Good point. I see what you're saying and I was definitely not suggesting that. I was speaking mainly from a web application perspective, where program execution on the server is very low on the list of items affecting application speed as perceived by the end-user.

Scientific computing, on the other hand, is a completely different animal.

I have around 550 tracks in my library. Last time I had to do it, it took me a few days of after-hours work. More time was spent trying to avoid actually doing manual copying by trying out different software tools than in just doing it the hard way. I won't make that mistake next time.

I was hating life at the time, but after it was all said and done I didn't consider the hassle worth the drastic step of switching platforms.

I have a much, much, much larger library of tracks that I don't keep in active rotation. Apple's inability to provide me with a reliable way to keep those two libraries separate is the source of my frustration.

I've considered stopping buying iPhones, but the user experience of Android phones is just nowhere close. Polish matters in a small, complicated device.

I may have to eventually because I don't use MacBooks anymore. After spilling liquid on one twice in a year I decided I needed to wean myself off of them. I thoroughly love MacBooks, but developing the habits to use one safely has eluded me. Without a OSX device, music management on an iPhone is truly impossible. As it is right now, I will need to use my work machine in order to move my library next time.

If I really have to, I suppose I could acquire a Mac Mini.
I'm surprised no-one has mentioned "financial independence" yet. Check out the subreddit: http://reddit.com/r/financialindependence, and the blog called Mr. Money Mustache: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/

> I don't really have the technical knowledge to evaluate it myself, and I suspect 99% of the people in HN are in the same position. Therefore, if I were to say "Signal's security is excellent" I would be falling for the cult of Moxie myself, not an informed opinion.

Sure, but that's not what's happening when people whose day-to-day involve applied cryptography and/or application security are commenting on MTProto and Telegram.

Here's a good read on why Telegram's "contest", which is a challenge meant to create the illusion of resilience, is totally bogus in the context of real-world cryptography: http://www.cryptofails.com/post/70546720222/telegrams-crypta...

The things that the Signal Protocol does well:

1. It maximizes forward secrecy,

2. while working for mobile devices that may be offline or unreachable,

3. and uses authenticated encryption.

Why would Facebook by trying to thwart the open Signal protocol that they are already using? In a standards discussion like IETF, wouldn't they be more likely to specify Signal interoperability (i.e. Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp interoperability) as a requirement on any proposed standard? That would be good for Signal.
Once he started doing it, everything in his life declined. He stopped having healthy relationships with his siblings and his friends at school. He started to be much more angry and even sometimes violent, and when we examine the situations in detail, we see that none of it is justified, and he's always the one saying everyone is out to get him when he is actually the one doing wrong. He's become a lot more arrogant and a lot more reserved at school and obnoxious at home. His grades at school declined sharply. He's developing a narcissistic personality, and won't participate in things that he doesn't personally see any value or benefit in, even when everyone around him tries to convince him it's a good or worthwhile activity. Overall he's declining in mental and emotional health.

True. I didn't have much experience with the Mac back in the Mac OS classic era, but that was one thing I found very annoying coming from the Windows side. While it took a while to get the Dock right in OS X, it was a big improvement over the previous Mac UI.
There is a stigma also in the USA, but mostly amoung the upper middle class and up. The trend of 'vintage' clothing tore through the stigma to a large degree in the last few decades I think. There is now a positive 'hipster' appeal to reusing or repurposing things, as well as 'they dont make it like that anymore' sentiment.

Many people born poor, now take perverse pride in procuring sneakers they didn't get as a kid, and collect them, often at a high cost. Staying 'clean' in a dirty area is almost always a popular signifier of 'class'.
Well I never.
I diagree. Phones only go up to about $900. But watches go up to the tens of thousands.

Laptops only go up to about what, $5k or so? But jackets go up way more.

Tech is more of a "as a bare minimum, I need to have the top of the line." Additionally, increased expenditure on tech does actually give increased utility in the form of performance. (even though it's reduced bang for buck).

However, a $50,000 watch doesn't tell time any better than a simple Casio. An $8,000 jacket doesn't keep you any warmer than a $200 one.

The whole point of demonstrating wealth is to spend money on impractical things. You're demonstrating that you have money to literally waste.

That would be terrible! I rely on the deterministic behavior of PRNGs all the time. For instance, I often generate random test vectors. If I have a failure, I want it to be reproducible so I can fix it. And it is, as long as I supply the same seed.
It is not.

Windows 3.0 didn't have any standard system dialogs, these were introduced in 3.1, but that is not the main point. In Windows 3.1 the directory selection dialog was exactly the same as file open/save dialog (Figure 8 in the article) but didn't let you to choose files (and there are still places in windows where standard open dialog is used for choosing directory).

