Pretty useful and well taught: React JS parts I and II in Codecademy, JavaScript promises in Udacity.

Just pretty fun: Intro to Machine Learning in Udacity

As a general comment, I would like to say that MOOCs tend to be superficial and that the best way to learn a new technology or paradigm is just to read the docs and try hacking on a project. However, MOOCs can be a good format to simply get a broad perspective on some topic though.
I think that should be required in all circumstances. Final price advertised openly.

They obviously can calculate it at checkout, they can display it upfront.
> Do you have some specific providers you were interested in having connected?

Not off hand, but lots of colleagues in hosting, exchange fabrics, SaaS products, etc and I want to be able to recommend a partnership to them whenever a good fit appears.
Ask HN: Biggest takeaway from your biggest failure?
It's a call to action. If you see that 18 people are looking at that route and there's 1 flight that's really cheap then it's an incentive to quickly book that flight before the last seat is sold out. It's also the reason why other OTAs will list sold out hotel rooms or say "2 seats left" for a flight and why Amazon will put "3 left in stock" for certain items.
More robust tracking and native ad support, you know all the things you demand from a mobile site app.
His first argument was that accumulation itself needs to be prevented. If security requires accumulation proceed, then the answer is that his vision of preventing accumulation is not really possible.

How many times have we heard of large institutions suffering data breaches or failing to delete data that they are supposed to delete? Once it is accumulated, all bets are off.
GraphQL and React are some solid initiatives coming out of Facebook though
Google's AI has come long way and is maturing in right direction. As they say success has many fathers, so welcome onboard
BoringSSL is very widely used. I think it is the Android SSL implementation.
I agree it was a business success. It's just not very innovative. But in business a lack of innovation is sign of decline. It signals to people that a company has become reactionary rather than revolutionary. I don't know if it matters, but it could be a cause for concern.
ASK HN: Would I have trouble finding a job with a math + physics degree?
I have some experience programming in Java, SQL + NoSQL, Swift, Javascript. My undergrad degree is from a reasonably respectable uni -- top 40 worldwide. I've done some contracting work in software but not much.

Are my prospects of getting into a place like Amazon or Google very low? In other words, does my major make me less competitive in the job market than say computer engineering and computer science majors?
I'm a big fan of Chris (the GoRails.com guy): https://courses.gorails.com/

Great course.
Nothing they can do. Facebook stock is separated into "has
10 votes" and "has 1 vote". Mark owns the majority of the "has 10 votes" stock. He can literally do anything he wants with Facebook and there is nothing anyone else can do about it.
I found Udacity CS344: Intro to Parallel Programming (CUDA) a great class, not only from a practical standpoint of learning CUDA but also had some decent explanations/whiteboarding behind the algorithms
It’s at least a 30 seconds difference.
You need to read the amount, extract your wallet, check if you have the exact amount of money to avoid filling your wallet with useless coins, 90% of the time you realise that you don’t have it and you start fumbling between your notes to find the correct amount that can give you a reasonable change. At that point you can start to have fun fighting with the machine that won’t accept some of your notes because are too old/crumpled. Even in the unlikely case that it accepts all your notes now you still need to wait for the change and retrieve all of it, with some coin that will invariably be stuck somewhere.
Or instead of paying with your sweat and your blood using cash you can simply put your hand in your pocket, retrieve the phone and tap it on the sensor.
If reproducible builds are not used for these projects, it is not easily possible to verify whether end user distributed binaries are equal to the available source code. Never mind that in many cases actually replacing the SSL component may not be possible.
Yay for large numbers of first-generation Chinese immigrants!
This is awesome. I personally only use B2 for personal backups but I know my company is looking for storage of 4k media footage.

