Part of the issue is not redundancy, but heterogeny. It is like monoculture crops - doesn't matter if you're growing 4x what you need if something comes along that kills all of them.

Software is cheap, as you say. Data isn't. The piece's author indicated that the influenza-of-the-month was launched via tax software, which generally isn't interoperable. If there is no reasonable replacement, what do you do?

Heterogeneous systems are more expensive to operate, require more expertise, and cause more compatibility problems than monocultures. But they also don't all die at once due to the same bug.

DMD (Diamond Coin) was an organised pump and dump and its information and timings were circulated within some niche telegram groups. Some example of previous similar attempts are BRX,EBST,TRIG & SNRG tokens (on Bittrex exchange).
I'm curious...

Which is more secure?

A) Slack.

B) Open source software on a LAN accessible only through physical entry, SSH, and/or a VPN.
How about a bug report screen shot? Lots of non-security conscious users don't understand why this could be bad. It's your (making the assumption that "you" in this case is a Slack Administrator) job to protect them from themselves.

In less than 6 months of cooking you would get entire pantry of all kinds of dry and canned ingredients needed by buying them in a reasonably sized containers as needed or as the opportunity presents itself

> I don't throw away near as much food. We used to throw away around 50% of food purchases due to changing schedules / spoilage. We actually saved money moving to Blue Apron.

That just means you are overbuying/overcooking. After 6 months of cooking a cost of a "complex" BA like meal without BA should be $2-3 per person even in the most expensive markets in the US.

Blue Apron's cost can never match a cost of buying protein/pantry/vegetable items on sale as neither BA has the infrastructure and volume to match grocery chains nor does it have other ways of squeezing the margins.

Now, you may decide that you do not want to have a pantry or use Google or know that $0.49-0.59 is a good price for chicken thighs and $0.99 is a good price for whole chicken in NYC or that you should not buy turmeric at Chelsea market because it is 4x the price at any other grocery store and that's why you would use BA. The problem is that there are just not enough people like you to make BA profitable, especially now with Amazon buying Whole Foods.
I'm under the impression that this refers to the primary point of the comment. But fair enough. I have removed the part of the comment where I indicated I flagged this submission for editorializing in the title.
Our internal benchmarks (which we are publishing soon), show a sustainable insert performance of 100K+ rows/second (where each row contains 10 metrics -- some would call this 1M metrics/second), even at 10 Billion rows. All on a single commodity instance (with only 16GB RAM). (We will publish these soon, along with scripts to reproduce them.)

It appears I can now confirm that the Sea Captain's name is only mentioned by a character (Lionel Hutz) in one line in Season 4. It does also appear to have been used in a caption in season 11, though not mentioned by a character. His first name is given as Horatio according to the Simpsons wikia but that doesn't seem to appear in the show as far as I can tell.
I'm 52, not 25. That class involved an internship at a homeless center. I did additional volunteer work there after my internship ended. I have been homeless for 5.5 years and I run at least two pertinent websites.

I took that class because I was pursuing a BS in Environmental Resource Management with a concentration in Housing. It was intended as preparation for a Masters in Urban Planning. I was studying in earnest to make a career of solving housing issues. I also have an Certificate in GIS, the equivalent of master's level work.

The thing is, if you actually set yourself out to create an application in Lisp, and you do learn the language and the tools made for programming in that language, not only you will have no problem with parentheses...

... but you also will find that most of your code is highly readable!

Lisp code (or at least Common Lisp code) can be highly readable. I never need to count parenthesis to understand code. The indentation itself makes the structure obvious. And if there is any doubt, the editor (say, Emacs) will tell me where each expression ends.

> "But it seems pretty straightforward to me why people think it's visually confusing and why lisp gets made fun of."

"Appearances" are not the same as "reality".
Your headline here is wrong. It's not based on where you are born. It's based on whether you're a US citizen.

tl;dr The United States Department of Homeland Security sponsored a Kaggle competition, and the prizes cannot be given to non-US citizens. This is due to US laws preventing security organizations from paying foreign contractors.

Nothing particularly new or surprising here, and it makes sense that a government security organization wouldn't employ foreign citizens.
You could have said "This is tautological reasoning. The written word isn't even consistent with itself."

Yes, that's the implication. And it appears I'm hardly an outlier.
It seems to be facebook acknowledging that close-ties networks are of significantly more long term transactional value than the loose-ties network who's value is almost entirely advertorial.
$100 bills also have very little inherent value or worth. They are only useful because people are willing to trade them for goods and services, there is a regulated source of them, and it is clearly defined how to transact with them.

Cryptocurrencies have the latter 2 features sewn-up but there aren't a lot of hard-goods out there that are predominantly priced in crytocurrencies. . . until that happens their valuations will remain volatile.