What is typically used as "standard directory selection dialog" actually isn't even documented standard WinAPI dialog, but originally internal dialog of the explorer shell (and it would not surprise me it it was not present in original Windows 95 RTM but introduced in some slightly later version), also it does not select directories (ie. pathname as string), but shell folders (ie. ITEMIDLIST).
It's illegal. But yeah I personally don't understand this reaction.

Well astrophysicists are asking questions too, so it doesn't seem that information has been disseminated well:

I realize deep space collision risk is very low. I saw a talk with Alan Stern about New Horizons where he answers someone's question about collision avoidance in the asteroid belt that on a trip out to Pluto you are unlikely to encounter anything larger than a grain of sand. But rather than acting annoyed with the person who questioned him, he answered the question well, and I still remember his answer. And let use not forget that space exploration has ethically questionable choices and "improbable" events occur in the past (e.g., Laika, artificial radiation belts from nukes, debris from an RF reflecting foil cloud).
Most of the time, I see the puritanical christians going the route of "sex is evil". It's the unsaid thing as well, but they are also the ones pushing for "abstinence-only training". This is literally dumbing down discourse to students at an age who sorely needs it.

I'd also be willing to bet that this family has no compunctions about letting the son watch extreme violent TV shows and movies. People being tortured, maimed, and killed is usually OK. Show a nipple, and people lose their shit.

> They do encrypt group messages to their servers, just not E2E.

Transport-layer encryption that leaves messages totally readable to the service operator should not be classified as "they do encrypt". It muddies the water and will confuse users.

For the sake of communicating risk effectively, only E2E should count when we talk about encryption. Lack of transport-layer security (TLS, Noise, etc.) simply demonstrates severe negligence and/or incompetence.

> I'm not offering security advice.

Above you said:

> WhatsApp had a severe vulnerability for groups disclosed not so long ago. Telegram has had no such vulnerabilities as far as I'm aware.

A casual observer might read this and think, "Wow, WhatsApp is vulnerable and Telegram isn't. I should use Telegram" despite being even more at risk by choosing Telegram.

Whether it was your intention or not, it will have the same effect on HN readers as formal security advice from any other commenter.
As a theoretical matter, it's not even close; WhatsApp's Signal Protocol is literally decades more sophisticated than Telegram's, which traces back to just after the phlogiston era of cryptography. No practicing cryptographer or crypto engineer would ever select Telegram's protocol over WhatsApp's.

As a practical matter, it's even starker. WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted by default, forward secure so that losing your phone doesn't let adversaries retroactively decrypt sniffed messages, and, most importantly, encrypted for groups.

Telegram's messages are plaintext by default --- you have to opt conversations in to encryption! --- and don't encrypt group messages at all. Telegram plays a sneaky game where they tell users that all messages are encrypted because they use TLS. But, of course, so was AOL Instant Messenger.
You're doing that HN thing where someone cherry-picks a couple of segments from the article, wraps them in a bit of leading commentary, and pastes it at the top of the comments for everyone who skipped reading the piece to attach their agreement to.
Absolutely, but its arguably 10 years too late. Node has already eaten python's lunch in the server space. To get your existing python code working on async you may basically need a full rewrite including any libraries that you pulled in. At that point most companies ask themselves if python is really the right language to conduct a rewrite in.
Here's what we tell our kids:

You watch an action movie because it's exciting, it's thrilling, and things explode. Basically, everything is carefully managed or faked to give you the feeling that everything is amazingly awesome.

Porn is just like an action movie, only it's about sex instead of guns and martial arts. It's fun, but it usually has very little to do with real sex.
Why not both? Let your SO be the only one who pleases you on this level, physically, mentally and emotionally. Ignore those voices that try to tell you that you can't be happy without these old ways of pleasing yourself. Your relationship will improve 100x, I speak from experience.
For obvious reasons, it is always worth the extra drive to thrift shop in a wealthier area. They give away the best stuff in unused condition.
You jest but absolutely every fractious argument I have starts with the words, “You always […]”, every such argument quickly turns sours, and inevitably without fail leads to me becoming depressed.

For the love of God is it so difficult to say, “You nearly always […]” or “You almost always “…”] or some non-absolutist variant? Are all the people I argue with mentally unwell?
The word "entire" is in the list too.
I disagree that OSX completely beats Windows GUI in all areas. I find Windows' window manager, Explorer and taskbar more usable and capable than the Mac equivalents. Not to mention everything is more configurable, after many years using OSX I still get confused with the unchangeable, low contrast, light-grey on top of light-grey, window theme where you can't tell which window has focus. Also miss on OSX how you can tab over to everything in Windows without having to use your mouse.
True, but by that time it won't be our science, it will be descendants-of-our-dolphins' science. Or aliens-from-outer-space science.

