Entangling a target in accusations of theft. One way is using the “drop” ruse, where an agent walking ahead of a target drops a wallet or bag, and when the target returns it, he is accused of stealing from it

common sense is not so common. Damore's piece is well written, thought-provoking and largely accurate. While he pointed out at differences and different inclinations, by no means he was stereotyping and lumping all females into the same group. Under-representation of women in tech is largely cultural. In some countries in the East, there are as many women in tech as there are men, while in some other (believe it or not, in Iran) women outnumber men.
same here. I prefer darkness with the monitor being the only light source. So I can concentrate.

I always adjust the monitor to the brightest. I don't understand why people tune down the brightness of the monitor in darkness. I can't see anything that way.
Ovaries! If you were a woman you probably wouldn't be in tech.
I am surprised to see so many people trust DDG. The founder Gabriel Weinberg made his fortune from the Names Database, which indexed people's information and allowed you to contact them only if you referred more people into the database (or paid).

Not the kind of person I want running my "privacy focused crypto anarchist" search engine.
The parsing is actually fine.

The issue is that they forced a buffer to overflow--they put N bytes of data into a bucket that was can only hold n bytes. The extra N-n bytes were carefully chosen so that they would do something "interesting" when they spill out of the bucket and into the program's code (there are ways of avoiding this, like the No-eXcecute bit, which I guess were ignored/turned off for this demo).

In some ways, this is easier to do with unstructured data. If there was some specific format, the overflowed data would have to fit into that format AND do something malicious.
The claim: Google (leftist corporation) blacklisting leftist sites.

The evidence: None provided.

However, every cell would need a main() function or it wouldn't do anything. Or you hold onto a main function from previous cells, perhaps overriding it, and make the notebook confusing as hell, defeating the point of notebooks

I'm writing R5RS Scheme _interpreter_ implementation in Kotlin (previously in Java):
https://github.com/kovrik/scheme-in-kotlin/

It is a hybrid of R5RS Scheme + some things from Kawa, Racket and Clojure.
It doesn't have a proper name and documentation yet.

I'm writing it as a hobby sandbox project, for learning purposes and fun.
Trying to keep it simple and easy to understand (some things are not perfect though).

Features:

- full numerical tower

- lists, vectors, maps, sets, arrays

- symbols, keywords, strings (mutable/immutable), patterns (regexes), chars

- one-shot upward continuations

- Java interop

- futures, promises, delays, boxes (atoms)

Not implemented yet:

- macros

- persistent data structures

- compiler

- bugfixes :)

PS: it is a pleasure to write it in Kotlin. Great language!
I’ve read similar complaints in stories that claimed to have talked to "influencers"
It's hard to take the article seriously since global warming accounts for 22% of the subsidies. Where did that number come from? How could it even be known?

Meanwhile, Elon Musk's subsidies are well-documented and specific.
All of my Elixir open source projects:

* Plsm - https://github.com/jhartwell/Plsm - which is an Ecto model generator based on existing schemas

* Taex - https://github.com/jhartwell/Taex - A technical Analysis library for Elixir.

I'm also in the process of writing a GDAX (https://gdax.com) Elixir library but won't open source that until it is more complete. I'm using that and Taex in a cryptocurrency algo trading platform I'm developing.

I made a wiki engine: http://moasdawiki.net/

I started working on it during my PhD as I was missing a wiki engine to organize my knowledge that run on a USB stick without installation, supports images and stores the content in simple text files for easy backup and restore.

Now I am using it every day in office for my personal notes on projects, running inside a TrueCrypt container. Meanwhile I added an Android App to sync the content on my mobile phone.

Nice, do you have any details already? Library / Language? Can't wait to see some actual efforts in open source in this space.
I built https://sslping.com/ to help monitor website TLS/SSL security and certificates. It has 300 users and checks almost 7000 servers every day for TLS problems.

It's a little like SSLlabs server test, only much faster (5 seconds instead of 2 minutes), plus the tests are recurring every day, and you receive the diff if any.

It's always been a joy to receive thank you emails from users, or adding new features for users.

SSLping also allowed me to learn React and Redux. I'm still working on it, adding new features and refactoring what I don't like.

If I ever have to stop hosting it, I'll open source the whole thing. Or maybe I'll open source it anyway. If I could find a deal with a security company, I would work on it fulltime.