One thing that never bothered me much was those intuitive insights or logical leaps thay seemingly come out of nowhere. That is until I read a comment about speculation that ancient cultures viewed it as coming from an external (mystical) source and then I realized just how little conscious thought goes into many of those thoughts. It's kind of unsettling that there's so much going on that's "separate" from our conscious minds. If those thoughts were even a little screwy or misaligned it would be a nightmare.
That's a rather self-serving criteria, isn't it? Oh, you failed to get a job? Must be because you weren't reasonably intelligent enough!
It's not a clickbait title. It's literally the main thrust of the article. “We can’t seem to get anyone’s attention to what’s going on,” says Carolyn Miles, the president and chief executive of Save the Children.
IIRC that vowel is /e/, which is neither really /ɛ/ ('eh') nor the diphthong /eɪ/ ('ey'). And that quite neatly illustrates the problem with shoehorning other languages into English phonology and spelling.

Yes I think as a child I was more instinctive, the wall between my subconscious and conscious was more permeable. Now everything has to be handed to the go-between that is my monologue and into the conscious.

This is why I love playing soccer. You just allow your brain to express its ideas physically, there is no time for intermediation.
Read about the tech and troll forums to decide. It's possible (true) that people can genuinely invest time and money in BS technologies. See: Golem, Tangle. That said, some certainly is pump-and-dump.

I love the idea of writing web apps in Python. I don't love the idea of obfuscating the async nature of the web.

When I was learning JS (coming from Python) I hated async programming, but it was mainly due to the syntax of callback hell. I couldn't tell what would run after what because it was no longer in order in my source code.

As other have noted async/await syntax fixes that problem. Since 3.5 that's available in standard Python (and the concepts have been in use in packages like Tornado for ages).

So ultimately I think we will see an explosion of languages that run in browsers, I don't think hiding core concepts is helpful to that endeavor.
> hundreds of thousands of children will starve to death

In this case, I wouldn't call it bait because the information doesn't seem less important than the title makes it out to be.

I'd also agree that "no one is paying attention" because I'm a news addict and haven't seen a single headline about this in the last few years.
The answer is to leave the mainstream linux ecosystem, sadly. Slackware has been good to me. Openbsd is nice. Rolling your own userland is as possible as it's ever been. Maybe it's time to leave.
Clearly they can. Google especially likes throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. Whether or not their brand can afford the failures, is another question, but from a financial standpoint, they're much better equipped to weather a failure than Mozilla is.

> and what about if your network is compromised? For most small-medium businesses, that's more likely than Slack being compromised.

If your network and/or workstations are compromised, it is _over anyway_ because they have all your data. This is one of those situations where you are saying "What if they decapitated me? Slack might still be secure."

I mean, technically, you are correct but it isn't relevant because you are dead.

If you think such a business can survive a pentest from an employee workstation...XD
> It took almost 6 months of badgering for that to finally happen though, despite an extensive and widely signed (by experts) op-ed pointing out how wrong and dangerous it was barely a week after the original article was published, and calls for corrections/retractions started within days if not hours.

Completely agreed, but they do fully concede this in their retraction:

>This made a relatively small, expert, vocal and persistent audience very angry. Guardian editors did not react to an open letter co-signed by 72 experts in a way commensurate with the combined stature of the critics and the huge number of people potentially affected by the story.

It might have taken a while for their internal review to complete but, honestly, what more can we ask for but an honest admission like this? If more media outlets could meet this standard we'd be in a much better place.

I've been studying the Bible as if it was a programming book. Kinda like code for how to live~think. I've found it perfectly consistent when taken all in together. You have to understand the different dispensations being referenced therein.

It's really been amazing to actually put it into practice. Take being humble for example. Why would I do that?! Well, it is a concept the Bible mandates. So, I've taken to doing that. I now fully realize how truly stupid I am where previously I felt so smart. I can learn from others much better now.
Seems like a personal problem for the media. Is the point of this article just to say what a shitty job they do on informing their readers about things that actually matter.
There was a book written by a US college CS professor that I saw a while ago online. I think it was free to read online, maybe other versions were paid. Unfortunately don't remember the professor or book name now. It covered OGL and HTML Canvas. I remember thinking it looked good. Maybe someone else here can say what the book name is.

Edit: Maybe covered WebGL too.
There's a "rising tide lifts all boats" effect going on, and so there's more buying and less selling across the board. A lot of new money in crypto that doesn't have a handle on what makes a coin potentially valuable and so money is being thrown at everything. ICOs are big now because of the same exuberance that is driving up the prices of everything else.

> quasi-unique BEM style classes on everything you might conceivably want to style will bulk out the html more than strictly necessary too

Slightly off-topic here, but it's my sincere hope is that (of all things) CSS Grid Layout will drastically alleviate HTML bulk. I've been astounded by how much using it has simplified my markup and reduced complexity in my CSS (since you can accomplish complex layouts without intermediary containers).
"Furthermore fresh ingredients get delivered to you in the right portions. When I've done this in the past I end up with way more ingredients than I need that end up getting thrown out."

Unless you're throwing out ~60% of the ingredients you buy, surely grocery shopping (Or, if you don't want to shop, grocery delivery services) are more economical. It's also probably better for the environment, given the amount of packaging that goes into Blue Apron meals.
Apparently it is difficult, but in reality, as you progress in learning Lisp, it becomes second-nature and really easy.

I have never found or read about any lisper (any programmer who wrote useful, complete code in Lisp) complaining about parenthesis or syntax. They all either love it or at least don't complain about it.

