By the way, both buzhash and SHA-256 are kinda poor choices for a new system, especially one that targets servers.
If you're sharing with a limited option all you have to do is right click the file in your Dropbox folder and click "get public link" -- others are suggesting there's bandwidth caps so this isn't ideal for a Reddit post or something that might receive large amounts of traffic.

On the plus side of writing it in Python, no one can type "import scalaz" and start writing brittle backwards haskell-ish in your project, causing massive performance regressions they will defend to the death on grounds of leaky abstractions.
I'm not sure this is really a defense... I try and practice a certain level of privacy (not enough) but I don't really like how much google is aggregating on me. Just recently I had a problem with my car (Honda Civic) so I searched some youtube videos on it and ended up ordering a part online, now my Google News feed is showing me a whole bunch of articles for the Civic Type-R and asking me if I'm interested in Honda. That's my mistake for being lax but I'm starting to think that maybe we should reconsider our relationship with our personal data. Google relies on individuals like me to make small slips which permanently compromise our privacy.
It's because image hosting is a nothing business. It's basically one step up from serving text in the list of bread-and-butter internet functions.

Sure, there's some complexity in doing it at scale, but it doesn't actually need to be done at scale to be done easily. 50 different small image hosts is as good as one big one from the perspective of end users.

As a result, it's /really/ hard to get people to pay for it, and you cause exoduses by trying to embed advertising. The only thing you can do is grasp for features to validate your business.
Funny take on the Tech Hub mania :-D
Fair enough, wasn't aware of the bandwidth limits. Thanks!

Headline: better install options

Description: in debian installer you can chose a few standard setups. The default options are a bit crazy to me and also i miss alot of pkgs by default.

A bit of cleanup would be nice (iirc you can select database server for example, that ll give you my/maria)

It would be nice if you yould specify a code like "xxx/yyy" that would resolve to a public repo of predefined templates in which you could also define your own.

I for one, would define a server, workstation and laptop setup.
Server setup would includr sshd, screen, etc
Psychologically it strikes me as quite a similar approach to micro-transaction mobile gaming. I mean, the incentive to "save" by purchasing more really bothers me on a fundamental level. As in, my imagination is running wild with what percentage of the eventual Customer Base are, for lack of a better term, suffering from a Compulsion or Addiction to Buying Things? I'm sure an algorithm could spot it, but why bother? They're good for business, right?

Between housewares, groceries, and now clothes, is there any more clear philosophy that Amazon wants us to never leave the house and socialize with one another? I mean, it's not that far from potential reality. Between mobile phone self-isolation and never having to actually go to stores where people work to make a living, this is kind of an unnerving future. Well, for those of us who want to preserve some shreds of humanity under the shadow of the Amazonmandyias Bezos is building.
You may not want it to be but I'm that case you probably should've chosen a different word...
> credential storage is a nightmare for distribution compared to rsync/ssh.

I don't understand this argument. Why is it harder to store credentials for S3 or GCS than it is to store credentials for rsync or ssh?
Nothing anyone can do about that. Absolutely NO contract can be enforced if everyone (including the enforcers) decides not to.
And most of them were crap because of mess, noisy sites with intrusive ads.

The basic problem seems to be that the web has a trust issue, not between users and services. But between services and advertisers.

Until that trust issue is solved, so that sites can bring ad hosting under their own domain rather than embed unsupervised ads from third parties, there will be no end to this runaround.

That said, inhouse ad management do not always do a good job either. Right now i have Reddit ads killed because i got tired of having some rotting face glare at me from the sidebar just because i visit the odd gaming sub-reddit from time to time.
A large portion of PIA's endpoints are blacklisted due to their popularity and related abuse. I found it somewhat annoying to try and use.
A LOT of open source development would be a big one for me. My name is all over the internets as a result (google: Jeff Schroeder Linux -"Smashing Pumpkins").

My first OSS contribution, before I could code, was a Bluecurve icon set for Rhythmbox that was merged into an ancient version of Rhythmbox on an ancient version of Fedora Core Linux on Jun 13, 2005. Your name stays in open source things virtually forever, and if you make it easy to find your email, recruiters hound you non-stop:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/rhythmbox.git/tree/r...

