Mostly no.

Some words written without Polish characters can become ambiguous without context. For example: word "łaska" - "mercy", written without Polish letter "ł" is "laska" - "stick".

Although, in old good times some people used British pound character in texts to express this letter, since '£' is visually similar to 'Ł' and more often available.

For other characters (ś,ź,ć,ż,ó,ą,ę) nothing like that was widely adopted. Workaround would be possible for 'ż' and 'ó' since they are (almost - see below) phonetically identical with 'rz' and 'u' respectively, but it wasn't popular, since most probably would be perceived as sign of very, very bad orthography.

*Almost, since some people claim they can distinguish these, but it's not popular ability.
I edited some examples written in Python to tidy them up and make the page PEP-8 compliant, so it actually serves as a good example of Python code. My edit was rejected for being too trivial, and after that I never used Documentation again.
... an important observation, for sure.
Are you familiar with Russell's teapot? The burden of proof lies upon the person making an assertion or claim.
Polish orthography is a disaster partly because of the choice of Latin over Cyrillic. The latter would have been a much better fit for the sounds in the language.

Making matters worse, there are homophones (ż and rz, u and ó, ch and h) that depend on when the word entered the language.

Like so many things wrong with the country, you can comfortably blame the Catholic Church for this orthographic train wreck.
There was once a GNU project for electronic voting (https://www.gnu.org/software/free/), but it was stopped after realizing they were trying to do was almost impossible to do and changed the direction into recommending to not use electronic voting systems at all.

It is "cheaper and simpler" to have a software button actuate a relay to open my glovebox than having a simple latch? It is going to be easier to have electric actuators for redirecting air than having plastic blades I move myself?

It doesn't hold water. These are crazy Musk fantasies being realized like the gull wing doors, not because they are cheaper, easier or more reliable.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tesla, Musk and really love the model 3, but the reasoning just doesn't make sense.

The number of comments here that assume paper ballots are inherently unhackable is disturbing. Paper is a technology like any other and subject to being manipulated by clever folks. The only way to have secure, trustworthy voting systems is to have them constantly being designed, updated, understood and publicly auditable. The only downside inherent to digital vs paper systems is that they're more complex and harder for people to understand and therefore audit, but there are plenty of upsides and the downsides can be mitigated through education. Open source is absolutely important for the auditability of voting software, but the same openness and transparency is just as vital with paper. tl;dr, it's not hard to hack paper!

It is not about you enforcing this on your daughter. The religion demands it. So if the app also facilitates that, it will appeal more to the target audience.
Yeah, I agree completely, I just don't think that the hype of the role is coming from practitioners.

I know this isn't really your point, but I've met Josh Wills, for example, and listened to many of his talks. I don't think I've met a more realistic guy (among actual practitioners) when it comes to the expectations and reality of doing corporate data science. The hype, I'd say, is just an emergent phenomenon of the tech reporting cycle. Nobody's out there _trying_ to inflate expectations, except a few consultants and "thought leaders" maybe.

> What are you talking about: http://cr.yp.to/antiforgery/cachetiming-20050414.pdf

Read that paper again. Cache timing attacks (and more generally timing attacks) are a subset of side channel attacks, which are not a break in the fundamental design of a cryptographic algorithm. When Bernstein mentions that he considers it a design flaw, that's a misnomer in the mathematical sense: he means that AES is antagonistic to a software implementation that can resist a timing attack, not that the design of the algorithm is fundamentally unsound. This is essentially true for all encryption schemes that utilize lookup tables and S-boxes, which he even mentions in the paper.

This is similar to using acoustic analysis or fault injection for key retrieval - yes, you've done it, but it's not really fair to say you've broken AES whatsoever. That remains a pipe dream. You've merely broken an AES implementation on a particular platform that was not hardened for this threat. Just a few months ago a team came up with a way to retrieve an AES key through acoustic analysis in a paper that was published here on HN. That's not actually the same as a cryptanalysis, the best of which is this: https://eprint.iacr.org/2009/317

There are effective CPU mitigations that allow you to safely implement algorithms in order to avoid this issue - for example, AES-NI theoretically mitigates cache timing attacks. See: http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~hovav/dist/aes_cache.pdf

So: no, I wouldn't "lose that bet so hard."
yeaaah let us arrest the good guys...
This was literally from the article.

> “You create new hives by breaking up your stronger hives, which just makes them weaker,” said Tim May, a beekeeper in Harvard, Illinois and the vice-president of the American Beekeeping Federation based in Atlanta.

There are many ways to split hives, the way we've been doing it to combat CCD is creating weaker hives (and thus more susceptible to mites and other diseases).

If you plan to remove that event listener later on, you would need to go full verbose.

this._callback = this.handleMouseDown.bind(this);
elm.addEventListener('mousedown', this._callback);
elm.removeEventListener('mousedown', this._callback);

Compared to:

elm.addEventListener('mousedown', this);
elm.removeEventListener('mousedown', this);

@richthegeek I removed that event listener in my example to illustrate how easy it is, there was otherwise no good reason for it.

