I see that you are a 2-person "shop" - would you still have a "foo-consulting.com" personality if you were going solo? I'm kinda torn between the two.
I agree with you, it's a matter of time.

Yet, there are a lot of those things you can still do with kids around without neglect them. That's a part (in my opinion) of education to involve them in your activities.

Of course, it's not true on their first years, but when they start to grow, that's something you can do.

For example, last December I went with my wife and my 7yo twins to a 10 days vacation in NYC.

They enjoyed visiting the Met or the natural history museum, probably not in the same way my wife and I did, but still. And it was a great time for all of us.

And kids go to sleepl early (for their well being), ours are in bed at 7:30pm, so there's still a lot of time to do plenty of stuff :-)
The final version is going to be basically the last draft (draft-ietf-tls-tls13-28) with a few editorial changes. There's a changelog in the draft: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-tls13-28#section-...

The question is just which draft Chrome and Firefox were using back then. The changes for the middleboxes were according to the changelog in draft-22, and IIRC consisted basically in adding back a few unnecessary fields, and allowing an useless handshake message (which is ignored by the receiver). The main trick was IIRC to make all TLS 1.3 connections (resume or not) appear identical to a TLS 1.2 resume connection.

A more detailed history of all changes to the spec can be found at its git repository: https://github.com/tlswg/tls13-spec/
100% (Blizzard login). My site is based on a Blizzard game, so it doesn't really make sense to have an account unless it's linked to a blizzard account.

But what that means is that if your upstream login provider is down or having issues, your users can't log into your site, so don't do this unless it really makes sense for you.

A qualified "yes".

Dependabot has ~100 paying customers, and makes just over $2,000 a month. It's still quite a lot of work adding new features, but if I wasn't extending it's functionality it would be passive income.

Personably have raised money and landed some big paying customers - I think there's scope for them to be solving a relatively large problem, having started from a duct-tape fix.

The only proviso I'd add to the article is that sometimes the problems you find like this are small. Dependabot will never be a full-blown startup - it's scope is too small. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though - I think the problem has still been well worth solving thoroughly.

How strong is the link to race? There is a great number of diseases and conditions affected by genes that have no correlation with skin pigment.

Swedes and Finns have quite different profiles of hereditary diseases. Are Finns a different race based on that?

In the 1930s, Finnish scientists spent a lot of time “proving” to their German counterparts that Finns are an Aryan group rather than part of the Mongolic race. That seems completely absurd today. Hopefully in 80 years we’ll be able to say the same about present-day race obsessions.

JavaScript uses the same OOP model as SELF, prototype based.

In winter you could still hunt, fish, log wood, build and repair buildings and boats and farm tools and clothes, take care of your farm animals etc.

You could also cross bodies of water over the ice much easier with cattle or heavy loads (like wood, big game meat etc).
The point is that cheerleaders are skilled athletes who are valued for their skill and looks. A beautiful cheerleader standing around is not in demand. Booth Babes are not valued for their skill in holding things, they are valued for their looks only. They are not recognized for their talent. They are treated as objects among objects.
Yes, of course, there can be major fluctuations in any direction. But the data that we do have (see the Maddison Project) points out to many countries being in roughly the same quartiles across centuries. Sweden or Romania would be some of those. China would be an example of an undeperformer from 1800 to 1990 and Saudi Arabia an overperformer from 1960 (I think).

But these scenarios are not the common case, there’s a reason they are called economic disasters or miracles.

Oh, and the present day has way more noise than the past, cause of industrialization. Now a country can truly be 10-100 more productive per capita than another. But before the Industrial Age it was waaaay harder to stand out, you needed some exquisite social systems to do it, it happened extremely slowly and rarely.

One problem is that heritability is not genetic, but more broad, and people mostly don't understand that.

Docker is a amazing tool, but I think the technical design and overall strategy for Swarm wasn't very well executed. Moving to k8s is a smart thing for them, because it's objectively better for real production use.

In our tests about a year ago, swarm started showing serious networking and cluster synchronization problems with cluster sizes over 30 nodes (physical servers), on a fast, reliable LAN.

I've heard similar stories from another big Docker customer- Docker support promised them that improving performance of Swarm and fixing scaling issues are the focus of "the next version", but they never came. This company is now moving to k8s.
XMPP has multi user chat and history sync extensions.

It also has a several open implementations that have proven scalability.

I’m also not really sure what you mean about “decentralised rather than federated”. This is from the matrix.org faq:

> Matrix provides open federation - meaning that anyone on the internet can join into the Matrix ecosystem by deploying their own server.

No extensions means no customisation for the purpose at hand or for future enhancements.

