Worth dropping a link to this Joel Spolsky article, where he discusses this concept and talks about the fact that the Excel team (in the 1990s) had their own c compiler:

Isn't 3DSecure like this? If properly implemented (a giant if, there), the query to the payment provider would happen using client-side Javascript, so your credit card data doesn't touch the shop's server. Then a 3DSecure window from your bank pops up so you can confirm the payment.

The alternative, telling the user to manually go to their bank and generate
a token for amount X, would lead to so many people not bothering, and to so many lost sales. Or copy-paste errors, because users are dumb.
Good point. It's not really relevant for local variables I guess, because those caches are invalidated quite elegantly (you'll still find cases Im sure where the programmer took that too far). I dont have all the cases in mind but, for example, storing results in object members is common and more often than not, detrimental. Also, there is the events. Events are a caching mechanism as well. They are an optimisation and they are evil. Now don't get me wrong, if you have a bottleneck, events can be a great optimisation.

The whole point being, FRP, while having some cool features, is mostly fixing bad programming practices.
Clearly not enough people considered that it'd leak information, but awareness of it was sufficient that most mail providers and large portals had redirect servers to "clean" URLs of meaningful referrers from their pages already by 2000 or before.

So I agree it's probably an issue that people still don't understand this, but it's not a new issue, and there's really no excuse for not knowing this.
You can get longitude without a clock, via lunar distances. It's just not an easy method, and didn't really become practical until the Nautical Almanac provided the requisite tables, not long before the first proper marine chronometers came into use.

But people often forget how much mathematical training was needed to navigate in the age of sail.

In what sense are you claiming advertising is negative sum? Who is meant to come out behind? The business buying advertising is ahead, the ad company is ahead and the consumer has something they decided they wanted. I see a lot of ads that are a mild waste of time because what they are selling isn't something that I'm buying, but that isn't negative sum. They are usually present in the context of free or subsidiesed services.

Advertising isn't a crazy form of mind control where people are hypnotised into handing over money. Sure that might happen, but the vast majority of people I've met don't know they have a problem until it is pointed out to them.

For example, in '07 I didn't find out about smartphones by word of mouth. I found out because Apple put a lot of effort into some very effective marketing. And there is pretty good evidence that the advertising industry is one facet of a larger apparatus developed to make sure that messages make it to the local word-of-mouth circles.

I had an idea a while back around inverting the interview/recruitment process, but a lack of resource/willpower/ability means I won't ever follow through with it. Regardless, I like the idea of it.

If a third-party recruiter is involved, they will get in contact with a developer that they deem to be sellable. Once they've got his/her details, they'll pass them on to an employer, who will then interview them for the role.

The flaws with this approach are:

1. The recruiter doesn't know if you're any good or not. They probably don't care, but a good developer can be sold for a high commission.

2. The interviewee has to interview when it is convenient for the employer

3. The employer has to run a ton of interviews to find a viable candidate, and (probably) come up with a proper interview process to replace their crappy one.

If, instead of having a skills-based interview with the employer, you had one with the recruiter, who would only take you on as a client if you matches a certain level of skill/talent, in theory everyone's problems are solved.

Recruiter: Adds real value to the developer, can sell a provable talent to a company quickly, and ideally with no worry about commission being lost by an employer rejecting an obvious dud.

Developer: Gets to "interview" whenever is convenient for them. Can be evaluated in multiple ways (take home test, face-to-face interview, etc), and can be given real technical feedback as the interview is not for employment, but to sign up for a service.

Employer: Can hold a shorter interview process, and get someone in quickly.

In terms of actual technical interviews, there are so many different ways of doing them that all I ever really want from an employer is some heads-up on what I'll be asked. Interviews are convenient at the best of times, so if I'm going to try and make time when I should be working I want to at least be prepared for the experience.

That Elon Musk can sell $10M worth of something as silly as flamethrowers, should be a sign of worry for car manufacturers. The cult surrounding Elon Musk is second to none in the auto world.

It seems like you’re at a crossroads now, but trust me, you’re not. You are at the very beginning of your career. The best thing you can do is learn and absorb as much as you can.

My advice is to take a breadth of classes and see what you like the most. Learning is easier and more effective when you are excited about the subject. Prioritize finding your passion, and everything will follow. Stay calm and don’t stress; you’ll be fine.

Also, don’t neglect the fun parts of college. Make lots of friends, experience life together. You’ll never have a chance to meet as many interesting people as you do in college, and many of them will be your friends for life. My CS education was valuable, yes. But what I remember from college is not nights doing homework; it’s the time I spent with friends, and athletics. Not only that, but in the four years since college, every career opportunity I’ve had has been a result of connections made in school.

