Maybe 7 years ago I built a service that would track links from your Twitter feed, mainly because I was posting links I found interesting and wanted a way to refer back to them later.

I intended to have it track all links from people you follow too, to give a curated list of links, but Twitter was aggressively making changes to restrict their API so this became impossible.

Just hoping it doesn't turn into another Sears Tower - an overly extravagant building built by a company at the peak of their existence, only to have markets shift out under them... soon winding up with way too much building for way too much cost.
My god, this brings back some formative memories. Memories of AOHell. Memories of HappyHardcore, the self-styled hacker who claimed authorship of it. Memories of hanging out in Warez chat rooms, where everyone showed up in phished accounts to trade 'warez' and conspire to troll various AOL communities. Memories of taking apart System 7 shareware games with ResEdit and, in so doing, learning how they worked.

Those were the days, man.

I find most tv shows targetted at children to be weird and bad for children, they show adults behaving in an infantized way. This subliminally teaches children that this kind of childish behavior is appropiate even as an adult. It shows that caring about whatever papa baba bear on his little adventure circus is still something you could concievably care about as an adult. You may think children dont make that connection but brains are specifically wired to understand what is and isnt okay to do and to mimick adults.

Not sure about on this particular surface, but Expo whiteboard cleaner spray works like magic for old writing. I have several different surfaces at the office, including a whiteboard-painted wall, and it works equally well on all. Clorox wipes generally work really well too, but I think the Expo spray is better.
Vue documentation is just superb. Kudos to those wrote it. Evan Yu, in particular. Only those who understand a topic very well can present it so simply.
Correct, the only way to avoid it is to live completely "off the grid," cabin in the woods style.

Paradoxically, if you were extremely wealthy you'd definitely want to purchase umbrella insurance to insure that wealth!!

I should mention that when I said insurance I meant car, homeowners, renters, and umbrella insurance, not medical insurance. I don't know about medical insurance and what sorts of data brokers they may use.

Banks use data brokers when you have a savings or checking account too.
Same thing happened to us. My daughter learned a lot from YouTube. Then one day I saw her watching this video of My Little Pony (badly drawn) cutting each other with machetes. The recommendations started including lots of these things. SpongeBob committing suicide and stuff.

She has no access to YouTube anymore, which is a bit sad because again there's a lot of good stuff there.

Let's look at the license (https://8th-dev.com/com-license.html):

"Except as otherwise specifically permitted in this Agreement, you may not: [...] (h) publish any results of benchmark tests run on the Software to a third party without Licensor’s prior written consent"

So we know that it's slow as crap, which is especially problematic given the author's claims of suitability for embedded development, and the author also thinks that nobody's going to notice. (What's next, an NDA to get the proposed license?) There's not a big enough cup to hold all the nope.

Why not treat other people with respect and leave them to manage what they do with their own lives themselves instead of trying to force them to do what's best according to an arbitrarily chosen American-left-wing-parent-friendly culture?

Yes, this is children, but parents can manage what media their children consume. Let them make their own choices.
I find that Expo whiteboard spray works even better than wipes on most surfaces.
You know, I’m not sure if this is a bad thing. Seemingly indomitable companies prove mortal, but the architecture they leave becomes part of the culture. Apple will not last forever, of course, but architecture... that can last a good deal longer.
IRC is still an interesting place! Even just on Freenode there are a bunch of good channels. It’s not the same as the 90s (before my time online) and 2000s, but I’ve made a few friends & good acquaintances on technical channels, many of whom I’ve even had the pleasure of meeting in person, since many of us live in the SF bay area.

> they’d probably be fine for 10 years

It's not uncommon for the land under such buildings to have 100+ year leases. That much money and time put into that much building requires very long terms. Maybe Apple bought the land outright, but I'm certain they're thinking longer-term than 10 years here... as was Sears at the time they built their tower.

This also doesn't account for the annual maintenance costs of such a grand building. Apple's sitting on top of a big pile of money today, but that may not be the case 20 years from now (as was the case for Sears)... the maintenance costs will only increase as the building ages.

Only if you want to ignore 12% market share or use a polyfill:

https://caniuse.com/#search=fetch
https://www.netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qpr...

Plus, although fetch is tremendously better than XMLHttpRequest, it still has quirks. It doesn't send cookies by default. The promise resolve on success on code 400 and 500. Headers are verbose. You have to encode and decode json manually. You have to force CORS for it to work.

The end of this article show you the problem:

Eventually you end up writting code to wrap fetch. So why not just use jquery or axios ? It's already documented and tested.

>does anyone else find it morally repugnant

Yes, the idea that you are entitled to edit other people's memories is as repugnant as it gets.
I think this assumes far too much passiveness in the human population and treats the problem of eliminating humans like any other passive engineering problem.

"Good enough" works for UI and database performance, or problems that aren't actively adapting to prevent the solution from being applied.

Nobody in security would apply "good enough" to well-known and high value attack vectors, you need to be constantly adapting and understanding your enemies next move. And in cybersecurity, you really have a limited surface area for attack.

Drones and robots need to apply their solution (getting rid of us) in the real physical world, not the digital one and each one of us is a supercomputer which can adapt to working with other supercomputers very quickly in the face of adversity.

I think they might make a good first push and catch us off guard, but some humans on defense will understand the systems that control the drones and how they collect/process the information. They do not have the same advantage with us.

Designing new camouflage to avoid detection, creating decoys which waste their ammunition/resources or spread their forces too thinly, and various other classic strategies that come naturally to any group of humans with a single strategist amongst them will be well outside of a simple "good enough" drone's ability to adapt and combat.

