You must be confused. There is no left in this country. The Dems are a center right party shifting rightward over the last few decades in line with the general rightward shift in most national officeholders.

For all this deriding of "the left" I hear from my righty friends I cannot name very many authentically leftist officeholders or party leadership. Instead, that party just offers what used to be considered Republican plans (like Gingrich or Romney's views on health care, or the Reagan/Bush tax policy)
Are there 22 months in your year or 14?

Probably also why they still haven't fixed their handling of security reports since they left everyone's personal information on a system with a web-accessible root Python shell for over a week after being warned about said hole, and it inevitably got hacked and leaked all over the Internet. (A researcher was complaining about not being able to report a serious issue a couple of days ago.) As long as everything's centralised on Patreon and there are no meaningful alternatives there's no reason for them to care. After all, what are people going to do? For ordinary people, Patreon is where all the artists and content are; for artists it's where all the poeple funding them are.
Exactly. Question to all those who think the USA is so bad...why don't you leave?
So, does this only work when everyone is only on both Windows and MSN? That would be a showstopper for most groups.
Bitcoin round trip fees are too high, cash to BTC back to cash probably averages 10-15%, plus the volatility risk. Patreon is not cheap, probably averaging 8-10%, but it is cheaper and obviously much more convenient.
I think gp is complaining that the second you type your password into the form, you've "used it", hence you should change it.

The gp makes a good point, but that's also why you can submit the `sha1($your_password)` instead. The only question is why did Troy allow un-hashed passwords to be submitted.

In this article, which is what we're discussing here, it is very clearly either a typo, or it's some journalist spouting off above their pay grade.
To format the password I guess? pwgen sounds like a command that might be able to do that, too, though, but I wouldn't know.

Anyway, as far as password creation goes, here's another alternative based on more standard tools:

I think it's true that being a woman in America isn't all that bad if you're in a privileged group, but under-served populations tend to get the shaft (in more ways then one), and especially women.

While the wage gap between men and women is close when you adjust for "job differences", I think the strong reaction against that caveat is "adjusting for job differences" equates strongly with "behaving like a man".

Fair point on the community our regard for being politically correct is obnoxious, and I definitely don't think you should have been down voted for expressing an intellectually earnest opinion, c'est la vie.

Relevant quote from the cited article:

Sanitation by boiling or microwave treatment has been shown to significantly reduce the bacterial load of kitchen sponges19, 21 and can therefore be regarded as a reasonable hygiene measure. However, our data showed that regularly sanitized sponges (as indicated by their users) did not contain less bacteria than uncleaned ones. Moreover, “special cleaning” even increased the relative abundance of both the Moraxella– and Chryseobacterium–affiliated OTUs (Fig. 3B). Presumably, resistant bacteria survive the sanitation process and rapidly re–colonize the released niches until reaching a similar abundance as before the treatment (Fig. 6A). This effect resembles the effect of an antibiotic therapy on the gut microbiota40, 41, and might promote the establishment of higher shares of RG2-related species in the kitchen sponges. Although further analyses, including controlled sanitation experiments, are needed to substantiate these findings, our data allow careful speculation that a prolonged application of sanitation measures of kitchen sponges is not advisable.
In what situation is it useful to know 355/113? It's approximation so it won't be used in any closed-form solution, so it's going to be converted to decimal or some other unit, which will either be a laborious manual calculation or require a calculator, which will have a more-precise value of pi stored in its memory.

We fixed the back-button issue. We currently have only 53 cities during this beta, and are aiming to add a ton more soon.

And you are right, the autocomplete algo needs a bit more work and a fallback for missing cities. We're on it.
I do sincerely apologize for taking my frustrations out on you, because you have indeed gone above and beyond the call to help make crypto accessible.

Nonetheless, I still stand by the substance of my comment: when you (not you specifically, but anyone) say, "You have to know X" you should check that doing a Google search for X yields some reasonable results, and if it doesn't, provide a hint on how to proceed.
Yea, people said the same thing about Digg. TBH Google is probably interested in buying anything remotely social. Digg had the reason of not accepting their corporate "culture". Either that or Google figures out that they just have to wait and hire the CEO once the company fails (this happened to Digg).
I think you mean GitHub for data. Git is just a version control system and you can't differentiate yourself by supporting it. You can however, differentiate yourself, by being the place to share data like GitHub.

In the past, Microsoft (TFS), IBM (ClearCase), and others were able to "control the spice", since they owned the versioning control system. But with Git, you can't differentiate yourself by supporting it.
Came here to say the exact same thing. I tried typing in Montreal and it took me to Seoul. Really frustrating actually.

I know about half of the OO roots, and yes, to be correct I should say mainstream post cpp OO, and not Kay Smalltalk OO.

But in a way Kay OO isn't far from FP. He wanted algebras of objects.. he had some mathematical basis for his language design efforts. As opposed to C++ who used some principles to solve large C code base issues (my 2 cents).

I clicked your link, and the results weren't useful. They were mostly links to reports about fixes for carry-propagation bugs in various pieces of software (which did not explain what a carry-propagation bug is).

Ironically, the fourth result was a link to a different HN discussion about someone trying to figure out what a carry-propagation bug is, and failing to find any good resources through Google. (Although, to be fair, if you dig into that link a bit more, someone does attempt to explain.)

