Agreed, testing is an art that most developers do not have. It must be cultivated and honed. I have been programming for over 35 years and developing tests is painstakingly difficult to cover all your bases.
1. Self hosting doesn't have to operate at the scale of slack, so there's a whole slew of issues avoided. Pushing text messages around really isn't that difficult when you aren't serving millions of customers.

2. You can perform maintenance outside of office hours, with SaaS you don't get to decide when an upgrade (and potential outage) happens. I don't care about 99% uptime, I care about having 99% uptime while I'm working.

You mean like all the javascript you're sending me?

> To solve this, we're using a relatively new web technology (Service Workers) to install some code which can't be changed without setting off a warning to you. That code then keeps taps on all other code, and checks that it matches the publicly available version on GitHub.

I really think you need to rethink your security here, because this just makes me even more sure that I don't trust you. It's actually a good bit laughable. If an attacker has access to your server, why should I believe that they wouldn't be able to update your github repository? (Why do I know you use different keys, don't put your private key on the server, &c?)

I have to trust you _regardless_ of any of your technology, and that's the problem. If someone has your server, there is very little I won't put past them to also have access too.

In sum, I think you're in for a world of hurt if you expect anyone who actually cares about security to trust you to never, ever make any mistakes.

The one point about coupling in type systems is the names.

While some languages (Typescript comes to mind) has structural typing, languages like Haskell tend to have nominal typing. So even if your data _looks like_ {'amount': 100, 'currency': 'USD'}, becuase you've wrapped it in a "Money" ADT, now its treated as a different object.

Now sometimes this is valuable! There's a reason we have "newtypes" in a lot of these languages. But other times you end up having to do a lot of wrapping/unwrapping for little reason beyond the type system.

There's a lot of compiler-related reasons for this stuff as well, but if you work a lot in duck-typed languages you can end up getting used to writing stuff that works across data types without any fuss.

FYI, slack seems to be up again now (at least for me.)
I've switched to using TwistApp (https://www.twistapp.com) with my team. Unlike Slack where you have channels where everyone talks about everything, TwistApp bases conversations around threads. Every problem that's being worked on has its own thread. Once it's completed, I close and archive the threads. Very effective for getting things done as every task is isolated in a separate thread and discussions don't overlap.

Yes, as opposed to intra-governmental debt. Also of the public debt, the breakdown is:

As of September 2014, foreigners owned $6.06 trillion of U.S. debt, or approximately 47% of the debt held by the public of $12.8 trillion and 34% of the total debt of $17.8 trillion.[42] The largest holders were China, Japan, Belgium, the Caribbean banking centers, and oil exporters.

>What will they use bitcoin futures to hedge for?

That spot prices of bitcoin is lower than expected, making their current "buy mining equipment, hook it up, and generate bitcoin" operations unprofitable. Miners as a group will be net short BTC futures for the same reason that corn farmers are net short corn futures.

The longs will in because of the shorts - since carrying costs are so low, the futures will trade below the spot price, which means buy-and-hold BTC investors are better off rolling BTC futures contracts than the underlying.

> he was able to work with the driver from managed (C#) code without actually modifying the driver source at all

Yea, I wouldn't need to (or want to) modify the source, and using the actual driver from userspace isn't that bad. Also, having a pre-signed win32k driver is a nice thing that I wouldn't want to give up. My motivation is mainly to avoid using it all together, if possible, which is I think what the API you linked to prior will allow.

So the UWP API looks like the right way forward. I wonder if we could launch it as Win 10+ without too many complaints. Nobody is really using 8/8.1, but there are of course corporate Win7 holdouts.

> Do you have a public issue tracker? Or is it mostly IRC and mailing lists?

There's wireguard.com/todo/ but it hasn't been populated with the particular TODOs for the userspace stuff. But if you send me an email or come into the IRC, I can fill you in at the optimal time when it seems like _the one thing remaining_ is just to fill in some platform-specific stubs for win32. If that's appealing to you, of course.

" which means things like CPI are taken in to account."

Yes - but we should all be weary of this.

CPI is measured in funky ways, and it's tough one.

Problems with measures:

+ Both housing and Oil prices are usually left out of the numbers they use (included in others).

