I very much like the idea of this calculator, particularly since it has a python implementation. However, there are a couple of caveats - it uses binary arithmetic, though since release it seems they've improved the accuracy, and also I'm not sure how free this license is[1]. For something that isn't open-source, but uses RPN and has quad-precision binary-encoded decimal precision the DM42 looks really nice[2].

Is it? I have experienced both these things:

1. A high-pitched hum, that is always there, if I choose to listen to it in a quiet place. (It's quiet enough now in my kitchen at 08:05; the only real sound I can hear is a collared dove every now and then.) If I really concentrate on it it can turn into a sound almost like crashing waves.

2. A ringing sound that is loud enough to interfere with hearing real sounds. I only have this a few times a year, often brought on by loud noises.

I had assumed that 1 is a standard feature of human hearing, while 2 is a medical condition called tinnitus. However, although lots of people have described 1, I'm not sure that everyone experiences it. It would be useful to have different names for these two things, even if they are to be described as two types of tinnitus.
The problem seems to be limited to the mega-popular content, and it doesn't really seem that different from news website comments. For niche channels that match my interests (10k-1M views per video), the comments are actually generally fairly pleasant and sometimes interesting.
"It isn't so easy to determine if costs are covered."

I suppose I agree that it's not easy to attribute costs, but if this is a defense of Citibank or Trump's claims about Amazon, it seems like special pleading. If it isn't so easy to determine if costs are covered, and if the Post Office is not giving them any deal other major shippers don't get, and they are audited according to some standards that people defined as acceptable, then it seems as though people should stop claiming the USPS is subsidizing Amazon.

> For the sake of the topic however, I'd say that in this case the greatest risk is in not pushing to become compliant for the sake of future-proofing against legislation of this type

I find it a bit frustrating that you would so clearly ignore the whole point of this sub-thread merely to repeat the same sentiment about privacy and security, which wasn't under debate in the first place.

Are you seriously suggesting that the GDPR is the end-all, be-all of data privacy regulation and that "legislastion of this type" will always be a proper subset of the GDPR, no matter the jurisdiction?

If not, then even your purported future-proofing rings hollow, especially for a company which already substantially complies with the spirit of the legislation, which is what we've been discussing here.

> Essentially, many businesses not looking to adopt GDPR compliant are winning the economic mini-game while getting beaten in the metagame.

I remain unconvinced that this is true, because of, again, risk. It seems credible to me that, for many businesses, the risk could easily not be worth it, regardless of others opinions on the ease of compliance or financial exposure (so far only unsubstantiated opinions, as we have no actual data on enforcement yet, and this is a pretty deeply political matter, as you yourself point out).

Moreover, I find it telling that you would refer to the situation as a "game". I expect the business owners in question (I'm assuming smaller business, in general) are more likely to view it a bit more soberly, in that they're running a business, not playing a game. As such, I don't expect they have a "mini" or a "meta", only decisions for which they and those that depend on them bear the consequences.

Curious as to why China would want to block Callkit specifically. Is this just an easy way of saying “actually we don’t want apps with any kind of VOIP functionality and will eventually block you anyway”.
Interesting and possibly exceptional counter example here.

I worked for a product company and I was supposed to add a set of new features to the product.

The way the company was setup, we were able to setup demos/calls with existing customers quite quickly.

Two of the existing customers are industry giants and as I walked them through the demo, they were able to actually name the exact API calls I would have been using for the demo. And then one of them actually effectively said "take my money already and ship it"

I quite lieterally asked them if they had such fine grained information on what we were going to sell them, then why are they even bothering to buy from us ?

The answer was, getting a well packaged solution as a feature set in a product they are already using is far more useful for them than to have to spend time themselves writing ad-hoc/free-standing programs which do the same things even if they have the resources to do it themselves.

Another hack is to not store things in the fridge that don't need to be.

Bread, eggs, etc.

That looks like a big fridge, maybe then it can be smaller.

Although smaller doesn't necessarily mean more efficient you may want to check the star energy rating.
You can work around this by having downgrade protection, and TLS 1.3 has this out of the box, it was also added belatedly to TLS 1.2 (but obviously the problem there is, you can still downgrade whenever either client or server knows TLS 1.2 but doesn't have protection yet)

In TLS 1.3 the downgrade protection works like this:

If I'm a TLS 1.3 server, and a connection arrives that says it can only handle TLS 1.2 or lower, I scribble the letters "DOWNGRD" (in ASCII) near the end of a field labelled Random that is normally entirely full of random bytes.

If I'm a TLS 1.3 client, I try to ask for TLS 1.3 from the server when I connect, if instead I get a TLS 1.2 or earlier reply, I check the Random field, and see if it spells out "DOWNGRD" near the end. If it does, somebody is trying to downgrade my connection, I am being attacked and can't continue.

