I just went to the top 20 search results for "how do I generate ssh keys". Almost none of them use the defaults. Almost all of them suggest to use "-t rsa", and some with "-b 4096". The ones using defaults are from Joyent, SSH.Com, and git-scm.com. Since probably nobody is creating SSH keys without using a guide first, we should be able to get websites to update their guides with better default arguments, which will improve things going forward.

Almost all the Windows guides suggest using PuTTYgen with defaults, which gives you a 1024 bit RSA key, and that might be worse in the long run than these password shenanigans.
If js cannot properly run on a smartphone or other limited devices, it should not be used anywhere.

I remember on Hipchat you could edit your last message by sending a message using this (sed?) syntax:

s/flock/duck/

. I remember hearing someone saying that was the worst design they've seen in their life. I almost agree.

I do agree that text interfaces are better. I really wish that more products were exposed through a purely textual interface.

I think hipchat could have solved the issue with a text interfaces better.

Also, this is why I really like Emacs. It has a great library for creating text interfaces. I had trouble with it because it is written in elisp/lisp.
Ubiq (YC S16) is hiring a back-end developer in Waterloo, Ontario
Don’t you think banning an extremely common product in response to one study is an overreaction? From the article:

>"To our knowledge this was the first time anyone had shown hospital bacteria becoming tolerant to alcohols," says Timothy Stinear, a coauthor of the study and a researcher at the University of Melbourne's Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity.
>It’s not clear to me that anyone can predict the consequences of technology

That’s the whole point of the article, no one person can ever figure that stuff out. That’s why the public needs tone informed. No matter how educated (malicious or not) an “elite” is, they’ll never be able to predict as much as the general public will.

Yet a wider public debate can.

Your example about greenhouse gases is a good example of this. Forget about the celebrities for a sec and look at the big picture:

The guys in the hydrocarbon industry were experts at their jobs: developing oil, coal & gas and selling those products. Likewise the car industry, experts at building and selling cars.

Their expertise is in building their particular products and selling them. They could not have been expected to understand the negative environmental effects. And moreover, it’s in their interest to ignore the negatives associated with their products because it’s much more profitable for them to produce cheap products that require little R&D.

It took insights from the general public outside those industries to realize how those products affect the population as a whole:

- Burning hydrocarbons releases far more CO2 than the planet can scrub via the carbon cycle, which has lead to the greenhouse effect. Not only that but certain types of coal produce the smog that once blighted our cities and literally killed people with weak respiratory systems. Not only all of that but the lead that was added to gas to prevent engines knocking, kills people too.

- Emmisions from cars not only add CO2 to the greenhouse effect but other car emissions such as carbon nanoparticles, Nitric Oxides, sulfuric compounds also result in measurable deaths among the populations living among those cars.

As a result, laws are passed to make cars release less emissions and also to reduce societal dependence on hydrocarbons. The public debate resulted in the population realizing that there are health hazards to both individuals in the short term and global climate in the long term, and resulted in laws being passed to reduce these health hazards as low as is possible right now.

Without informed public debate we’d never have realized that these negative effects occur and we’d never have saved as many lives as has been saved now that our cities are not drenched in lead and Nitric Oxide saturated smog.
You really can’t get an accurate sense of angles/shapes, areas, distances, or directions with an orthographic projection except by moving the view around. Even when you do, it is very difficult to accurately compare attributes of regions which are far away on the globe, and easy to mislead yourself. (This is a problem with physical globes as well.)

For many types of mapping use cases, orthographic projections are substantially worse than other possible choices.

Sometimes physical spheres (or virtual representations of spheres as dynamic orthographic or perspective projections) are nice. That’s why I spent a whole bunch of time building myself a spherical chalkboard, for example. But they aren’t the best choice for any purpose. Personally I don’t think they make a very good choice for a general-purpose world map. They are better as a supplement to flat maps.
Exactly - you have to hold yourself accountable for working hours, or hold yourself accountable for getting the work done.

Agree on the exercise as well - no matter what time I go to the gym, my "best" working part of the day seems to come afterwards.
Product design for kids
The question is no longer to store à lot of nodes/edges. Or be Gremlin compatible. They have become basic requirements. [Btw, as far as I understand, if you are Gremlin compatible, then you are cypher compatible. Can anyone confirm?] But the point is to be innovative feature-wise.
For example, I like the :schema feature of Cypher, so you can retrieve in no time the schema of your graph. [That helps understand the data and helps design relevant queries over the data].
Do you provide anything like this?
For what it's worth, the non-paywalled blurb seems to be saying something more specific than "fasting kills cancer", it's saying that cancers that develop resistance to cisplatin are more susceptible to fasting than cancers that aren't. So, even if cisplatin doesn't work directly, cisplatin-resistance has a beneficial side-effect that one might be able to exploit.