This makes it more compelling for them :)

Also this opens up the possibility for someone to make a SaaS on video storage and transcoding for great value
I guess "people that aren't rich have the right to comfortably raise a family" is an axiom that I had that I didn't really expect to have to defend.
Yeah, sure, they have it easier because of the demographics. Still, doesn't change the fact that their government is much more functional. You're being overly defensive.
I have been assisting my younger brother in his math deficiencies. Khan Academy has made it so much easier. I'll have him watch several videos on the topic we need to cover, and then work through his assignment together. This lets me focus on the specific areas he didn't understand instead of trying to reteach everything. Really wish I had this when I was younger.
I said human architecture - so human like ability to solve general problems sped up without the other human constraints (like needing to eat) and focused on solving a problem. It isn't like a billion independent humans just doing random things - maybe if they could all focus and coordinate on a single goal but the communication overhead from that would still make it different in addition to the other biological constraints.

You may not need that much access to the world to learn/infer a lot about it [1] and if a superintelligent AI needed access to more in order to achieve its goal it'd probably be able to get it.

Have you considered deeplearning.ai? I was on the fence between the two, but ended up taking deeplearning.ai after reading a review[0].

I'll probably take some of the fast.ai courses at some point, but the deeplearning.ai one was great.

I just wish the lighting told me something useful. If the CPU fan changed color to indicate temperature or CPU load, that would be really cool. Likewise, if RAM lighting indicated the rate of data transfer.

That would be pretty awesome. But all this fluff just to make PC more pretty seems pointless to somehow.

(Don't get me wrong, if you like that sort of thing, by all means, enjoy it. My sister's boyfriend has a gaming PC with a big glass window in the case so one can see all the pretty lights quietly shifting around. It is pretty, and I bet it's boatloads of fun to look at when tripping.)

Does this mean it will work on Linux? As far as I know Linux currently has no support for VR headsets.
As I am the instance owner, I am pretty sure my data is secure, both against prying eyes as well as against data rot.

> FYI, an open source project called Drupal, was recently affected with a a bug where millions of sites could be hacked.

Goiven that Drupal is a CMS, something completely different from a social network, this is like asking that you have seen an airship burn, so how are fish avoiding being eaten.
OK, we'll change to that from https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/03/intel-8th-gen-i9-laptops....
I agree.

Trump says he will put U.S. military on southern border
They don't make any money within themselves and those were engineer-driven initiatives.
Having done both extensively, in all weather conditions, I respectfully disagree. Now, modeling that in an algorithm...you may be accurate.

The thing about a pitching deck is that it's somewhat, but not completely, predictable. Swells are measurable and generally periodic...but the generality breaks down enough to make it unpredictable. It's why boarding rates (i.e. the ratio of landings to attempt) drop by a factor of 2-3 (i.e. from around 90+% to 30-ish%) in pitching deck situations.
This is my experience in Sweden as well. The only people I've heard complaining about the move away from cash are older generations (65+) — everyone else loves it. The e-krona initiative could solve the problem of allowing a cashless system while still giving control to the Riksbank [1].

Of all the hate that Advertising gets, how will any business survive without Advertising? How does an ad free world look like? You pay for every service as a ad-free subscription model? But how would you come to know such a service exists without Advertising?

Is this a competitor to React Native? RN seems to be the ideal: truly native components but a JS programming model.
I think I've read locks/hangs' reports even with newer APUs, and at this moment I'm not sure if disabling C6 state on package (or was it core?) is an effective workaround.

Or the suggestion to slightly increase voltage or a light overclock.

I wanted to upgrade to Ryzen but I don't want to spend time to troubleshoot the HW. Seems like it's only triggered on a BSD/Linux system, don't know if they were joking when they said that Windos is never that idle...
It's interesting Zuckerberg called Cook's comments glib... right before claiming that Facebook is free because it cares about poor people.

Zuckerberg clearly won the glib prize in this exchange.

Anybody know the ratio of OpenSSL bugs related to memory management compared to "normal" bugs, TLS state machine weirdness, compiler optimizations, etc.?
This should be fixed now and all the new listings should be up (until a few hours ago), I'm working on making it ~real time which should be ready next month.

Contactless cards aren’t really any faster than Apple Pay secured by your fingerprint, and in fact are the same speed if you prepare your iPhone - supposing your phone is at least as accessible as your contactless card. I’ve never used the Apple Watch for this.
> This is a dark pattern akin to booking.com, to create time pressure for you, not provide actual value.

