YES. But to qualify, it will if Opal (Ruby -> JS Transpiler) and Truffle are seen for the true and remarkable value that they really are. We are not going to need Crystal (not to say it's irrelevant, compilation is great and has a place, but not to replace Ruby) and such projects and will enjoy a blissful isomorphic platform once folks can really see the value. DHH sadly is too married to other pure JS projects that make him unable to be objective and to lend his allegiance to Opal (he could have been years ago, but it’s political for him now sadly as is evidenced by many various remarks and attitudes), so we have to probably forge this path ourselves so that the “political” figures can finally see the real value.

Truffle will be big by itself simply for it’s remarkable speed improvements. OpenSSL is about done and next is Nokogiri a la Sulong, so we’re about to be cooking with gas here.

Yet again, going back to Opal, that’s where real magic will happen. For example, a Vue.rb project would be great where we could use Vue with Ruby on Rails and be Ruby completely up and down the stack via a simple Opal wrapper (https://github.com/fazibear/awesome-opal#js-wrappers-binding...).
How would it open up the platform for abuse (serious quetion, not snark)? The CA we use to get wildcard certs for our customers uses a challenge process very similar to LE's http-01.
Artists have depended on public support for generations (if not longer) and that support does not artificially prop up its value. In some cases artists and their work can languish for decades until publicly supported exhibitions choose to highlight them. Only then does "the market" value their work, and only sometimes does it do it properly.

And that's not to mention the value art plays in civic life and its contribution to society: markets can frequently fail to properly support artists when society needs them the most (during political strife or civil unrest.)
Assuming rough parity in terms of simplicity and cost, no. Unlike, the limited range of B&W photography vs. color, there is no intrinsic value in having a compromised sense of space and severely limited range of motion when using immersive media.
Have heard good things about Kubespray: https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kubespray
"From the wikipedia link:"

Which one? There were four.

(That was rhetorical, by the way, my point being that ignoring three presented sources to nitpick one does not a solid argument make)

"This is not at all the same as creating a policy and not explain to the citizen you represent why you are doing it."

Sure, but that wasn't what I took to be your question/request, nor does it really make any difference here when evaluating whether or not the United States has a century-long tradition of wanting to keep military/security information confidential.

The "logic" here is that the mere act of telling the general public why said policy was created would reveal sensitive information about ongoing security activities (information which - allegedly - is indeed of use to the enemy). I disagree with that logic and its application in this case, but that is the logic, and said logic is - as demonstrated previously - precedented in American military history.
I'm hoping that analog computing will come back in the form of photonic analog computing. This would be more powerful than quantum digital computing (you know the things that people are wasting time on).

Fun fact, with analog computing, one could imagine achieving Real Computation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_computation) which is above and beyond Turing. completeness.

Note the fun sentence "If real computation were physically realizable, one could use it to solve NP-complete problems, and even #P-complete problems, in polynomial time. ".

We are on a wrong evolutionary branch of computing. Bits are lame-o-rama, whereas differentiable signals are pure unadulterated flavortown.
You can encrypt any subdomain at which you can serve an answer to Let's Encrypt's ACME Challenge [1][2].

That being said, I know they have a blacklist of certain domains. I've seen it once with amazonaws.com [3], and it's possible they have similar entries for azure.com, heroku, etc. They don't publicly release their blacklist.

You want to at least have some control over the hardware. Disk encryption on a dedicated server or (even more ideally) a caged, locked, colocated rack.

The system administrators of anything multi-tenant can access your data. The problem is they probably don't care. It's up to you where to draw that line, though.

"Administering a mail host is sort of like being a nurse; there's a brief period at the start when the thought of seeing people's privates might be vaguely titillating in a theoretical sense, but that sort of thing doesn't last long when it's up against the daily reality of mess. Now that I think about it, administering a mail host is exactly like being a nurse, only people die slightly less often."
My favorite example for the above:

"Great news, bro - we offer unlimited vacation! But actually you aren't expected to take more than 10 days of vacation per year."

How long have subreddits been accessible through a subdomain? Is this something the subreddit mods have to turn on?
IIRC, most if not all uses of 'mb' or 'gb' were about disk space or RAM, so not really a network context - this is about bloat, ports are just the whipping boy.

