Maybe C simply has become a modern replacement for assembly language? (before LLVM)

C is/was a target for some other compilers to emit simply because, prior to LLVM, it was a sort of universal assembly language with a rich set of implementations on any conceivable hardware.

In the 21st century, is C really being used as a higher level application programming language? I doubt it. That is why so many languages exist at a much higher level of abstraction. Yet C is great close to the hardware, like micro controllers, operating systems, device drivers, codecs, other specialty high performance libraries.

Ask HN: Thoughts on a website-embeddable, credential validating service?
Reading Troy Hunt's password release V2 blog post [0], I came across the NIST recommendation to prevent users from creating accounts with passwords discovered in data breaches. This got me thinking: would a website admin (ex. small business owner with a custom website) benefit from a service that validates user passwords? The idea is to create a registration iframe with forms for email, password, etc., which would check hashed credentials against a database of data from breaches. Additionally, client-side validation would enforce rules recommended by the NIST's Digital Identity Guidelines [1], which would relieve admins from implementing their own rules. I'm sure there are additional security features that can be added.

1. Have you seen a need for this type of service, and could you see this being adopted at all?

2. Do you know of a service like this? I've looked, no hits so far.

3. Does the architecture seem sound?

That seems a pretty common pattern for the semi-rural New England area I live in as well. I lock the house at night or if I'm headed out for an extended period but I don't really worry about it. If the house is all opened up on a summer day I'm not going to shut everything up if I'm going out for a bit and certainly not if I'm around my property somewhere.
I've been slowly creeping towards downvoting for the better part of 2 years as I comment very infrequently. I imagine it'll be anticlimactic once I get there, but it's relatively exciting to be so close—it's the last frontier of Hacker News-ing.
I think your sprint rep sold you a line of bullshit - there was likely a configuration issue with your account.

Sprint must have rolled out IPv6 in the last six months or so.
Nice, I might have to look into them. I believe I did I couple months ago and they had a long waiting period or a freeze on new accounts or something like that.
> It's not a productivity boost for someone who knows (or is willing to learn) .NET or Qt.

You do not understand what a productivity boost is if you think learning a totally new language and framework is a better choice than using the tools already available.

But also if your logic were correct, we'd all still be writing C.
Cryptocurrency has always been catching up rather than ahead of the game in the speculation stupidity arena. I always have a good time when I read /r/wallstreetbets (even though they're pretty self-aware, it can still be hilarious).
Tesla's autopilot function is horribly named and not at all identical to plane autopilot.

Modern autopilots are actually fully capable of handling takeoff, flight, and landing without interaction from the pilot. However, pilots continue to handle takeoff and landing procedures to maintain skills in those areas as generally an autopilot failure during those times would not be recoverable.
I don’t know about most things - but what I do know, almost never matches what is reported. In this case, it’s pretty minor; as others said, probably not even the journalist fault (article was good), but an over-eager editor making a click-baity headline.

However, do we allow journalists to disclaim all responsibility for ensuring their good work isn’t sullied by salacious editors? I’d be pissed off,and perhaps they were.

Let’s just leave it at that - we are the dumb slobs left to clean up the mess when our family and friends are misled about the state of reality by editors/journalists muddying reality...
A wildly speculative investment in an era of really low (in fact somewhat negative) interest rates? I mean we have a global asset bubble in general, it's not surprising that some of it is spilling into new and untested stores of value, i suppose.

I agree that current crypto-currency ecosystems are pretty insane, but the original idea was super-cool.
It's a lot better now after the recent upgrade. It also remains the only usable option for CAD funds.

It would be nice if there was a comparison to other GPUs, or even a cost/efficiency comparison.
My driver has had to catch the wheel on more than one occasion. When we’re in the carpool lane and the lane opens up for others cars to merge in the autopilot doesn’t see the edge of the lane and so starts swerving into the other lane. Also we did a trip to lax from San Diego and the dividers come pretty close to the edge of the lane, we were always little nervous the car was going to hit it. Overall it rides so smoothly but those few glitches make me quite nervous sometimes. It is kind of surreal to be riding in an almost self driving car. Tesla is taking steps to add safety features. Lately my driver sped up to overtake a car and the autopilot disengaged and wouldn’t re engage until we put it on park.
To further elaborate on 2, it solves the problem of maintaining loose version ranges in your requirements.txt file, but keeping the versions pinned when you deploy. For example if you put `foo>=2` in your requirements.txt, this is dangerous without some way of pinning e.g. `foo==2.18.2` and running your tests against that before you deploy. But you obviously don't want to manually edit requirements.txt with minor version numbers every time you update. In the past I've maintained a separate file with loose versions and then updated packages with

pip install -r requirements-to-freeze.txt --upgrade && pip freeze -l -r requirements-to-freeze.txt > requirements.txt

Pipenv makes this much nicer.
Only when your needs align with theirs. Which, truth be told, is fairly common. But they have a tendency to ignore or give low priority to other people's needs, like certain features that don't meet "Facebook scale" or, just, documentation (see: Relay).
I mean... if you want to be really pedantic, there are technically some silver linings. But the disadvantages outweigh that stretch of a silver lining by so many orders of magnitude that it's almost insulting.