This trick works because if bad guys tamper with the Random field then the connection mysteriously fails (client and server are relying on both knowing all these bytes to choose their encryption keys with ephemeral mode) while older clients won't see any meaning in the letters DOWNGRD near the end of these random bytes - so they won't freak out.

You might worry: What if somebody just randomly picked "DOWNGRD" by accident for a TLS 1.3 connection ? If every single person in the world makes one connection per second, this is likely to happen to one person, somewhere, only once every few years. So we don't worry about this.
Living off-grid is overengineering compared to the alternative. It's not surprising people would jump through seemingly unnecessary hoops once they've made that decision.

I just do not understand its point. Cmakefiles are much, much uglier than makefiles. And it takes several steps to compile a program, instead of a single one. And it seems larger than the operating system itself.

I do not know what is "the percentage system", but I doubt it can be so wonderful to make me forget about all the other unnecessary problems.

It may be justified to use cmake when it is really needed. But the cixl interpreter can be built by a five-line makefile.

I don't think it's sufficient to say "who cares about X" where X is what the President is attacking at the moment, because the consequences may be unforeseen, and go beyond the specific target. His goals are also unclear, which sows instability and uncertainty.

In this case, people reasonably suspect that part of the motivation is his dislike for the WaPo and Bezos, and that he wants to attack Amazon due to its association.

However, part of the process seems to be spreading non-factual information about the USPS. It's got to be nerve-wracking for the employees, thinking that this might be an indicator that the federal government is working on new ways to undermine them while pretending to "help".

Then too, Bezos is not the only owner of a newspaper which has or might criticize the President, so people are justifiably concerned about the implications of this vendetta for a free press.

All this is separate from whether the welfare of Amazon is particularly vital to a person.
Yeah there is probably politics etc. that disable a "industry giant" from spending their human resources on certain projects, but they may have the OK to pay an outsider to do the same. That's the situation the big consulting firms love.
HOW I FIXED MY CREDIT
Hi! I sincerely wish to appreciate HACKWEST in this manner. I have being depressed because of my credits score until I met Kim my high school mate who I told about the alarming state of my credits, he laughed and asked if I know of HACKWEST I said No, he quickly gave out the contacts of HACKWEST. I wrote HACKWEST via email and cell, in my words: I have two credit cards. One from Chase that was closed on May 9 2009 with a $0.00 balance and lists 4 late payments, and another from Capital One that sent to RSIEH law firm for $21100 when my limit was $20000.00. However, I paid $2000 so far towards it and I have actually a balance of $18000 per my extension but they are reporting it as 21100 because of the court fees that were added while I’m on an extension. My question is should I try to remove Chase? Also, should I try to settle on Capital One? HACKWEST quickly replied and said “don’t do any of them”. He demanded for some information which I sent and after 9days they erased the negative items replacing them with positive items, increased my score from 380 to 790 and gave me 3 tradelines. If you desire the services of a professional hacker kindly contact HACKWEST on +1 424 307 2638 or email- HACKWEST@WRITEME.COM for your credit repair, I strongly recommend.
Raygun springs to mind.
But then your code is not portable because it is now susceptible to arbitrary stack depth changes blowing up your program. None of your arguments make sense when compared with the overwhelmingly superior iterative approach. Recursion is the same as iteration + downsides. I mean seriously name the last time you had a stack overflow and weren't doing recursion? That's an entire class of bug introduced or eliminated by a simple design decision. That's how you write superior code for now and in the future.

You shouldn't have to know about the implementation when writing portable code. If you introduce recursion, you now need to worry about implementation since the machine max stack size is now an issue and you've broken the abstraction. And what exactly did you gain that outweigh's the cons?

Well… it at least indicates that most people here don't use a free OS (even if we exclude Windows), and don't care much about free software. (Permissive licences however are loved, mostly because they allow proprietary derivative works.)

We used to talk about Windows/Linux for portability topics (conveniently ignoring BSD and others, I reckon). Somehow, Apple took over much of Linux's mindshare. And not just here. Many of my coworkers are asking for apple laptops. A huge fraction of keynote presenters use an apple laptop.

All that is a bit sad, considering Apple is even worse than Microsoft, freedom wise. They popularised the digital prison, that was originally confined mostly to game consoles. I'll never forgive that, no matter how much they contribute to open source.

After trying InfluxDB and it not working well for my use case I've written a TSDB as well. I suspect that's the joke around these parts, everyone and their cousin has written as TSDB.

Used time based blocks just like the article says. But they also switched if they got larger than 2GB, because it allowed the index offset to be 4 bytes. That allowed pretty fast searching as well as discarding old data.

