Nice! I'm glad you posted.

I forked spielbash in order to add an option that lets it read `cloud-init`[1] YAML as input, and also noticed there were opportunities to improve the original. Will see if I can jump over to your fork.

love the smell, can't stand the taste, tried it three times in my life (espresso, cappuccino, in a tiramisu) and could not finish any of them, it's probably the only food item that I have such a huge disconnect between the smell/taste, as other items I hate and never have (say, alcohol) I also cannot stand from a smell perspective...

Show HN: The First Version of Anything Is an MVP
When I read this article my first thought was cool, great to see women in tech. Than my first question was what is their ratio of women to men in their application process and how does it compare to the industry ratio?

I suspect that because of the nature of their business less men apply compared to woman in relation to the industry average. As a person I apply to companies I am interested in and would not see myself applying to work at Sephora currently. I would see myself applying to mlb.tv for example since I like baseball.

edit: s/ration/ratio/
Equal opportunity is reflective of the applicant pool given, which can kick the problem down to lower levels. The problem with women in tech is that seeing strong female role models will change the lower levels and society's conceptions, but it seems the only way to change those conceptions is to have them there in the first place.

There's plenty of people focused on early education, but I don't know if we're going to see those results for even as much as a decade, and the cultural problems in high school and college are still there too, even if we solve early education. This type of hiring is a positive step, not a perfect one.

All that said, it appears this tech team is not apples to apples with the roles of big SV firms it's being compared to, and I fully agree with other posters that other factors (such as the brand itself) are at play here. There are positive lessons to learn here still.

These types of policies are similar to affirmative action - they are trying to correct a problem at the symptom, not the source. While correcting the source is more important, and I understand why you have the objection to correcting the symptom, I think the effect is far more positive than negative. I don't expect you to be convinced by this or agree, but I think it's important to have the understanding behind why the policy is not applied uniformly, agreement or not. I think your categorization of "virtue signaling" is inaccurate here.
I don't know how I first got to this quote, but I like it:

(...) Users don't love your software. They tolerate it. And they
will abandon it when they find something that's just 1% better than what
you offer, or you do something that makes your software 1% worse than
your competition. (...)

I think you might be confusing 2 different ideas. An ORM is an Object Relational Mapper. Lots of companies build very big software without using an ORM. And the very concept of an ORM becomes meaningless if you use a language that rejects Object Oriented Programming. For instance, when using Clojure, some teams use Korma:

http://sqlkorma.com/

Korma is a DSL. And I think you are confusing the concepts of ORM and DSL. I'd agree that most teams, over time, tend to develop (or borrow) their own DSLs for interacting with the database. And I've seen teams that use the term DSL loosely to refer to any code they write to interact with the database, so long as they are doing more than concatenating strings of SQL. But they don't necessarily use ORMs.

There is nothing in GMO technology that prevents making an unsafe or environmentally unfriendly GMO food.

It's just a tool, one that gives food makers power to produce a wider variety of new foods more rapidly than they could with non-GMO techniques. Whether they use it to produce safe foods or dangerous foods is up to each food maker.
Currently working in a Wordpress shop. I feel your pain. Because the client might want to blog in the future, so we build everything in Wordpress with this one theme based in ZURB Foundation developed by one guy that incorporates its own build system in Gulp for Sass that breaks the Wordpress theme engine if you don't have the files in the right places.

Privoxy was based on Internet Junkbuster[1], whose last public release (1998) was a year before the first release of Proxomitron (1999).

The protocol scales linearly with respect to the number of participants, but as you can tell, each participant needs to do a lot of time-consuming computations.

Each participant needs to maintain custody of the hardware during the process of the ceremony, and then destroy the hardware afterward. If it was your turn, you'd do some stuff for an hour, and then it's the next person's turn in a round-robin circle. You had to wait maybe ~8 hours before it was your turn again. The protocol involved three rounds of this.

Nobody can abort (players commit to their moves in advance to defend against adaptive attacks) and so there needs to be a time when all N participants are available for the entire duration of the ceremony. This makes it very sensitive to scheduling problems.

If you want to do your own MPC, you also need to perform very expensive fast-fourier transforms in between round 1 and 2. In our ceremony that required a very beefy 128-core server and it still took over an hour.

I actually just found a log file from the ceremony's coordinator server (not a privileged server, just handles messages and archives them) which shows the timings of everything, which is kind of fun:

Valuable comment - because both sides of the spectrum miss something in there. It cost the democrats the election not to understand that these people wanted jobs, not welfare, and the reason they won't get jobs is that they won't go where the jobs are.

Somewhat related, I wonder why the PC gaming ecosystem has always focused on the extreme high end for everyone. I very rarely see anyone trying to get into PC gaming considering a very reasonable $600 budget that would in real world performance get them 90% of the way to a system twice as expensive.

Back in, say, 2008 the diminishing returns threshold was much higher. But builders have never adapted to how good cheap parts are - games are being designed for the average hardware, and nowadays that is extremely old relative to how it would have been ten years ago.

The real winners of Coffee Lake and Ryzen for me are the 8100 and 1200. Quad cores with, respectively, high frequencies or an unlocked multiplayer on almost all motherboards that come in under $120. These chips beat the pants off an i5 2500k and until this year that kind of performance was barely trickling down when suddenly it just windfalled as soon as AMD was competitive again.

Same way the winners in the GPU market are either the 1060 or 580. At least before the mining boom, they were both available under $200 and delivered performance comparable to $500+ cards three years ago.

