Just because a spec doesn't have it doesn't mean it can't be done. At the same time, implementing something that makes you out-of-spec (like Zero Handoff with a virtual floating BSSID between multiple orchestrated AP's -- totally unsupported and not in the spec) and designing it the right way can sometimes mean that a function you thought could not be there is there anyway.

What he is probably referring to isn't frequency hopping, because what it sounds like and that it actually refers to means different things to different people. For someone who is not a RF engineer, hopping might simply mean "an AP that has multiple radios that uses one to scan the 802.11 2.4Ghz space to see what channels have the least utilization, and then restarts the other radios on a that channel, possibly forcing all clients to lose their connection as if out-of-range and reconnecting again on the new channel as they find it".

This, of course, has nothing to do with RF frequency hopping, but if you don't actually know anything about RF, you won't know what hopping means either, and just imagine that what your router with built in AP is doing must therefore be that 'hopping'.
Same in the uk - green doesn't mean go, it means go if it's clear. Pedestrians can take all week to cross if they want. Drivers will honk their horns for sure but legally the peds have right of way.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd say too.

The number of people who think they need to absorb everything before they write a single line of code is quite high. Forget all that. Write the simplest program you can, even a hello world, and get it to compile and run. Now add or change something, compile and run. Did it work as you thought it would? Then continue. If something went wrong, then Google is your friend. Search for answers, ask other programmers, make notes on the language as you go. Only after you've made a few mistakes, read a book, because you'll have some prior knowledge to give it context and make it stick.

That's what works for me anyway.
Plus whatever fee (often % based) you're going to pay if you need to convert from your cryptocurrency to another one or to your local currency, but that still may be less than other methods depending on where you live and what those methods are. Here in the US I can't even pay my landlord online without a $3 fee each time (or more if I want it to go through in less than a few days) because we bank at different banks and neither of us is willing to set up an account at the other's, so a check it is, but even that I have to pay the cost of the stamp.
How many elderly people actually have smart phones? The article said they had very few users, but blamed it on unwary users. Of the 70+ year old people that I know, most do not even have a dumb phone, let alone a smart phone.
Without elaborating on opt-in or opt-out, there is one clear fact: A user that has telemetry disabled has clearly stated that he does NOT want to "Share performance, usage, hardware and accusation data about your browser with Mozilla". https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-telemetry-data-mo...

If you do this add-on tracking despite this option is turned off, this is a clear breach of trust. If I have this option off, then I expect that exactly such a tracking of usage and customization like described above is NOT happening.
It's been more like cancer-inducing with all of the political talk these days.
What surprises me most is the fact that there seems to be very little interest in meta syncing. I have far more files to store than there is capacity on my SSD, and yet, most of the cloud storage providers seem to offer only full or selective sync capabilities.

What I would like to have is the ability to browse my entire file repository and "pin" certain files to make sure I can have the most critical stuff offline, while other files would be streamed when I need them.

I kind of hoped that SpaceMonkey (now Vivint Smart Drive) would be the answer for me and have one sitting right here. It's a a pretty cool device in theory, but in practice, it is extremely slow, backed by a company that could not care less about the product it has acquired.

Then there is Dropbox Smart Sync. This seems promising, but only is available for business users. I don't have any experiences with it.

Still looking for one single product to this right. Am I the only one frustrated with this?
I dont get what's new here or am i confused?

I have used many services over the years, OneDrive from Microsoft, Google Drive / Photo sync thing, dropbox, Amazon storage, etc.

Honestly being that I work at Microsoft I am obviously going to have a bias a bit, but this stuff is not about my work its about my life and how to stay synced across my Windows Phone, Windows 10 devices (i have a few), my iPhone, my iPad, etc. and the best way i have found to do all of that is with OneDrive.

Hold on, i know what you're thinking that im just picking my companies product, but honestly i tried them all, a lot over the years and OneDrive just does a great job, has first class apps for iOS, Android, Windows and powerful Web UI for when i just need to jump in and find something.

Also you get 5 gigs for free with OneDrive. Move up to 50GB and its $1.99/mo.

On top of that I use an Office 365 subscription for my personal life (custom domain/email) and again i get a ton more storage through that.

Really worth giving it a try!