(This point seems to have been buried under the many posts expressing an opinion or anecdote about fasting in general.)
It's pretty close to an 18/6 IF, depending on whether or not he does the tea in the evening.
There's a ton of extensions that do exactly that.
This argument seems to hinge on the following statement that I don't understand:

> an SSH key password is unlikely to be managed by a password manager: instead it’s something you remember.

Why is that the case? I've always been just as likely to use a password manager for my SSH key password—after all, I'm usually prompted for my SSH key password from my terminal, which accepts pasted passwords just fine.

Am I missing something?
tl;dr to move to the newer more secure format use

ssh-keygen -o -p -f file_name

not necessary for ed25519 as it can only be stored in the new format.
This is so hypocritical when the West does the exact same thing.
New FPGA Development Boards Supported with Open Source Tools
This point backs up the statement of ~this parent~ rossdavidh's reply: programmers and engineers are woefully unequipped to perform any significant social science research. If they were, then tech companies would have little to no need to hire research psychologists or human factors specialists. They'd instead hire programmers and engineers that specialize in getting people addicted to technology.
MP3s still do the trick.
Doesn't hurt to learn other skills that are in demand like Node. However being an independent contractor you're at an advantage (when building new solutions) because the client may not care what you use as long as you build a deliverable that meets their requirements and solves their problem. In my opinion which may be biased since I prefer the .NET and Microsoft ecosystem there's never been a better time to be on .NET. The new direction for the company is .NET Core which means great performance and cross-platform capabilities. The ease of deployment allows for leveraging the cloud with containers and serverless solutions that can run on Windows or Linux environments. Add on to that SQL Server starting with 2016 being available on Linux and you have a winner. That's on the back end of things. On the front end you have ASP.NET Core with support for SPA applications if you choose not to use Razor Pages. You also have Blazor which look interesting as well. For mobile development you have Xamarin. If you want to do Machine Learning you have tools like ML.NET and CNTK. Long story short, with Microsoft becoming more open and offering tools for developers to be productive on Azure as well as ways for people to build the next wave of solutions like Chatbots, Augmented Reality, Microservices, etc. having invested so much time on the .NET platform can be rewarding because the transition to these new set of tools can be seamless and your opportunities endless.

Being an exec in someone else's business and running my own show, the hardest things have been the most basic:
1) Managing people.
2) Collecting from clients.
3) Finding and cultivating clients for the long run.

It's that simple. What's interesting is, I don't recall ever touching on those issues with any depth in my undergrad business classes. Sure we studied "best practices" in hiring, managing, layoffs, etc, but that's very different than the day-to-day of building a team from scratch and getting people to produce at their best level. Likewise, I took a lot of financial management and accounting classes, but that's totally different from some jerk customer who decides they just don't want to pay their bill out of spite, forcing you to litigate, where the dollar amount represents potentially months of payroll. There are so many things like this that are _basic business_ and yet until you've been there, it's hard to really know how to prepare for it or build the skills for it.

I agree with you, but I think people avoid even the possibility//higher risk associated with the awkward start of the conversation.

You can only have success in building interfaces if you first understand who your users are, and what problem you're solving for them.

The author compares the benefits of flashy, spread-out interfaces and CLI. The truth is that both have incredible value in the right contexts. The tricky part is making an interface that is easy to pick up, but powerful enough for power users.

If you deeply understand your users you can build adaptive user interfaces[0]. LayerVault experimented[1] with the idea of progressive reduction—stripping down UI elements as the user becomes more familiar so they can work more efficiently.

Ask HN: Is there a collab tool that combines excel with git?
At my company, whenever there is a project, we have to use a huge ass excel spreadsheet to keep track of the various items.

However, this methodology clearly sucks and there are several problems with it including:

- Inability for multiple users to open the spreadsheet without copying and creating another spreadsheet on their local machine. Now we have a multiple version problem.
- Inability to really keep track of change (coworkers usually just highlight the cell of an item that has an issue yellow, or red, or whatever whenever there is a problem and then write up the issue in yet another column)
- Inability to keep track of who asked for the change (who marked this item yellow?) or who fixed it, or when did they fix it.
- It is easy to make mistakes. The current spreadsheet we have for a project is easily 80 columns by 20k rows. Let's hope you don't have an off by one row error when you're entering in something.
- Along with the above, nobody can tell what has been deleted, or added (other than color) because the spreadsheet is huge and even removing five items is hard to see.
- The idiot who started this mess is clearly trying to use excel as a database.