It would be like telling a mugging victim: "Hey, at least now you can justify buying a new purse!"
I'd say the logical disconnect is the idea that we should charge for digital goods after they are already made. The costs to duplicate digital goods are so low that they should be treated as free.
Although I mostly use the system's numpy package (usually shipped with the distribution), I just tried installing it via pip and had no problem (obviously just one data point).

I really like conda. It is easy to have multiple enviroments and minimizes the footprint by symbolically linking in what is needed.
A useful hybrid is possible and useful in some circumstances: conservative scan for roots, which point into a precisely traced heap.
A few years ago Anaconda helped overcome install issues with some packages, but I almost never run into those problems anymore.

One thing to be aware of is that Anaconda modifies various Jupyter configs / installs some of its own kernels. So it can be a hassle to get back to system python + plain jupyter.

HN has an illogical aversion to anything DRM. This particular case is harmful to anyone producing digital good (apps, music, movies, blogs, etc).
Let's understand this really damaging verdict by using an app as an example.
1. Disney puts out an app that can either be bought as a disk at Walmart or as a download on the app store
2. A third party app store that doesn't have a re-seller/partner agreement with Disney buys a disk, and claims that the legal purchase of the disk now entitles it to re-distribute the app as it deems fit, including selling DIGITAL copies of the app on it's own app store.
Does this seem logical or fair to you guys?

Totally. They did what anyone can do, at scale, and calling them “third party App Store” really changes nothing. They have no agreement with Disney and so pay retail for their product and don’t get pre-releases. Fair.

The logical fallacy here is in equating the third-party app store to a regular end-user. Additionally, the third-party app store selling the app digitally is equivalent to Spotify streaming content it hasn't licensed under the guise of owning CDs of the said content.

Not even a little. It would be like Spotify buying physical media and selling one copy of it digitally to one person per purchase.

This is wrong and dangerous for the digital economy. If this verdict holds, I should be able to buy MP3s off iTunes and "rent" it to whom-so-ever I want!!

Yep. Next you’ll tell me that mix tapes and bootlegs were killing physical media.

And lest you forget, piracy is always out there waiting for people like you to put ineffective hurdles in front of fair use.
If they went IPv6 only and didn't implement NAT64 at the same time, then someone is going to be fired--probably the CEO.

Mobile users won't notice because their IPv4 addresses were NATted anyway, and the phone stacks make it harder for app developers to screw up the v6 support. The v6 switchover should be mostly invisible to the users.
Wait, I'm confused. Airbnb is part of the "sharing" economy, right? So mostly people renting out their home whilst briefly away.

And they don't have a drying rack? Something doesn't fit.
If you had used this feature on a Tesla you would understand.

Cruise ranks 0 (it gets out the way) but the Telsa ranks -5. (actually dangerous to use).

The Tesla dealership literally recommended leaving the feature turned off.
AFAIK, Sprint offers 464XLAT on their IPv6 network, the same as T-Mobile. This uses a CLAT on your side to translate IPv4 to IPv6, then a PLAT on the Sprint side to translate back from IPv6 to IPv4. Allowing IPv4-only apps to work over the carrier's NAT64/DNS64.

It sounds like you might have a broken CLAT implementation.
Why? What NPM can achieve but pip cannot? You can export requirements.txt easily. NPM downloads some many seemingly useless stuff, makes the node_modules directory so bloated, pip is like a breeze in comparison to that.
Good viewing area up the road past the main gate. There are instructions online to find it:

“There are two viewing areas for launches at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB).
* Weather Station: The public viewing site for Vandenberg launches is off of Corral Road near Vandenberg's main gate. To access the area, take Highway 1 to the Santa Maria Gate and proceed on Lompoc Casmalia Road. At the barriers, turn right onto Corral Road and bear left to the top. The launch countdown net and port-o-lets are set up near the bleachers.”
> You cannot downvote comments which are direct replies to your own

