There's so much more before Paint becomes a blip on the map.
So basically, you are more happy if someone else does tasks you don't like? Makes sense I guess ...
This is precisely the reason I started using linux over windows - the "standard" tools available on almost every machine I would come across impressed me with their power and ease of use. Of course, while not all, most of these are from the gnu toolset - hence the occasional requests for gnu to be included in the default moniker.

Because I infrequently use windows, it makes the presence of notepad, paint, and calc even more important. They are the tools I reach for first to accomplish simple tasks on Windows. Happy to hear Paint is staying.
"Fear itself these days is America’s top-selling consumer product"

Furthermore, in Germany, after a couple of years even an illegal migrant who should have been deported gets "tolerated status" and de facto will remain in the country.

Im beginning to think that Microsoft's new strategy is to optimistically break all their products by adding the store front and telemetry to them. Neither of which are needed or wanted in the majority of cases.
Great job! Have you considered adding HTTPS support?
A relevant observation (not my own):

I have one of the offline models which seems to randomly crash around and it really is good enough. I wonder if mapping significantly improves anything to justify paying so much more (and apparently having to share the generated map with the manufacturer). Wouldn't it be invalidated every time you move a chair?
To some extent that's how Intel SGX works, since code in an enclave (SGX name for a TEE) only executes with user level privileges and can't e.g. execute system calls.
Excellent recommendation.

The examples are written in Java but it doesn't matter too much as most concepts covered in the book are language agnostic.

UK, which until recently, had to abide strict EU mandated consumer protection protection laws. You cannot make unsubstantial claims even in ads. Companies had been sued and fined heavily for that.
It's slower to start than Paint (on this laptop at least), and I can't see any way to import an image using a scanner using it (one of my main use cases for Paint).

And why on earth does the menu icon in Paint 3D look like a folder icon?
Really, you think security aware people use Chrome? The security aware people I engage with avoid it. The baked in data collection and telemetry are a concern for them. Some of them even remember specific problems, like that time it turned out Chrome was listening on your mic all the time, and sending the a audio back home.

The security conscious people I know use Firefox or chromium.

Of course, your point stands: no one's using safari or edge. :)
>>>The difference between an access point and HTTPS on a web server is that the access point doesn't have an identity to tie the key exchange. You can sprinkle DH here and there to incrementally improve things but it's not going to be bullet proof against active man-in-the-middle attacks.

??? Isnt the MAC address an identity for the AP ?

I always had a doubt about HTTPS . Say Im connecting through a proxy server to a website. The exchange of keys for HTTPS connection happens through this proxy server, means it can capture those and decrypt the connection whenever it wants , right ?
Thanks for your reply.
I'm not sure why not. Some of the same groups that sign this code also do formal verification of other codebases, for instance FSBLs. It seems reasonable that they would try similar approaches on TZ code given the scarcity of fuses.
How can I use those as an individual, just to read the stories? They seem like something I could use if I were to create my own news outlet.

"Only through the act of imagining..."

Be careful with the only. I've read and enjoyed plenty of books while neglecting sympathy for the characters and their experience; looking at the interplay of ideas and theories, for example.

Sometimes I think it's been due to my lack of context. For instance, I love the little Dostoyevsky I've read, but I'm always perplexed by the social world of his characters. Maybe they're high bourgeois and clashing with the strain on that order in the Russia of his day. Still, I thoroughly enjoy the other elements of his writing that come to life. I was surprised to find the most thrilling so far was the first half of Notes From Underground. It reads like sci-fi to me: all of the talk about everything being calculated and determined in advance.
In your doc, is your sample getIbors meant to be complete? Don't show that to a finance professional if it is. I don't see Libor, you have Eonia, Sonia but no Fed's fund, I am not sure what Euribor Act/365 is.

Also I am a bit confused by what your curves return. The coefficients seem to be rates. I would expect a curve (once built) to be a compibination of discount factors and some interpolation function.