> On the con side I'm worried my social life will suffer

Who doesn't want to hang out on a boat? That seems like a weird concern to me. I can only speak for London but I don't think there's a stigma attached. People are curious and in some ways even a bit envious. Also the boating community (here anyway) is very social (somewhat by necessity).

You should maybe look into some the practicalities before doing anything rash though (hygiene, maintenance, connectivity etc). I found it a little stressful at times but definitely don't regret it.
While we're in this thread: notice that pączki is a plural. Please remember this and don't say 'pierogies'—it's just pierogi.

There's no need to know the singular for pierogi, because no one has ever eaten just one.

In return, I promise to continue working to stop Polish people from pluralizing potato chips as "chipsy".

>I think people are reading rather too much into the phrase "sourcing". Read it as "assumed he'd probably wind up marrying a coworker" and the boss in question is just observing the obvious - workplace marriages are quite common in Japan, especially considering that company employees around that age tend to socialize a lot within the company.

Right, but I also envisioned that they'd be in the awkward position of "hm, but Japanese women won't want a gaijin, obviously ..." and then debating whether they need to call up the "mail order bride" services.
"Table stakes" in competetive Poker means that all you can bet is what's on the table, in front of you.

So this old movie cliché where the protagonist has lost almost all his chips and needs a huge win, so he casually throws in his car keys and the title to his house in the middle of play is not allowed. Neither is grabbing your wallet and throwing cash in.

The idea is that (a) rich people cannot bully others around at will with their huge wealth "in the background" and also (b) players are protected from losing possessions extraneous to the game.

One of my favorite low key social engineering hacks is that I used to have a keylogger installed on every machine I own. Whenever a friend needs to hop on my machine to show me something, they'd log into an account they own and I would have their password.

Then I'd do the same Luigi-like low key messing with them for a while. My favorite was when a friend had a VNC server running on their machine with control capabilities. I would sit next to them and subtly jerk the mouse pointer right before they were about to click on something and it drove them mad for a good 20 minutes before I couldn't hold onto the giggles anymore.

edit: To add a bit of context, this was in the Windows 98 era, before the age of social media where we started putting all of our secrets onto our machines. And it was among a group of friends where everyone was trying to hack everyone else and pretty much anything was considered fair game. All of us were high school kids so there wasn't some super serious reputation we had to protect.
Boats aren't cheap. To buy/refurbish, repair, docking fees, fuel, etc.

I would say living in a vehicle has much more stigma, since that's something typically done out of desperation. And so people doing it voluntary(Van Dwelling, etc) typically attract that stigma(parking, dirty, etc).

Versus living on a boat which is more 'romantic' since it's not really an option or even considered.

Good article. A blockchain can only protect systems that it encodes directly. And for the simple cash transactions that's easy enough. But humans can, have, and will devise all sorts of derivative financial instruments to amplify the utility of assets, and no mathematical system can encode all the arbitrary possibilities that implies into their structure beforehand.

Instead, we're back where we started where legalities and regulations matter and the reliability of your durable ledger is limited to the transactions it actually captures.
Yes, that is a crazy amount. I live in the South, and the highest we hit is about 35kWh on extremely hot weekend days. Our typical summertime use is more like 20kWh/day -- but according to our utility, we're using about 1/2 of what a typical neighbor uses.

Based on this very scientific single-neighborhood sample, I'd guess 40-60kWh/day would not be unusual during the peak summer months.
We're using prettier on a project at work. I was reluctant, I thought that there would be lots of bugs and mangled code, but it has been wonderful.

That's not an (algorithmic) break, but a (side-channel) attack on some implementation. "Break" is precise jargon here; you're right that a particular real-world implementation of a strong algorithm may be weak, but that doesn't contradict anything dsacco said.

... but there's a semantic difference between `const` and `let`...

The least interesting component of style is syntax and form. Therefore use tooling to eliminate such concerns from your code. Javascript is a syntactic mess with ASI, braces, indentation. Linters remove such concerns.

The important components of style are preference to declarative vs. imperative code, heavy use of `class`, the `prototype` chain, or preferring function composition and purity. These are the concerns your style guide should be focused on.

Javascript, like C++, is what I call a kitchen sink language. If you use all of it your code will be a frightening mess to maintain. Choose to use a subset of the features and stick to it.

No, my point was, if you're so worried about money laundering, bitcoin should be the least of your worries. One bank laundered more in a few years than ALL of bitcoin is worth multiplied by 15.

And I doubt a significant portion of bitcoin is used for money laundering - it's mostly geeks, investors, and other early adopters holding it.

Another point was - the government generally doesn't seem to care about massive scale money laundering. I have no other explanation why nobody went to prison, and the fine was only $1.9B on $670B laundered.

Why would they do that? It's not like anyone can send them DMCA notices: the act of verifying that the upload violates your copyright already removes the file from the service. And I don't see anything in the DMCA that requires them to search for offenders, they just have to act once they become aware?