It's only a dark pattern if the number is bullshit. If the number was accurate then it would be a helpful feature, especially if they also took into account conversion ratios on that route and gave the user a real time table for how long they could realistically wait before booking the flight/hotel.
How close is Zuck to Thiel? I see some strong parallels to his initial mentor and would think he still supports him. You are right, maybe he should've surrounded himself with more variety of people.
The pension fund obviously counts as an investor, and if he is speaking in his role as a representative of that fund, it is an investor speaking (the fund), whether or not he individually counts as an investor in Facebook (which presumably he doesn't, because conflict of interest codes would probably then prevent him from also being involved with investments in the firm on behalf of the public pension fund.)

Decentralized reddit using open protocols with each instance being a subreddit is going to be the next big step in decentralization.

>clustered systems are typically considered to be a type of a distributed system.

Sort of. However, a Perforce server with local replicas is not the same thing as a fully offline git transaction, for example.

>I'm also super curious why you think blockchain systems don't have actors that work independently of each other?

They work as part of the network but two users can't make a transaction without having to involve the network.
Backblaze B2 is awesome and the future looks very promising. Their team is also very open to new ideas and projects.

We have few PB of data there and never had any problem.

I honestly don't see any reason for anyone to use AWS or Google Cloud for object storage, except for the outbound network transfer issue from these providers.

Were I to choose to rely on money to meet my needs, I'd be imposing stress on myself.

Capitalism is a collective choice and very few people take responsibility for making it.

I lost my home. I learned to accept my situation. I was lucky enough to be able to move to a state where the state covers medical bills. I'm starting a family and there's such an abundance of things in the world that I tend to need only ask for them.

Learning to grieve & let go of the loss of a resource and how to ask for help are skills not often taught in modern society.

Yes, the events you note are hard and can be out of people's control.

How those people mentally respond to them is something they can control to a degree and develop resiliency for.
Yes, but if it decreases the risk of nuclear war even slightly, isn't it worth it? :)
I agree with that general concept. The larger society becomes and the more densely populated an area is, combined with expanding government in nearly all areas of life, people seem to have this attitude that everything is someone else's problem to fix. Problem with poverty? Don't worry, government is on the case. Healthcare is too expensive? Government has a solution for that. Police are abusing their authority? Don't worry, the ACLU and other rights advocates are suing on your behalf. The list goes on. All of this takes away from the concept of being an involved, responsible citizen that knows what's going on in your community. It also absolves people of the moral obligation to do anything since the issue of the day is a clearly defined problem that someone else is supposed to tackle.

And of this, I have to admit, I am not guiltless. I don't feel connected to society in the same way I used to and I admit to having fallen into this mindset. I have actively tried a few times to offer something back (other than money) and no one seems to want it, despite their claims to the contrary. Case in point - I went on several forums offering completely free advice and support in helping people to lose weight as I have studied this topic extensively and made significant changes to my body through changing my eating habits. Only one single person even responded and then they didn't even follow through with a single communication. None of this was unsolicited, either. People directly asked for help and then wouldn't take it (despite being free). Others chastised me on the boards for what they thought was a scam ("it's not free, he'll hock products at you", despite my promise to not do so). I even put up fliers at my local grocery store and bus stops advertising the same. Not a single response. I tried to put up a flyer at my community center but they put up so many roadblocks just to let me put up a piece of paper advertising a free service, I couldn't get approval. So even when I try to pay it forward, so to speak, I can't even do that, so I just gave up and stopped trying entirely.

So now I'm more, "Fuck 'em, every man for himself. They're someone else's responsibility and they probably have a family anyway who should be helping. Not wasting my time." And that's really messed up and unfortunate.
Cloudflare would be another example of a large-scale BoringSSL user (with some changes for things like OCSP).
Infinite scroll has been a thing for a while in RES.

The removal of the quick link bar is an egregious sin though.
From my personal thoughts, Zuckerberg acting like a dictator.

