Nice job deleting my other comments too, fuckwit.
You are throwing in a lot of technical words around and the specific fact you state arent wrong, but that cannot make a strong case for the choice of the Normal distribution. All you need is that the variance of bounded (in time) increments be unbounded for the Gaussian behavior to fall apart (for example non-rare jumps of sufficient magnitude).
Piss off. If you haven't been here for six years, what the fuck could you possibly know? Detroit doesn't want you, asshole.

> Any of AMD's recent discrete graphics cards are very well supported.

This is true and I'm a happy linux gamer these days but I wanted to point out that these are new drivers and the mesa support is really only in new kernels. Ubuntu 16.04 - don't bother, Ubuntu 16.10 - getting there, Ubuntu 17.04 - worked great for me since day 1. Arch will also work fine.

> The demand for qualified developers isn't slowing afaik.

Does anyone in industry really count a 6-month course, no matter how intensive, as 'qualified'? It's hard enough breaking into your first job after a 3-4 year degree, most places still want more experience for their 'graduate' positions. I can't imagine it'd be easier for someone changing tracks mid-career with only a few months' coding experience.
Swintek also sells those clear-cabinet typewriters to the U.S. Government, probably for use in classified facilities.
Same thought. Let's see what that looks like Huffman coded. Or LZW or something. And most importantly, _localized_.

The only technical questions are what defines "memory" (flash vs SRAM?) and whether "memory size" refers to native capacity or compressed capacity. This is a legal problem, not a technical one. But it's probably one that can be solved with a sufficiently-sized ROM that does this stuff internally as a fixed function/trap. Think Mac Old World ROM.

Interesting legal question: if encoding scheme X doesn't code native language Y as well, in a world where people use digital typewriters, is that an equal-protection claim?

Furthermore, do prisoners not have unlimited rights to pen and paper? Is that not an equal-protection claim? Shouldn't they be allowed to possess multiple pads just like with paper? (not with a 5-4 Republican SCOTUS unfortunately)

Localization is not only important for the user base but also sets up the appropriate legal fights. Winnable ones, for this product.

Because in TYOOL 2017, paper = digital. Prisoners have a right to their private legal correspondence even in prison, and have for a long time. The fact that the typewriter is now digital is immaterial and denies prisoners their rights. Eventually we can provide mathematical assurance that the correspondence between prisoner and lawyer is private.

The struggle for developers is to make it sufficiently inert to the point that it is inarguable legally. We want to be able to claim this is a dumb plastic typewriter, but digital.

> Isn't "unbreakable" a bit of a dirty word in the security community

"Dirty" is one way to put it, yes. I'd personally use something like "false god" or "blasphemy" :). "Unbreakable" is a naive way of describing cryptographic algorithms, because it preempts conversations about intractability assertions or complexity analysis...modern cryptography accepts as a premise that "unbreakable" is not a reasonable goal, which is why we work by quantifying computational cost.

When I see someone use the phrase, "unbreakable cryptography", I mentally discount their authority to speak about cryptography and become more skeptical (this also applies to people who write things like "bank-grade security" or who tell me "AES-256" when I ask them how they're encrypting data, as if the key size is more important than the block cipher mode or confidentiality/authentication construction).

> Is there really such a thing as "unbreakable cryptography"?

A one-time pad, with the following provisos:

1. It has a truly random seed, not a pseudorandom one;

2. It is at least as long as the plaintext;

3. It is never reused (for the same plaintext, in whole or part).

It's straightforward to see why this guarantees information-theoretic security - you have no way of knowing when you've recovered the correct plaintext. There's nothing to brute-force.

In the security community we don't use one-time pads because we dare not touch the sun: they are extremely difficult to implement correctly, and even if you do implement them correctly you have traded off an inordinate amount of practical usability for a relatively small improvement in information theoretic security.

Asking people to 1) use true randomness to seed keys, 2) generate a new secret key for every message, 3) never reuse the same secret key and 4) keep each secret key securely confidential is extremely prone to error. It's often a fetishized ideal among people who first read about it, but in practice it's just not worth it.
Not really the author's fault that Wired applies a terrible stylesheet to their work.
That's a very bold statement: "can't be built with that stack".

A large portion of apps aren't built with Node or React, they're built with, say, Rails, Java/Spring or .NET backends and a front end framework like Angular.

I get the theory behind React, the reality is that it is often a complete mess.
I mean, that depends, doesn't it? nVidia also refused to support KMS for a long time but they finally added it as it became a harder and harder requirement. KMS was a big overhaul and pre-requisite for modern stacks like Wayland. If that can get added, I'm reasonably confident that Wayland support will show up somewhere along the way (assuming that Wayland continues on its track to widespread adoption).
Why do you need the NVidia proprietary driver? http://www.pcworld.com/article/2911459/why-nvidia-graphics-c...