So tell me again about how matrix is so different?
Aside from doing the same work X% of the time I can think of only one other option. The network could be overloaded with additional nodes such that it would also compute some function on the input data with the known output. For example a hashing function. Having said that, single pass does not strike me as a particularly useful unit of work. You would want to batch the samples, and that leads back to a strategy of verifying a portion of them based on the host trust metric.
> so you need to alloc an object

Not always! Rust and C++ closures don't need to allocate in every case. I can speak more definitively about Rust's, but as long as you aren't trying to move them around in certain ways, there's no allocation, even if you close over something.

Consider this sum function, which also adds in an extra factor on each summation:

pub fn sum(nums: &[i32]) -> i32 {
let factor = 5;

nums.iter().fold(0, |a, b| a + b + factor)
}

The closure here closes over factor. There's zero allocations being done here.

If you want to return a closure, you may need to allocate. Rust will let you know, and the cost will be explicit (with Box). That's where my sibling's comment comes into play.

Disagree. He knows a lot about chemistry and investing too. Is that to show off or to know what he and his companies are working on? aka become a better executive if you will.

By the way he didn't squander it all. He got 7 years and when he gets back he'll hopefully continue working on helping humanity through better medicine. Hopefully.

Well, not really. Training a model is one such task. It's hard to train a network but easy to verify that it has good performance (training vs inference).

The real problem here, I believe, and I've seen this idea pop up several times on hackernews, is that almost no machine learning tasks are progress free.

If the cryptocurrency is just paid out to the person who solves the task first in a non-progress free problem, then the person with the fastest GPU would mine all the coins and nobody else can participate. One of the key ideas behind proof of work is that if two people have the same compute, and person A has a headstart, if person A has not succeeded by the time person B starts, they'll have the same probability of mining a block.

People seem to be just jumping on the crypto bandwagon and trying to come up with "useful" proof of work, but it's a pretty difficult task.

0-RTT sounds nice, until you get to appendix E.5. Everyone should read this:

E.5. Replay Attacks on 0-RTT

Replayable 0-RTT data presents a number of security threats to TLS-
using applications, unless those applications are specifically
engineered to be safe under replay (minimally, this means idempotent,
but in many cases may also require other stronger conditions, such as
constant-time response). Potential attacks include:

- Duplication of actions which cause side effects (e.g., purchasing
an item or transferring money) to be duplicated, thus harming the
site or the user.

- Attackers can store and replay 0-RTT messages in order to re-order
them with respect to other messages (e.g., moving a delete to
after a create).

- Exploiting cache timing behavior to discover the content of 0-RTT
messages by replaying a 0-RTT message to a different cache node
and then using a separate connection to measure request latency,
to see if the two requests address the same resource.

Ultimately, servers have the responsibility to protect themselves
against attacks employing 0-RTT data replication. The mechanisms
described in Section 8 are intended to prevent replay at the TLS
layer but do not provide complete protection against receiving
multiple copies of client data.

It seems practically guaranteed a lot of devs will enable it without understanding the ramifications.. I hope embeddings like Nginx add a nice configuration interface like "enable_0rtt YES_I_UNDERSTAND_THIS_MIGHT_BE_INSANE;" or similar. Meanwhile I wonder if concentrators like Cloudflare will ever be able to support it, without knowing lots more about the apps they are fronting

I guess e.g. Nginx could also insert an artificial header to mark requests received as 0-RTT, and frameworks like Django could use that header to require views be explicitly marked with a decorator to indicate support, or something like that
The countries that best embody what Americans think of as "European socialism" are actually the Nordic countries, which are relatively prosperous, innovative, and not corrupt by Western standards.

Italy, to the best of my understanding, is still a collection of unruly tribes most of which function under the "I'll take my crook over their crook" mentality, deeply suspicious and corrupt, all united by a thin layer of quasi-democratic practice (theater).
Become enlightened, and if it's as good as they say, spend the rest of my life teaching others how to get there too. I know for me, it's what I'm here for. Nothing else is as important to me. I can't wait to teach, but it must be from the perspective of my own personal, direct experience. There are already enough charlatans in the world, I don't intend to become one myself.

I don't think there's enough awareness the state can be achieved through specific practice. People like Osho, J Krishnamurti, Eckharte Tolle... they all seemed to have it just spontaneously happen and then try to retrofit techniques they think will probably work. Their approaches seem biased towards people who can already do what they're talking about ("just be aware"), instead of being more systematic processes that circumvent the mind.

The people who inspire me the most are the householders, living in the world who still managed to attain this greatest of prizes. They're the people who inspire me, and something I aspire to be. I think it's a valuable backstory that makes the teaching more approachable and easier to relate to if it's clear you don't need to give up this world to attain true happiness.

Having this mission puts the corporate world and paid work really into perspective as something that supports my life, but doesn't define it. That helps me keep it at a slight distance and allows me to take more risks - which incidentally have paid off.

