There is a very confusing message about what u2f is and how much it costs. If you go to Amazon and search for u2f the first thing you get is a at $18, then you another at $40. But a u2f key is fairly simple and should cost ~$10. Why $40, you might ask? It (and others costing more) come with a range of other options such as TOTP etc that have nothing to do with u2f.

Buy the cheapest u2f key that is certified by FIDO, currently under $10 on Amazon.

Disclaimer, not associated with any u2f company, but I have three of them (and now the github software version as well).
I absolutely agree with you. In the above comment I was just speculating on the possible economical/political reasoning behind the lack of automation. In addition to simply being cheaper than automated solutions (in the short run), cheap labour might also be seen by capitalists/governments as an economical agent, that is more preferable for the economy with regards to increasing GDP, than those on welfare, because the former still has some spare money to spend, and welfare covers only the very basic needs. I agree that it's truly awful that in some extreme cases people have to pay with their health/life to be a part of a consumerist society.
I wonder how the popularity trend of Elixir has been lately. I know you can try to see it through GitHub or Google Trends, but as many members of the Elixir community use Slack I don't know if it's the best way to do it. One thing I'd like to see would be the evolution of downloads of the language and on Hex.

>For things you like doing that you are good at, make that your main job. You will be effective and happy.

The other outcome besides being "effective and happy" is "turning something you enjoy into something you hate because now you have to do it." Just because you love doing something doesn't mean you love being forced to do it for someone else 40 hours a week.

It's pretty naïve to think that the things you enjoy in your free time are the things you enjoy doing for paid work and vise versa. I absolutely hate cleaning around my house, I hate everything about it, but I don't mind cleaning for paid work at all.

There's other issues too and quite a few people I know took that route ("doing what you love") and it lead to career dissatisfaction for various reasons.

Jobs have other "stuff" other than just your work, you may love X but hate working in X industry for various reasons, like work environment, salary, job prospects, etc.

The things you enjoy and are good are probably not even viable paid opportunities. (Nobody's going to pay you to put together model airplanes).

You don't get to "test drive" the vast majority of jobs at home first.

There's something to be about not being invested in your work and, essentially, not making your work the focus of your life.

From 1877 - 1947, the following became an everyday reality : the telephone, television, cars, flight, the light bulb, flush toilets, skyscrapers.

The computer age has changed things in a big way, sure, but it's pretty hard to overstate how profoundly many aspects of human life changed in that period.

Home Depot does price match, but you do have to watch out for the carve outs. I most recently tried to save quite a bit of money on my kitchen appliances. However, they only price match "in stock" merchandise. They had to order these units so no price match for me.
You should perhaps consider turning this into a paid email list service, that routinely sends out an update on the conference list with a bit more information on each. Charge maybe as low as $5 or as high as $12, per year. A couple thousand subscribers over time and you have yourself a nice side business. If you make it inexpensive enough, people will be happy receiving the updates via email, rather than having to remember to visit your site regularly.

Congrats on the new release! While this is all great news, it's still quite hard to get a full-time Elixir job outside of US. Kind of like staring at the candy shop display while it's closed. I'm wondering how to make this happen. I'm in a place where Elixir is just not going to happen and seems unreasonable to expect that I'll be able to convince people to switch to it right after joining a new place. Seems like the only option is to find spare time for playing with Elixir, but that proved to be difficult when I need to invested time in a different stack that actually helps me pay the bills.

I find business cards hugely useful as the client. If you don't give me one, I'll forget how to contact you in a few hours.

I have a few inch tall stack of business cards I've collected over the years, mostly from people who wanted to sell me or the company I worked for at the time something. When I or my company want to buy something, I go to that stack and can quickly find contact info to reach out to one of the people and get quotes or info.

The correct term is actually "Down Syndrome".
The issue isn't whether or not 30% is a reasonable amount. The issue is that no one else is allowed to compete with them to do it better or cheaper. Maybe someone else wants to take a 70% cut will do such a fantastic job of marketing that it would be worth it. They should be allowed to do so. Maybe some larger app developers want to handle distribution and marketing in-house. They should also be allowed to do so.