Update: my apologies, seems that I'm wrong. The quoted statement is correct. I'm sure I saw a downvote arrow there once, though (but that was in 2017, haha)

Old comment: Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think one can - they just need to click "N minutes ago" permalink to see the down arrow. Maybe it doesn't affect the score or just cosmetic, but IIRC it's recorded and persists. Unless this was changed recently - can't check (but I swear I saw it there!)
The captcha tends to be during signup, not just any general request. Otherwise third party clients wouldn't work at all. So there isn't any "account" with 95% failure, only IP addresses that fit that. However, spreading requests to multiple IP addresses can help get around that, and botnet rental is pretty cheap these days (cheaper than the captcha prices that have been quoted).
I think you mean objectively not subjectively.

In any case, looking back that 8 weeks and comparing to now, _after you've just been through 4 weeks of hell_, you'll report that you're feeling a lot better, even if you've only returned to the same level you were before starting the meds.

Are there studies that use family/etc as the basis for their data? That would be a lot more valuable, as long as they also include a control.

The studies also need to look a lot longer than 8-12 weeks, partly due to the onset side effects, but also as a lot of depression is caused by a stress event that passes and resolves in a few months. It is interesting that a placebo has a positive effect (not as large as the meds); I wonder if they measured the effect of no treatment at all.
Where does that royalty payment come from out of curiosity? Like does it come out of the money that might go to the person who created and posted the video that used it?

It would be very interesting to run our sample with Timers on this GC. In that paper I found a link to their implementation, but unfortunately it is unavailable.
Why leave a review at all if you're not going to be honest?
No - there's ZERO logic in selling items as a function of the cost of creation or distribution. Pricing has everything to do with the VALUE it offers customers versus the cost that it takes to create it!!
No, it's pretty much the same as you remember it. Using docker instead of just a normal virtualenv is overkill.
Docker is SLOW to build the image. Virtualenv is great for development.
Yes - but then again, I don't have that many projects and I tend to use the same libraries across them anyway.

Installing on another machine is just a matter of pip install -r requirements.txt, if it's for a dev. other wise it's just a docker run ....

I do know that most Python devs use virtualenv, I just never understood what all the fuss is about. Of course I don't mind if the others in team use it, I just never saw the appeal so I'm curious what other peoples' reasons are.

Maybe I don't see the need because I came to Python quite late, a little before Docker came around, and we were early adopters for Docker. So we solved testing and production with Docker (and thus never needed to support multiple Python versions in parallel). It's really one of those small mysteries I don't understand. :)
Nowhere in antitrust law do the arbitrary distinctions you’re trying to make exist.
Yes, but the advertising and image of the app is what people like me take issue with. They trivialize the other important parts of investing.
But all systems using radio frequencies would be susceptible to jamming. There are alternative GPS systems from Russia, China, and the EU now, no? I suppose the more such systems, the harder for an adversary to jam them all. Of course, some of those are run by potential adversaries, so there's that.

You really need inertial guidance and/or terrain recognition (as the Tomahawks used to do back in 1990) as a fallback.
Can anyone speak to how likely it is a case like this will succeed? It seems like abuse of the court system has become more rampant, especially with the emergence of patent trolls.

How often are people able to recuperate expenses incurred while defending against a frivolous suit? How much additional legal work is required to actually seek reparations like this? Is it judged as part of the original case, or is it a separate lawsuit?
Same. I got really excited when I opened the app and saw the update. Then I read the fine print and alas it was just pricing data for alts. I would dump binance in a heart beat if I could buy alts on Robinhood or coinbase :(
Tons. This happens all the time. Equity grants take months.

The author states:

>"Overseas users of Facebook are using the social platform on phones that are usually pre-paid phones and don’t have as much personalized information available from third party sources to create profiles."

Could someone say why "pre-paid phone don’t have as much personalized information available from third party sources"?

Also what are these "third party sources", who would these be in the EU/US? The carriers?

So far every single reply to my comment was about how things could go bad, without anything currently bad.

In the presence of all the tracking that people rail against, there are so few actual harms that everyone invents an issue.

