>anthropomorphizing (it's a word if I want it to be)

I think it's a real conjugation of a real word regardless of whether or not you want it; 'anthropomorphize' is a thing
>You might ask yourself how OpenSSH ended up with this. The sad answer is the OpenSSL command line tool had it as a default, and now we’re stuck with it.

Given that (as far as I know) the decryption is handled only on the client side, why does an old default matter? Does it break any kind of compatibility to change that? Why only use the better algorithm for EC keys?

And even if it did break compatibility it's not like it usually stops the OpenSSH folks, old ciphers and hash functions are deprecated regularly (I have to whitelist a bunch of ciphers at work to connect to legacy systems running an old dropbear).
This goes to the article's point about caching; a chat app -- of all programs -- should cache conversations for a fast boot up. Sure, _updating_ the conversations -- the "cloning" stage -- may take some time, but why should you have to wait for the network requests to complete before seeing your past conversations?

The git equivalent would be if you had to wait for git to do a fetch/pull every time you ran "ls" on a git-controlled folder. It would be insane, and no one would use git (or any other version control).
No moral overtones intended, the point being that the low cost and the form factor significantly lowers the barrier to entry.

I've been using a GPG smart card for a long time, and it required a separate card reader, and both card and reader were easy to break. A YubiKey 4 fits on a keychain, is hard to break (though some of my colleagues succeeded) and you just plug it in.
I know Fidelity has limited Vanguard options in the past in its 401k and IRA funds options, presumably for control/competition reasons. I'm definitely curious how well Fidelity will promote its own index funds over actively managed ones, given they are still competing on active fees versus passive, but now just with themselves.

I am planning to take a look at my own Fidelity accounts this weekend and see if they've surfaced these index funds well. It seemed encouraging from the email this morning.
If only there was a certificate authority management tool that was convenient
to use from command line and through an API, so it could be made into
a company-wide service.

There is this old tinyCA that comes with OpenVPN, but it's awful and can't do
much (I don't even remember if it could revoke a certificate). There are a few
instances of WWW-only CAs, and there are desktop/GUI applications. But command
line? /usr/bin/openssl only, and it's unwieldy. Even worse situation with
a CA library.

People like to fetishize OpenSSH's CA (for both client keys and server keys),
but there still a lot to do before it becomes usable. (Though the same stands
for the traditional save-on-first-use method, honestly.) You're basically
proposing to deploy software that maybe will be usable in a few years, with
a big "maybe", because until now it haven't materialized.
The old Symbolics Genera had a "terminal" which was extremely interactive and object based, yet still worked much like a modern text only terminal. I still love working in that operating system. Pictures, fonts, diagrams, etc., were all supported well. I have not tried video nor seen examples of it but those computers were responsible for some CGI in movies in their time, so may have been supported.
It's not impossible to cook eggs in a steel pan without sticking. (That's my preferred method) You have to heat your pan before adding oil. And you have to be careful with the surface, avoid scratching it and also making sure to remove any bits to do get stuck.

I agree that avoiding non-stick is probably minimally beneficial, but knowing that normal pans can be cooked on without things sticking, I avoid them.

This thread has really diverted into a pile of anecdotes. :)
It certainly doesn't help that they've apparently adopted the game development definition of a 'beta'. (i.e. an alpha that you roll out to all users.) There are several core features of the existing site which simply haven't been implemented yet - I consider that unacceptable for an all-users beta, especially in a redesign where those features are expected.

Visiting a user page and checking 'top' simply doesn't work, with a note that it will someday. And that's made even worse because the new 'hot' on user pages has some sort of godawful logic that only shows a handful of posts from a given thread. This is painfully apparent with AMAs, where visiting the AMA account and checking all posts is a standard action - after trashing the AMA infrastructure on the business side (the Victoria mess), the same thing is now happening on the tech side.

The new redesign requires every sub to build a new theme just to maintain existing functionality, and is apparently harder to theme for also. I suspect it's an attempt at homogeneity to be more welcoming to new users, but the practical consequence is that sidebars (rules, links, info) have simply vanished. Which means more work for moderators, less info for visitors, and occasionally complete dysfunction for subs that used the sidebar for something important.

And, of course, the redesign is nakedly anti-user in much the same way as the recent TechCrunch one. It's designed to make sponsored-content ads harder to distinguish, sacrifice content space for site features space, and promote time-on-site over user choice and experience.

I retreated to a handful of low-use, well-moderated subs quite a while ago, and with the site changes tarring even those I'll probably give up soon also.

Same thing. Issues that are known and don't get fixed are demotivating.
How to Land Your First Rust Pull Request in TiKV
We already pay tolls to access Manhattan on some bridges and all tunnels. With a congestion charge added, a return journey from Long Island City, Queens to Jersey, about 3 miles, would involve three tolls.
I had sort of an "aha" moment reading a non-technical co-workers conversation on Slack the other day. Someone built a Slackbot to show the menu for whatever food truck is outside our building that day, and people could use it just by typing "/foodtruck". They were blown away and loved it. Rather than opening a browser and navigating some disparate menu pages, they could simply fire off a command in their "console".