I consider it's a success, even if the numbers are not as high as I'd like.
Amazing, although I am not sure I understand their business model correctly. So they are a middle man for digital storage rental and those transactions are done in Filecoins that only they can mine and distribute? So that company has >$200M in cash now or who gets that money? And the investors are in because they saw the surge of Bitcoin (and now of Filecoin)?
Wow, whoever administrated the Q&A let an analyst on the line who wasn't expecting it--and was laughing out loud at Snap's executives' answers.

Looking forward to listening to that again once the audio file gets posted.
x86 is not easily swappable by any means. From voltage supplies/rail timing, crystal requirements, different device drivers and FW rewrites, etc. Changing CPUs on a modern design is a huge reset.

I guess Google exec had to weight the pros and cons of firing him and decided it was in Google's best interest to do so.

I personally don't agree with him but I think a smart person that is not afraid to take go against the status-quo and support their opinions with arguments is always good to have around.
There is precedent: look at the funding and construction of European cathedrals. Often times the people who started on then where dead by the time they were finished
The James Webb Space Telescope, nicknamed the telescope that ate astronomy, has cost an enormous amount of money due to the need to get everything aligned absolutely perfect before launching because there will be no chance for repair.

In comparison, with adaptive optics ground based telescopes have a lot more leeway to be fixed and corrected.

(That said, if astronomical interferometry can achieve the same result as a 100Metre telescope, then let's do it that way! How is less important than making sure we have something in our pipeline within the next decade that can be capable of directly measuring the spectra of exoplanets.)
This is awesome I love Nintendo thank you!
I have actually already created a C# Gemini API wrapper[0], if you are interested. Along with a GUI for it [1]. Both are open-source.

I used my library to write an automated trading system that's running on Gemini (not open source, obviously). I like Gemini much more than it's competitors.

I used to be around 80 wpm with qwerty, now I'm 65 on dvorak, but it's much more comfortable.

It's hard to explain, but it feels satisfying to type. When I think about a word I'll sometimes think about what motions it takes to type it (on dvorak) and it just feels comfortable in my head. No regrets about the loss in typing speed.

The worst part about using dvorak is that no software is (or ever will be) designed for dvorak. Vim and emacs still work great, most shortcuts are phonetic and jk are where cv are, so I don't really mind.

I have been waiting for someone to sit down and redesign the keyboard layout for programming, and maybe this is it.

I've been typing on Programmer Dvorak[0] for 3 over years.

What do you not understand? They didn't run the business for altruism's sake. They wanted money, and they got a ton of it. It's classic FYIGM.
I've been building a keybinding Chrome extension like Vimium for about half a year now. It started when I struggled to add a feature to Vimium and figured I could do it better myself.

From my biased perspective, my extension is better. User uptake has been negligible, but I think the lessons I've learned have made it worth the time invested.

Like I said, I am not seeking agreement on the merit of his idea.

You specifically said that the suggestion of Pair Programming, was due to James thinking that women are "less capable of individual action".

But you also said "It's a technique to improve product reliability and give more practical mentorship opportunities." Which is also my understanding. I know at least one shop where everybody pair programs. It has nothing to do with programmers being inferior. I also agree that paring is more sociable since every day I will have to greet my team mate, talk about stuff, have a coffee, then get to work.

I'm just trying to understand how "Pair Programming" changes meaning so much just because some dude wrote a manifesto. We can't even have a discussion if our understanding of the same document is so wildly different.
Thanks for sharing the link, I missed that interesting discussion. I think there is a lot of material on both sides of the argument to be discussed and this post nicely ties much of that in as well.
It turns out the LD50 of Anvils is way less than a typical persons body weight when applied topically to the cranium via a 20 foot drop.

I’ve commented extensively on this before if you check my comment history but basically they need to go back to their roots. No commercial music. No copyrighted music. It should be a great place and community for indie and unsigned artists to post content and they can monetise it using paid artist accounts as they originally did (pay for more storage, better listener stats, etc). Commercial music means licensing and lawyers and paying money you can’t afford. Stay away from it. You can’t compete with Spotify et al. Maybe try to implement the tech Moxcloud used to allow DJ mixes but I wouldn’t go further than that commercially.
Why is it said that, "Google is rightly troubled by the fact that its workforce is largely male."? I can't wrap my head around what Google is guilty of in this regard. It's said, or screamed, all over the Internet that "only" 20% of Google's software engineers are women, but the statistic that never accompanies it is that less than 20% of computer science degrees each year are awarded to women. There is clearly a problem somewhere, since as others have noted this number was far higher here in the US a few decades ago and is higher today in other countries, but the problem is also clearly not Google's. I wish the press would get off their collective back about it as it has clearly made them jumpy enough and the public angry enough that people are getting fired.