Italy is by no stretch of the imagination "hyper-socialist."
"At the end of the day, as a person in technology, your major resources are your technical skills."

The article from Pro Publica argues otherwise-- with data to back it up. The point is: "culture fit" and "optics" are the new "technical skills". What about all those mentioned in the article who were getting great performance reviews, had the skillz and the lay-off just came out of nowhere due to their age? and them some are re-hired back as contractors at a $20,000 pay cut. No, skills are not your major resources. Your major resource is the leverage you have, and it ain't your skills. But it could be your fellow workers. Unions will have to go global to provide any serious leverage, however. If all the teachers struck with the West Virginia teachers, we'd have well-paid teachers. It might start to become an actual profession again. Kids might start getting an education again. It would be great to see that kind of solidarity happen in tech. Maybe the sysadmins need to lead this charge. Now they have some actual leverage.

Note that even though my comment above received the full ire of HN, I do not necessarily support this legislation. I just think the article's game of 7-degrees-of-seperation and guilt by association are fundamentally weak arguments.
I think there is a wide divide between a reporter with a history and a CV, and some rando with a camera.

Intent, like actual intent -
not what you say to get a lighter sentence - matters a lot. Some rando saying "I was filming because something something amateur reporter" has less weight than someone who can more rightfully show history of reporting, unless the rando actually demonstrates theyve been engaged in independent production before the crime.

However in this contrived situation, provided the "journalist" isn't driving the getaway vehicle, yeah, they shouldn't be charged with burglary.

Journalism is so vital to democracy, that I want lenience for reporters even when things aren't super clear cut. Justice is full of compromises.
Fediverse – Federated social networks running on free open software
Yeah, I agree. Ultimately I'm working so I can enjoy the rest of my life.
I don't know what you mean. Mastodon deletes all the data from the server, and sends out delete payloads to other servers that may have stored copies. If you refer to the fact that some of those copies may remain, then you need to mark all services as not allowing account deletion because Google may have caches of indexed profile and post pages.
See the recent US block of Broadcom merger.
Ask HN: API to compare current spot instance pricing?
I'm looking for an API or a service with which I can get the current cheapest price for an instance type. For example, lets say I need a 12 core, 32 GB machine and I don't care about the location to perform a task that will only last 2 hours at the max. The following cloud vendors provide discounted instance for these purposes that can save you upto 80% compared to on demand instances:

AWS - Spot Instance (Demand based, 2 minute notice)

GCP - PreEmptible Instances (Max 24 hours, 30 second notice)

Azure - Low priority instance

Is there an api that can give me the lowest price that I can get across these vendors? This can save us a lot in costs where we can mix between instances that are dependable vs instances that are only used temporarily.
We always sort by naughtiest first. Any services in particular you think have the wrong data?

I wrote about what I believe the "Purpose of Life" is on my blog, though I haven't publicized it very much yet:

https://goose.us/thoughts/the-purpose-of-life/

(TL;DR - the purpose of life is to maximize the area under the complexity curve for our enclosing system. I use Sean Carroll's The Big Picture and some MinutePhysics/Earth videos to help make the point.)

Right now I'm learning more about complex systems while practicing writing and speaking in order to refine the message for wider consumption. I would love to engage with anyone on the topic who is willing.
Notice Ulam, Feynman, and von Neumann at Los Alamos in

http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/BigPictures/Ulam_Feynman...

For the Banach match box problem, that is, flip a fair coin x + y times and find the probability of getting heads exactly x times. So, it's a binomial probability problem.

A Banach space is a complete, normed linear space. There is a nice chapter on Banach space in

Walter Rudin,
Real and Complex Analysis.

There are some nice applications of the Hahn-Banach theorem in

David G. Luenberger,
Optimization by Vector Space Methods.

In

Patrick Billingsley,
Convergence of Probability Measures.

is a nice presentation of Ulam's result in measure theory
Le Cam called tightness: Roughly, IIRC, for any probability measure P and any a > 0 no matter how small, there exists a sphere S of finite radius so that P(S) > 1 - a. Intuitively the probability mass can't just keep avoiding all spheres; eventually some sphere, if large enough, must cover nearly all the mass. There are some cute technical details.

Once in a paper I used Ulam's result to show that a goofy distribution-free statistical hypothesis test was not trivial. And I've seen other applications.

The hypothesis test was to improve on our work in artificial intelligence for zero day monitoring for problems in server farms and networks. So, Ulam's tightness has played a role in at least one piece of work intended to be practical!

IIRC, Ulam was long head of Los Alamos. Once I heard his lecture on the role in evolution of having two sexes.

There was a Time-Life book on math with a few pages on Ulam. IIRC, Ulam did by hand or mechanical calculator some of the early Monte-Carlo evaluations of critical mass.