The real advent of recent years has not been pushing the envelope in terms of tech - even the most ludicrous builds still cannot handle 4k and VR is still in its infancy - it has been in driving the cost of admission to great looking 3d games at 1080p down to a fraction what it was five years ago.

I'm not sure what it will take to break that 4k barrier. Maybe once we are near a mature 5nm node we will be able to stuff enough transistors onto a die to push that many pixels. But until then we should appreciate how affordable PC gaming is becoming for anyone just getting into it. At least when GPU prices come back down to Earth...

Privoxy was an offshoot from IJB, the Internet Junkbuster which I guess started around 1996.

If interested in reading about the aversion to web ads and concern over privacy in the 1990's and early 2000's, check out IJB's old website. It is loaded with information. The IJB code is still around in at least a few places. While I prefer local DNS and local SSL-enabled proxies to filter ads, believe it or not ijb, as old as it is, still compiles and runs.

To quickly get the list of urls from archive.org, something like:

curl -o ijb.urls https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=www.junkbuster.org\&fl=timestamp,original

exec sed '
/^[12][0-9]* h/!d;

I think the evolutionary path connecting WPF and "this WinRT stuff" is extremely clear and if you've built WPF you can build UWP.

Virtue ethics, deontological ethics and consequentialism can ultimately be shown equivalent, like three imaginary computers shown to be turing-equivalent. Here's a really rough sketch: (the idea being that you can take any theory of ethics in one group and write it in the language of any other)

To implement virtue in duty: "You have a duty to act the actions of a virtuous person."
To implement consequentialism in duty: "You have a duty to make a best-effort estimation of the outcomes, and choose the best."

To implement duty in virtue: "A virtuous person is one who knows these rules and lives by them."
To implement consequentialism in virtue: "A virtuous person is one who always evaluates the possible outcomes, and chooses the best."

To implement duty in consequentialism: "Define 'good outcome' such that any good outcome is one where all of these rules were followed."
To implement virtue in consequentialism: "The only truly valuable thing is personal virtue. Therefore, a 'good outcome' is one where you gain as much virtue-trait-stuff as possible."

> If the journal or conference is double blind, they will never even know about your credentials.

That is not necessarily true. The style sheet for the journal may require the author to specify his/her institutional affiliation right under his/her name. Then, before the paper goes to a referee in a double-blind peer review process, it is first examined by the editor or editorial board who decide if it is even a good match for that journal. If the journal staff have had a problem with crank submissions or even just a vague fear of cranks, they may simply decline to handle a paper without a clear institutional source.

I left academia for an outside career but I still publish a paper in my field from time to time. However, I have heard through the grapevine that my submissions are welcome purely because everyone knows I used to be affiliated with one respected university department. Without that established reputation, my papers might have been refused straight away.
> Rarely do we consider how one query or a series of queries could interact to slow down the whole site.

That doesn't seem right to me. It's almost always something to consider when designing the data model. Maybe I'm being uncharitable, but this seems to me to be equivalent to claiming we rarely consider the use of an algorithm or interactions between algorithms and data structures when writing some code. I mean, for toys that's fine, but I wouldn't defer this discussion for something I intended for public use.
'have drank coffee every.single.day since about 2000. I'll have 2 in the morning - 1 generic maxwell house or folgers and the 2nd a breakfast blend or something else for a little variety. At home, just using a re-usable K-Cup in a Keurig.

If I need to get out of the house a bit, I'll go work at a Starbucks and have a tall there - never more then a tall as I won't sleep well. Or - wherever. Tim Hortons is fine. Panera's is fine. Spent 3 days at the local convention center last week; their coffee was fine. I'm really not picky.

So, minimum 2, max 4 or 5 a day. Always black. I don't love the taste but I do like Starbucks the most. But I don't hate the taste either. I used to use a ton of sugar and milk - that ended about a decade ago now.

>They hire women without the regular qualifications and are willing to train them on the job, which is refreshing to see. It's a shame they only apply it to female candidates though.

Starcraft strategy has a lot more weird nuance to it.

I noticed this building in this position at this time and I haven't been attacked by X unit yet, so he's probably doing strategy Y. I better skip some unrelated building I was going to make, so I can have an extra unit Z in case he's doing that strategy. Then I'll place the units at a particular spot to try to trap him because that unit will be vulnerable in this other spot so he's unlikely to move through that spot.

Thanks for the kind words and feedback.

The approach has an economy of scale where a shared pool can secure many sites' hashes at very low cost to individual sites, but where the sum-total can fund a very large data pool. I would love to grow this to 1PB and beyond. The idea behind the patent is to give us a chance to try to grow exactly that service.

Fundamentally the technique is quite simple and easy to copy, yet IMO it is better than computational/iterative hashing in every way -- cost, performance, scalability, and security. It seemed to me a perfect example of something worth patenting. If we're ultimately not successful in commercializing it, I would want to relinquish the patent to the public domain.

The most important part -- and what's kept me working at this for years now -- is that it protects even weak passwords after a company is breached. It takes the onus (and a lot of the blame) off the end user, and solves the usability problem with passwords.

By the way, the same technique works equally well for adding BlindHash to your KDF used to decrypt your SSH key, or your laptop or your TrueCrypt volume. We can also add additional checks when running the BlindHash call for a given AppID to enforce things like;

1. must first rely to an SMS or enter a TOTP code
2. Request must come from a certain IP range or during certain hours
3. Request only valid after date X (time lock)

So this can be used to shore up password-based encryption as well in some very interesting ways.