Indeed. It's also reminiscent of Death's "Pale Horse" in car mode, from Piers Anthony's novel On A Pale Horse.
https://agh.io/about / TicTag is a passive time tracking tool that randomly samples your time to get a statistically accurate picture of your life. It's like RescueTime except that randomness allows it to be for everything, offline and on.

For example, this is how much time I spend reading:

https://jds.objects-us-west-1.dream.io/screenshots/2017-08-1...

This is how much time I spend riding my bike:

https://jds.objects-us-west-1.dream.io/screenshots/2017-08-1...

(How it works: every 45 minutes, on average, it'll send you a slack message. You respond with tags for what you were doing right at that moment, like "job dev" or "bike" and it compiles your responses.)
Let's assume a 100-meter telescope is 10x the cost of the proposed Thirty Meter Telescope. That means it would cost about $14 billion to build. If the U.S. and E.U. split the cost it would take about $14 for every person and child to build this. If you split the cost out to a decade, it'd be about $1.40 everyone had to pay out every year. This is a matter of priorities, not there being a lack of resources.
Looks good, but that's a really terrible name for it. Please consider changing it to something less insulting.
I fail to see the downside in going public for Snap given their IPO set up. They got 3.4 billion dollars and gave up nothing for it really.
Although decapitation by windshield is unlikely (due to their design), you don't have to be going very fast to seriously damage yourself on the windshield if you're not wearing a seat belt.

I crashed a truck once, going maybe 30-40 km/h, wearing a seat belt. I ended up with some minor bruising from the seat belt, and no other damage, but everything else in the car went flying, including the glasses off my head. If I wasn't belted up, my head would've hit the windshield or steering wheel quite hard, and I likely would've needed to go to the hospital.
Telescope names are becoming ridiculous... Very large, extremely large, what's next? Super duper large?

Sure, but most people will assume the person made the choice to pick an ICE and treat it like a disgusting habit\decision that's ruining their environment, even if many hold off judgement.
Algorithms are human judgment put into code; there's no meaningful difference. I am all in favor of a neutral arbiter for search engines; one doesn't exist, though, so, there you go. It all comes back to people eventually.

There is a hierarchy of threats to deal with. The information war being directed at everyday citizens to empower real scary dudes is being carried on the back of willful and knowing disinformation campaigns from both non-state and (external) state actors, in the U.S. and elsewhere. The defenses we have are limited, and while I agree with you that it very well may be problematic down the line: if that means I'm in a foxhole with Google, I can live with that for now and work to fight that threat later.
Yeah, hence the classic joke "Did you hear they discovered a habitable planet harboring intelligent life orbiting the closest star to Earth?"

I don't believe faster internet is the top priority of most American ISPs. This is the quality of a monopoly- the focus on maximizing profits. It's not that having faster internet is bad for them as much as it's a waste of time and money compared to simply milking their existing monopoly.

And make no mistake, ISPs are a monopoly. Due to 1) the inherent difficulty of building a broadband network 2) a hellish patchwork of local regulations and government-granted exclusivity deals, ISPs function in a state of basic monopoly.

Densely populated areas can have multiple options for high-speed internet, but the market is not bursting with competition.

If you don't have to compete, what's the point of building out faster internet? Why spend more on investment without competition? Why not just focus on making as much money as possible off previous investments?
While it works on Chromium it does not seem to work in xpdf, pdf.js nor any other pdf viewer that I tried. It seems that JS, flash, etc inside pdfs are proprietary, useless, and potentially dangerous adobe-only extensions that nobody else implements and nobody uses. It's just that Chromium happened to have a JS engine so they decided to let JS inside pdfs to be executed with a very constrained API (which can't do anything malicious probably - unless a bug is found in its JS engine).

My point still stands: I do not expect a pdf document to be able to do anything like the djsumdog's link and neither do most people. If a pdf document was able to do anything like that I would consider that viewer as broken.

