Not problem! In my first programming class years ago, I made an assignment about probability with colored cards; one of my students told me he had to cheat because he was colorblind and since then I've done my best to think about those aspects.

Plus a good friend of mine has written numerous books on educational materials for deaf child, so whenever I talk about CS education, she reminds me to keep these types of disabilities in mind whenever I design new material

> I think your idea about providing colored examples is good and have heard it from a few people now so that's definitely worth looking into

It's something I don't think we have a lot of in CS education currently; a current platform I'm building is solely to provide almost a dozen types of exercises (fill in the blank, explain the code, hell even typing exercises) to give students the practice (I feel) they miss out on.

Coming from a martial art background, any technique we learn, we get to drill more than once and we aren't expected to beat MMA fighters after 1 lesson. I view the brain like any other muscle, in that with practice, you get better. My job as an instructor is to make sure you stay motivated and don't learn the wrong way.
Oh yes, forgot to list that, but I use it. The only feature I would like to see in Google Flights is to archive the tracked flights. As of now, all tracked flights appear in that section, 20 as of mine, I do not want to lose historical data on routes of my interest.
How can houses cost $50,000 in those two Texas counties? Don't builders cost far more than that? If the cost of rebuilding is far more than the purchase price, then insurance and maintenance will be expensive - how will you afford a $10,000 new roof if you could only just afford the $50,000 house? Maybe America really has wide salary gaps for the same jobs in different places?
I bought a license for this after having a series of problems with the Google Drive app, which was quite buggy and unreliable on syncing. Problems went away as soon as I switched to InSync, and it has been rocksolid for over a year and a half. It's definitely worth the cost of the license.
Go to hell Equifax, whoever is in charge of security there should be put into custody before all the litigation.

Multiple steps must be taken for nowadays people to get credit card and debit card or whatever(loans, money transfer,...). Use SSN, name, mother maid name, a few security questions, two-step authentication by default, all passwords must be hashed and salted otherwise it is a crime for the DBA,etc.

Just switched away from 15+-year-yahoo-email after its leakage, now it comes Equifax, which is 1000x more critical, it is so bad.
Snackis: post-modern communication
I emailed the Equifax hackers and they replied
Has anything resembling that ever been implemented on a wide scale?
I agree, and it seems like many people share our feelings, which makes sense when you look at how the most desirable cities according to our views are getting more and more expensive. Of course there aren't many of these cities in the US.

The solution I'd love to see is giving these cities more competition. Let's try to revitalize old cities like Baltimore and Cleveland to give people more affordable options. I've heard Pittsburg is having some success with this kind of thing.
This kind of thing actually can be prevented.
There should be a law to force to sacrifice some convenience for safety.

Well, it is convenient to access everything by Internet.
But it is a double sword

Simple but not too simple!!
You're correct, nobody is claiming that. I simply pointed out that "free speech" and saying whatever the hell you want are two different things. One is protected by law. One is not, and if I held an opinion you found morally wrong or vice versa, the other is not beholden to hear it, nor to serve the opinion holder if either party is a business. And I don't think that's bad.

Sure society may have prevailing moral standards, but the thing about having an opinion (which I think I'm proving with this comment) is we all, myself included, have forgotten that means we don't have to share it.
> When I use vim macros I find I either have to redo my macro multiple times if I screw up, or spend a bunch of time thinking about how to correctly generalize my commands while writing the macro.

In Vim you can put the contents of a macro into a buffer, modify it like a file, then replace the macro with the modified one.
Unfortunately ~nobody does. The effectiveness of red teams was one of the most surprising aspects of working in security. The most common way to break into someplace was to pose as a construction worker: http://i.imgur.com/ZjnGmZ5.png

If you're dressed as one of them, you can go wherever you want and people rarely ask questions. Another approach is to pose as an interviewee. That's how you get into the building, but beyond that you never actually talk to anyone so nobody is suspicious. People generally don't care when someone is walking around the halls dressed up in a suit.

One of my coworkers was involved in dozens of red teams and he got caught a grand total of one time. Every other time he was able to acquire an IP address, take a picture of himself sitting in the exec's chair, swipe a file out of the server room, or whatever the customer wanted.