Basically, if you're not a gamer, the open-source Nouveau driver should provide all you need, assuming it works for your card. But parts of your system may stop working, or cause other bugs, from not using the official drivers.

edit

I might have misinterpreted your question, so here's an alternate answer. If you mean "Why can't we just do 3D rendering with a framebuffer?", a framebuffer is just a copy of the rendered screen in memory. You render it in your local CPU, and then copy it over into video card memory. So it doesn't use hardware rendering, and can work with pretty much any card.

If you do want to do hardware rendering (or most any feature of your card at all) you have to write a kernel driver (the DRM) to use the chip, and then some userland software (the DRI) to manipulate that driver, and send data to it somehow from your client app using a standard API for 3d graphics (OpenGL's GLX extension for the X11 protocol). The devil is in the details though, so to work around some limitations, some people wrote new graphics software to allow the client app to render without a "middle man" in the way. That's where you get Wayland.
But see, then there is the key point: college grads just aren't getting work. The Bachelor's degree isn't even as useful as the HS diploma used to be in the 1970s. The big difference now is the debt one is saddled with after all three degrees up to the PHD and then a tacked on bootcamp so you can be over-skilled to do underpaid, stupid work at a food delivery uber-for-kittens app in a youth-andro-monoculture setting. (but you will only get this precious job if you are really young, a dude, white, and love craft beer, complicated facial hair, and being really really positive about everything and using the word passionate as much as humanly possible in every sentence.)

At one stage Ubuntu seemed to be definitely planning a move to Wayland. Because of it's performance however they may be pulling back from that:
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/07/ubuntu-uncertain-using-wa...

As a Fedora user I can understand the reluctance. The recent upgrade to Fedora 26 has given me a ton of gnome crashes which I think are Wayland related. Commentary on Fedora channels tends to be along the lines of "Wayland is great and works for everyone (OK, maybe not those with NVidia cards)".

If Ubuntu has millions of users it may have millions of NVidia users. Putting them onto unstable technology to pressure Nvidia into supporting Wayland wouldn't be a great move.
> This sounds wrong.

It is.

However there is a way to make it correct. Your second sentence is spot on the intuition. If you log transform power-law distributed random variable the RV that you get is an exponentially distributed RV.

Stories like this make me consider whether programmers that engage in commerce should be forced (yes, by law) into guilds that have rigid journeyman and apprenticeship stages before the programmer gets to touch the production environment. Specialized, official, bonded developer roles need to be established.

Our community cannot continue operating in the hacker mode wherever money is involved.
One thing I've never understood about the one-time pad:

How do you guarantee the third condition? Wouldn't you eventually run into the birthday problem if you sent enough messages?
We all owe you thanks for your work on this case.

I can imagine that profiling might have a use in generating leads for investigators to follow, perhaps leading them to actual evidence. But it can't be considered evidence itself.
that's a great question. given that i use the labview ecosystem, having another language that allows me to program desktop, real-time, and fpga applications all with the same lanhuage would be the eventual goal. so being bale to target any high-level cpu like x86 or arm but also targets like xilinx zynq would be great. in addition, libraries for signal and image processing in additional to libraries for serial and other instrument communication would be best. i realize i am describing more of a systems development rather than just embedded systems, but those are my needs. basically i want something that can replace labview to give me access to more advanced abstractions.
This is a great idea.

Makes you wonder though, if we could just replace all the visual advertising we see on a daily basis with knowledge snippets like these, life would be so much better. :D
That just makes the price of a "programmer" go up. And the normal people responsible for putting together said requirements know that in the end it would just make their IT costs go up, so therefore they don't (which is fine with me)

Old timers that remember Enterprise JavaBeans 1.x entity beans are probably rolling in laughter currently. It had a very similar problem in 1999-2000 that doomed many systems to crappy performance and tarred EJB forever.

History never fails to repeat itself: beware subsystems that propose to wrap and abstract your database for a new paradigm "automatically". They're leaky and difficult and take a decade to get right. See: ActiveRecord, EJB followed by JPA, .NET's various DB frameworks, Django, etc.
I fully agree (it's problematic for stuff like legal correspondence) but you know it's going to be Item #1 on any list of criteria for adoption.

Reality is that right now wardens can peek on pretty much what they want. It's paper. Who gets to decide what prisoner letters get opened? The warden.

Stuff that is technically protected correspondence gets opened? Sucks to be you. If it's not a sealed room alone with your lawyer... it counts. Is SCOTUS gonna come down on the guards/warden/etc? Hell no. Lol if you think you can even convict a specific random cop who does a thing. Inmates have basically no legal protection or rights.