You can only get certificates for up to 2000 new subdomains per week, but you can renew many more than that, so I can work my up to a few tens of thousands of subdomains if needed.

From https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/:

"The main limit is Certificates per Registered Domain (20 per week)...

"If you have a lot of subdomains, you may want to combine them into a single certificate, up to a limit of 100 Names per Certificate. Combined with the above limit, that means you can issue certificates containing up to 2,000 unique subdomains per week...

"To make sure you can always renew your certificates when you need to, we have a Renewal Exemption to the Certificates per Registered Domain limit. Even if you’ve hit the limit for the week, you can still issue new certificates that count as renewals...

"Note that the Renewal Exemption also means you can gradually increase the number of certificates available to your subdomains. You can issue 20 certificates in week 1, 20 more certificates in week 2, and so on, while not interfering with renewals of existing certificates."

A wildcard certificate would be far more convenient! I'm looking forward to that.
I keep bringing up the example of Bitcoin exchanges and wallets. In the first few years, there were constant hacks and scams (with wallets). Due to the global nature of Bitcoin, there was no effective way to regulate it, so this state of affairs continued until consumers and the ecosystem in general finally became wise, and avoided exchanges unless they met certain conditions (e.g. backed by reputable parties, used security best practices like cold storage) and avoided certain categories of wallets altogether (e.g. web wallets that store consumer coins server side).
Sorry, I meant booking data. To-from, prices, and anything related.
If you're self employed or have your own business you can use pre-tax dollars for a lot of those expenses.

Out of curiosity why would you include food, housing, and transport, etc in your calculation. Those are sunk costs so if the premise is "I'll work 2 extra hours a week" in order to pay someone to 6 hours of cleaning, cooking, etc, then those sunk costs don't really enter into it.

It's seems like what you're really calculating is profit per hour.

Do you have a link to your book?
I don't really see the problem with that, though, as long as you're aware of it as you listen to it.

There's just no right wing counter to NPR, and to compare it to Fox News or Breitbart is complete nonesense.

I'd love to find a media outlet with real journalistic integrity that draws the narrative from a right wing perspective but it just doesn't seem to exist. They seem to either go the route of tabloid style news coverage or indulge way too many conspiracy theories to even take serious.
Benchmarking parallel v serial ESI processing in Varnish
Looks like a very interesting project, but maybe there's some misunderstandings about the license; from the readme:

> x64dbg is licensed under GPLv3, which means you can freely distribute and/or modify the source of x64dbg, as long as you share your changes with us.

Should probably read: "... as long as you make genuine offer of providing the source code and changes to those you distribute your version of x64dbg to."

In practice it of course makes sense to upstream changes, but there's nothing in the gpl about that.
We do owe those around us.

We are a society built on good will. The kindness of others has given me everything I value in life. It is my responsibility to pay into it.

Sometimes we cannot afford to. That is fine. A lifetime of good deeds covers moments of necessary selfishness. If this was one such moment for you, don't feel bad about it. But if you could afford to take the time and wealth to make the world better, do.
> I guess the current API is quite low level and doesn't include higher level abstractions to prevent this kind of attacks.

A fundamental principle of Ethereum is that its smart contracts have Turing-complete computing power. Therefore, there is no possibility of 'higher level abstractions' that will permit only legitimate contracts to be written (even if the abstractions are limited in their power, an attacker can make use of the full power of the underlying system.)

Writing provably-secure smart contracts is as difficult as writing provably-secure software for any other Turing-complete platform: i.e. only a small percentage of developers can do it. Furthermore, the software that comprises the platform itself has not been stringently verified.

Of course, we are using lots of software in banking and finance that is not formally verified, but there are significant differences: it runs in secured environments with controlled and very limited external access, and there are out-of-band methods for correcting mistakes. In contrast, blockchain currencies are actually promoted as being immune to this sort of interference on account of transactions being irrevokable (and no, the hard fork that rescued the DAO participants is not a counter-example, as that will not be feasible in future.)