The author's entire rant is based on the premise of one's income and one's spending are fair game for casual conversation.

The truth of the matter is that it simply isn't their business to know, nor is it of those employed by the people she discusses.
I would expect most attempts to do this as a get-rich scheme would either fail outright or not become the kind of place people would want to live. If done as more of a crowd-sourced community-driven non-profit project, at least you have everyone's interests more-or-less aligned and some basis of trust.

I despise the existence of the credit reporting bureaus and would love to see one of them caught with their pants down for a breach that was entirely preventable (well, at least through the vector that was used). If they failed to patch a known vulnerability, and that caused the breach, likely they'll be on the hook for a larger payout once settlement time comes.
Can you expand on this at all? I've looked at it as a replacement and I understand there are things like prop-types that are missing, but my understanding is that there are other libraries you can can use in addition to preact that give you 100% compatibility.

It's entirely possible that no new housing has been built in those areas for decades... and yeah, labor's cheap, but if there's no work in the area, that $10,000 roof is going to cost a lot less.

Possibly relevant experience: my daughter attended college in a very small town in rural Tennessee. We were there to drop her off, and overheard a painter talking to the owner of the hotel about doing painting some of the hotel.

Alas, not yet, no. (But that alone isn't a good reason not to try.)

You are describing legal tender, a positivist concept. Real money need not be propped up with such measures.

This is not true at all. A microwave can be built by the knowledge and skills of a single man.

Additionally you are not thinking holistically. Take your computer: a device that needs the manpower of thousands to create. Such a device is only as cheap as it is because of mass production on an automated factory line. The true value thus cannot be measured by an individual computer but by the intrinsic value of the technology as a whole. This is hard to measure. I chose a 747 because 747s are not produced on a robotic factory line. They are built by machinists, so each plane is a more accurate measure of a products' true value.

I am saying that in a capitalist economy. The majority of transactions are unfair. The lower class gets screwed perpetually. This is a fact of life.

can you recommend any books that introduce the concept well?
I've dropped this comment elsewhere here today, already, but:

All the more reason to enable people to signal their wealth (sexual fitness) and raise taxes at the same time - by repurposing "Sumptuary Laws." For example: If you want a car that's white, yellow or blue, no extra tax. If you want a red car that's a significant tax. If you want a purple car, that's a really big tax. Note that, with Sumptuary Taxes, you don’t have to be wasteful or conspicuously consume, or pour a large amount of carbon into the atmosphere in order to signal your wealth - the red paint and purple paint don’t cost much more than blue or grey. So this is also a very green proposal.

With Sumptuary Taxes you can show people you're rich and they're not and help the commonweal at the same time: showing that you're one of the responsible, caring rich.

(Sumptuary – related to the word sumptuous, of course.)

Sumtuary Laws were tried in England in the Fourteenth Century, but for almost the reverse purpose – merely to prevent poor people from wearing clothes that resembled the clothes rich people wore. This didn’t raise any revenue and was intended to save rich people money while increasing social barriers. The laws weren’t very successful and they didn’t last long.

Can you put a number on that? It's anecdata but I feel like watching my friends request Ubers it's like 10% of requests. It's even worse at the airport. Adding extra padding time to account for failed requests is a fairly regular use pattern.
> Why couldn't they have just used the same name, and upgrade the software?

Because they had an online service/web app (Drive), a mobile app (also called Drive) and a desktop app (also called Drive) which were related but all had different features, and now the web and mobile apps keep the name, but they have an organizational desktop app (File Stream) and a personal desktop app (Backup and Sync) that are distinct. Sure, one or both of the two desktop apps could have kept the Drive name, but that actually would have been more confused.

If the card outputs "yes" or "no" you are creating new security incidents just waiting to happen - proxying, oracular attacks, faux cards that respond improperly to the binary question, etc. This means that your system is actually two factor, a pin and biometrics. A pin is extremely weak, and for sure biometrics need to be designed and implemented properly.

Also, notice the other subtle dependency that was introduced with the PIN only kept on the card - the PIN might as well not exist.

