You need to fetch the value to use as hint from the input somewhere.

Doing a typo of writing passwordInput instead of passwordHintInput is not that unlikely, even though it is unfortunate.
So basically if you set a hint your entire disk encryption became useless because the hint storage gave your password away?

Yikes, hope no one was relying on that.

I've yet to get PyPy to work well with uwsgi, but I haven't tried it with the past 3-4 releases. However, since uwsgi embeds the runtime in its worker processes, that is sort of expected.

I would guess that the bug was in the front-end code for the password form. At that point the code obviously has access to the plain text password. I’m imagining a copy-paste bug like this:

I ran into someone on the street who I haven't seen since high school (almost 10 years ago). She knew from Facebook that I had recently had a child. I don't use Facebook, but my wife does. The thing is that this old acquaintance doesn't follow my wife on fb.

Facebook is still profiling me. Its weird.
I don't disagree with any of your points. Another angle to consider is that is more of a marketing ploy to attract "customers". The net cost of it is easily offset by their tuition increases.

> If so, then blockchain technology could get rid of Uber, Netflix, and every flight-insurance provider on the market.

No, it can't. The hard part of Uber isn't the app and the architecture that gets cars to meet together, it's pulling all the shady under-belly moves to avoid taxi regulation or lobby it in your favor, all while being profitable. I've seen quite a few "how I made an Uber clone in a day" posts on here. The tech is boring and simple, the business model and empire is what's important.

Similarly, there were dozens of streaming sites before Netflix and Spotify, but they never took off. Talking with media companies, getting licenses, negotiating royalties, hell, even funding your own productions to attract talent, that's the hard part. Blockchain tech doesn't solve this, it just replaces the MySQL in their complex tech stack.

Sure, these companies can replace their database with blockchain, but that won't stop "middle men" like Netflix from existing, it just... changes their tech stack.

I just wish they had made APFS optional for SSDs (as it is if you install to spinning media). It seems like 99% of the problems I'm seeing reported for High Sierra are due to the filesystem (or apps using a brittle, hand-rolled method of disk access).
Alacritty is extremely fast, but you need to use a terminal multiplexer like tmux or screen if you want commonly used features like tabs or scrolling.

Honestly, Anandtech's linked "Best X" articles are one of the best resources for this on the web.

Compare their "Best CPUs for Workstations" and "Best CPUs for Gaming" articles, and choose a platform. Probably going to be Ryzen 7 vs. X299, and you'll probably get at least one more CPU upgrade from either of these motherboards.

Get an NVMe Samsung 960 Evo or Pro because fast storage is super important and these are currently blowing everything else out of the water. Get enough RAM for now, and leave a slot or two free for when the prices for DDR4 drop.

Pick your graphics card from the spectrum, or honestly, just keep using whatever you have right now because cryptocurrency is currently severely distorting the market and limiting availability. I don't see a "Best graphics card" summary article right now, but I think this chart is somewhat current:

AMD Price NVIDIA
RX Vega 64 $500 GeForce GTX 1080
$450 GeForce GTX 1070
RX Vega 56 $400
RX 580 (8GB) $300 GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB)
RX 580 (4GB) $200
RX 570 $170/$180 GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
$130 GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
RX 460 $100/$105 GeForce GTX 1050

The most important thing to understand is that getting the exact ideal processor doesn't really matter. The difference between competing processors will only be discernible with a stopwatch and carefully controlled tests.
I share your disappointment with the resolution. 1920x1080 is at the low end of acceptability. I'm at 2560x1440 on the Carbon X1 and I won't go back.

I never understood your side of the Ctrl / Fn placement argument though. Why would you want the left side Ctrl key to be further from center than the right side Ctrl key? And why would you want a more rarely used key (Fn) to be closer to center?

Where will the data live? If it's outside my servers I can't use it.

How will it decide what's important? We have so many things that automated systems have declared unimportant and yet which turn out to be critical.

Currently commercial spam systems are running at around a 10% false positive rate. Quite simply, we can't rely on them. Why would your system be any different about deciding what's important and what isn't? Critical information is often not recognised as such until significantly after the fact, and very well may be in a throw-away comment.

So we have a system that crawls our email archives, chat logs, and other data sources, and uses an automated word2vec-like and tf–idf system to find similarities. Then we have a browser that makes the database look like a wiki - you just click on links till you find what you want, usually just one or two clicks away.

But I have no idea what you're building. The description is of something magical that will solve all your problems, but it doesn't say anything about what it actually does. The web site is slick, but it makes it look like you have something ready to go. Then the rug is pulled out from under me and it's clear that while you might have something in development, you don't have a product.

Why not be honest? Say up front you're working on this and offer decent inducements to get quality feedback on people's concerns, what they use, what their current system gets right, their pain-points, and what they'd like to be able to do but currently can't.

This may be unjust, but the site feels dishonest. I know it's the current trend popularised by some book or other to pretend to have a product and see how many bites you get in order to gauge your potential market, but it puts me completely off. I now don't feel like I can trust you.

