I wouldn't say they are "often" displayed at the password change/set prompt. It's more of a "sometimes" in my experience, although if you get it wrong most sites will then tell you the requirements.

I think everyone can agree that hidden requirements are the worst. Some sites do this out of a misguided notion that it gives the hackers information so it must be hidden for security.

IMHO, the only requirement that really does anything is length. In my experience it's easier to type a 16 character passphrase than some jumbled up mess that's easy for a computer to guess anyway.

Good password (fails many security requirements): "Cokar fed Hunganix!"

Bad password (will usually be accepted): "+yP3wr1t3R"

I sort of agree with the OP. If you are at a login box and put in an invalid character into the password field, the box should tell you that in the failure message. That may very well jog someone's memory that the site has retarded password policy and they had to modify the password pattern.
>>> Cloudflare's decision today is going to be devastating not only for them, but for the Internet as a whole (as usual :/).

How is this devastating for the internet as a whole?
How does this interact with trademark law?
Why does shadowbanning phishing accounts automatically lead to stopping people from sending emails based on their content?

Flipping this for a second: what's the better alternative? That should cloudflare do nothing to stop people from misusing their services?
I guess the issue is that if nothing is done to prevent and hinder phishers, hackers, and other shitty denizens of the net, their influence and capabilities will only continue to grow... and It's well understood that security is extremely asymmetric in favor of attackers.
I often rebase my local commits on a remote branch to keep my branch up to date with changes in the remote branch.

I find this simpler and cleaner than introducing a series of merge commits in my local branch.
I want login & signup params in meta, for password vaults to use.

Stable URLs for log in/out, regex pattern (or some such) to spec password reqs, list stock status response codes (eg success, bad email, nym already taken).
This is a site with a major focus on startups. If I wanted to do a video startup, plans that give cheap additional bandwidth to specific incumbent video services (YouTube) are yet another major hurdle to overcome if I want to be successful.

So yes, this kind of deal absolutely is "evil", as it will hurt innovation on the web in the long run.
The people taking on this debt are typically 17 to 18 years old and have had people telling them their entire lives that they must go to college to get ahead. What would you do? Maybe the institutions should share some of the responsibility and risk.
It's not done yet. It is coming in the near future.
The Market is, left to its own devices, notoriously bad at pricing social and human values. Two examples: teachers and nurses. The social value of a compassionate nurse, if you are cheyne-stoking or supping on your last chemo cocktail is huge. My partner is a nurse and the comfort she has given to the sick and dying cannot be priced by the market. Compare to the banksters who brought about 2008 GFI.

In my friend's case he was simply not able to get sufficient funding for his core research. In the end he gave up and got a job and I don't blame him for that.

It won't happen if our best brains are figuring out how to make you click on ads and concocting the most effective form of fake news. It is a massive diversion of raw talent and resources away from, say, that nuclear fusion reactor.
But, he's not advocating for more password requirements.
This is right. We used to all agree, as a society, that we would all benefit by people educating themselves, becoming then next generation of civil engineers, doctors managers, and maybe poets. But we no longer believe that, we believe that people should pay for it themselves.

That may be fine for a home user, but if my livelyhood was dependent on this machine I'd rather buy something less hacked together and with actual support options.

This is not about wether or not it will actually work, it's about liability.
What RenTec do is more akin to gold mining than finding $20 bills on the sidewalk. They expend substantial computational and intellectual resources in the pursuit of alpha. They're finding alpha in places that are non-obvious to the rest of the hedge fund industry, let alone the average investor. They're not eating a free lunch.

"For business, capital and investment banking, Ivy League puts you very far ahead, but outside of that, especially if your life involves working for someone else, the trade and the school are largely irrelevant compared to just having a degree, which also has limited relevance in many fields."

I used to offer b2c technical support in my local area, I did it for about 5 years. It involved lots of in-person assistance provided to non-technical folks on setting up Apple iCloud-enabled devices where the client was just too spooked or unsure about the process and needed help.

I estimate I've helped 300+ people set up iPads and iPhones, and almost all end up setting up iCloud. There are various steps to set up a new iCloud account, including security questions from a drop-down list and setting a suitably secure password.

This happened 95%+ of the time:

* iCloud prompts for (first time setup) password

* I look away, they type in a password and tap OK/Next

* I look back, iCloud responds that the password is not strong/secure enough

* I explain that Apple passwords needs to be of a certain strength, and include 1 or more capital letters, and 1 or more numbers.

* The client tries again: makes the first character (a letter) capital and tacks a `1` on the end.
Exactly. A common adage in the aerospace world is that it's not aerodynamics that makes airplanes fly, it's money.

Same thing here. The only way NASA is going anywhere outside LEO is with a commitment by congress to spend gobs and gobs of money every year over many years.

JEP Draft: Switch Expressions for the Java Language
But they are advertising the wrong thing. A university is supposed to engage in teaching and research, not sports. They can keep their Street Fighting Math and Integration Bee teams, but football needs to go, it gives the students and the public the wrong idea.
> But, all those things people did in the '90's or even earlier. It was called "data warehousing" or "decision support" back then.

I would say data warehousing is more concerned with things like OLAP, Star Schema, ETL, etc. than what people are calling 'data science' right now. The same thing with 'decision support', since data warehousing grew out of decision support systems. The most overlap here is with 'data mining' algorithms like association rules clustering.

> The fundamental techniques - linear regression, logistic regression, k-mean clustering - go back even earlier, to the OR community post-WW2.

Here I think you've got a stronger argument. OR has a long, proud history of using applied math for business objectives. But again, I would say most of OR deals with different problems and different techniques - it's more about prescriptive analytics, constrained optimization, linear programming, simulations, etc. than the type of predictive modeling in most data science.

I see data science as a separate field even though it's stitched together from a bunch of others. It's certainly not entirely new, and certainly overhyped in some annoyingly-breathless news reports. I could say the same thing about CS - was it entirely "new" when it started as a discipline? Isn't CS "just" applied math?
How did you market the subject line tester?
The top teams do a whole lot better than smaller schools though. For considering policy the aggregate is more interesting than the schools with the best numbers.

Look at the spending that the schools other than UM and MSU put towards athletics:

Someone once said “you’re only paranoid if you think you have enemies...and you don’t”. So I guess one thing to consider is who are the enemies whom you want to protect yourself from.
Wait, are you saying that they created a "PR" fund that regular people can't invest in that has higher returns because it's only made up of funds that had high returns this year?

If so, where do the "loser" funds go? The clients?

> The rational behavior from the more expensive university is then probably to refuse credits from community colleges so they can increase their profits and fleece students more.

...which funnels those students into state schools that are usually forced by state regulation to allow CCs in the same state to operate feeder programs. The rich kids go to private schools or stick around to get masters and we're back where we were decades ago only all the numbers are much bigger, the minimum amount of degree is higher (a 2yr is the new high school diploma, a masters is the new bachelors, etc.) the average person gets being an adult pushed back by about four years and whether society is better for it depends on who you ask.

So basically it's a circle.
Instead of focusing our budget on resolving climate issues and pollution on our own planet, we somehow try to blow our money into space exploration. I get that it's a good thing to do in the long run, but until we fix the issues that are present around us, there won't be a long run.

I want more bandwidth for Mastodon. I don't see Mastodon in the "social networks" plan. So my options are: 1) pay more for "general" bandwidth, 2) use Twitter instead. This is the choice that customers will have to make when evaluating new internet services and it's not good for anyone trying to compete with Google/Facebook/Microsoft.
Object Thinking, by David West for the essential ideas and philosophy of sane OOP.
These days you go to the Microsoft App store and download Ubuntu. It loads up actual bash and comes with everything you'd expect. (ssh being just one of the things). The terminal emulation is improving (there are still a couple of glitches) but pretty much all of my daily tools work exactly correctly.
The theory is that you both a) have relatives/other people that you care about that benefit from this, and b) that you will benefit from it when it's your turn to live even longer.

Of course, it's yet to be seen how well b) will play out in practice.

I filled in at a student org council meeting at my school the other day, and they were presenting our plan for a new gym, at the mandatory low cost of $200 added to every student's semester tuition. ($40/month gym fee for everybody! Where's the gym again?)

Apparently the 14 million dollars in annual revenue would still never pay for the renovations.
If it is a complex project, I usually would avoid a rewrite. There is good literature on how to approach modernization of legacy applications step-by-step. Read it, apply it. In the end the modernization is a re-write. It's just one where you don't loose features.

For webapps you can even do this while changing languages (with a router that delegates some things to the old api and others to the new api).
During installation/setup you have the option to disable a lot, unfortunately in an enterprise environment that isn't always something the user gets to see. Fortunately most of the crap is disabled or not present in the enterprise version of Windows 10.

It's on by default so that users will interact with it and try it out. This is pretty standard practice on every major OS or application you use today. New features are enabled by default and the user gets to figure out how to disable them if they don't like it.

Case in point, the latest update to Gmail on Android enables a feature of opening URLs in a Chrome Frame inside Gmail instead of using your browser. This is great for Google, not so much for the user. I got screwed over because of this feature because a nonce token I received was consumed by the Chrome Frame which promptly crashed.

Windows 10's suggestions and prompts are about on par with MacOS High Sierra's. If you're questioning that statement, try not setting up iCloud some time then come back to me.
Me too :) I loved Serial Experiments Lain's foregrounding of things like power lines... many people might find them unattractive, but good art can change how you see things.
I've been out on boats in Monterey Bay (northeast Pacific Ocean) about once a month for the past 15 years and this year the population of sea nettle Chrysaora fuscescens jellies has been higher than ever. Sometimes they were so thick that it looked like a carpet on the water surface.

