For just files (Word, Excel, CAD, pdf, PowerPoint, etc.) PDM/PLM software is amazing (some top products include Teamcenter, Windchill, & Enovia). They are tailor made to store the versions (including mark-ups) and provide workfows for approval, since they are born out of the need to store CAD parts/assemblies that have strictly defined parent/child relationships, they have no problems doing the same for more simple files.

For the "why" or "knowledge capture", I don't think you can do better than a Wiki and the dominant enterprise Wiki is most certainly MediaWiki. With extensions for improved searching, visual editor, etc., corporate wikis are more powerful and easier than ever to use.

Yes; sites don't want you to know about RSS because it's a way to bypass their portals to just get to the goods.

I suspect that most sites that have RSS feeds don't expose them intentionally. They just used some framework which automatically creates it. If they knew, they'd put an end to it. "What, someone can grab a list of our items without seeing the main page at all? Turn that shit off!"

Even though the items do contain links that beckon the user to that site, it still minimizes their interaction.
Absolutely, or rather, memory isn’t fully formed. There were movies I watched dozens of times as a kid. At the time I could repeat every word of the dialogue and songs, but I couldn’t tell you what the movie was about, so it was always enjoyable to see it play out.

There was a line at the end of some Muppets movie I would watch over and over, as the credits rolled—some nudge to parents like “I bet you wish you were watching this for the first time!”
I've been taught cursive since elementary school and I've seen plenty cases when people's cursive was almost unreadable for me. Which almost never happens with block letters. Cursive has only one advantage - maximum speed of writing. If you need to write down something fast especially in large quantity (like lectures in university). But readability is usually harmed in that case. Especially bad situation with doctors, I've never understood how they can produce such cryptic notes when people's life can depend on it.
Anyway, I don't see a point in cursive today (even though that's the only way I write text in my native language, but that's rarely needed).

There was an excellent Twitter thread on why they didn't do this: https://twitter.com/alexstamos/status/928740488395608065

The salient bit:

> A quick note to everybody who says 'calculate the hash locally':

> A) Photo fingerprinting algorithms are usually not included in clients to prevent the development of circumvention techniques.

> B) Humans need to review to prevent adversarial reporting.

Further down the thread, they discuss further that PhotoDNA and similar algorithms are, in particular, not resistant to being tricked. Until they are, it's another layer to prevent adversaries from fully decomposing how they're hashing it, which is a good thing.

It's a trade-off, for sure, but this is a hard problem with no cut and dry answer. Facebook already has the images in question, because you have to be sending them to somebody in order to mark them as NCII. Asking yet another Facebook service to look at them without storing them seems reasonable to me. You may disagree.
The problem is that 99% of users don't know about them or don't know how to disable them. The damage was already done when years ago apps started to require permissions for hardware or data they shouldn't have access to, so that users now blindly accept every request because "the app comes from the official store, so it is safe".
Hi! You may be interested in https://frontpage.to .Just like you, we're a group of ex-iGoogle refugees who got fed-up with the alternatives which we found to be (subjectively) badly-designed/ insecure / inflexible, and built our own.

An important aspect of an evil maid attack is that it requires at least two instances of physical access, once before and once after use by an authorized user.

Thank you for pointing these out. The i.MX7 and i.MX8 SoCs seem very interesting, but I have a hard time finding information about available SBCs, mainline Linux and official Debian support. The only SBC I found is the Nitrogen7[0] and it doesn't seem to geared towards desktop use as there is no DP nor HDMI nor VGA, though the PCIe expansions is gold. I wonder why other SBC don't offer PCIe. They might not have the highest performance, but I don't need that.

That's probably a reflection of the fact that most new "protocols" are APIs built on HTTP, so no one's talking about TCP/IP even if it's still there under the hood. Compare it to API and you'll see it follows TCP down for a while as fewer people work on native software, then heads back up around 2012 with web and mobile apps becoming the norm.

My pet conspiracy theory regarding Youtube is that Google wants to pivot it to compete with Netflix and Amazon, and replace user-submitted content with exclusive, licensed content that might actually make money.

But Google doesn't want to risk the PR nightmare of admitting that they no longer want 99% of their userbase poisoning the well for the 1%, so they use pretexts like demonetizing content to encourage them to go elsewhere.