Also, hiring managers, or decision makers (I could count myself as someone in this category) often do give a crap about OSS work. Give it a shot! Find a project doing something you enjoy and contribute to it. It doesn't have to just be code, documentation and graphics are also important (amongst other things).
This is one of the reasons golang has a growing share of popularity right now, a lot of people want to hit the linux compile target without a VM.

But hey, you can use VMs to hit a lot of these targets.

If I'm not mistaken, using a Mersenne Twister in a secure application is a really bad idea.
I spotted loads of malicious network traffic, and using the Sysinternals Autoruns[0] utility I was able to spot attempts at persistence. I also checked the outbound connections and they were C&C servers. I can't remember if the installer was digitally signed or not, but there was definitely malware in it. I always make sure to opt-out of any AD ware that might be bundled with an installer, but this seems to have been injected surreptitiously, and installed with very little interaction.

Just be careful with the bespoke VPN clients as they are very juicy targets for MITM attacks. I know I would be going after VPN software if I wanted to do ex-filtration for a small subset of users trying to hide their tracks from governments and ISPs.

I wonder how they dogfooded this. :-P
20mph is an interesting speed since a electric bike here in Sweden would be illegal if it reached those speeds. And as a owner of a legal electric bike I can say that regular bikes do not pass by at 20mph in the city. Even 15mph, which happens to be the legal max speed for a electric bike, would be unusual to see for a regular bike. Of course an open road would be different but pedestrian that walk against traffic there has a much bigger problem than the few cyclists that can reach 20mph unassisted.

Lethality is not the only criteria but accidents between pedestrians and cyclist is exceptional rare in relation to all the fear people feel towards cyclists. The opposite is true for cars. Ironically the fear towards cyclists seems to go down during winter (since bike lanes tend to be more free from snow and ice than the side walks) so during the time when the bike lane is the most dangerous it is also the time when most people are walking on them. There is thus a strong correlation between fear of bikes and lack of conveniences.
I like the laptop versions that have screens which can fold around 360 degrees to act like tablets. The keyboard deactivates and you get an Android-style onscreen one when you do, but I think some people don't like that because it does mean that your screen will be fingerprint-y. But personally, I also like having a touch screen, especially since a bunch of Android apps run natively now.

I have the C100 Flip right now, which I like a lot. It has a Cortex-A17 which doesn't have trouble running a bunch of tools I use like KiCAD, Arduino, etc. but I wouldn't use it for 3D modeling or other intensive tasks. The resolution is also a bit low at 1280x800.

A fair point, but they were also the two biggest, most concerted efforts to have an industrial civilisation while not being capitalist. They also heavily marketed themselves as being anti-capitalist. Their utter and abject, miserably destructive failure to do so don't endear me overly much to the 'capitalism is the root of all evil' position.

After all it is also Capitalism that is giving us the tools to fight global warming and pollution - solar and battery technology, wind, tidal, hydroelectricity, biodegradable plastics, highly efficient self-driving electric vehicles - getting rid of Capitalism isn't going to make all our problems go away with it. Capitalism is at it's core about individual ownership, freedom and responsibility. These are not bad things.

That's not always sufficient. You can end up in a situation where an American court demands records that concern European customers. In that situation, handing them over gets you penalized in an European court, and not handing them over gets you penalized in an American court. Both will have the ability to really hurt you, and "the other court tells me not to" is not a defense at either of them.
In my personal experience, clothes start smelling funky and 'off' after about 3 hours wet after a wash, and the smell persists even after drying. Only solution is to rewash the entire load.

Also, if you have a front loader, they are extremely prone to growing mildew in the bottom of the rubber gasket. Leaving wet clothes inside makes that much more likely.

Indeed, this is a solved problem. See: Not Hotdog.
Load scheduling is precisely equivalent to energy storage. You store electrical energy with the intention of consuming it later. Load scheduling just makes this explicit. In fact one of the benefits of scheduling over storage is that there's no extra losses due to charging / discharging the battery.
Changing how solar power rolls
It started as a symbiotic relationship. Reddit had no good image hosting solution and it was a real problem. Before Imgur came along, you'd often find image posts where the link was dead, dog slow, or took you to a page filled with ads and malware. Imgur made Reddit better.

If anything, Reddit was the parasite because its users used a ton of Imgur bandwidth and by direct linking, didn't give anything in return.