And I'm not against pedantry in the right context, but this is just a casual, relatively nontechnical rant. Pedantry is really not needed.
I faced the same issue. Though disabling secure boot just to get the vbox driver running isn't the best idea. There are quite many detailed tutorials that list how you can sign the vbox modules and it won't take that much time, I promise. If the kernel devs are providing us with a security mechanism, might as well use it. :)
The problem with fitness trackers and smartwatches is that each and every brand keeps adding unnecessary features to the stack. They won't listen to users and keep building devices that have no market. Most of those companies created a product that was good and needed a good amount of work to make it better. But it seems that developers and management felt that simple = bad, and worked their asses off to add useless features.

Probably the closest to what people wanted was Mi Band - a bit too simplistic, but close enough. And this opinion is shared by many of people I know.

In order to create a successful fitness tracker, create a device with:

-distance tracker

-steps tracker

-waterproof (good enough to swim in swimming pool)

-mobile phone notifications, alarms

-no screen needed or extremely simplistic screen is OK

-battery live of at least 7days

-heart rate monitor (do not need to be constant)

-good software, small size

-make it look simple - let users decide on adding bits to it

-sleep tracker that works and learns

-use phone and app for making most of the calculation to save battery

-the price of $49

This tool would kill the market. As of now, Mi Band is closest, but their software/app is bad and there are some issues with hardware and customisation.

Kubernetes is here to stay. Google could vanish tomorrow and most of the longterm impact on Kubernetes would be programmers adjusting to Bing's interface when are searching for particular information. Red Hat would pick up the ball and carry it themselves, if they had to, because OpenShift is as existential to them as GCP may become to Google.

The article glosses quickly past the fact that Collison is talking his own book here, because Apcera has struggled to build a large-scale business on closed source.

Meanwhile the project he helped to launch, Cloud Foundry, is the basis of ... uh ... shall we say I am aware of many dollars going to my employers and our major competitors. We also work very closely with Google on stuff that isn't Kubernetes and stuff that is based on Kubernetes. They like both equally. Why? It brings in customers.

Opensource has won the CaaS space. That phase is over. No F500 is prepared to buy something with no escape hatch from vendor lockin. Neither is any F5,000,000.

All that's left is to answer: which opensource?

Every non-service page has a feedback form, services need to provide feedback mechanisms[1] and the blogs have a commenting system.

Basically, none of these publish immediately. Feedback goes into Zendesk typically, and everything on the blogs are premoderated. Spam happens but because it doesn’t immediately show up on a gov.uk property it’s minimal enough to deal with manually. Basically, better that than denying a section of the population the right to comment.

I'm the original author.

I wrote that a while back. My opinion hasn't changed too much, though I have to say that article could stand a rewrite. Don't really have time right now.

The real crux of the article is less about privileged ports and Unix permissions than about path dependence and how it leads to complexity explosions in systems. Instead of building a fix for X, maybe we should first question whether X really has to be that way and if there exists some simpler path to achieving our goals that involve some amount of change but far less complexity.

Sometimes you can't do that, but sometimes you can. I think privileged ports are a case where we could have easily eliminated a lot of complexity and headaches by just eliminating an obsolete feature.
In other words, hardware is not for children attempting get-rich-quick exit-plans.
Then don't use the word lmao
The way your stream works I can't imagine you would lose that much, since the buys are in such small lots. There'd have to be a way for the users to make you go all in on a volatile stock to see those kinds of losses (or access to a sharper knife like options).

Anyway, it's an interesting experiment. Very popular over at /r/wallstreetbets.
honest question: why then did no one copy the iPod, and no one has copied the iPhone with any success?

as soon as the iPod came out way back in the day, the criticism was that it would soon be copied. No one ever did, and I worked in the music business at the time and was familiar with everything on the market. nothing ever came close, apple made a ton of money.

it's a common thing to say that it's not defensible/can be copied, but I don't see that happening always.
The security issue is that by default it is easy to accidentally make it so that any user can see and edit every other user's data.

The one Meteor project I worked on at scale we specifically wrote integration tests to try to read and write other user's data just to make sure we didn't have a hole open up. Because we did have a whole open up and we learned from our mistake.

Part of the problem of Meteor is that it is "magic" in a lot of ways. Because so many things are so easy, when something doesn't work the way you want (like there is a performance issue) it is often difficult to figure out.
I agree with the case for using a wildcard, but just to play devil's advocate - why can't they take the CloudFlare approach?

Generate a cert for 100 of your client's domains, use that cert across those domains. Cut your 50m domains down to 500,000 certificates. Serving the right certificate for the right domain is a simple enough task.

As new tumblr domains are registered, generate more certs in batches of 100 domains.

I doubt anyone would ever seriously suggest putting millions of SANs on a single certificate, but 100 isn't too farfetched.
Flagged for being repugnant, victim-blaming bullshit.