Haven't looked at the details so perhaps this feedback is irrelevant. But from the look of it it looks like all your curves are self discounting curves. You need to be careful as the market moved away from these curves 6-7y ago.
For a really long time (over a year) I was trying to get my oders to be shipped to an address in California, Daly City. I had 30% success rate. I have called Amazon several times but they gave me bullshit. I figured out that the delivery guy was stealing all of the shippment and I could prove it. Amazon did not care. After a while I just stopped ordering anything because it is impossible to get delivery there. All of the shippments were arriving to a different address few miles from that one. Funniest part that the shipping company was actually owned by Amazon.

Meet Europe’s online travel unicorn that does roughly €1B in revenue
Cost is the major problem, with a couple of technical/deployment issues.

The technical/deployment issues to me are the lack of browser support (that means Edge, Firefox, Safari, etc.), the long and slow migration from USB-A to USB-C, and the missing parts of the mobile puzzle. With the latter I mean U2F support for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and NFC on (at least) smartphones.

Ideally, you could visit some secured website on your smartphone, choose to authenticate with Fido U2F, tap your U2F key to the phone, and authenticate with it using BLE or NFC. The same key can be used on a laptop or desktop computer as well using USB.

Those devices will exist (or already exist perhaps), but they will cost a lot more than the plain USB-A U2F keys available now for roughly $15.

To drive adoption, ideally banks would get on board and go for U2F. That way a lot of people would come in contact with the technology, driving adoption and prompting users to use the key for other services as well (for the bank this provides a nice branding opportunity!).

Unfortunately, banks tend to favour private solutions based on TOTP/HOTP in a lot of countries. That means that in, for example, my native country of the Netherlands you will get a small battery powered calculator-like device from your bank that generates the challenge-response verification codes needed to authorize transactions. Each bank has its own solution that only works with them, and each will send you their private branded TOTP-in-a-box device.

Add to this governments that are attempting to introduce electronic ID-cards containing NFC-chips for public authentication with government and commercial entities alike, and you can see why in a lot of countries the only candidates for U2F are global services like GitHub and Dropbox. That reduces the amount of potential U2F users to what are essentially power users.
if for nothing else, then for trump I hate all the usual news channels (and there are plenty of other reasons). in a same way i don't care what current celebrity messed up, I don't care about him. yes we get it, US voted ego-maniacal a*hole who has no clue about real politics to its lead for next 4 years. we all make mistakes. sad story, moving on, nothing to do there.

can we please start ignoring him a bit? it seems to me controversy and popularity at all costs is what he seeks, so why please such a person?

I agree with your second statement, but I have spent most of my 20s and a great portion of my 30s with crazy negative stuff on my credit report. I flatly refuse to pay outrageous collection fees, and there are at least three items on my credit report which are outright lies. For example, switching from Verizon to T-Mobile, and T-Mobile handed out gift Mastercards to pay the early termination fees for getting out of your Verizon contract. well, Verizon refused to accept my $350 gift Mastercard, so I mailed it to them certified mail. They received it. I have the receipt. But now I have a $400 item on my credit report that I refuse to pay. An administrative mistake the Army made, and now there's another $900 item on my credit report that I refuse to pay because it's a clerical error. That last one's interesting, because I have signed witness statements from a finance guy involved in making the mistake, yet they refuse to clear it, so I refuse to pay it.

Despite this, I have been able to get a car loan, I got a VA loan for a house, I have opened two credit cards (which I use responsibly) since then, and also was able to get a personal loan for an emergency six years ago. It is absolutely possible to do "normal" things. It's just been a matter of explaining the situation.

There is a good book called "7 habits of highly effective people" and it talks about "circle of concern" and "circle of influence".

It basically says be mindful of the time you spend concerning yourself with things you can't do anything about. Spend your brain cycles on things you can influence in the world.

E.g. Trump. Reading about him is a waste of your brain cycles. What productive thing are you actually doing with this information?