Do it everyday when you lie down to sleep. I don't set a timer and usually do it until at least my mind is calm (results in better sleep). I listen to my heartbeat in my veins in my forehead instead of breathe, which sounds harder than it is. Also at the beginning of the session it can be difficult to 'relax', so don't even try just wholly focus on listening to the heartbeat even if you need to tense, scrunch up face etc. Then as you get more into it you will relax naturally and fully.

Hard part after that is drifting off into memories, which takes experience to lessen that. Effectively you get better at observation, which leaves the unconscious free to do as it likes and it can get up to all kinds of weird stuff. I've observed it playing a racing game and controlling the car and overtaking other cars. Or sometimes it'll jump me into a lucid dream state, (where you know you are dreaming). You are never quite sure what it'll do.
That's my understanding. I'm not even sure what exactly does make a coin potentially valuable.
When you're up against a hostile organized adversary, especially a superpower nation-state's government and intelligence agencies, it's very very hard to just rely on better training and education and secure development practices.

Everyone still needs to be doing these things, but the fight here is very asymmetric. If NSA or FSB or equivalent decides they want to disrupt or damage your company in a cyberattack, it's going to happen.
A VPN is non-trivial to set up correctly. Have you set up an internal DNS to prevent leaking the domains from requests? How about IPv6 leaks? There are many things to consider, and I wouldn't trust a random programmer to do it correctly.

Are there CAD models available for the various Lego components? I'm wondering if, given such models, you could use rendering software to generate labeled training images. That could allow you to get a large training set with many images for each kind of component in many different orientations, even for components you do not yet have.

If the CAD models are not available, how much work is it to make a CAD model given an instance of a particular component? I'd expect that for some components, such as those NxM plates, you'd only need to build one model by hand in CAD software, and then could algorithmically generate the models for other sizes.
The many choices available for C are the problem. I write C in K&R style, but that makes me a heretic in many places.

Java programmers have sensibly agreed on a single style, despite there being as many choices for Java as there are for C.

This does not qualify as clickbait.
None of what you said is true. You might be so used to it that it seems fundamental, but lisp's scoping is as arbitrary as any language.
Based on the comments here and elsewhere, there is a legitimate target market--which might be more charitably described as people who want to cook at home but don't have the time/inclination to do the other tasks required to cook.

But I actually agree that the use case for these services is pretty narrow. I know they don't really work for me. If I could get quality grocery delivery where I live I might get meal kits as part of that but as a standalone offering the tradeoffs just aren't right. Every time I think about signing up for a delivery in a couple weeks I look at the recipes and go "Eh, maybe I'll just buy the ingredients for that next time I go shopping."

Why You Should Be Shooting Your Movie in Georgia
Definitely misleading.

I loved the example off "amount off code needed in js...".

These statements make me laugh by default. Amount off code needed in these contexts is so relative.

U can write 3 functions, chain them as promise/callbacks, then make it an exportable module, and it becomes:

"var x = require('x');"

Wow 1 line off code, to reference all that code off the functions, and 1 or 2 more for the options/arguments.

There's an inherit complexity and amount of code needed due to the nature off "variation" and odd cases. Creating an app that does a 100 different things will likely need more code than when it does one thing.

That said, nothing stops you from decoupling it, and create a higher leveled file to create a virtual "hub", where u do nothing more than chain the modules and give args. Basically like Node.
> systemd-resolved could be made to crash or run programs if it received a specially crafted DNS response.

As nation states are hording zero days, and the security sheep herd insists updates are the way to go, I have never been more convinced that sticking to an OLD AND TRUSTED source code base for your infrastructure is the way to go. You can pop layers on top of that to get newer software running if you like, but trying to keep up with this psuedo-rolling-release avalanche of crap coming down the pipe is not a fair burden for administrators to handle. The devs need to shove it because we don't want it. I am hoping the next economic recession starves out the enthusiasm for disposable infrastructure and "move fast and break things" and businesses can go back to focusing on long term stability.
> transpile to JS but to WASM which is less work and more performance.

Citation needed. :)

It is not at all clear that WASM is an easier compilation target for a high level language like TypeScript, Dart, or Elm. You may be able to get better performance, but in return you have to implement and ship an entire runtime, GC, string representation, etc. Also, interaction with the DOM (the thing you need to actually get pixels on screen) is much harder.

I have a chronic illness and I am getting healthier and more productive while on the street. I have been homeless for 5.5 years. My father drank heavily for years and I have another close relative who used to snort $10k a year in cocaine up their nose back when $10k was real money.

First, we can go after the low hanging fruit of helping people who are more easily helped. More availability of actual affordable housing would help with this issue. Some people who are homeless do have income, just not enough to pay for a middle class American lifestyle.

Second there are things that work to help rehabilitate people with serious, entrenched personal issues. I raised and homeschooled my two gifted learning disabled sons, one of whom has the same medical condition I have.

I know quite a lot about this problem space and I see it as solvable. It will take time, but it can be done. Writing people off as hopeless does not help the problem at all. It just compounds it.
