, sending key combos like ^d sounds terrible on a phone keyboard.

Something else that PCs are much better at is context switching. Being able to alt+tab to documentation, or having that documentation on another monitor would be way better than having to switch back and forth. Although that can be remedied somewhat by using a book as a reference.

Something as simple as typing a constant in Java becomes much more difficult on a phone

private static final SOME_RANDOM_VARIABLE = RandomVariableFactory.getRandomVariable();

is not easy to write on most phone keyboards.

I think the biggest area that you'll struggle is that there isn't really any good IDE, or even editor out there.

I watch videos all the time on my phone which help me with programming. Those are easy. It's the actual doing and writing the code that will be a PITA on a phone.

May I ask why you're trying to program on a smartphone rather than picking up something like a cheap netbook?

You can probably read all the content of the courses on your phone and even run a basic Python/R interpreter on it, but no. Phone keyboards suck for programming and there are a ton of programs you can't run on a phone (like RStudio or Python IDEs).

Just get a cheap desktop and keyboard on Craigslist. I've found ones for as little as 20USD. Or you might be able to use a Raspberry Pi, if you're into that.
Here in 3rd world with flaky 2/3G and just 100-300mb data, AMP is welcome. We still use 1G ram phones!
I remember when it was $25 to 50k and thinking that was a "steal"...but $2.7 million is ridiculous, though the money does go to a great cause :-).
Not practically.

If you hooked up a keyboard, used emacs or vim as an editor, you would likely be able to program enough to pass a intro to programming course (with significantly more difficulty than anyone on a computer). In theory you could do a fair bit of development work on your phone, but in practice it would be far too much friction to develop any real (i.e. more complex than intro to programming assignments) software.
I was going to ask "does this need a marketplace?" and link to a list someone was maintaining a few month ago of folks who offered to match donations made to the ACLU, but it looks as though someone turned that into a little web app, anyway: http://matchingdonations.us/. That said, the harder part of this is probably getting people to make that offer to begin with. If this becomes a common thing, I'm sure someone will build a platform around it. If someone told me they'd donate to a charity of my choice in exchange for having dinner or coffee, I'd probably jump at the chance and match their donation, as well.

Second-rate right wing agitator Paul Nuttall wasnt part of government and was at best a peripheral figure in UK politics, before his resignation.

TI can't run R or Python, at least the last time I checked... Maybe someone really clever has ported it.
There isn't certainly pauses between words in Japanese. (Actually, I'm not aware of any language that has.)

The Japanese disambiguate word boundaries in spoken language using the pitch accent as the primary clue. Tokyo Japanese has a phenomenon called initial rise, which differentiates the pitch between the two first moras of an accent phrase – either the pitch rises or steeply falls.

Here's an example - upper case: high pitch, lower case: low pitch.

I agree with you. However, since Obama kids literally had the best instructors money can buy, I am not sure how their mom can blame the teachers. The kids probably just didn't have an aptitude for STEM.

Did you mean GNURootDebian? Don't know about R but I have learned a lot of C using the Termux app, I know python is supported. With Termux you are limited to a terminal, but personally I have never been able to see emulated Linux desktop on a phone correctly... Of course if your course includes gui programming you need full desktop. I would recommend getting an external keyboard for programming, or at least the hackers keyboard app.
A woman's voice is not used due to it being a "servent". A woman's voice is used, because testing has shown both men and women respond positively to women's voices, while the same is not true of men's voices.

Of course, along with a women's voice, it makes sense to go along with a woman's name.
you can port out your number to google voice....
I've written small snippets of code from my phone before, but it's usually either testing specific language syntax, or making minor tweaks to existing code in situations where I'm either learning a new language, or dealing with weird edge cases.

For full-blown development, it's not really suitable. Your phone is best used for reading technical material and watching video content.

Even if you can program on mobile, it's going to be painful. Perhaps less so with an external keyboard and SSH into a cheapo VPS instance, but you're still going to take a substantial productivity hit.

May I ask why you're going this route?