I think this is telling.
Do you have a link to documentation? I have the pokcetCHI@ and the laptop, and would be interested in giving this a go.
I grew up in a town in Morris County, NJ and our house was never locked. In fact, I'm not sure I ever actually saw the key to our house.
Capable of handling _each_ of the functions (NOT switching between the modes - "sit on tarmac, punch in destination, go take a nap"; plus I'm not entirely sure if the feature you describe as autotakeoff even exists outside Hollywood), exclusively on the happy path with strict minima, with pilots required to take over at once in case of any irregularity. Highly convenient, but not a self-flying miracle.
> Does Snapchat not have any user feedback in their design

Apparently they don't even solicit feedback from their own inhouse employees, so I doubt they solicit it from control groups / influential users

> Compared to the "dogfooding" tradition in many tech companies, where employees try out their products before releasing them to the public, most Snap employees don't know when a new product is coming — regardless if it would affect their team's long-term metrics or goals. When the company launched Lenses, its famous filters that morph people's faces, most employees learned about it for the first time on the company blog post announcing it to the world.

Source: OP.
As far as our success is concerned, I am aligned entirely with you. I think radical change is necessary to slow down the self-destructive capitalist machine that is the U.S.

Unfortunately so many people have been influenced by McCarthyian propaganda that whenever the topic of social and economic reform in the U.S. comes up they simply scream about Stalin and Mao and that is that.
> Apparently working for your income, rather than rent-seeking or capital investment, is something to be discouraged in the modern economy

The tax code was already pretty regressive, with regular wage-earners paying Social Security and Medicare taxes on the first dollar they earn, while hedge fund guys pay a very small percentage of their income in taxes.

The new tax "reform" now adds more carve-outs that specifically target people who work for their income.

If your pass-through entity is for passive income like investments and real estate, the pass-through deduction is unlimited, and the hedge-fund "carried interest" loophole is preserved.

But if your pass-through is for your own labor like consulting, you're penalized with the deduction phase-out stating at $157k for individuals and $315k for joint filers.

Do you... know what these words mean? Absolute positioning has to be calculated from an absolute frame, like GPS. This is relative positioning, corrected by detecting periods when there should be no motion.

Honestly a little disappointed. Thought the „Plus“ would be more like an offering like Amazon Prime in the sense that you wouldn't have to pay these „AirBnB fees“ every single time you make a booking and instead pay a membership fee. (hate these fees displayed separately - why not display a single price to the customer - I don't care what it consists of - edit: and while we are at it, please get rid of these absurd „cleaning fees“ that get misused by dozens of hosts)
The basic of concept of separate page tables for user land and kernel is well known. It's how sparc64 is implemented from the very beginning. But knowing this is the objective is almost meaningless to actually accomplishing it. The devil is in the details, of which there are many, and they aren't necessarily shared.
You know, it's really tiring that people keep up with the same old shtick every time the topic of embargoes and OpenBSD come up.

OpenBSD followed [0] the original embargo from the KRACK researcher, he gave OpenBSD the go-ahead to commit it.. only later we he got CERT involved did they want to delay it for more months. He changed his mind retroactively. It's even stated in the original FAQ for that particular security issue.

Enough already? This has nothing to do with Intel's very selective disclosure of Meltdown.

I see it is from 2013, could somebody explain why is it interesting five years later? I don't say it isn't, just wondering.

current levels of approximately 9-12 grams per day

That seems like a lot. I'm pretty sure I don't use so much, even if I like salty food compared with people around me.

I do know that salt comes with a lot of prepared food, but most of it has been considerably reduced. And I don't eat much prepared food anyway.

So if it's a real number, someone must be eating spoonfuls of salt to raise the average :)
Agreed, but to clarify my comment, an IMU is not an inertial navigation system. I'm saying they constructed a pretty accurate inertial navigation system.

The paper I cited helps to point out the difference between taking inertial measurements and putting together a reasonable navigation system.
Not really - full details on my take here: https://medium.com/startup-grind/technology-due-diligence-or...
That's an outdated way of thinking about goods and services, and it's why things like piracy are doing so well.

Good luck with that.
A quick and overly simplistic explanation is that all inputs (source code, package dependencies or post-install scripts) used to build a package are employed to compute a unique hash.

Then the result of building a particular package is installed in /nix/store/hash-packagename. And this package links to other packages in the nix store using precise hashes. There is no dynamic linking. So the result is referentially transparent. A particular hash is guaranteed to correspond to the same package version, built in the same way and linked to the same dependencies. Furthermore, installing new package versions or modified versions of a package wont overwrite old ones, as hashes are different.

The same concept applies to a whole system setup, which is identified by a hash computed using all options that configure the system plus all packages available in your environment.
Because the service providers for post-paid phone accounts are also in the business of re-selling your PII to marketers, probably.

You can get a pre-paid with cash in many if not most places. Your identity can probably be deduced from call/text graph analysis, but that's not the same as having the people whom you're paying regularly for the account selling your identity to anyone with a buck to spare.