Get the work done, learn a lot, and get to know as many people as you can.
Indeed - the theory, that cancer is in fact the primordial default (grow and keep growing) and ordered growth is something that came later springs to mind.
How does that work, accounting-wise? Isn't re-invested capital coming out of profits by definition? Otherwise a company could just "re-invest" all their would-be profit into gold (or some other store of value) and claim to have made zero profit. I don't think the IRS would be too happy about that.

Michael Bedford Taylor misrepresents the most important aspect of these "ASIC clouds" and the bitcoin algorithm; the puzzle of the algorithm is incredibly simple. Every implementation of a Bitcoin miner simply generates a bunch of random guesses to the hash equation.

On page 60, graph (a) Professor Taylor uses distorted manipulative log charts for finance.

The chart on page 61 is the most insanely manipulative chart I could ever imagine to represent the history and progression of Bitcoin mining in relation to hardware speed.

Try charting

watts per block over time.

ROI in BTC for a core i5 over time

newly minted coins per user over time

Michael also doesn't understand or chooses to misinform the reader and the journal about "computational demand scaling with the number of users"

The Bitcoin network grows increasingly inefficient with any additional computer hash power added, and as more users use it, it clogs due to limited bandwidth and inefficiencies of the algorithm. Additional hardware speed does nothing to scale with network growth, actually the complete opposite occurs as it requires more (energy, computer resources) to do the same thing (transactions) per second for less (rewards per user). The result of all these aspects point towards a system of rules that exploits new, uninformed users to benefit "early adopters".

Sad but not surprising to realize this guy is a professor at the University of Washington.

Is Michael Bedford Taylor promoting something here through intentional misdirection and omission of basic facts to manipulate readers?

Would Professor Michael Bedford Taylor be under a conflict of interest if he sells Bitcoins?

Don't worry, the cookie warnings (actually third-party tracking warnings) will soon (May) become not useless at all.

From May on sites have to offer yes/no, they may only track you if you choose yes, and if you choose no they may not ask again, and may not refuse access either.

Which is what was originally intended all this time, and which all good websites offered anyway.

There's no comprehensive list of guidelines; if there were, people would start doing all the things not listed. But if you just stick to straightforward description you should be fine. As a bonus, that's what HN readers tend greatly to prefer, and it leaves plenty of room for creativity.

The visual gimmick thing comes up every month but really isn't fair to the other users posting here.

By gunk I meant fluffy comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16285856, which don't really belong on HN. They wouldn't be harmful if there were just one or two, but they tend to proliferate to the point where the site would be smothered by fluff if we let it. And the Who Is Hiring thread is a particularly bad place for them.

That's weird cause I actually find the X the grippiest iPhone I've had yet. My biggest complaint about the iPhone 6-7 was that it would slip out of my hand all the time.

I had an issue with my paypal account in Australia where they thought it was ok to pull money out of my credit card when it expired. This failed of course and so they decided to just put me into a negative balance. They never emailed me until about a year later when they threatened to send debt collectors... so I added my singapore credit card. However I couldn’t. It would fail to accept the card. Support told me that my card was stolen because I’m using a singapore card on an Australian account. In the end not having an Aussie bank account or card I was forced to open a new singapore account, send money to the old account. Then close both accounts...
If I can then keep the lock indefinitely, I don't see much of a downside.
Probably not, but what you could try to do is to transfer data in such a way that people would ignore the sounds because they thought the sounds were not data being transmitted.

Make it sound like birdsong in the presence of other birds, make it sound like fragments of human speech when there are people present, make it sound like fan noise in a DC and so on.
As with any business the first aspect to think about is your market and the niche in that market you want to address.

Software training comes in many flavours some of which are:

- teaching CS and programming basics to children

- the same for adults

- developer bootcamps

- hackathons

- workshops: Teaching and coaching software professionals in terms of specific technologies

I have some experience with the last one. With workshops typically your customers aren't the individuals coming to the event but companies paying for their employees being taught a new skill or technology. So, in this case you're basically doing enterprise sales (with somewhat shorter sales cycles though).

Don't charge for your time but rather per participant. In this case you provide a service to professionals and / or the companies that employ them. Therefore you can generally charge higher prices. The exact price of course depends on the course topic. Keep in mind though that in this setting you have to pay for expenses for the venue and catering as well. So, basically: Charge more.

As for tips on making the training a success there's a lot to talk about but here are some basic tips:

- Obviously, be well-prepared.

- Be at the location at least half an hour early. Make sure all the required equipment is available and working with your laptop. The same applies to WiFi / Internet connectivity.

- Having assignments for each lesson allowing you to apply what you've just learned is vital to understanding and internalising new knowledge.

- Try to devote sufficient time to each participant individually and to those who're slower than average in particular.

- 10 people in my experience is the reasonable upper boundary for participants a single trainer can handle without neglecting some of the participants.

- A classroom tool for managing students, tasks and course material is really helpful.