It's probably not true, but Google either seems to be fantastically inept or malicious at this point, when it comes to their interactions with content creators and their UX.

This is nothing even close to regulatory capture. It may not be a good thing, but you can't just throw random terms at it and expect them to work...

This policy has a) nothing to do with regulators or a regulatory agency, and b) is not a result of a regulated industry subverting the agent of it's regulation.

Also, the 100k cap you're complaining about already exists. I'm not sure what your rant even means at this point.

Usually other people's insights change the way I think, whereas my own insights just reinforce my thought processes. I think there are two categories of insights that change how people think (maybe more) ... 1) light-bulb insights and 2) burn-down-the-house insights. The latter category typically entails a tossing out of prior knowledge, training, or conditioning. I have experienced these after prolonged immersion in a very different environment and after reading books that I hated/couldn't accept initially. The light-bulb insights typically come after intensive study, but don't change how I think...

The BeagleBoard X15 seems very interesting. The onboard GPU is definitely a problem though. Why didn't they go for a useable GPU? And no, if it does not have open Mesa drivers, it is not usable.

I really wonder why the GPU situation is such a huge mess. Very few are supported by free drivers and the closed drivers are, besides being closed, often of very low quality. Is patent law holding this situation stable? Isn't patent law there to promote advance? I feel it isn't working.

I figured this out almost 25 years ago when my commander was writing in front of our group on a great big whiteboard I had just spent several days putting pinstriping on. Spent an hour or so using a dry erase marker to remove Sharpie permanent marker. I just tried it on a whim since we had nothing to lose, and was pleasantly surprised at how effective it was.

I've encountered this view of Facebook discourse quite a few times on HN and I continue to be confused and perturbed by it so I must speak up.

I value HN because among the many things the OP mentioned, it very often gives me vastly different and contrasting views on topics. Facebook does not do this. However, with that one exception (i.e. it's filterbubblish) I've generally found Facebook comments to be of extremely high quality. Is it just the company I keep or am I not the only one?
I make heavy use of RS -- I use TT-RSS as a reader and subscribe to lots of feeds. I pretty much use it as a 'starting point' for most of my news gathering. Even if RSS seems to be dieing off, pretty much all major news sites and CMS systems still have RSS built in so it is not dead yet..

If you remove styled-component specific tooling from the equation to simplify the argument and just use Glamorous instead of styled-components (which are very close to the same thing except the later is just JS), then it's exactly because of tooling.

The reality is that tooling for templates (even Angular or Mustache style) is pretty terrible. Tooling for CSS is just as terrible. Static analysis or doing simple things like interpolation of data is pretty darn bad.

But JavaScript tooling isn't half bad. It's not the best there is, but its still reasonably advanced. Thus you have React, which is basically just JavaScript and objects. Sure JSX, but when used in React, it's just sugar to define those objects (hyperscript would work just fine too if you don't want to use a compiler, and early on in React's life just creating the objects from factories was just fine. Certainly better than weird templates with bad tooling).

Once it's all javascript, everything works: my linter works (and is certainly more advanced than css linters), both major type systems work, my refactoring tools work, and I have all the language at my disposal without learning anything new to do stuff like conditionally showing or hiding things. No need for an ng-if, v-if or whatever.

The same logic keeps going with styled-components. Associate the styles with a plain old JavaScript object, using javascript constructs (in this case, template strings), and all the tooling to manipulate them, interpolate them, or type check them just works (eg: TypeScript isn't bad at typing interpolations in template strings). And if that's not good enough, Glamorous is just objects so it's even easier.

Now I mentioned both styled-components and glamorous...normally this logic would heavily favor the later, but for some reason, tooling for styled-components have gone above and beyond to make up for the shortcomings of template strings, so it ends up working better for me.

Maybe someday some very motivated people will make tooling for the non-JS parts of ecosystems that are not "all JS", and this point will be moot, but right now the React ecosystem is the one that lets you most heavily lean on tools.

It's probably why it doesn't look so great from a newcomer perspective though: if you're not at a point where you're trying to squeeze every last bits of power from the tooling ecosystem, then it's just overhead and a waste of time.

>How is it blocked? Programming is not illegal. Neither is art. Unless your aspirations are politics, political decisions only rarely enter into the equation.

I have friends who are graduate students, and I used to be one. Doubling taxes on everyone working in a specific field is... well, it's cutting off people's livelihood out of pure political spite.