Losing their position in society. Becoming marginalized socially and economically. Being made economically irrelevant by automation, immigrants, or outsourcing. Seeing their beliefs and value systems being ignored, circumvented, eroded of traditional legal support (e.g. gay marriage, Roe v. Wade) and replaced by secularism.

Middle-aged white people in the US are seeing increase in mortality while other groups in the US and outside see drops [1]. This is the result of chronic long-term stressors.

Charlie Gard's parents were free to pay for experimental treatment throughout the course of his illness up until the point where legally they were stopped from doing something that was considered bad for him. Here in the UK we have a single payer public health service and privately paid services. People are free to choose which they use.

Even ignoring that fact though, the idea that hundreds of thousands of people should face financial ruin and all the negative societal effects that carries with it because extreme outliers need to be handled separately is an utterly broken way of running a healthcare system.
I would love to move to a more affordable rural area, but as an Asian guy married to a white wife, I'm a little afraid of how we (and our kids) might be treated.

Back in the early 90s, my family temporary moved to a predominately white neighborhood in the more rural parts of Pennsylvania and got some death threats that very day. We only stayed a few months before we moved again, but that left some lasting memories for me.

It was a long time ago and I would hope in 2017 things have completely changed, but it still worries me. One of the best things I love about the Bay Area is the diversity and how much camaraderie there is between all cultures.

Of course I know the first generation immigrants still tend to stick to their own ethnic groups, but their kids definitely don't. And that's one thing that makes me very comfortable and happy.

Some relevant HN Thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10686212
I once knew a guy who was enlisted in the Air Force (US) and assigned to a ROTC unit at some school near Harvard. He some how got into Harvard Business school and got the Air Force to pay for it. When I knew him, he was in my reserve unit, and had finagled a COO role at a prominent local business with the mandate to turn it around. Apparently this was based solely on his MBA from Harvard. Which he did. He finished out his reserve contract and last I heard had moved on to CEO some other company.

TL DR: Air Force enlisted to CEO.

Edit; Now that I think about it, I also worked for another company who's CEO had started of enlisted in the military (army national guard iirc). So two enlisted to CEO stories.
Nice work! There is still room for improvements, but this website will certainly provide a lot of value to developers.

> I cannot understand how anyone can look at him and say, yes, that man should be leading this country

They support Trump because they admire him, plain and simple. He's a blowhard who's blustered his way into becoming President of the United States.

A regular working-class guy knows he's no Obama, or Lincoln, or Ronald Reagan. But he looks at Trump and thinks to himself, 'If THAT guy can make it, then so can I.' To them, Trump is literally the American Dream of upward mobility incarnate.
With hardware U2F the benefit lies in not having the private key available on the client device at all. That means that copying it is impossible (without dismantling the key and using quite advanced equipment to attempt to read the private key).

With software U2F I think you are right; client-side certs just work, now, in all major browsers. Installing them is a hassle, but it can be managed with good documentation (we use client-side certificates for authentication at the moment).

Personally, I don't think software U2F should exist outside of development and testing scenarios.
My recommendation would be to go back to the original sources. Hardly anyone (on Medium or Techcrunch, that is) would know about Arthur Samuel's checkers playing program. His paper, "Some Studies in Machine Learning Using the Game of Checkers", can be found in the compilation, "Computers and Thought" by Feigenbaum and Feldman.

Another good resource is the three-volume set, "The Handbook of Artificial Intelligence ", also by Feigenbaum. It's a very thorough catalog of programs developed in the 60s and 70s that illustrate various techniques used in AI programs.

"Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture" by Martin Fowler made a big difference for me at the time. Also, "Domain Driven Design" by Eric Evans. Both have a focus on high level architecture.

Of books that are more on the craft of programming, "Refactoring" (Also Fowler) is good. And I enjoyed "Practical Common Lisp" by Peter Seibel too.

In general, I suspect that the value of a book has more to do with where the reader is, than where the book is.

Edit: language
I was under the impression pinball was removed because it was basically unsupportable and too had too much low level hacky graphics code to port across changes in the graphics subsystems. A shame though, it was a fun game.