To address your actual questions:

Would I use it? No idea - you haven't told me why I would. What features would be valuable? No idea, I don't know what it might be able to do.

What do I want? A machine into which I type a vague query, it asks for clarifications, then gives me a definitive answer, or a definitive "That's not in my records."

So there you are, 400 words, 10 minutes of my time. Even though I feel cheated by your web site I hope you find that useful, and wish you the best of luck.
Please report the next time round, that really shouldn't be the case. Thanks!
My personal experience has been that the live coding aspect makes a huge difference to my development speed. A while ago I was going through Project Euler in less-mainstream languages, just as a warm-up/distraction from work. I would do one problem at a time and then go back to work. One day I switched from Object Pascal (with Lazarus) to Pharo. I completed the problem (which I hadn't attempted before, so no prior knowledge) so quickly, that I proceeded to complete five problems in the time it usually took me to do one. Because everything was so immediate, it was really easy to maintain a flow state. I had to force myself to stop and get back to work.

The object inspector is really nice, also being able to redefine methods in the debugger and continue the current computation is super cool. Beats poring over Java stack traces.

As I understand it, the situation is even better (as in, less errors) than that with DDR4. Unfortunately, all the published data I could find is woefully out of date. Still, even if you generously assume something on the order of one correctable memory error per machine year, how many of those errors do you actually care about? Unless you have 100% memory utilization for 24/7 critical tasks, most of those errors probably don't even matter.

EDIT: the least out of date reference I could find is a blog post by Jeff Atwood, where he concludes that based on the available literature ECC-correctable errors are quite rare. [1]

Whether you like it or not segmentation allows lowering the price even further on the low end. That can be argued as an advantage to people on the lower end market so they can get something instead of nothing.

You enable ECC in everything and now that just raises the base price (lowers it for the upmarket segment).

Finally I really hope you are just talking about ECC controllers. Like actual ECC requires extra memory and that isn’t cheap at all! It’s not just flipping a switch. In a phone or something it hardly matters if some controller silicon supports ECC. The cost is going to be much greater than just 1-2% more

Edit: yeah rereading your comment. It doesn’t seem you’re familiar with ECC memory. It’s not just some extra circuitry it actually involves redundancy, so the cost difference is way more than tiny.
The comment "Welcome to the club. I did this years ago." in isolation contributes nothing to the conversation. If you had posted it I probably would've downvoted it for that reason, not for the smugness.

Ask HN: Do you recomment mercurial hg with subrepos, what's best practice?
I have a project with many sub tasks, each has large size test data, so cloning or branching entire repo is a big waste of disk space, so I decided to convert hg repo into smaller repos for each task (using hg convert extension), so I can branch it, experiment with code, then merge back without affecting the entire repo

so, I could either manage those sub-repos manually, or use use subrepo extension.

anyone with good or bad experience using subrepo extension, does it save time over doing the managing myself of subrepos

I disagree. If society always let people get away with their crimes, criminals would gain an evolutionary upper hand and soon crime and distrust would become the norm. Criminals would be popping out children and altruistic people would be picking up the bill.

Also I think that our current system lets white collar criminals off too easily; they should be punished more severely.

This type of evolution is especially dangerous in a modern context because technology and globalization have taken the humanity out of our daily interactions and have therefore reduced the importance of altruism.
You should have installed apt-utils, which would have resolved the dependencies. Also, basing your image off ubuntu:16.04 would work a lot better, because that's the actual target.

The problem with the laws proposed is that they do nothing about the 300 million firearms that are already out there. We're simply supposed to trust the of all of those firearms as though new purchasers are the main threat.

How is it moral to deny a person access to firearms while they have to live among others who are heavily armed? You'd be creating a privileged class of firearms owners and hereditary firearms dynasties.

Personally, I cannot support any gun control law that does not include outlawing and confiscating existing firearms.

What about just importing the css file from your component file?

For example, in MyComponent.js, you have:

import './MyComponent.css';

const MyComponent = () => (
<div className="my-class">I'm a component!</div>
);

and in MyComponent.css,

.my-class {
color: red;
}

To handle proper scoping, you could use something like css-modules or wrap each component in a top-level <div> with a component-specific class name. For example:

const MyComponent = () => (
<div className="MyComponent">
<div className="content">
I'm a component
</div>
</div>
);

and then

.MyComponent.content {
color: red;
}

If you use a preprocessor like sass, you can just nest your entire component-specific styles like this:

.MyComponent
.content
color: red
.footer
color: blue

As others have pointed out, the password was apparently written in plain text on the disk. So yes, I think a complete erase is warranted.
The performance penalties I'm referring to are memory performance penalties. If your workload isn't memory-bound (and most aren't), you'll measure a difference of 2% or less, sure, but that's not really relevant when talking about memory performance. In extreme cases (such as, for instance, lattice Boltzmann simulations, where the streaming step is completely memory bound) I've seen over 50% performance degradation, but much of it can be attributed to the notoriously loose timings on most ECC DRAM.
This almost certainly would have been more competitive with a i7-7560U instead of a i7-7500U (the former has 2x the graphics execution units and 64MB eDRAM). Same TDP.