> The average JavaScript developer doesn't know how to extract JavaScript from a PDF.

They could learn with a few google searches.

I'm not sure if Dvorak is really faster, but I do think it keeps your fingers on the home row more. At this point the main reason I prefer Dvorak is that it lets me have more modifier keys on the left side of the keyboard (without moving to the number row).
Things that climate change discussions rarely talk about:

1. We have a climate that is greatly affected by the sun. The sun varies in the amount of light we get from it.

We have truly, absolutely zero ability to modify anything about the sun.

We couldn't even place a probe or device within 10,000 miles of the surface of the sun, if our survival depended on it.

2. Even if the USA cuts their emissions in half tomorrow, with China and India increasing their use of autos and other emissions producing devices, would that be enough? And how exactly is it that USA spends more on reducing emissions while others spend zero? How much of a hit to the economy does this entail, for essentially zero world wide benefit?

How many remember Canada's 180 degree turnaround a few years ago, when they realized that conforming to the Kyoto protocol meant a 10% GDP hit?
I don't think it'll be that simple. There will be plenty of people who hold on to ICEs for no good reason but habit. When prompted they will say head-scratching things like 'I like the way it sounds' or 'it's safer from hacking' or 'God put dead algae in the ground billions of years ago for a reason'.
I created this system which I've mentioned before (AGPL):

http://onemodel.org

...because it tracks all my thoughts, plans, & resulting to-dos, and I mark them off when done ("archived") in a few keystrokes. Then there is a simple feature for displaying the ~"journal" for a date range which defaults to starting yesterday at midnight: everything created or archived in that time is shown, so I've basically stopped keeping track in any other way, of what I have done, as I can always look it up.

I used to use org-mode, "inspiration" (an old windows program for collapsible outlines and mind maps), and various text editors, but this is the most efficient and flexible I have found. In my use, it is like a textual, ever-expanding comprehensive mind map that is highly efficient to use from the keyboard, uses postgresql, and can handle large amounts of data, having the same thing linked in more than one place, etc etc, so you can organize all possible stuff in arbitrary ways to suit yourself: I tend to use a few hierarchies and some frequent categories go in multiple places, for convenience. I use it to keep lists of gift ideas, calendar, personal journal, and it just gets the job done with the lowest impedance of anything i have tried or heard of. It has an auto "journal-generation" feature, some finicky import/export features to html or to/from text, searching, somewhat limited file storage, and more.

It has no mouse or mobile support yet, but it is the best thing I've found for any kind of note-taking (I'm the author). It needs simpler installation and added features but is stable and works really well, really efficient once you get familiar, and everything is on the screen. I hope to add anki-like features in the future. Contributions welcome. I'm told it needs an introductory screencast, which I plan to put up eventually, but for now there is a tutorial at the web site, on which feedback is welcome.

The latest code is in github, where I am working (very slowly) on an infrastructure for linking or exchanging info between instances.
I'd love to see a tool like this for comparing Internal Combustion Engines to Battery Electric Vehicles.

By some previous calculations of mine, it looked like BEVs had 10k miles worth of CO2 baked into the batteries, but I honestly have no idea if that is correct or not.

I was riding in the middle on the front bench seat of an old 70's car with no seatbelt on the highway a while ago (only other option was walking 50 km back home).

I have no idea how people used to think that it was at all safe, I was very aware that if the car crashed I was going to be ejected out the window, even in a low speed crash.
I'm curious if they generate enough energy that they could do autonomous station keeping with thrusters in the base.

What is hard to appreciate is the scale of these things, they are like 50% larger than the largest land based wind turbine. That is pretty amazingly huge. And I'm not sure how you do maintenance on one but they do look pretty amazing.
Awesome. Let me know what you think after you play with it. I'm totally open to making changes.

I wouldn't call it a scam. You need a certain level of expertise anyway, otherwise you not only screw up your service, but also, in the case of AWS, lose money. Practically speaking, the amount of work needed to set up a blog on S3 with CloudFlare is not that different from the one needed to deploy, say, a WordPress droplet on DigitalOcean. You just click a few times and it works, you can basically forget it. The only difference is that you are guaranteed not to pay more than $5 or whatever your monthly plan is.

Of course scalability is incomparable in both cases, so if it's something that really matters - and matters more than money - of course something like AWS is a better choice.