Seriously, the only way I can see humanity not getting to Mars before the Roadster is if we completely fail as a species.
By that definition, AOL Instant Messenger was encrypted too, just not E2E.

It's fine not to keep up with this stuff and not to have solid answers for basic questions about it. I just think you should use a lot more question marks when you write about it.
The article doesn't simply say it's deterministic but the seed doesn't change.
That's the descriptivist view anyway.
It is neither, devDependencies is a redundant distinction for projects where a module bundler is involved, like Webpack, since there's no scenario where you wouldn't want to pull these dependencies.

What's wrong with introducing biological material to mars? I am so confused as to the rational here. Is it just so some scientists can get the glory of saying the discovered life on Mars and we're sure it's not from earth? What is the practical value of that anyway except some scientist's vanity?
Understanding if any organisms can appear, evolve, be brought by asteroids and survive Mars conditions is probably even more important for terraforming than polluting the experiment with Earth's lifeforms.
Is there a license limit with Libby? I'm currently using Overdrive, but I usually have to wait for popular audiobooks to come available because they only have a few licenses allowed to be "checked out" at a single time.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily the thing to do, but there is a chance that it forms an addiction and/or bad habits which life might be more enjoyable without. I don't prescribe to the "porn is evil" mantra, but that doesn't mean it can't do harm.

There are whole comminutes of people who are trying to recover from porn addiction because of the way it had negatively affected their lives. See /r/nofap and yourbrainonporn.com.

If you've never been negatively affected by it, good for you. I can see why you be skeptical that it could do harm to anyone. Most people rely on their own anecdotal experience to form their opinions. But keep an open mind, not everyone responds the same way to these things.

I don't blame parents for trying to look out for their children. They just need to make sure they're doing it in a sane, reasonable way.
When I first read the grandparent post, I thought it was a deliberate choice of words to denigrate "the cloud" but the fact that it's the accidental result of an overzealous browser extension in a thread talking about dysfunctional technologies makes this incredibly funny.

Actually, the real risk is that, by entering in contact with Earth biology, some forms of life incorporate them and develop in a toxic way.

The closest equivalent is inter-species infections, like the Avian or the Porcine flus. Having humans near unhealthy ducks or pigs constantly means mutated strains have a higher chance of carrying dangerous behaviour from one species to another.

There are a lot more to say around bio-chemistry basins, carbon-based vs silicon-based (or another compound) — but the idea is not exclusively to protect life there.
Quit porn for sure.

2. Facebook's interests in the standard are not necessarily what drives the standard; Facebook can just be along for the ride.

I think what's going to happen with this is what happens to all de novo IETF designs other than TLS, the one that the market requires actually work: it's going to fail. That's also the outcome that I'm hoping for.

In the meantime, if Millican wants to get together with Katriel Cohn-Gordon and do a Facebook-only ART protocol design for Facebook Messenger, with an eye towards replacing Signal Protocol in WhatsApp, that would be a great development. So would a Cisco-only ART messenger, or maybe even a Mozilla ART messenger (though Mozilla's motives are the ones I trust least here).

What does not make sense is for a protocol whose service model we barely understand even in theory to be designed from scratch in an open standards group. The IETF motto used to be "loose consensus and working code". Now it's "take an RWC paper, add the P-curves to it, and use it to fuck over the most successful secure messaging protocol".

We shouldn't be cheerleading this. It's capture, not progress.

The suit is dead except explicitly formal occasions. The global financial crisis killed it. Basically every person commuting securities fraud in the oughts did so while wearing a suit. Think about who you now see wearing suits - bankers, salesmen, and politicians. Occupations that trigger a range of responses from general mistrust to downright loathing.

Suits have become a liar's uniform. Whenever I encounter anyone in this mode of dress who isn't an obvious dandy, I'm immediately on the watch for tactics to squeeze as much money out of me as possible.

This leaves business casual and casual. As the article points out, most of those haven't seen substantial change for years. People don't get rid of clothes these days because they're out of style. Given these trends, it would amaze me if clothing sales weren't down substantially.

What really concerns me about Mark Zuckerberg is his sister, Randi Zuckerberg. She has to be one of the least intelligent (for a Harvard grad), most entitled, narcissistic people I’ve ever seen.

I felt bad writing that about her, but Randi Zuckerberg desperately wants to be famous and popular and keeps putting herself out there, hence her radio show and book.

If you have a chance to look at her book, which is available for rock bottom prices on Amazon, it’s absolutely awful, full of cliches, and weirdly enough, lots of toilet humor.

Randi Zuckerberg scares the hell out of me.

EDIT: just saw this quote from the article. It’s almost Shakespearean in what a tragedy Facebook has become and sums up our era quite nicely:
