Ah an interesting point about due process. I buy that.

Yes journalist integrity is a good term that I feel captures the scope of what we would like to discuss.

The benefits are captured by spending more on exclusionary rivalrous goods like land, education and healthcare.
They had a CDC disk pack type drive for the main filesystem (80 meg I think). I guess it is possible they bootstrapped it from a disk pack from another site with the same kind of drive, although that seems a little unlikely. Perhaps the interface was compatible with RL05, something like that. The machine did have multiple RK05s but I don't think they were used beyond boot and transferring data to other machines on campus.
Yeah, I found this an important aspect of the article. I don't know anything about the culture at NPM, but this feels related to the mismanagement of communication with consumers/the public about the incident itself. i.e., being secretive for no good reason.
Everything. Touchtyping is just not a focus in school any more. Teachers look funny at you when you ask when the kids start touchtyping. They are expected to figure it out themselves. Very funny.

Interesting... so they're noticeable.

Anyone around who has (access to) an iMac Pro and can comment on the fan noise?
Protecting data in the cloud (2013)
I think people who experience this should look at their development practices. Especially if you don't have a clear goal with what you are doing, you find that you don't have the time to do things properly (like reading code or documentation) or you are changing direction frequently. Chances are you are experiencing a lot of stress, which is one of the "best" ways to make people lose interest in other things.
Cars pull to the right by design, but assuming they didn't, shouldn't you get the tracking adjusted?
I'm not sure I understand your question (factors for what?), but I will make some comments that might answer your question.

- Yes, koi no yokan can affect both men and women, but I think it's more common to be identified as such with women feeling it towards men. My personal take is that men with marriage options tend to be more pragmatic when choosing a spouse versus being romantic. That said, I have heard a wider variety of voices from Japanese men than Japanese women (I am a man, so hearing honne/straight talk more frequently from other men is to be expected).

- I don't know if these values are more valued in Japan, but they are definitely more trusted by Japanese women. I've seen women dial in on guys with remarkably little information, and their intuition was completely correct. In general, the higher the psychological health of the woman experiencing koi no yokan, the more accurate the prediction. In contrast, I see women second guess themselves all the time in the US for what amounts to reasons that seem very frivolous or non-consequential.

- I don't think any of the characteristics I have listed are mainly or or exclusively the domain of introverts. Maybe I didn't understand your comment/question.

- As far as other factors go, I think I listed the main ones that I have heard. There may also be a more pragmatic side of things like "he will be a good provider" (remember that Japanese wives typically control the family finances) or "he comes from a good family" (i.e., probably a wealthy and/or powerful family that would facilitate social climbing). Note that these would probably be applied more to Japanese men than foreign men unless the foreigner is committed to living a Japanese lifestyle (this is actually quite rare and quite difficult to do -- 'patio11 has done this except his job is atypical for a Japanese person).

Let me know if you have more questions. I used to know a lot more about this topic, but my interests have moved towards more pragmatic (although perhaps less interesting) topics than the psychology of love.
I’m the same way - I have lots of side project ideas I’d love to use Go for but get that early Rails like productivity. I maintain a few Rails apps and now view many of the things I’ve done as hacks to work around the lack of concurrency (though that was just Rails’ reality in late 2000s).

Elixir is close to my ideal though I like static types and a better community around libs would be nice.
Indeed, one of the maxims of capability-based security is "don't try to prohibit what you can't prevent".
> The hardest UI problem in the leading modern capability OS, Sandstorm, is certainly the capability "powerbox."

Heh, I'm not sure I'd describe Sandstorm as "leading" anything right now, but thanks. :)

I think Sandstorm made the problem more difficult for itself by not just trying to solve this UI problem, but trying to do it in a way that can be integrated into existing codebases that were never designed with capabilities in mind. This is the really difficult part: dealing with legacy code. The powerbox itself is otherwise "just a picker", a fairly straightforward concept.

For example, the standard file-open dialog box in everyone's browser, when invoked from an upload button on a web site, is actually a powerbox: the web site itself is given no access to any files except the one that the user chooses, but the file-open dialog is able to see everything.

But imagine trying to graft this approach onto an existing native app, that is used to being able to read the hard drive directly and already has its own custom file picker UI built in. You have to convince the developers of that app to remove their nice custom UI and instead invoke the system's UI. Moreover, when they invoke the file picker, they now don't get back a file name, but rather an already-open file descriptor. So their code has to be adjusted to not expect a name. This could be hard, depending on how the code is organized: maybe it uses a bunch of libraries that expect to open a file by name, etc.

Sandstorm is trying to graft this model onto apps that are used to making HTTP API requests to each other directly.

We had designs figured out to make this work, and even make most of the process look like an OAuth request, so that existing OAuth-based apps might not need to change very much... some of this is implemented, but mostly we just didn't get there before running out of money. (I am still working on it in my spare time, though!)
> it's due to the key actually physically bouncing.

More precisely: it is due to the contacts bouncing, they don't close just once when they touch each other, they rebound and close again, this repeats a number of times before they finally settle.

That's rough. If it's any consolation, I was in the same boat. Hard not to enable when there are small people to look out for. I've only stopped enabling recently, but it seems to be working so far. I hope you can find something that works for you and your kid.
Anyone. I didn't learn to touch type and I'm about as fast as a touchtypist. Indeed, my typing speed went down when I started learning and because I didn't finish, hasn't really recovered since. 99% of programming is thinking and structuring though, so touch-typing isn't all that useful.

I've been meaning to set up a blog with hexojs for a few weeks now, and was seriously all set to install node and npm (don't do too much with node...), and start tinkering yesterday, and then I checked hacker news, and was like 'well sheeyit'...
Obviously. It's both a concerning detail about the company (why are they displaying probabilities to a level of accuracy they can't possibly claim) and an indication the reporter didn't do due diligence. They actually use it to claim the company must have sophisticated software to get that kind of accuracy!
I almost exclusively use left modifiers. I blame first person shooters.
That's kinda the problem: there are no non-profit, voice recognition DA's out there (presumably because voice recognition requires a lot of research and a ton of audio samples - I think, Mozilla tried to get into this?).

We got Google Now, Alexa, Siri and Cortana. Google Now and Alexa are obviously tied into an eco system that has one goal: engaging the user till he buys something. With Siri and Cortana its more like the old "lock the customer in (so he eventually buys more of our stuff)" thing.
Replying to your edit:

>If you have already made up your mind and are not willing to engage with any evidence that shows that you might be wrong, why do you engage in discourse at all?

This is a strong assumption, and one that is untrue. Just because I find your arguments uncompelling does not mean that I find all arguments uncompelling. I've handed out more than a few deltas on /r/changemyview, so I'm not saying this without some basis in reality.

It appears that you're making a veiled claim that I'm virtue signalling, and I object to that accusation.
Twitter connects me to my peers better than Facebook does, to be quite honest. Rotonde gives me more interesting artistic input than Facebook does, as well.
Looks like they don't allow comments on their blog posts??... I guess with good reason.
I use the right shift/ctrl/alt keys along with the keys under the left hand, and vice versa.
Do you really spend 1% of your programming time typing? I find that hard to believe.
How We Built Uber Engineering’s Highest Query per Second Service (2016)
I'm very happy I attended an optional touch type class in high-school (on typewriters, actually). My recommendation for kids would probably be to learn to touch type, on a better layout (eg dvorak, colemak, workman).

Either way, proper touch typing is more than typing fast, it's also about "sustainable typing": posture, strain, reducing rsi - as well as being free to copy (read text to type in, not having to look at the keyboard or the screen where typed text is displayed).

I've not met many people that proper touch type, even programmers. Even if being able to copy a page of example code from a magazine/book is a useful skill.
Actually I think it is worse with poor eye site. Blurry things look more blurry.

I was surprised by that point but perhaps they have multi monitor setup at significant distance away.
I'm surprised this isn't the first. But I guess this is a clear given. Everyone should learn to touch-type, it's so easy and gives your mind the freedom to concentrate on whatever it is you are trying to accomplish instead of finding characters on the keyboard.
As I said, it's one factor, and as harmegido said, it creates a movement towards big cities, but probably equally importantly, prevents movement to small cities, since if either partner gets a hot offer in a small town, it's much harder to accept if it means that the other partner's career opportunities are diminished.

On a personal note, it doesn't require a compiler and doable on any barebones Linux box. Of course, this assumes that setup conditions as described are satisfied.

The non-artistic remark is subjective--I'm imagining those with a strong inclination towards regular expressions should find this fairly straight forward.
> Also, the military cannot afford weapons programs it needs to compete with 'near-peer' threats such as China and Russia.

Defense spending by country (from Google):

Russia: $84.9 billion

China: $171.4 billion

US: $618.7 billion

If we can't compete with militaries that spend a fraction of what we spend, the problem isn't lack of funding, it's the people spending it. The military has an efficiency problem, not a funding problem.
Yes, but note more advanced capability systems go beyond that. You should not only be able to give a friend a copy of your key, but also be able to revoke their copy at any time, without also revoking your own copy or any other copies you gave out. You should also be able to set things up so that your friends' usage of the key is logged where you can see it. Your friend, OTOH, cannot see the logs of your use. But if your friend makes another copy to give to a third party, both you and your friend can see the logs of that third party's access. And if you revoke your friend's access, the third party is transitively revoked as well. That is to say, it's a tree.
"The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous. The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labor. A hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects. And its object is not victory over Eurasia or Eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact."

-George Orwell
How does open source make policy decisions more transparent to the majority of people? Are you assuming that everyone in the country can read and understand the code? I get why programmers and readers of Hacker News could be enchanted by this idea: government by code shifts the power from one set of elites (the wealthy/connected) to another (programmers with a specialized skill set that can read the code). But I'm unclear on how that benefits the nation as a whole.
The entire thing is that those who want this sort of thing are not interested in justice and welfare, they see politics as a way to enrich themselves.

Wouldn’t it be more cost effective to sell your iMac Pro, buy a monitor and pocket the difference? Surely a computer + monitor is more valuable than just used monitor.
You're describing ergonomics, not touch typing.
Sure, consider that the hashCode() of objects in Java are based on memory addresses, which means they’re predictable to an attacker without ASLR.
Congrats JS community on inventing the wheel.
In every context that I've seen it, ASLR is there to be annoying to circumvent instead of being the sole line of defense. Generally other techniques are present as well to mitigate the risk of such an attack.
Upgradability and serviceability is a big concern for a very niche market. If I ran a smaller shop, the iMac Pro would be a clean solution to a complex problem. But once you hit edit-bays at scale the technical problems exponentially grow. You also can't purchase every machine maxed out when you have to fine-tune a budget. We've often purchased almost all of our Macs without RAM to shave costs.

I'm personally holding out for the new Mac Pro specs to become public. A modular system is ideal in a large post-production facility. I have enough external peripherals and connections for 10GbE, fiber and SDI that attaching them all to an iMac is as much of a headache as anything. Especially when you're doing live productions and you have to swap out parts frequently.

Price is the least of my concerns though. If I can shave a lot off my budgets by upgrading RAM and GPU over time vs replacing entire machines, that's a big bonus. But I have more concerns with overheating in the iMac Pro than anything.

And the touch bar is useless to most of my editors and graphics team. If we could opt for a model without it, we would, every time...
Someone should grab the 100 most used packages which contain less than 30 lines of code, merge it into one package and call it 'npm standard library'.

Show HN: TopOfTheCoins.com – the “MillionDollarHomepage” of the crypto-era
Hey,

For those that haven't heard of it before, in 2005 a website was launched called http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/. The site took the internet by storm, became pretty iconic, and genuinely did raise > $1,000,000.

As part of my goal for 2018 to learn more about crypto, this Jan I launched a side project: https://www.topofthecoins.com/

You can post a message simply with an Ether transfer. The message that has the most Ether is the one that remains featured at the top of the site. It's amazing exposure for anyone posting a message, as we currently have thousands of tech and crypto enthusiasts visiting the site.

As of writing, the top message was posted for 0.00126ETH (<$2), which means if you post a message with any more than that, then your message will be featured at the top of the site (until someone else posts a message with more Ether)...

It's a bit of fun to learn about crypto stuff, but it's actually starting to take off, which is quite exciting. I don't expect it to match the success of Million Dollar Homepage, but I'll sure try...

Be good to hear everyone's thoughts.

Thanks,
Joe
> You can't actually derive any useful information from this anecdote alone.

Understood. I think the information I feel I can derive is this : with sufficient effort you can turn a "can't do math" person into one that can, modulo your theory that there are some "untransformable" people.

>I think we have very little data of what good teaching can do because it largely doesn't exist

True, although in the case of my kids' teachers I can immediately tell which of them has any real appreciation for Mathematics and it seems to correlate strongly with outcome. For example our schools like to hire English teachers to teach math in middle school. That doesn't seem to work out so well.
>We don’t discuss all of our security processes and technologies in specific detail for what should be obvious reasons, but here is a high-level overview

> they know internally and what they don't.

They know internally that they do a lot of things badly and this will result in more disasters for npm and JS communities, that's for sure. Check out how GitLab fixed their backup failure. They made new software for testing backups, they live-streamed their work on youtube, they made at least 2 write ups on this case. They were totally transparent about their mistakes and fixes, everyone applauded them for this. What did we get from npm?

while this is interesting, it would be good to know if the memorizing of other texts - say, the works of Shakespeare, or Encyclopedia britannica, would have a similar effect. It is perhaps not the mantras, but the act of memorization perhaps?
Really, I am more sensitive to non retina without glasses on since everything just gets more blurry.
Comcast and AT&T set data caps at 1 TB per month, knowing that we will all soon be doing much more traffic than that. Every year bandwidth requirements go up and it's accelerating.

Home internet access in the US went from unlimited usage to capped with $200 overage fees overnight.

We need an "Effective Sustained Rate" law that says something like:

If you sell internet access with a 1 terabyte cap, you have to market it as a 3 megabit connection. The effective sustained rate. Or preferably, just outlaw data caps entirely.
>By some accounts the Russian fb spend was under $100k

If true, that would indicate that these ads are dramatically under priced. If it was simply a matter of spending money on facebook, things will balance next election, as the price of those ads will go up dramatically

Of course, the fact that Clinton spent so much more on facebook and still lost the electoral college would indicate that if the facebook ad campaign was decisive, that it's more about how you use it than about what you pay Facebook; I would bet rather a lot that Facebook is spending a lot of effort right now to reverse engineer what the Russians did so they can sell it to their more wealthy clients.
For programming, I've found that my time spent navigating the code dominates the time I spend editing it. Bram's recommendation is to generate a tags file right away for every project to keep this time down, and it's excellent advice.

The problem with this, however, is that it's a pain to remember to generate and update the tags database. Thankfully, you can configure Git so that it builds a tags database for you automatically whenever you clone a repo, and updates it in the background every time you commit, pull, or push.