Or the google photos uploader? Backup and sync?
But that's exactly my point - the US government has the kinds of enforcement power that deals with sending in troops to kick down doors and lock people in steel cages.

Google has the kind of power that staves off that from even happening in the first place. The US government isn't a singular entity, it is comprised of several hundred individually powerful people. Three branches, plus several military branches, each with their own branches of authority and people of power. Then you have states with their own 3 branches and national guards, police. You have a national police equivalent (NSA, CIA, FBI, ATF, Border Control).

That's a lot of people google can go to and say "Interesting that you are into midget porn, I wonder what would happen if the whole world knew that?"

That's a lot of people google can go to and say "Did you know that your neighboring state's governor is having an affair with a man? Give us this land grant for server space and we'll give you the proof."

"Give us guaranteed protection from the Fed and we'll give you the entire query history from all whitehouse IP addresses."

"Do not fuck with us or we will DDOS every single DNS server in the world with our absurdly massive server infrastructure."

"Do not fuck with us or we will turn the public against you by messaging the 63,000 people using our site per second"

"Do not fuck with us or we will make your very existence invisible to 80% of the people on the internet."
Agreed, this is a very poor showing of support from major websites.

I remember Wikipedia doing a "black out" day, along with several other websites years back. If you visited the web page, all you saw was a black page and a quick explanation that the web could be censored if legislation were to pass.

I've visited several participants' sites to see nothing. GitHub didn't have a single thing, Wikipedia: nothing, and Google (or Alphabet) isn't even listed on the list of participants [0].

I've seen longer abstracts on epsilon papers.
I am mystified as to why Google keeps ignoring Linux especially for Drive. Don't a non-trivial number of Google employees run Linux? It also rules out Drive for company wide deployment if any of the people are using Linux, since they will be excluded.

That is one thing Dropbox at least gets right.
It's interesting: In most areas of software, progress over time means moving up in the abstractions. A framework or library starts out with the low level nuts and bolts, requires a lot of boilerplate, large learning curve, harder to get to "hello world", etc. Then, over time, people add convenience layers, simplify, abstract away hardware specific bits, etc. and you end up with fewer lines needed to achieve something that works well.

In the graphics world it's been the other way around. Earlier libraries were higher level, abstracted away a lot, letting you get to "hello world" very quickly. In ancient OpenGL 1.x immediate mode, "Hello triangle" is a handful of lines of code (minus the non-portable window management stuff). As we've moved to vertex buffers, moved away from the fixed function pipeline, less and less is abstracted for you and you have to deal with more and more granular constructs, more and more quirks, and more and more boilerplate. I haven't even started coding with Vulkan, but from what I know about it, any application I'd want to move over to it is probably going to quadruple in terms of line count, complexity, and "things to deal with".
I dispute this, even though this seems like the one case where we're talking about an attack that actually lines up with what DNSSEC actually does.

The reason is, what we're talking about is a massive misconfiguration. It's not an elaborate technical spoofing attack that takes advantage of the weakness of the underlying DNS. The mistake the .IO team made is just as easy to make in DNSSEC as it is with vanilla DNS.
I remember that time I turned on dedup on our 45drive box with 32GB of ram and 140TB~ of data..
A lot of scientific computing is done in python (numpy) and even in Lua (using torch the great tensor library). Much of the computations are done in the GPU anyway.
I will not repost the entire thing here, as there's a few naughty words born of frustration, and this might well be a family forum for all I know.

My take: https://xiphmont.dreamwidth.org/84214.html
Much of it is possible, sure. I don't think most of it is feasible, or likely. Prioritization of classes of traffic is and has been a thing for a long time, and consumers broadly benefit from it (we all want VOIP traffic to have better latency sensitivity than Netflix traffic, and we all want Netflix traffic to have better bandwidth utilization than VOIP traffic, for example). (De/)Prioritization of individual products is a bogeyman that has yet to manifest outside of some products being excepted from mobile data quotas (Binge On, FB Zero, Wikipedia Zero).

Then you have things like the utterly ridiculous "your internet plan doesn't include commenting on this reddit thread!" stunts, which are either blindingly ignorant of the actual aims of net neutrality advocates, or are willfully deceitful (there is no technological way that an ISP could restrict or upsell layer 7 features given that TLS is a thing) - neither of which does very much to produce sympathy in me for the cause.