It’s shameful seeing how they started to infect the art of creativity.

Everything good comes with ethics, clearly @facebook @WhatsApp @instagram are not.
Blockchain Is Merely a Marketing Instrument
If Stuxnet taught us anything, you’re not wrong.
MIT severs ties to company promoting fatal brain uploading
We’re focused on pure web applications, and being able to run an app in the App Store and on the web as a PWA and Electron with the same code is a problem our users and customers are asking us to solve. It’s a different approach and I think those that want to stay web-native but still have easy access to native SDKs will find Capacitor interesting.

We’ve had some good feedback from some react native developers that they’d love to build out pages with web content and wrap it with a native shell (nav/menu/etc), while easily exposing native modules/plugins to the webview, so that’s a use case we’re going to support. Being able to use that app as a PWA is a compelling value prop of this project as well.
Parts of yesterday's Zuckerberg interview [0] highlighted and commented by Matt Levine today [1]:

Zuckerberg: You mentioned our governance. One of the things that I feel really lucky we have is this company structure where, at the end of the day, it’s a controlled company. We are not at the whims of short-term shareholders. We can really design these products and decisions with what is going to be in the best interest of the community over time.

Klein: That is one of the ways Facebook is different, but I can imagine reading it both ways. On the one hand, your control of voting shares makes you more insulated from short-term pressures of the market. On the other hand, you have a lot more personal power. There’s no quadrennial election for CEO of Facebook. And that’s a normal way that democratic governments ensure accountability. Do you think that governance structure makes you, in some cases, less accountable?

Zuckerberg: I certainly think that’s a fair question. My goal here is to create a governance structure around the content and the community that reflects more what people in the community want than what short-term-oriented shareholders might want. And if we do that well, then I think that could really break ground on governance for an internet community. But if we don’t do it well, then I think we’ll fail to handle a lot of the issues that are coming up.

Wise Computing: Toward Endowing System Development with Proactive Wisdom
I think there's a lot of instances you need more than is currently exposed for PWAs, especially on iOS. Push notifications is a big one. And the home screen installation on iOS (even with 11.3) leaves a lot to be desired compared to Android.

P.S. Bx looks pretty awesome :)
You missed at least https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbed_TLS and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnuTLS
One upside I can see to this implementation is that it ONLY supports TLS 1.2 and 1.3, so there's significantly less danger of downgrade attacks. I believe you can build OpenSSL without TLS 1.1 and below, but the code is still there, so there's some non-zero risk.

> Why do we care so much about design?

Because it's the lowest common denominator.
Because everybody can have some input there.
Because somebody in the org needed an "initiative" and the design is the easiest to explain.
you forgot about mbedTLS (formerly PolarSSL) which seems to originate from ARM ltd.

Contrasting this offering, where there were no underwriters and things proceeded spectacularly, with the Dropbox IPO, where the underwriters added negative value, speaks profoundly to the future role of private markets in the capital markets for technology companies.

Disclaimer: I bet my career on private markets supplanting public ones, in respect of certain technology companies, many years ago.
Those call to actions are such tacky, spam inducing captions. Mainly used by large aggregate, spam accounts. "TAG A FRIEND WHO WOULD DO THIS,. "FOLLOW MY FRIEND", "DOUBLE TAP IF YOU AGREE". I highly suggest you avoid this practice. Get down to your user level and be genuine. I run a fairly sizable Instagram account for my target market. You have to be thoughtful about what you say, asking specific questions of your users, based on the content you've posted.

You want a lot of followers? It's a grind. Be consistent, provide high quality content, that benefits the end user in some way. Engage with them when they leave comments. Interact with their content if you like it. BE ORIGINAL. Original content wins. Not reposting everyone else's crap. That's how you build a real community, where other businesses will take notice.
This is a problem in some contexts but not others. Much software is run in environments controlled by the same party as the code. If one needs a new feature, one upgrades.

Dependency management for software you're distributing is a hassle, to be sure. The version of the language is one of many considerations. System calls, memory constraints, paths, and many other things can differ from one environment to another.