This past summer I spent a week in western Greece and they had a huge bloom of mauve stinger Pelagia noctiluca jellies. We could barely go in the water. According to the locals they had never seen so many before.

Those are just anecdotes and could be caused by random fluctuations, but it does seem like something is really changing.
Just as another anecdote, I use my Linux laptop with an external monitor every single day. Even have StumpWM configured with keystrokes to switch between portrait and landscape modes (using arandr).
Agree that ranking is not that important, p.s. Pardon my english, it's not my first language, I might have wrote it badly. I meant event if it were not a top 10 program (which it is) it would still have been worth it, just for the cost. GA Tech MS in CS is current ranked #9 in USNews and World Report which makes it even a better bargain.
I parted company with the OP at that point. If he considers staging a "power user" feature then we're on two different planets.
If anyone's interested in neuroscience and machine learning, we're working on a fun little project to use EEG to track focus and optimize productivity here: https://github.com/neurotechx/neurodoro
Also lack of fullscreen support (pre-windows 10), no history and it seems that command line was just a joke for MS for the longest time.

I think it's the explosion of open source and the corresponding command line tools that they started investing some time and effort to the command line.
As mentioned in a reddit thread(1) of the same article:

"Let's see, average amount of student loan debt per graduate is $30k. Student loans are usually a life-altering debt, designed to take decades to pay off. That means for every year this chode gets paid $1M, 33.3 students are stuck with paying off his yearly salary for the next 20 years. "

And that's just 1 person. And it's pretty easy to connect the dots to the real problem, being that of administration is the one making the rules now for education, not the faculty and academics. (2) (3)

Now, there is an argument that because more regulations and laws are passed, that is why administration is being.. bloated. I'm not so sure how true this is, but is is another factor that does seem to take a part of the whole situation. (4)

Shut down all of the state and federal loan programs, and plow all of that money into investing in the state university systems, with nominal tuition fees.

Stop plowing tax dollars into multi-million dollar executive salaries, that do nothing to improve higher education. All of the boards of trustees in the article brazenly brag about how the compensation for these people is only based on "fund raising", not about providing quality educations at low cost.

So let them continue charging independently wealthy individuals $50,000 / year to educate their children, but it is obscene that a single dime of public money is being handed to these people.

I am a co-founder in the cryptocurrency space. Our lawyers were smart and advised us against releasing a utility token ICO because they predicted that these SEC actions would be coming.

I know. I'm commenting more on the state of the industry where password complexity requirements are still a thing despite expert consensus that they make things worse.
Ages ago, I tried to create a sparse bitmap for ANTLR’s storage of Unicode match sets. The paper’s algorithm I tried to implement was like compressed b-trees. I didn’t get very far.

I’ve been wondering how parser generators now Unicode bitsets.
So then why do I have the ability to stage individual lines of changes, creating commits that do not reflect a state that my system ever had, ergo was never tested or compiled in, thus can not be known to be working?

Also, what if I use a remote to synchronize between different machines I work on on the same code base?

It all depends on how much you need compute power on your desk. This is a reasonable computer. It's not the absolute fastest thing you could build or buy. It's not an 224-core octa-socket Xeon Platinum box with 16 Titan V cards and 24 TB of RAM.

Provided you don't go for the lowest spec one, it's probably more than enough to cover most needs of most power users for the next 5 years or so. Even if you go for the low-spec one, it'll be fairly decent 5 years from now just like my aging MacBook Pro is.

Yes we are. The fact that their returns have been consistent regardless of market regime is clear evidence of alpha regardless of leverage. We don't need to know what their strategies are to know that.

How Drone Swarms Could Change Urban Warfare
No worries. No money will get spent. Since Bush it's part of a new President's first year ritual to announce an incoherent manned space program and ideally scrap the previous one. That's just standard procedure.
"With this directive, Mr Trump abandons plans set by his predecessor Barack Obama, to send humans to an asteroid near earth."

Isn't this the problem? Every President gives Nasa a new set of priorities, which they work on for a while until the next President comes along and changes things again. Back in 2004, George W Bush was also announcing a return to the Moon:

"Our third goal is to return to the moon by 2020, as the launching point for missions beyond. Beginning no later than 2008, we will send a series of robotic missions to the lunar surface to research and prepare for future human exploration. Using the Crew Exploration Vehicle, we will undertake extended human missions to the moon as early as 2015, with the goal of living and working there for increasingly extended periods. "

Next step: add recognition for foreign partition formats like HFS+ and ext4. Just recognition would be a great step, something along the lines of: hey we see there are partitions on this disk; are you sure you want to format this? This instead of: Do you want to format this disk?

I don't even expect that you can read or write to those partitions, which of course would be trivial to add for them. Just recognition would be great!
Isn’t that the same classic argument people use to claim we shouldn’t use money for space exploration? “We have all these problems...poverty, etc”