"Your single ISP could engage in behavior that doesn't benefit you" is an obvious threat - that's the threat of any monopolized market. But the vast majority of nightmare scenarios cooked up to scare the masses into action are, IMO, somewhere between fantasy and outright lies.
To be more clear, I agree the foundation is within reach of a dedicated 20 year old student.

But, there is a huge gap between being able to pass a test on X after taking a class and being ok when someone writes the same idea in yet another notation. Or worse reading something when they go step 20 -> step 21 and yes you can get from A to B with an hour of concerted effort and step 20 -> step 21 and see what they mean and could get there the long way in a few minutes of calculation.

Now personally, I only got just enough understanding of Math to read a QM book and recognize how much work it would be to get more than a vague I kind of see what your doing thing going. But, sure if you mean the starting point for monumental effort then yea a solid undergrad math background is 'enough'.
You can incrementally convert your design system. Doing it all at once could be difficult to justify to some pointy-haired bosses.
China isn't trying to clean the environment.

The Paris Climate Agreement lets China get away with polluting more since they're considered a developing country. Not only that, they get paid by the first world countries who signed the agreement in the hopes that they will be developed faster. You have to be an absolute idiot to believe that a country with such an awful track of human rights violations would sign it out of the goodness of their heart.
I absolutely agree. Being stupid and insulting is not good, both in general and for the language. Not acknowledging other languages' successes means that we have blind spots for improvements, not to mention things like you've commented all over this thread.

As others have said, I think this is more of an HN issue than anything else; you won't see this kind of discourse in Rust-centric spaces. I know that's not super helpful, but I'm not a HN moderator, so...
Am I missing something? The example React and Vue components they provide seem to be completely different components, and the React one is missing most of the code.
I haven't had any issues with Bluetooth on a Mac so far, ever since the BT 1.2 days. I've used Mac OS X, macOS and Linux on PowerPC and Intel Macs with both built-in Bluetooth hardware and USB bluetooth adapters, and all of them were fine. Doesn't seem to be an issue in either the Apple-implemented bluetooth hardware or software to me...
While it's true you can't expand a vdev, you can always add another vdev to a pool at any redundancy level you desire to expand capacity. For example, you could add a trio of drives as a raidz vdev to a pool with an existing mirror vdev (`zpool add mypool raidz dev1 dev2 dev3`). However, the drawback is that the expanded pool won't be "balanced" unless its datasets are rewritten.
If you're going to offhand dismiss someone's imaginative ability, I think the onus is on you to provide a little more insight than "you're stupid."
Yes. And they are trying to kill every other browser as well :-/

At this point I dislike chrome for exactly the same reasons I disliked IE: it is not good enough for me[0] and its sheer dominance makes web creators lazy and triggers bean counters to skimp on cross browser compatibility checks.

But this time they could actually use it for good.

[0]: yep. You would hear the same thing back then: You are the only one wanting to use another browser. Just get over it and use IE.
It's a bit of a tragedy of the commons, not sure who will be the third party to impose a cost onto cryptocurrencies that consume excess energy. So far bitcoin has maintained it's lead as the largest cryptocurrency essentially entirely due to network effect. For most major complaints against bitcoin there is an example of a crypto currency that doesn't have those 'failings'.

E.g.

Deflationary good: siacoin

Long tx times: Ethereum

Proof of work consumes needless energy: Peercoin

ASICs shift the power balance: Primecoin

Not anonymous enough: Monero

A singular append only blockchain is not enough: Byteball (it's simply a DAG of transactions)

The problem is that there is no centralized player that is currently exerting a cost, above mining costs, on the individuals to move them to a crypto currency that doesn't have whatever negative property is being rallyed around at the moment.
first two parties to finish in the last election would be just as good

I look at innovative services/apps that target the elderly as something that may not be as relevant to the current elderly generation, but in 10-20 years when more tech-savvy people have aged there will be a huge need for services like this. Elderly people in even 10 years from now will own smart phones.
My Amazon homepage is full of stuff I already own. Even worse is their internet-wide remarketing makes it so I see stuff I own on many of the sites I visit.