There are reasons for doing this, but it's bazonkers crazy to think of 'consumer prices' as not including their #1 item (housing) and a huge variable cost that consumers pay for directly (gas) but also that goes into everything (airline tickets, transport of stuff, taxi, etc. etc..)

And of course the hardest thing to measure is the real value increase of a product ... i.e. a tomato that is bigger, redder, juicier, healthier - is worth more than one that is not. So - if prices for tomatoes stay flat - but - their value has actually increased, well, that's deflation. That intangible is super hard to measure and quantify.

It's the later issue that is at the heart of so many economic arguments: some say we are 'poorer than ever' - and yet, every single bit of material consumable is way better than it ever was. The crappiest Peugot today drives better than the #1 Mercedes from 1985 ...

My issue with this line of thought, is that while completely true, it also doesn't mean a whole lot. It is completely dependent on it being the US stock market. And during a period for that stock market that had a number of incredibly important items go it's way. Its not backfitting because it happened, but we only find it meaningful because we happened to have been here during it. For any number of reasons, including just how the universe works, that doesn't mean anything going forward.

In this case nested cross-validation would have been the proper way to do this. Run your entire model selection process (scaling - feature selection w/ CV - model selection - hyper paramter tuning w/ CV) on each of the folds in the outter CV loop. That will tell you how good your process is at building a model that generalizes.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a DMCA takedown case here. Google scanned the content of the file, didn't like it and removed access via an algorithm. Nobody but Google knows how it works.

If the content is encrypted then it's impossible to use google docs document viewers, editors, or collaborate online on a document directly via google doc. It becomes just a dumb file host with no added value.

I think for FreeBSD kernel-land, there will have to be significant rewrites, anyway, since the Linux code is fairly Linux-specific. At some point though, I'd love to do a kernel implementation for the BSDs (in addition to the userspace one, which is coming much sooner), and I suppose you could expect for that to be BSD-licensed, appropriately.

Non-native widgets can certainly be accessible with screen readers and other assistive technologies. But it's a lot of work. You'll need to implement the UI Automation provider API for Windows, AT-SPI for desktop Linux, and the Cocoa accessibility API for Mac. And you probably won't get any of them right the first time. So I think it would have been better not to create a custom toolkit.

Skip past the FB/Google/Twitter Lawyers at the hearings and listen to what the Security experts are saying.

I am no fan of Zuck or FB and what chaos they have enabled, but things have escalated way beyond what one tech company can counter. We are going to be borrowing lessons from China soon to get a handle on this mess.

That's 10000 failure per day on 1 million drives.

In the classical way of setting up the parser, passing some example input and then asserting some things about the output?
It's good for covering basic features/usecases. Since setup is always the same, it should be written as a list of input/expectation pairs (data driven).
But coverage is typically limited by the effort needed to write the assertions - which grows in parallel with the input complexity.

If one also writes a serializer, then one can additionally test for any input the property: `serialize(parse(input)) === input`. This means adding a new test is just dropping in more example inputs (say from bug reports).

Now one can go further, and define a set of mutation operators that can act on input to produce a new valid input. Reorder tokens, change data at leaves, delete and insert new data, etc. Now one can generate arbitrary amounts of new test cases based on existing input examples.

Other mutation operations can be designed to generate invalid inputs, which should always give an error (never crash, halt or unexpected exception).
Yes, I'm planning to make a library for it. It won't be quite install-and-forget, because the developer has to 1) push to GitHub or another public log before every deploy and 2) somehow let the Service Worker know where to find the latest version on GitHub. But it's definitely possible.

A TWA hub sounds interesting. I think that if you have a list of web apps that

1. are a Transparent Web App

2. have had a security audit

you could then add some UI in the browser that says "this web app keeps your data private". That would be useful not just for apps that use client-side encryption, but also very simple web apps, like say word counters. It's very useful for users to know whether the word counter sends their data to the server or not.

Of course, step 2 would be quite expensive, although for simple web apps it would be manageable. It would have to be financed by either the web apps themselves, or some big entity like Mozilla (which for years has had volunteers manually check browser extensions for things like this, too).

Would I prefer that they used a method of encryption that followed industry best practices like WhatsApp and Signal? Certainly. But, if its not turned on by default, it doesn’t matter.”"
