I think both Carmack and Abrash have written about latency experiments with VR doing very simple setups with simple geometry or stripe patterns. I don't recall where, but if you can dig those things up they might give you some more ideas.
Pushing IMAP Events to Browser from Wild Duck IMAP Server
I read it as "journal" as in like a personal journal.
There's a lot of comments claiming the site is "un-navigable" which I find to be curious given that the only thing one has to do is scroll down

And this is coming from a person who is not into the whole "scrolljack" thing to bring things into and out of view. Its implementation here is a bit hokey, but that's the state of web UI these days. I was able to see all the information, I can say that at least.
Right now there is not much interaction happening with drivers texting or watching videos on their phones. I cannot wait for the moment this doesn't imperil their and others safety.
In fact a country selector would allow not just measures to be adapted but also the ingredients (eg. in some countries dry-yeast is a lot harder to find than the regular kind). Cuts of meat are different too and you often have to resort to Wikipedia's language options to see what a tenderloin cut (say) is in your own language. Finally you could have alternatives with which you could swap out any missing ingredients.
Hey all!

I'm Nate, Founder and CTO of Lever. We are excited to announce this key milestone. We're a lot more excited to continue creating new innovative products, features, and technology that every company needs to finally master their talent acquisition challenges.

I'd love to answer any questions you might have, Lever customers and people interested in YC startups alike!
Even if hardware is not open, hardware can be isolated. Then provided you are in control of the communication between the isolated hardware, you can be more certain that you are in control. Security through isolation doesn't require perfect security of the closed components. The problem with the management engine is that it can't be isolated.
I ported a large Fortran codebase for mech eng analysis to Xenix from VMS back in the late 80s. We needed more than 640K, so DOS wouldn't do, and this was before Windows. I had to write a device driver for the 68000 based graphics card. That was my first real C coding experience. Fun! I didn't know about BSD at the time, but it looks like Xenix was System V [1].

The proper name I think would be "Technical Reports." Not terribly catchy. But journal does make it sound like they are pretending to be science-y.
I had the same problem to find an apartment in Zurich and started scraping several websites to automate the process. The tool is at https://www.immomapper.ch perhaps you find it useful.
Journal does not imply peer reviewed. The word originates from Latin and simply means "daily". I.e. a periodical publication. An academic journal can be peer reviewed but that's not always the case.

A Critique of Interpersonal Vulnerability
That's an interesting perspective. Do you not think in times of war greater access to information is a great advantage of the internet? I'm curious as to why you would think that in wartime restricting information might be a good thing (other than persisting the propagation of propaganda!)
Not sure why that would be the case if people are still working roughly the same hours but commuting longer distances and potentially sending cars off to park in less congested areas. Furthermore, for a lot of major cities, traffic is pretty bad across broad areas and for pretty good chunks of the day and night already.
I've been trying to get a hold of one of those cold storage thumb drive wallets for a month. Everywhere I look is sold out. I guess people really are catching on to all the advantages you point out in favor of them. Great write up.
Ask HN: What should I learn next to move on
Dear HN community,

I am working a dead end development job using django/python.
Dead end meaning there is no way for me to move anywhere within the organization.
Four years ago I've started a Bachelors Degree in CS and will finish the degree in the next three semesters.
My plan is to then get a Masters in CS.

I would like to move on to a different company, and would like to know what skill set would be most beneficial.
Loving programming and anything that has to do with computers in general I learn pretty quickly and know a fair bit.
At the same time I feel like I am a jack of all trades master of none kind of person and would like to specialize.

But what to specialize in the greater context of programming/software development is the big question.

thanks for reading and responding!!
Livejournal was peer-reviewed though.
Agreed, but open-source is a necessary precondition for free software.
I guess my point is that as long as the hardware itself is closed source you have to trust the vendor anyway. Suppose the PSP source code was open sourced, how can you be sure it's actually what's being run by the CPU? How can you know certain instructions aren't backdoored somehow?

It makes it a bit more difficult to implement such backdoors of course, but it's still perfectly doable.

Again, I'm happy that people value their privacy and campaign for more open source but it seems a bit myopic to put all our attention on this tiny part of the problem. The risk is that if tomorrow AMD decides to actually open source the PSP many people will think that we won and the battle is over when we've just removed one of thousands of possible attack vectors.
I wonder - is there really any prestige to be had from publishing anonymously?
In my very limited experience Azure is much, much nicer than AWS from the admin experience. Its kind of embarrassing for Amazon how bad AWS is in that area. Google CE also has very nice UI.

I understand that Azure is competitive on price, and they do support all of the linuxy things you'd expect from AWS or GCE.

Unfortunately all that comes at the expense of reliability from what I've seen. :/
There's already facial recognition in the iPhone - it's used in the photo app to let you sort through photos of different people.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it more in use, though.
Yeah, it's not for everyone. It wasn't an overnight transition for me - I just reduced expenses and reduced time working accordingly.

Yes, I must admit I got absolutely sick to death of sitting in a stuffy office every day staring at a screen. No wonder I nearly topped myself!