So is anyone aware of a tool that can behave similar to excel, tracks historical user changes and see differences between revision (pretty much what git does) and generally make my coworkers significantly less miserable?
To bad. I found this really useful and would often use Firefox to look at RSS of podcasts.

Sadly many pages don't have a good page to browse threw or search podcast. In the RSS page you could do a page search and find all the relevant info.

However there are probably other ways to achieve the same thing, so I'm not really all that opposed.

Fortunately, my trusty old LaserJet 1010 does not have a network interface. But I suspect that outside of organizations dealing with classified data, printer security is fairly terrible, anyway.

I disagree that this theorem is very deep. Even a CS-grad noob like me can easily understand several proofs of it.
The user experience of doing this is very bad. Every time I look into doing this I end up with blog posts that describe punching numbers into the GPG CLI, master keys, subkeys, PIN's. I don't want to be a GPG enthusiast, I just want to use my SSH key safely. (No offense to GPG enthusiasts!)

And most of that honking is actually illegal because in NYC it is illegal to honk except in an emergency. Even some basic enforcement of traffic laws would stop the honking. The US in general seems to have very little appetite for actually enforcing traffic laws, though.

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat, but this one was talking about resistance to cleaning products such as alcohol.

Developing a resistance to them is like developing a resistance against being burned alive. A thicker skin might help you somewhat with mild concentrations, but at the end of the day, basic biology says you can't build alcohol-proof bacteria.
Don't forget non-existent enforcement of traffic laws. In NYC, it is illegal to honk except in an emergency situation. You would never know that from listening to traffic, though.
That’s not what’s being asked. No one person, or team of people, can determine that.

What the article is proposing is that creators of new technologies inform the public so that the general public can decide if new laws are required to prevent that new technology from being misused against the public at large.

There’s precedents here and I’ve written a ton of comments about them if you want to read a bit about why such a proposition is the only ethical option.
I'm sorry to hear this.

I used to have major struggles like this when I was younger. I think people like us are very much in our own heads, maybe too much. Sometimes it's good for us to just jump out there and socialize. Sometimes all it takes is to pretend to be outgoing for 2 hours at a time. Go to a conference for work, or play sports at the gym, whatever. Of course it's a challenge every time, and I'm oversimplifying (I'm definitely no mental health professional). It took me years -- decades really -- to get more comfortable being outgoing. But a life lived with good relationships is truly a more fulfilling life.

Progress in this area often happens by way of other activities, because it's just less initially awkward, and people have things in common. Do you like sports? Join a softball team. Music? Take lessons, and play shows and meet people. Go to the same restaurant regularly and get to know the staff. Volunteer and help others. Join a church or an organization with people that share your beliefs. Have conversations with people you come across -- take interest in the Uber drivers' lives, and you'll quickly become their favorite customer. Once you have good connections with a group of people, before you know it you'll start meeting their friends, and so on, and eventually you'll have your own group of buddies that you'll see around town.

Also, you're connecting with others on Hacker News, which is something. I think you might have more of a knack for this than you realize. I would say to do what you're doing here -- people don't have enough conversations in the real world, so people that do so stand out as being friendly.

It hurts me to hear of other people going through what I went through and still do from time to time. But if I could boil what I've learned down to one piece of advice, I would say, show others that you care about them. They're very likely going through struggles similar to what you are experiencing.

Every person in our lives is a gift, and it's easy for all of us to forget this.

Wishing you the best!
>Fortunately, being an exchange for crypto they're unregulated, so they can do what they like. They basically have a policy where they can take money from people to cover the cost they incurred liquidating this position.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that exactly how it would work on an above-board, regulated exchange too? Their first, second, and third priority is making sure you can pay back your margin/short; they don't care, and aren't required to care, that they could get a better price if they just held out "till Thursday".

The only way a regulated exchange might be different is that they would be required to price (and credit) the assets in the forced sale from a representative sample across multiple exchanges, in order to avoid shenanigans from very local flash crashes that don't represent the best market price.

Yes, you can. Order is just a relation, i.e. a set that contains pairs of elements. So for example, let X be the relation <. X is a subset of NxN, the cartesian product of N. We say that n<m if the pair (n,m) is in X. Moreover, we say that (n,n+1) is in X, and whenever (n,m) in X and (m,k) in X, then (n,k) in X. This constitues order on naturals.