Once Imgur decided to actually try to become a sustainable business, they had to change how that worked by trying to ensure that people coming to the site also saw ads. Then they started building their own community and working to become a direct competitor to Reddit.

At that point, the right biological metaphor is probably too organisms with the same food source in the same ecosystem, competing for resources.

Given that, it's no surprise that they are both working to sever ties to each other.
they chose to make their own stack afew years ago instead of going with the already available and business friendly openstack, going by the same reasoning and the long amount of time they took to reach here, it highly likely to be a custom thing.

Art or whatever it is subjective to decide which code formatting is better. As long as a single "code format actor" can transform different styles automatically then why one should care. I think most communities are having an agreement on which one they would like to choose and most of the times they chose the best style but doesn't mean one has to limit themselves into those formats anyway. Something like git push --code-style somestyle would be a relaxing.
>TL;DR: Author complains because he wants to program Java-style within Python, and he can't. He doesn't mention real outstanding things that Python needs to solve like the threading/async features versus the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL).

The author is not concerned with "hard stuff". He is concerned with language (syntax, etc) criticism, which is a different thing.

And, no, he doesn't want to "program Java-style within Python" -- that's an easy way to dismiss any kind of language criticism.

I think it's a little weird to say "Introducing Object Storage" when you're not introducing anything at all. There's zero information about it!

Is it S3 compatible? Does it compete with S3? Does it supports static file hosting? How do permissions work?

I think it would make more sense to communicate that you're looking for beta testers for an object storage service.
Usually when someone ends a sentence with "would be confusing to consumers" its a give away that means a fast one is being pulled on the consumer.

The article subline, "Besides gutting net neutrality, industry wants less scrutiny of speed claims" says all that a person needs to know really.

I fail to see how big cable winning this benefits the consumer? unless you would prefer them not have to answer as to why they would sell "broadband" to consumers thats really over priced garbage at piss poor speeds?

The most offensive feature is how it tricks novice or unsuspecting users into "sharing" their just uploaded image to the "Imgur community". It's a big green button after the upload.

If you click it, not only is your image now public but you'll be ridiculed by imgurs army of sexist unemployed neckbeards that they refer to as "community".
"Reaching into a library" means depending on something not meant to be public, with the understanding that it is undocumented and subject to change without notice. Giving a reliable but soft warning (through quasi-encapsulation naming conventions and explicit module exports) and assuming developer maturity is the typical Python approach to double-edged features.

Hacking something with private library parts doesn't involve any more "introspection" and "internals" than reading the library's code and finding useful loot to steal; metaprogramming is a completely different and orthogonal way to compromise code maintainability.
I have been working for almost 15 years as an electrical, systems, and software engineer. Except for the initial flurry in the 2-3 days after I post my resume on a job board, I get maybe one hit a week. Throw out the shitty, clueless recruiters and it's more like one every month or two. Throw out Amazon, and I consider three a year to be good. That's what I get for spending almost all of it indirectly working for the government.

Of course, I am not now not will I ever be in web development.

This is a good question. 8 qubits will not solve any problems that a classical computer can't. In fact, considering just how blazing fast modern CPUs are, you can simulate an 8-qubit chip faster and with more fidelity than you can with 8 homegrown qubits.

Shor's algorithm isn't a good candidate for near-term use of a quantum computer. Other algorithms, such as the variational quantum eigensolver or the quantum approximate optimization algorithm are better. These can be used to solve chemistry and optimization problems, for example.

We actually made a little demo to show a little game you can play with 8 qubits. It may not be able to handle the load of HN if it finds its way to the masses, but check it out! [0]

Like programming itself aligning code is not an art form, at least not in where productivity and consistency is required, it's just a means to an end.
In my opinion the art is in documenting your code and explaining what your code does (what you intend it to do not how it does it).

Just because something is fanciful, or gives rise to warm fuzzy feelings of universality, spiritual "one-ness" and egalitarianism, does not make it logical or true. Morton seems to be channeling prior generations of "Gaia" believers, who also personified and deified a universal ecosystem (because it felt good to do so.)

I am not surprised that Mr. Morton has a following in the low-logic, high-bullsh*t, pseudo-intellectual world of art. Or that Björk is his champion.