All the best!
On the subject of not reading advice, do you have advice on how you get the word out to your side projects? How do you "market" them?
I have a 2015 15-inch retina macbook pro and a surface pro 4. Ever since Windows 10 added a native ubuntu bash shell to its OS, I have preferred using the surface for all of my development (some web stuff where I ssh into other boxes and some python number crunching done locally). A big factor is that the surface pro 4's screen looks a lot better than my retina macbook pro because it is more dense and has a higher resolution. A few years ago I would not have believed the stuff I am writing in this comment, but here we are!
Anecdotally, crypto conferences have noticeably more women than other areas of computer science.

From the data, women are better represented in virtually all fields of science, from molecular biology to astronomy to pure mathematics, than they are in computer science. Computer science and physics are the two worst STEM fields for gender parity.

My guess (that's all it is) is that cryptography is an intersection between CS and mathematics, and the mathematics draws more women into the field.
Your terrible title implies that all 4,750 say that goDaddy is okay where in reality it's 734 that voted for it.
Non-neutral internet bandwidth packages will only be offered if there is profit to be made. Cell phone companies didn't give us free long distance out of the kindness of their heart - it was simply too expensive to administer the billing. So, the trick is to make non-neutral packages very expensive to maintain or support for the ISP's. How? By making it too hard for them to implement in a way that isn't easily subverted or disrupted. (And by simply not buying the premium packages in the first place.) Too few customers with too much maintenance and software and administrative overhead, and the companies will flee from this idea except in the cases where they are intentionally engaged in censorship of some sort.
Except that the big difference is the audio and the hand-eye coordination part.

You can more easily hear a 10-20ms delay than you can see one, it's a physical feature of our human hardware. And hand-eye coordination tasks are all about anticipating an event. Hitting or catching a baseball for example, we can see it coming, the pattern of it's trajectory is what allows us to compensate for the 100ms of delay in our nervous system & is brain and allow us to have 1ms accuracy.

Neither of those is true for typing. Don't get me wrong; I want lower latency in my terminals and editors. I just don't buy that it's particularly important until the latency hits a threshold of badness, which is probably around 100ms. People largely aren't complaining about terminal latency nearly as much as they complain about video game latency, even though both are widely used.

The reason guitar hero has latency adjustment controls and almost no other games do is because they're mixing audio with hand-eye coordination tasks. I can very easily tell the difference between 5ms of delay in Guitar Hero. But I have no idea what my terminal latencies are, and I generally don't care until it stalls more than probably 200ms. It makes a very subtle responsiveness difference when there's an extra 30ms latency while I type, but it doesn't make a large functional difference or compromise my ability to type in any easily felt or measurable way. With Guitar Hero, on the other hand, I drastically lose my ability to play the game when the latency is off by 20ms.

Anyway, I appreciate the response & discussion, but I still want to hear a stronger justification for typing latency being very important. There might be one, I just don't think I've heard it yet.
This would be great for CERN. We do a lot of software development, but most of it is very bespoke, and you are often not going to get an answer on stackoverflow. Also there are confidentially requirements (it would be great if you could tag a post e.g. ATLAS-internal, CMS-internal, and then only people from your experiment could see that post). We probably have tens of thousands of members, so I think we have the critical size needed for such a project. Finally, I can see it not only used for programming, but also for physics, statistics, analysis questions in general.

Currently, we are mostly using old school mailing lists, and it can be hard to find some information you are looking for.

I would sign up, and prod our computing department to check this, but I'm quitting next week :-(.

Yes, he is using an iPad + remote Linux machine + network connection. It’s an interesting and useful combination for some use cases. You’re right that “you can’t really seriously work offline [for software dev] on it”, at present due purely to Apple-imposed software constraints, IMHO.
Regarding “not suiable for any efficient and high quality content creation”, there are some use cases where the iPad 10.5 Pro is pretty useful:

- with an Apple Pencil, it’s a very useful device for sketching out ideas (much like a piece of paper is, but with some neat advantages, e.g., infinite size, scalability, editing),

- with the keyboard and any text editor, it’s useful for banging out text, e.g. a rough draft of a blog post or paper...

No Fake News
Then I expect they won't be going to those large dark zones. I largely agree with his comment. It's not that we shouldn't do anything. (If it makes sense to make lane markings a bit wider, why not?) But if we really need to change large parts of infrastructure to accommodate automated vehicles, that's a non-starter just as it was when that sort of thing was discussed in the 1960s.
There were SCO Xenix versions for the 8086, 80286, and then the 386. I only remember SCO UNIX for the 386.
If facebook start up a service that offers fast network access to their own stuff, that's fine, it wouldn't break net neutraility rules. If facebook pretend to be an ISP and actively degrade performance from other social networks, then they are breaking the rules.

Spam filtering etc isn't against NN rules. No-one is delivering emails from marketing firms immediately, while holding back your emails from your aunt Mavis for an additional hour because she won't pay the premium service charge, even though they're coming from the same mailserver. All traffic that is getting delivered is being treated the same, as per NN.

CDNs aren't paying for a fast lane, they're paying to be closer to the source of the request. That just makes the hops smaller, it doesn't change the priority of the delivery. If I hand deliver a postcard to you vs putting in the mail 500 miles away, I'm not getting preferential treatment from the postoffice, I'm just closer and hence more able to deliver it faster.