So I wouldn't say it's impossible to find on one's own, but saying it's "easy" is a bit of a stretch.
Apology totally accepted, although I still agree with no part of any of your arguments on this thread. :)
The MS-Yahoo stories misses the fact that MS was trying to buy Yahoo with its Alibaba stake.

The Yahoo that was sold recently did not include the Alibaba stake. This is where the key value of Yahoo lies.

If you break it down, the Yahoo Alibaba + Yahoo Japan stake + Yahoo's final selling price equals Microsoft's $45/share offer

Well,
The thing about "the collapse of peer review" (or the rise of predatory journals) is that it involves something like the collapse of the "scientific community". For a device like peer review to work, you need to have a pool of individuals who are trustworthy - who care more about the truth more than they care about one or another sources of immediate benefit.

The institution of tenure is intended to facilitate this - the ideal is a professor receives tenure and then can pursue their ideals rather than constantly looking over their shoulder wondering if they are going to survive.

Of course, tenure is subject to abuse and tenure isn't the only way to get a pool of people who are significantly interested in "what is true" rather than "will this benefit me". But elimination of tenure and the reworking of the university on a "neo-liberal" basis of pay-for-immediate-performance does seems to be gradually destroying the community part of the scientific community (if a given authority just wants money, why shouldn't any of their peer reviews be up for the highest bid or why should they endorse predatory journal or etc). That's not as much of a problem with technical fields where it's known that truth can be nearly mechanically verified (math is approaching that level but sociology seems unlikely to get there soon, for example).

We may get to a point where our society has immense technical know-how but has abandoned science as such. Goes along with "post-truth" I suppose.
Similar to Italian plurals - one "panino", many "panini", and "paninis" is not a thing.
> I submit that "carry-propagation bug" is easily looked up.

Well, obviously anything is easily looked up. The problem is that in this case the results aren't very helpful if you don't already know what it is. I even said this in my OP: " if you go search for "carry propagation bug" you will find lots of examples of carry propagation bugs being found and fixed, but no explanation of what one is."
I think the point of gp is to say that once you submit your password, you have no control of where it goes.

Maybe a malicious copy of the website exists at lots of LevenshteinDist=1 domains. Accidentally typo the domain and get pwned, thinking you are submitting it to an ethical security researcher's tool, but actually getting phished.

Why are people in this thread so outraged without knowing any of the facts? For all we know there might be a legitimate charge on which he was arrested.

Because US law enforcement have consciously chosen, over the past couple of decades, to engage in activities that make them "the bad guy". It's just abductive inference and a simple bayesian prior at this point. Nobody is reaching any absolute conclusions yet, but a highly plausible explanation, until such time as other facts become available, is over-reach / malicious behavior by the FBI and their cronies.

A noteworthy feature of JavaScript is that it is predominantly a scripting language for large OOP-designed C++ systems. All the major browsers are C++ underneath, and so is Node.

This has created an odd tension where the APIs that programmers use are implemented as OOP under the hood, yet JavaScript itself shied away from OOP concepts. With features like this, the JS standard is slowly creeping towards the style of programming that underlies the ecosystem.

The Megaupload case sadly is a good example of what no one wants to repeat, as there this was exactly argued - that, once notified, the hoster has to ensure this file won't ever be uploaded again, and all other copies are removed, too.
Right, and that's what happens today, the JS for the secondary functionality is loaded on demand.

Here's what I have in my FB homepage during a random load:

- Search bar for searching people/groups/posts/pages
- News ticker
- Friend requests, Notifications
- Sidebar ads
- A rich text editor for sharing my status
- A newsfeed story with a special "memory - 3years ago" feature
- Comments & commenting UI under newsfeed stories
- Suggestions for "People You May know"
- A video auto-playing a clip from a friend, with capability to auto-select between tracks of different video quality based on bandwidth (including bandwidth estimator code)
- And probably a dozen different A/B experiments that I'm a part of

It takes a lot of code just to render all these UI elements. If I interact with any of them, additional code is loaded (you can see this in the Network monitor).

This homescreen UI is as rich as any desktop application and requires no less code to render. The problem being addressed in this proposal is that a native version of this app would start a lot faster than the web version. And that's because a browser will parse all the code files loaded on startup in an app (inefficiently, by necessity), but a native app will only read the code for the code paths that are actually executed.

Basically, O(code executed) is a lot better than O(all files containing code that is executed). And this proposal features a more parser-friendly encoding and change to the parsing semantics.
True "Classes" in JS always seemed like a hack anyways. It will never be true OOP, so why shoehorn these concepts into it? Especially given prototypical inheritance patterns we will never have real java style oop patterns. Except for primitives, almost everything is an object, but they are basically hashmaps, not real classes or objects as someone from other languages might think of them.

Imo, the language was not build or designed for some of these heavier OOP concepts. Just my opinion.

This seems to fly in the face of many of the great things ES6 implemented.
What I can't recommend enough (and hinted at in the article) is for someone to use a transpiler like Babel (and core-js, babel-preset-env, and etc). There's no reason not to use many of the new features and new functions of ES2015+, and you can do that right now even if you're targeting old browsers with transpilation and a bit of automatic shimming.

Transpilation is wonderful but it does add a lot of complexity to the build chain. I'm with you the language features are worth it but it's just a quirk of developing for browsers that they don't move as fast as JS itself and that all of this extra machinery is necessary.