Yeoh says:

> "Then I went into my own bedroom but Dave followed me there, and that’s when he first propositioned to sleep with me. I said no. I reminded Dave that he knew my then-boyfriend and that we’d just talked about him earlier that night.

> "At this point, I led him to the door and told him he needs to leave. On the way out, he pushed himself onto me to the point where I was backed into a corner, made contact to kiss me, and said something along the lines of 'Just one night, please just this one time.'"

It does not matter what happened before this. It wouldn't matter if she promised Dave sex in exchange for business help. It wouldn't matter if they were married.

She said no, she told him to leave, and then he physically assaulted her.

"No" and "leave" are not confusing. Her reminder that she was in a monogamous relationship was not confusing. Dave was not confused. He was desperate and willing to use his superior physical strength to intimidate and corner her.
> …it's been great for checking out new podcasts.

For anyone confused by this: SoundCloud can't play podcasts, but a small percentage of podcasters host their show on SoundCloud, and the app can (naturally) play those.

However, SoundCloud has probably seen the peak of its podcast-driven business. Podcasters have been wary of SoundCloud's fortunes for some time, and most have a Plan B in place. Today's news has likely expedited plans to find alternatives among at least some podcasters.
> Heh. Ok. But is this the same thing really? I mean, how many forms of input are there? We've tried the obvious ones and the keyboard just sticks with us.

I guess it's not the same thing in that it's at least obvious what one could do instead of a 640 KB limit (just install more memory), but I still think there might be some life to the analogy. I agree with you that there's no obvious substitute for the keyboard, but that to me says only that it is a local maximum—with a potential further global maximum to be discovered, probably not by obvious changes, and necessarily not by perturbations to what we have already—which might (or, I'll certainly grant, might not) be bettered.
The pricing of $49 is the kicker. No one can make the device you're describing for that. Garmin devices (like the Forerunner 935) tick off your feature requirements but are relatively expensive.
Probably not faster. Definitely better quality. As Alvy Ray Smith said, a pixel is not a little square, http://alvyray.com/Memos/CG/Microsoft/6_pixel.pdf

Edit: If you want to do even better than the tensor product Lanczos filtering, you can do a filter based on Euclidean distance. Make sure that you work in linear (non-gamma-adjusted) color space.

A couple more resources to read: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/filter/#cylindrical http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/filter/nicolas/

Edit 2: really weird that this is getting downvoted. There’s not really anything to dispute here. It is straight-forward to show that the Lanczos method has objectively better output. Moreover, Alvy Ray Smith’s paper is a classic which anyone interested in image processing should read.
It's happening to us too. Firebase status page was updated, but it looks like GCS in general was not.
It's been this way since I started using the site in 2009.
I would argue that Ring is the primary consumer success that the VCs are looking at right now. Everything else is not looking good.

Simplisafe raised the $57m in 2014 and seems to have been able to make a sustainable business without VC money.
Form Labs is seemingly (with the rest of 3D printing) moving away from consumer to B2B focus.

I find Sphero/Anki raises surprising and wouldn't be surprised if they had Chinese Funds leading the rounds.
Can I ask for a virtualmin feature here wrt SSL certs (and maybe specifically LE)?

I know it's not the first request, but an easy way from the GUI to force all requests to be SSL would be great. The only way I see in GUI is a "redirect everything", but... that also redirects requests for ".well-known" which means renewal requests don't work (have been hit by this a few times). Some recommended ways of handling "always use SSL" with LE renewals would help.

Thanks for VM work!
That's a stereotype.
Ask HN: Room for an open source template generator?
I like to build things & love golang. I like to create clean, easy-to-maintain HTML templates. In my ideal world I'd build some kind of (open source) site that helps users generate beautiful pages and maybe WordPress templates, and make a living that way. Is there a way to monetize this skill set?
Nice writeup. I think it spells out the difference pretty well - less aliasing and artifacts for Lanczos. But you gotta admit it's fast. For large shrink factors you'd be just as well off averaging whole pixels, even if the rectangles being averaged aren't all the same size.
What you're describing is generally accepted to be physically unrealizable. In fact, the sentence that follows your quoted sentence cites two commonly known physical limitations that prevent the existence of your "computational class above and beyond Turing".

Whether or not there exist physically realizable computations that are not computable by a turing machine is an open question, but most physicists and computational complexity theorists seem to believe there does not exist such a class.