Torrents are all slower than your capacity. That's a neutral network. Now, if some were unthrottled because someone paid off the ISP to do so, that would be against NN.
They already do manual review for many of their high-serving ads, and people shouldn't shy away from some human intervention in these processes.

AI and machine learning are most effective these days when they help assist people (flagging potentially malicious code, bubbling up anomalies, etc.), and it isn't that expensive to get a pair of eyeballs to double check conclusions!
If there's a transactions that go through multiple companies (A->B->C->D->E) then you'll have 5 databases with data replication or you could have 1 shared database on the blockchain.

It wasn't GPS accurate, but accurate enough for our usage (monitoring volunteers). I want to say it was under 10m and over 5m on average. It's been about 6 years since I've dealt with the system, so the details are a bit fuzzy.
What are the economic incentives to keep Internet free?
The most important and widely used cryptosystem on the Internet uses them together: DH to derive a key, RSA to sign the DH parameters.
Related to your observations is a vision of utopia I particularly like, called "Archipelago", by Scott Alexander[0]. The TL;DR of it, as I understand it, is:

- people are free to form and move between physical communities as they like

- there's a single central entity that does following:

a) enforces and protects the freedom of association and freedom of movement,

b) ensures, with overwhelming force, that no community starts a war against another,

c) handles various practical details like economic issues of the type "what if someone from community A moves to community B in order to take their free education, and then moves back to A without ever contributing to B's economy?".

The gist of the expected outcome is summarized by the last sentence of the linked article: "the end result is that the closer you come to true freedom of association, the closer you get to a world where everyone is a member of more or less the community they deserve".

If they're used as an analysis/design tool and not as a documentation-after-the-code-is-written tool, with tools that generate code from the diagrams, they are really powerful.

As the trend is to integrate more and more IPs into System-on-Chips hardware isolation is not really a given nowadays. You still have external memory I suppose, but you can do a lot just messing with the caches and the rest of the pipeline especially when we have more "high level" instruction sets dealing with AES and other crypto algorithms natively.

Also I don't really see how having access to the PSP source code would factor into that. As long as you can't prove that the management engine is really running that code unmodified and there's no hardware backdoor to change its behaviour it won't really get you anywhere.

Yes, I'm sure people are turning away in droves from the most competitive AMD processor in a decade because they won't open source their version of ME.

Even if the argument were quite convincing the money is what matters. In the world we live in today most issues that are actually contested have large business interests on both sides of them. If, as this article claims, the pro-neutrality guys no longer care, it doesn't really matter whether your average voter is completely convinced by the case for net neutrality.

I don't think that at all, I think you misread my argument. I'm saying that I'd trust the economic incentives to keep information flowing than to trust the political incentives. A company which delivers information to people who want it will make more profit over a company which does not do this.
The GDB people have done it again. The new release 4.17 of the GNU debugger [6] brings several new features, languages, and platforms, but for some reason, it no longer integrates properly with my graphical front-end DDD [10]: the arguments specified within DDD are not passed to the debugged program. Something has changed within GDB such that it no longer works for me. Something? Between the 4.16 and 4.17 releases, no less than 178,000 lines have changed. How can I isolate the change that caused the failure and make GDB work again?

Makes sense. The one meta-rule I always emphasize when introducing people to Zendo is "make the rule really simple, it'll be much harder to guess than you expect."
I agree. It's almost like there's a new JS fad every month and it's almost impossible to have an informed opinion on each of them.
The phrase "machine learning journal" strongly implies academic journal to most machine learning researchers though, in part because that is actually in the name of several journals in the field. I don't think Apple is unaware of that either. This reads to me as quite deliberately playing on that association, to upgrade the prestige of the stuff published here vs. what it'd have if it were just a blog.
Billionaire Investor Tucks Away 1% of His Net Worth in Bitcoin
If your phone is powered off or in airplane mode it is not supposed to emit RF and thus cannot be tracked. This is a matter of trust, so if your threat model includes high end threats, the assumption that it follows the normal requirements may be invalid.

If you remove the battery, it will be unpowered and unable to emit RF and thus cannot be tracked. While it is theoretically possible to hide an auxiliary battery in your phone, that would be very hard to achieve, especially in modern thin phones. If your threat model includes highly motivated state sponsored actors, this is could be achieved.

If you put your phone in a RF-tight enclosure (e.g. metal box), the RF energy cannot get out and thus it cannot be tracked.

People ask what I think of my host country everywhere I lived. I think we all can't help but to ask. When I'm asked by locals in EU countries I lived most ask with so much humility and uncertainty I'm worried of my answer. But in the US and the Israeli Territories the locals tend to ask with little humility. They are both politically muddy countries so I guess I understand why they would be defensive. And often when I'm asked by EU nationals about my time living in the US it's to reaffirm their sense of moral placement in the world ("well at least we aren't as bad as the americans"). And when EU nationals ask about my time living in the Israeli Territories, they hide all opinion and motive lest they be called anti-semetic.

Anyway, asking these things I guess is pretty universal.