The data and index and were both written to separate files. Some of the values were not just simple integers/floats but large blobs that's why separate data files.

Decided not to go explicitly with mmap-ing on read. Started that way but abandoned it. A simple pread (read + seek in one syscall) and relying on page caching worked just as well.

Should have used an inverted index for labels, that's a good idea. Maybe just sqlite or something like that... Though my queries were not as free form and some were more common than others. So built custom indices for the common queries.

Index files were also partitioned by time but were synchronized to the same partitioning schedule as the main data file. So if main data file opened a new block file, indices did the same.

Didn't explicitly handle in memory vs not-in memory blocks when writing, but relied on periodic fsync-ing.

Instead of a wal decided that some data that wasn't fsync-ed yet might be lost if power was cut. To deal with corruption on start, data in main file and extra indices were truncated to lasted sane fsync of the main time based index.
Shouldn't most corrupted files simply not get processed by the file system (and likely cleaned up by the immune system), especially if the error were at the beginning? It seems the mutation would need to be "close but wrong" to have the most truly devastating effects.
One question: why would you use the awful clusterfuck that is JavaScript on the desktop where you’ve got the freedom to choose from dozens of lovely languages that actually are a pleasure to use?

JS is a necessary evil on the web, but why inflict such pain to yourself when you’re able to use something else?

Ok so thank you for admitting that Recursion presents more risks than iteration and requires a programmer wise to those risks. Therefore proving that iterative is the cheaper and easier method that should be used the majority of the time. At the end of the day, saving a few lines of code to be cleaver is an all risk no reward situation other than to flaunt your ePenis to your co-workers
Constantly reducing is not the same as less expensive.
Independent video streaming is still very expensive, both in hardware cost and bandwidth cost, and if you have a global audience, then you will have to rely on CDN, which for video is not cheap at all.

Youtube for the longest time, ran on loss - until recently.
Only after Google had reliable penetration all over the globe using their on-premise GGC (aka google CDN) solution, which relies on the user (ISP) bearing the cost of hosting the hardware and the bandwidth that run through it, that now Youtube has the infrastructure to make it profitable.

I don't honestly see youtube being seriously challenged. Yes, there might be pockets of competitions - but far far from a serious challenge.

Unless an individual producer has very high marketable demand that he can get a premium price from advertisers or charges users per video, I don't see how hosting videos for individuals is profitable. Corporations are a different story, and even they often rely on Youtube.

Clicking the "Find the right mortgage" button forwards me to a selection page which allows me to choose between "Continue in EN" / "Weiter auf DE", however, the second button has no effect.
Well, for obvious reasons: when n is odd, and the row R is even (specifically, 2 mod 4, i.e. of the form 4k+2 for some k) and the column C is odd, then even if gcd(R, C) = 1, the set being considered contains only even numbers — note that it starts with R(R-1)N/2+C which will be even as R(R-1)/2 is odd and so is C - so you won't have any primes in it. (That is, you'll have a red cell, even where the gcd pattern has a black one.)

And when n is even, there's also a heuristic argument that there are only finitely many counterexamples; i.e. you should expect to find the pattern from your process exactly match that from just the gcd, beyond a few counterexamples: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17106648

Modifying the Python object model
This is a cool project, although I'm starting to not like the look of native apps anymore.

This will hopefully appease the electron haters but I suspect someone will still complain about this being JavaScript
awesome. this is clearly an early proof-of-concept but I'll keep my eye on the project. I'm also hopeful for weex (like react native for vue). despite moving from alibaba to become an apache foundation incubator project, it has a long way to go in terms of documentation -- nativescript seems to be winning that particular battle in the vue world right now. it's exciting to see a desktop project come along. vue makes a lot of sense for native apps because its transition engine really lends itself to a "native feel" without a lot of development overhead[1]. great work.

I'm saying that there are so many downsides both obvious and sneaky associated with recursion that it makes almost no sense to use when the iterative approach is usually safer, doesn't have the headache of unbounded stack calls, and can be more easily parallelized with things like OpenMP
The proper way to deal with this is to rotate out the logs after a finite amount of time (you are doing that anyway, right?) and then to delete the logs after yet another period of time, once they have outlived their useful life. That's good practice anyway so I really don't see the problem.

Looking for malicious traffic is not a loophole that allows you to keep data indefinitely - even if nobody asks you to remove it - you don't need to keep it indefinitely.

Your example is interesting but the fact that it is such a remote edge case means that if such a person were to raise an issue with their local DPA they will find that no such institution exists so you are safe to ignore that situation for all intents and purposes. Even so it would be common courtesy to honor a removal, update or insight request from that individual as well as from all other individuals that your service caters to.