In a 5-4 ruling, it's a "bona fide mistake".

Fight that fight later. Because eventually we can actually mathematically guarantee, with encryption, that nobody but the lawyer can actually read that.
It's nothing at all like that. I already mentioned the Selection task above, it's a very googleable term. It's old and there is yet no theory fully explaining why people fail at it as they do.

> Users routinely download 10-100meg apps on their phones and tablets and update them constantly.

That's a pretty horrid mischaracterization. Users may download and install apps that are tens of megabytes per bundle, but at least the downloaded blob is then entirely local. The apps don't redownload themselves on every startup.

Let's compare that to a bloated megalith webpage with framework machinery, a dozen trackers and $deity knows what else. "ETag has changed, please wait while we drip feed you this >20MB JS+CSS gob. Oh, and btw - you can't see the page text at all until the download has been processed."

Yuck.
By responding to this comment, I increase my chances of being victimized by some percent. By disagreeing with you within my reply, I increase it further. By listing and drawing attention to my comment 'almost deliberately', it probably raises the 'rate' of increase. Using a paragraph much longer than this point will draw further scrutiny.

A password manager is good<>great [the] most<>majority of the time. By drawing attention to yourself in a manner as small as this or as largely as describing my exact setup and process, I should start to worry for myself and my digital security. By stating that locks are meant for honest people I should be able to draw in some agreement by readers of this comment. Any and all of these points will raise me out of the 'crowd' of password manager users and paint me some shade of a target to malicious activity.

However, I believe that notwithstanding the above information, the average user is 99<>100% safe using a password manager in best practice settings.
It is a very interesting thought.

Any Germans care to comment? They have the closest systems, I would think.
No, it doesn't depend. The two statements are equivalent. NVidia could certainly change their plans, but the particular way they phrase "no support" is irrelevant.

It's not as if "we have no plans for support" could result in accidentally having support.

Yes, so the rule is slightly misstated. Assuming that your messages are all under n bits and you always use an n-length pad, you will reuse the same pad approximately once every 2^n messages. Not coincidentally, 2^n is also the number of possible one-time pads there are, so your adversary gains no information from this fact.
A company that is wholly reliant on Linux to sell quite a few of their products?

Gaming enthusiasts aren't running Linux. The HPC/GPU compute market don't care about Wayland. Android devices aren't using Wayland.

What part of their target market runs Linux?

What portion of the desktop market runs Linux?

If it wasn't for Linux, I'd be in a very different profession, so I'm a huge fan. But I don't understand where you guys that act like the Linux desktop is a big enough market that this will make a material affect on nvidia's bottom line is so weird to me.
Those markets are also not demanding support because many of them have no display at all. This is definitely true for HPC GPUs and will be true for deep learning servers.

Don't think it'll happen. From the article:

A hard fork would be impractical–what do you do about all of the transactions that occur downstream? What about the people who innocently traded assets with the attacker? Once the ether they’ve stolen gets laundered and enters general circulation, it’s like counterfeit bills circulating in the economy — it’s easy to stop when it’s all in one briefcase, but once everyone’s potentially holding a counterfeit bill, you can’t really turn back the clock anymore.

Also, a tweet from Vitalik:

https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/887782650026631168
You can't. Or, well, you can, but it's redundant. One-time pads make sense in the Cold War, Vernam Square era of cryptography. But now that we have the internet and public key cryptography, a one-time pad implemented in Ethereum would be inane and frivolous.

Take Alice and Bob, who want to communicate confidentially. Alice doesn't know Bob personally, so she can't securely communicate the one-time pad to Bob in person. Ethereum implements public-key cryptography, so she uses Bob's public key to send him the one-time pad's key. But now we're at the chicken and egg problem: we've just witnessed secure communication, so why do we want to use a one-time pad in the first place?

Alice and Bob might respond, "so we can have perfect secrecy at some point in the future!" Which...alright, sure, let's go with it. So now to implement the one-time pad in Ethereum, Alice needs to feed a source of true randomness as a seed for a secret key which is as long as the plaintext. This is not only a genuinely hard problem, but it's grossly inefficient to encrypt something using a secret key as long as the plaintext itself. But wait - for every new plaintext, Alice has to do this true random seed song and dance each time to generate a new secret key. And every secret key ever used needs to be kept perfectly secret as well.

You really just don't want to do this. One-time pads barely made sense in pre-modern cryptography; they don't solve any practical problems in modern cryptography, and their demands require steep usability sacrifices that are quite easy to screw up.
Nothing was stolen. All I see is a programmer abiding by the contracts.