I cannot say these problems will not be resolved in the future, but why would anyone put any significant value at risk until they are?

I fail to see how being murdered in a terrorist attack, or indeed in any other fashion, cannot be said to curtail the exercise of those rights the Declaration characterizes as inalienable, and indeed the exercise of any other rights we may care to consider likewise.

There are no immutable constants, gravitational or otherwise, in the world of human ideas. If you want me to agree with you that it's preferable to die than to be noninvasively and incidentally spied upon, it helps that cause not at all simply to say the truth of your perspective on the matter is as ineluctable as gravitation - this rather fails to convince.
I think a large part of it is supporting cross-platform developers who might be mainly Linux based internally, so someone writing apps in node primarily on Linux (for example) can more easily test against MS SQL Server (as well as postgres/mariadb/...) and add it to the "supported" list without that being quite as much hassle as it might otherwise be. SQL Server working on Linux potentially increases its catchment area for devs and projects noticeably. I see that as a much more likely use case than SQL Server on Linux in production.

Now that practically all the features are available in the standard edition (depending on your support and scale-up/scale-out requirements) it could end up used in production for licensing cost reasons particularly if the availability/DR/scaling features work well (where previously if you needed Enterprise edition the cost of windows was a drop in the ocean - Standard isn't exactly pocket money cheap but still...).

Another PoV could just be that these days interpolarity matters much more to MS than it used to, as their key product focus is moving further away from the OS & individual services and more onto the platform with Azure - they don't care what DB engine you run on which OS, as long as you do so on their platform - hence moves to support postgres & mysql in the database-as-a-service-upon-platform-as-a-service manner that they already offer for SQL Server. Of course they'd prefer that you used Windows and SQL Server but not wanting to (or depending on the project, not being able to) use one needn't get in the way of using the other, not should not using one (or either) get I the way of using Azure.

I would like to believe so too, but if you look at what these subscription based media are writing you'll soon realize they are not free from this either.

Subscription based sites are afraid that they will lose their existing use base if they talk about something their users won't like that they tilt towards writing about what their users want to hear. For example, everyone knows that most mainstream media sites tilt heavily towards left to the point where it's not objective anymore and closer to propaganda.

The problem is much deeper than you think. It's not just about ad vs subscription. It's the fact that you can't make enough money with media nowadays regardless of whether it's ad or subscription. Because they don't make enough money but they want to, they end up making bad decisions to extract as much of their reader's attention out to money as possible.

I can see how a new listener might be thrown off, but they really aren't conspiracy nuts.

Yes, they frequently joke about chemtrails, but it is within a context of a joke, or as a punchline.

Yes, they mock scientists that advocate for global climate change- not because of the actual phenomena, but because of the low quality of the papers that promote it, the corrupt method by which grants are only given to those that agree with the hypothesis, and the near fanatical following that people have created around it.

Is climate change real? Of course, they aren't doubting that.
Is there a lot of hokum surrounding it? Absolutely. People become fear mongers to turn a quick buck.

No Agenda is, as many fans of the show put it "a twice weekly dose of sanity". When people were freaking out about "Russia hacking the DNC", they scoured the news and put all the evidence on the table, which turns out there wasn't much. Other news just took the headline and ran. Same deal on the other side of the conspiracy-isle with pizzagate: they scoured and put all the evidence on the table. Turns out there wasn't much. They are fantastic for calming you down when the news winds you up about something.
It's probably a bit late for this reply, but... Another clumsy workaround is to use operator(). Again, standard C++ and this one has access to local variables:

struct local {

local(int & a, int & b) : a_(a), b_(b) {}

int operator()()
{
return a_ + b_;
}

} nested(x, y);

x = 99; y = 1;
return nested();
}

assert(g() == 100);

Criminal investigations take time but the criminal acts themselves would not be prevented by regulation at all.

ICOs that make legally binding agreements with their investors are well covered already so that leaves only those who start fraudulent ICOs. Again here, if a financial crime is committed, then there will be a criminal investigation too.