Anything but a perfect annihilation will only give us time to find exploits and counterattack. The only thing that should be a threat is an AI that has a similar capability to understand the physical universe and adapt faster than us. You might make a robot that understand a whole bunch of stuff about physics and biology and math... but if they don't understand chemistry and the many ways we can deploy it as a weapon against them (think acids and other corrosives), then they're going to be at a complete loss as to how to neutralize that threat.

Is it bad to write without all these JS tools?
We just use Visual Studio and include the standalone Vue.js file. We write plain css (no sass etc) and js with some occasional JQuery. We don't use Nodejs and its build tools (Kinda don't like the complexity all those tools bring. You are more worried about the tooling than the actual problem at hand). We use Ajaxmin and Httpcombiner. That's it for Frontend.

Vuejs is great. Found it to be easy and simple to understand. Big thumbs up for Evan You.

I'd be more worried if Apple didn't have 256 billion dollars in cash reserves, which is frankly a kind of insane amount. Can't find how much cash Sears had on hand in 1973 but the equivalent to Apple's cash on hand vs building would be 7.6 billion.
I'm seeing associate level devops positions being completely replaced by ML. I was deeply skeptical - and still am - but I can't argue with the results. I'm a little worried of dev teams relying on hardware they don't understand, but that's happening with or without ML.
Which order did you attempt to learn them in? Is it possible taking the time to attempt to learn react affected how easy it was to pick up Vue? I know we love to hate on React here but they are very similar. Can you identify what in particular is so confusing with regards to react vs. vue? They have a very similar API.

I have a hard time understanding why this "drop in" experience is so important. Are you all writing simple contact us forms or something incredibly simple?

Here is a good article describing some of the limitations of sand we may face -
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/05/29/the-world-is-r...

Humans brains replace themselves and the resources it takes to grow a new human (complete with a new brain) are much lower and easier to acquire than any artificial brain we may come up with. It takes awhile to get little humans up to speed, but they'll adapt to any environment you throw at them and in a time of strife will be able to make themselves useful way sooner than they do today.

Any time you start saying words like "indefinitely" you're falling into a trap. We may have "infinite" silicon available on the earth, but it's not equally accessible and it can't all be extracted and refined in the same way.
All this makes me wonder what will inspire the current school generation to get into computing.
What is a good example of needing to cancel a promise besides the data fetch scenario? If any other type of async action takes long enough to run to be cancelled it would have to be in a worker thread (so it won't run in the UI thread) in which case you can post a message to stop the process (if it's async) or just remove the worker listener if the process is sync and let it finish. Maybe JS needs a way to kill a worker lol

There is still a significant technical hurdle to overcome: position a programming problem as a machine learning problem. If we can take a semi-formal compilable spec snippet as a feature-set, and an AST subgraph as a labeled point, and bash that into tensors, then yes, a lot of code monkeys will be out of a job.
All this hype of job automation of waiters and truck drivers - software engineering will be the first job to be "roboticized" - it has the least meatspace moving parts.
I remember reading here on HN some time ago that some privileged teams could ask to be outside the new Apple HQ building so that they don't have to be part of the damaging open office culture.
So Apple should invest billions of their profits in a technology they have no experience or skills in and over a decade away from being able to catch up and provide a competitive service against arguably the smartest company in the world whose core competency is search, so they can devalue the Apple brand with a sub par service that has nothing to do with their strengths, absorbs the billions required to develop and maintain the infrastructure (see: Bing), forgo billions of Service revenue their now receiving from Google to provide an ad-free Service that will never be profitable so they can force a worst end-user UX on their Customers?

Somehow I don't see this happening.
Apple already admitted they dropped the ball on the Mac Pro, and promised to fix it.

You would think they have enough money to do everything at once, but for whatever reason, it evidently doesn't work that way.
Ditto. "CardMaster" (or something like that) allowed me to get online for quite a while.
For AES, the quantum advantage is merely grover's algorithm, which allows you to invert a function in O(sqrt(N)) time instead of O(N) time. Basically, the algorithm would look like "compute AES-192 on a uniform random quantum state, then do Grover's algorithm for 2^96 timesteps." This needs as many qubits as it takes to compute AES-192 (which, since the algorithm isn't unitary, is strictly greater than 192 qubits).

More important is the fact that it's a very long-running application: it requires to you keep over 192 qubits coherent for a very long time, which is probably an order of magnitude or more in error correction requirements.
This clearly implicates that Facebook has, almost without reserve, the ability to read messages from user to user (even though it might limited to messages to oneself), and exposes that ability to its employees.

No, it implies that some Facebook employees have the ability to review messages which are reported as being abusive. Which is... well, kind of obvious. I mean, what did you think was going to happen when you report a message?

(I suspect that some employees have the ability to look at far more messages than just the ones which are reported, but that is not implied by what they're telling us here.)

They already did something similar with Maps. Very rough launch, but now it's pretty good.
> Also, PFS uses 256-bit ECC, which only requires a 512-qubit quantum computer to break it.

Grover's algorithm is a quadratic, not exponential speedup. It may require 512 qubits, but it still requires 2^128 time.

I too am somewhat confused about Cloudflare. They provide an SSL option called "Flexible SSL", about which Cloudflare itself states:

[Flexible SSL] is less secure than [even no SSL],
and could even cause you trouble when you decide
to switch away from it[1]

Then why even offer it? Particularly when they have "Full SSL", which can be used with a self-signed certificate, or "Full SSL (strict)", which can be used with Cloudflare's own freely provided "Origin CA"[2].

I don't know if flatjaf's post is just referring to Flexible SSL, but if there are any issues with either of CF's "Full SSL" options I'd be interested to hear them (genuinely, in case that sounds like insincere sarcasm).