Note that if Shenzen companies started publishing proposals on Kickstarter, they could make a success: Compared to SV products which get delivered in a year or two, they could churn prototypes in a few weeks, build confidence with investors and repeat. I hear people screaming "but they're not reliable/trustworthy!", but you can build trustworthiness by delivering bigger and bigger products, and, actually, Kickstarter would benefit from working in an environment which doesn't entirely rely on the producer's good will.
That’s a shortcut if you only ever have to downsample by powers of two and you don’t mind worse image quality, since your down-sampled picture won’t use any data from across block boundaries.
We have a gen 1 technology that you strap on your face and you literally feel like you're somewhere else. You look down and see your hands; glance across the table and see, and talk to, and interact with, another person that's really across the globe; you can build a world and inhabit it.

And we're discussing when to call it a failure. On a site called Hacker News. OK. But that's kind of my point - people can be so focused on "calling failure" that they miss the incredibly transformative development that's right in front of them.

Regarding a "timeline for calling failure" - who knows? Sometimes success comes to the sole believer who labors on long after everyone else abandoned hope. But how often in tech is something truly a failure? Was AI a failure in the 60's? It brought us LISP and defined the space. The 80's? It brought important foundational work to CNNs. The 90's? Would we be here without Deep Blue? Was mobile a failure with WAP? Palm? Newton? Was Internet 1.0 a failure when the bubble burst in 2000?

All were important steps that got us to our ubiquitously interconnected, AI-enabled, device-driven present.

So why the focus on identifying something as a failure, or tagging the moment that "they're not catching on"? How are you defining success? Adoption? If so, based on what metric - and at what ramp - and based on whose expectations? Investment success? For whom?

Even if this generation of VR fails to gain traction, I truly believe it will be viewed as just one more step towards the inevitable. It's that good.

But my point is that such failure will be due more to social issues than technical ones.
Sort of, the 5 year running average is well below the norm, which is an important metric as Dam's can't hold enough water to really average over ~50 years.

Further, because the lows are bound by 0, the annual average is rather deceptive.

Not saying I disagree but... out of curiosity, what do you think we should charge for an API + native iOS app + app landing page / website + QA? I know you don't know the details of the specification but ballpark.
Because the magic in the iphone and ipod come primarily from software (and for the ipod, the music licensing relationships that apple alone had in the beginning.) Android hardware can be pretty good; the app ecosystem, the ecosystem in general, the clear love that Apple has for the iphone, and the control that is (generally) used in user-beneficial ways all make the iphone superior to android.
Read unlimited as arbitrary precision.

I'm familiar with the Turing thesis but he's wrong.
Despite what the writeup says, you don't need to view pixels as little squares to make sense of this algorithm. It's a filter just like any other. You can evaluate its quality by examining its frequency response.
So... I'll chime in if you guys want to talk to me.

First, I left unroll.me in 2012 so blame whatever ethics you want but I had nothing to do with that.

Second, this post is about female responsibility in the ecosystem. Clearly you guys, except one of you, didn't read the whole post.

I posted it on Medium. I know no journalists. The editor in chief of BI reached out to me and said it was one of the best pieces she has seen on this topic, can they run it.

So ask away. I'm all ears
is that because they don't like outsiders or because they don't like Trump?

Thanks for working on OBS, it's awesome :)
You can use it in a multi-step process. Use JPEG blocks to get slightly above the target size, then Lanczos to finish it off.
Thank you for your suggestion tsuyoshi.
Okay, sure. Go ahead and make a white paper about your analysis of the frequency response of this method for some particular scale of resizing (it ends up somewhere between a box filter and a bilinear filter), and you’ll see that it ends up doing a significantly worse job than the Lanczos filter. You’ll get less detail resolved and more aliasing artifacts.
Not in the DC area.
Would you not be exposing those subdomains via DNS anyway?
in the case of the iPod I'm not sure that was true. remember, these were the days of everyone having a bunch of mp3s on their hard drive. The actual iPod software was extremely rudimentary, and basically barely integrated with iTunes. this was still in the days of windows, keep in mind, and before apple actually launched iTunes for windows. and still, it was immediately a dominant player and not one company was able to launch a competitor _before_ apple built iTunes for windows.
That wouldn't work.

The only reason he is getting away with doing this for stocks is that Robin hood doesn't charge any per trade transaction costs.

Speaking of reneging, remember the time they told their users that they would be lowering their storage to 5GB? Now, I'm not sure of the exact reason why they needed to do this, but you quickly lose confidence in their capability as a cloud provider when they need to start clawing back storage from users.

Meanwhile Google has been offering their users 15GB and additional storage bonuses for completing tasks such as your annual security checkup.