This is all known. The issue isn't how to design a security system. The issue is the fly by the seat of the pants lack of security with deadline driven products. Those products only appear to implement a feature set and really don't work, just appearing to work in order to achieve the release exit criteria of a minimum viable product. This gets compounded by products hardly ever revisiting their earlier phases, choosing in this case to add new web features instead of hiring a security team.

This entire thread is a great example of how many if not most Canadians will passionately defend any old goofy policy, as long as it's different from how the Americans do it.

I've lived in a variety of American states as well as Ontario and I really can't believe what I'm reading - anyone defending the selection, knowledge of the staff, price, hours, pretty much anything relating to the LCBO vs. a privatized but regulated market is a few Timbits short of a Snack Pack. I suspect the very same will be true with The Weed Store once it rolls out - way better than prohibition, but much worse than Colorado or Oregon or Washington.

Vs NYC there's also Tahoe, the ocean is surfable, there are beaches, it doesn't smell like trash everywhere, the climate is less extreme (less hot humid in the summer no snow), more access to fresh local produce more of the year, etc etc. It's not like rent in Manhattan is cheap, and you'd likely make less in NYC vs SF unless you work in finance.

And then again countries like Australia have this problem and some very strict laws.

I think the reality is that this is way more about national identity than it is the laws. As we have seen with legalization in Canada, the laws don't mean much anyway.

It's perhaps a moot point. Canonical have been distributing OpenZFS binaries for going on two years even though the FSF and the SFLC believe them to be in violation of the GPL.

Angry blog posts doesn't cut it. The nature of law and precedent is that unless the FSF or SFLC sue Canonical Ltd. soonish for their distribution of OpenZFS Linux modules, their assertion that the GPL doesn't generally apply to kernel modules will become legal precedent by default.

Now, I know the SFLC say that litigation is a last resort. But, it's been 18 months since the last Frank Exchange of Views happened over ZFS and the mutual incompatibility of the GPL and CDDL, and no observable legal movement by either side has happened.

Does that mean the FSF/SLFC are frightened that Canonical Ltd.s' legal interpretation would prevail should it ever come to court, or is there another reason the self-professed guardians of software freedom are allowing Canonical to, according to them, wilfully violate the terms of the GPL?
Also, you could easily imagine doing this to a part of the block that's up on a hill - Seattle and SF have a lot of areas like this. It would make piping existing traffic into and out of those transit sections easy.
The true point of imagining the login.gov will become the defacto standard for Oauth is the same reason why Tinder was Facebook login only. It's more secure and easier for people to use when they only have one login. The consolidation of most internet logins to login.gov gives the US government more power that it shouldn't have. All you need to do is look at Google. It's not necessarily an everyday appearance, but Twitter is full of accounts of Google revoking access to accounts with no warning, and no effective or efficient way to appeal.

Ask HN: Are three servers better than one?
After running into some issues trying to setup a server on DigitalOcean with everything I needed to run my web apps I decided to set one up as a web file server, another as an email server, and a third one as a CouchDB server.

On the down side I now have 3 servers to manage, and I suppose 3 times the probability that one might go down. And users have to configure their web browser to "Allow 3rd Party Cookies" to run my apps.

But, it seems to me this approach may have some advantages too. It minimizes the chances for creating conflicts with dependencies when updating/upgrading. It delegates and spreads the loads for those chores. If one server goes down it doesn't take everything else down with it. And, each of these servers can be scaled to the size needed to handle the load it carries.

So far I've not convinced myself it's worth the effort to build a single box that does all of that. I suspect it can be done, but I'm also not sure it's a good idea to go that route. So far what I've got seems to be working pretty good and that old adage, "If it ain't broke don't fix it", comes to mind.

But there's a lot I don't know so if I'm missing some things (and I expect I am) I'd be grateful to have them pointed out to me.

Ideally a business should be able to sell whatever it wants to whomever it wants. I'd argue that some US states that have legalized it are worse off than when it was illegal. The regulation and taxation is ridiculous, and when it's legalized, it's much less likely to be taken off the books entirely. It's sad to call all the rules and regulations around growing, distributing, and consuming a plant a 'win'.