There was however one moment where Amazon got it right: they recommended to me a book that only a week earlier I had purchased on a whim from an independent bookstore with cash. Creepy good.
This seems like a particularly poor example just because the author is trying hard to graft vue/React onto an older style of web development. Why bother using either if you're relying on jQuery?
But clearly it's not addictive enough, someone needs to fully facebookize HN.

Well, I'd imagine Oil is a pretty huge chunk of that, which is pretty much impossible to export as a small business. I only suggest it because I used to work in Oil and the numbers I saw across my spreadsheets were truly absurd.
I'm not sure about the implications you're making about me but it seems a little unfair to judge me based on a few sentences. I was merely trying to show the breadth of industries I have experienced.

In India, you can. Having assets dispropotionate to known sources of income creates a presumption of corruption, plus one can also be charged for tax evasion.

Oh I haven't been working in it for 20 years, I've just been doing it out of interest from a young age.

It's only been the past few years I've been working in the field.

Outside of most tech fields, or people who like 'nerds' for their supposed money computers and work involving them in any technical fashion still has a stigma attached to it.

I think you're right that one has to have formed an interest, but sometimes that takes an introduction into what's possible and when you have some know how -- the amazing mutability of these very powerful machines is a lot like a car in ways.
Have always wanted to use it but couldn't. But after reading this news started using it right away and already spent a half an hour browsing the app.
...holy shit. I'm now amazed that any Bluetooth devices work at all.
The thing I'm struggling with is 4K sector support. It's horribly inefficient with ZFS. RAIDZ2 wastes a ton of space when pool is made with ashift=12. And everybody knows 512e on AF disks is horribly slow...so ZFS is either very slow or wastes 10% of total space...Or both (ZVOL :D)

According to some bug reports, nobody has touched this since 2011...
Yep, I think a lot of a confusing parts of React components is state and ES6 classes. Luckily, you don't actually have to use those, React really shines (IMO) when you write stateless components, using ordinary functions.

const MyList = props => (
<ul>
{props.list.map((item, index) => <li key={index}>{item}</li>)}
</ul>
);

...

<MyList list={[ 'item1', 'item2', 'item3' ]} />
I think the differentiating factor is React is much more (dare I say it) enterprise. It shines when you have lots of developers, large codebases, and shared code. Vue is much scrappier and the literature tends to reflect that.
Seems to be correlated linearly with hype level lol

Hmm, not sure I agree with "[W]hile Clojure does have some nice syntax for handling maps, which can be used to represent records, it's unfortunately still pretty idiomatic to store tuples in lists in Clojure code."

It's way more common to use key/value maps, precisely because Clojure has a simple, universal reader macro for representing it. Likewise, his Clojure example at the end:

(def point ['vec3d 3 4 -3])

(match [point] ['vec3d x y z] (printf "(%s,%s,%s)" x y z))

is absurd. I can't imagine anyone familiar with Clojure choosing that over a simple map or record. E.g.:

{:x 3 :y 4 :z -3}

Net neutrality just helps the status quo, and forces the "evil greedy ISPs" to take your money. Yeah let's show them by giving them money and no competition to their business... wait.

Vote for less regulation, not just getting rid of NN but getting rid of the monopolies that exist at the local level.
Of those three, the third is the best because Python uses eager evaluation. Or else the list(range(0,1000,12)) approach is fine too.
Yup. This. Now that I have 32 GB of RAM in my FreeNAS box I decided I really didn't need dedupe after all. I just don't have that much duplicated data, and I've got 60 TB of HDDs in the box. So I use the RAM for VMs instead!

Seems like good opsec:

[...] during the course of his reporting, he was struck by how technologically backward much of the Russian state’s security apparatus appeared—a nuance he said that he hasn’t often observed in American press coverage of the situation. Once, a source took Turovsky inside a cybersecurity facility run by the F.S.B., Russia’s main security service and the successor agency to the K.G.B. As he described it, “the F.S.B. officers had to give up their phones upon entering. There were no computers connected to the Internet—just one for each floor. To access it, they have to sign up in advance and get a key that was good for a certain amount of time. They were complaining that it was impossible to investigate anything in such conditions