As it is, labor law has a daily effect on all of us who work for a living, and recent Congressional efforts in healthcare policy have basically constituted stochastic terrorism against the population at large. Threats of war, loss of healthcare, loss of Social Security, doublings of taxes -- these things affect people's lives.
At this point I think there is literally nothing about Equifax incompetence that would surprise me. I mean nothing.

They could reveal tomorrow that their data center fire protection protocols mandate the use of printed backups, feeding them to the flames with hopes the god of data destruction would be appeased and leave their servers alone. I would not be surprised. Nor would I be surprised if the paper backups were only available as printouts on toilet paper, 1000 miles away, in the CEO's office.

No, my reaction would be, "sounds about right for them, though I guess it's +1 point for effort on keeping any backups at all"
Funny, I bought a dozen of tshirts on threadless 3 or 4 years ago.

Most of the good quality tshirts start at 40€, way more than a threadless shirt

The difference is that plumbing is tangible. You can touch the pipes and imagine what's inside them.

IT is intangible.

You can touch a server and a network cable, but their work is utterly mysterious and unintuitive compared to a domestic water pipe.

Which is why IT seems like magic, but plumbing, carpentry, and car maintenance don't.
Three main things:

- Surrealist gibberish videos made with cheap render assets that feature whatever will show up in kids’ content search (thus a predominance of Marvel and Disney characters)

- Gross-out and violent troll videos that imitate the surrealist gibberish videos well enough for the algorithms to think they’re kids’ content

- Live-action content that tends to include borderline child abuse in the name of “funny” content (for example, children vomiting or visibly in pain)

Thanks for posting this article and it is indeed disturbing. It looks like there is just an insane amount of mind scrambling content that nobody should let themselves or their children experience. Given the Medium author's informal but useful initial analysis, this seems like a ripe topic for a formal psychological and technological analysis by some poor dissertation student or group of students who could survive the content and uncover much more about the origins, intent, extent, and consequences of this type of media.

------------------------------------------------------------

The results revealed that while the two types of note-takers performed equally well on questions that involved recalling facts, laptop note-takers performed significantly worse on the conceptual questions.

The notes from laptop users contained more words and more verbatim overlap with the lecture, compared to the notes that were written by hand. Overall, students who took more notes performed better, but so did those who had less verbatim overlap, suggesting that the benefit of having more content is canceled out by “mindless transcription.”

“It may be that longhand note takers engage in more processing than laptop note takers, thus selecting more important information to include in their notes, which enables them to study this content more efficiently,” the researchers write.

The problem is that encrypting once in a conventional database design does not add noticeable depth. The server needs to be able to decrypt automatically in order to function. Whatever the server does to decrypt, the attacker will do too.

It helps here to understand two things:

1. When we talk about protecting servers with encryption, we're stipulating attackers with RCE. That was the case with the Equifax attacker and is routinely the case in real-world applications.

2. SQLI, the app-layer non-RCE attack that gives you direct access to raw database rows (ie: the one non-RCE case in which you'd get access to the data we're encrypting) almost always equates to RCE anyways.

There are real designs that involve cryptography that mitigate these problems. They fall into two buckets:

1. HSM/Crypto "oracle" schemes that are backed by intensive staffing and monitoring. Yes: nobody disagrees that Equifax should have had a serious security team doing serious monitoring. But: if it had that, it wouldn't have had this breach, which involved a published critical framework vulnerability. In other words: in bucket 1, "encryption" isn't helping you, "better security team" is.

2. Moon math schemes. I'm all for moon math, but when people say "phwat!? Equifax worn't even encrypticated?", they do not as a rule have a particular moon math scheme in mind (or, likely, an appreciation for what it means to be the first at-scale deployment of a new moon math scheme).

I am not mounting an argument that people shouldn't encrypt things. Hard drives do get lost. I'm just saying that as an operational security mitigation, encryption isn't doing what 99.99% of developers think it's doing in this scenario.

(by the way, I can't take credit for the term "moon math" but it is super useful)
the most important thing is to have a huge stock of whiteboard markers, like 40 of them, and order more when it gets down to 20. much time is wasted searching for good whiteboard markers. bad markers add mental overhead of deciphering faint lines when the material presented is already challenging. chalk has neither problem.