I realized that people love Slack because it has introduced them to the CLI paradigm of computing for the first time. CLI is so much more efficient and powerful if users can somehow be incentivized to put in the time and effort to become productive, which Slack has focused on a lot. As inefficient and silly as it may seem to us developers, Slack with it's endless command based integrations has succeed wildly at that where nothing else has so far.
"Frank prefers to think of these paintings as “badart,” one word, no hyphen. Badart is not the inverse of “good art”; it’s the inverse of “important art.” Some might call these pieces outsider art, and in the past, many of them could have been termed primitive or art brut."

Somehow, I don't think the "Museum of Bad Art" matches the rest of the article, which includes Bosch and Leonardo's grotesques.

And then, there's

"When Leonardo da Vinci began his search for beauty through interrogating a “series of disgusts,” as the historian Walter Pater terms it, he began by painting deeply misogynistic images (perhaps as a way to air out his disgust for heterosexual sex) and people with diseases and disabilities."

Walter Pater wasn't a historian. He was an art (or perhaps cultural) critic.
I call BS on that :) I suffered a heat stroke in Yokohama a while back and many young people and even elderly came to my and took me to nearby hospital, where I got treatment for $10!

Elsewhere in Asia, if you get hit by a car in China, nobody will stop and help you in fear of being involved and sued. This has been mentioned in western media countless times.
For the key storage format, not the key type, wouldn't that only be a problem where you copied a key to a redhat system? Requiring conversion there doesn't sound too bad?
In a world where you don’t have long held credentials - how do you get the short term credentials?
I won't claim to speak for others, but my formal education in Computer Science included a course on ethics and professionalism. It presented several ethical frameworks.

None of those ethical frameworks would lead me to conclude that, say, self-driving vehicles are net-negative for society.

My personal experience conducting research in computer science is that at least some of it is too abstract to have clear social consequences. What are the social consequences of making it marginally easier and faster to produce chip designs that are easy to manufacture?
The tax won't be the only piece of reform, it will get the ball rolling though, you just need to lose the defeatist attitude.
The article is claiming that a new study was just released, but the closest thing I can find is a Knight Foundation study that was done in March. Can anyone find the study the article is referring to? It doesn't seem to be in any of their links.
these are fucking insane psychos

they should be hunted down and killed

these worthless fucks will piss and shit on anything
Why not ? It could be a nice project
Probably because IRC is an outdated protocol with inferior features to Slack and very few good open source options for connecting. For example:

* DCC is still unreliable.

* There is no audio connection option, which is quite popular in 2018.

* Channel history management is ad hoc

* Authentication is done in band, in plain text.

* "secured" channels rely on this bad authentication, and if they don't (perhaps electing to manage it themselves) network flaws can completely steal your channel.

* IRC isn't even particularly open source, many servers and networks have private patches that are not shared publicly.

IRC isn't better than slack. I agree with you that it's confusing why people suggest that it ought to be.

Also, most IRC networks are controlled by entities even more inscrutable than Slack's executive team and board. I can go look up who runs slack, I cannot actually find good details on who runs any given IRC network. I have no idea what I'm dealing with or how they're using my data. I have no legal recourse if I do discover bad behavior, and I'm forced by the ossified protocol to keep using their insecure authentication mechanisms which make abuse trivial.
What about those batteries, is lithium an option?
Well, there was Chatroulette: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatroulette

It's hard not to see Japanese bonds as safe when they yield pretty much 0%.
Yeah I agree, the reason for lonely incels is definitely because of the SJWs and bums, probably feminists too. If it weren't for those cucks I could make friends by jumping on a stranger's shoulders in the middle of Herbergers, like just like the good ol' days. Nowadays you can't even so much as have a wank while explaining the melting temperature of steel beams in the food court without some SJW calling the cops on you. Loneliness as a young adult is completely unnatural and has nothing to do with finding a mature identity. All those control surveys cited from earlier generations in this article prove it. It's got nothing to do with an increasingly shallow group of close connections in a growing society, or a growing obsession with instant gratification. Definitely things that annoy me, like advertisements, bums, and women that refuse to have sex with me, even though I'm a total catch of a super-smart-hung-daddy-nice-guy.

Pretty sure my other account was shadow banned over this comment. Serious rhetoric wrapped in sarcasm... for fucksake.
I was sitting on a bench waiting for the bus in Denmark one day, and a very attractive young lady came up and said she'd like to give me a hug.

I'm old, and I was instantly very suspicious this was some sort of scam, or she had a partner that was going to rob me, or whatever. I couldn't believe she was just trying to be nice.

She talked with me for a while, and was not put off by my suspiciousness. Eventually I agreed to the hug, and it was very nice, and then she left. That was it. She didn't want anything from me, she just wanted to give.

It's a unique experience in my life. And a much appreciated one.
I think the history is a little more complex than that. It's not like provos was unaware of key stretching.
as someone who grew up relying on the F, any complaint about it will always get my upvote
I think you have the wrong interpretation of Trump voters.
Spotify is not making commercial advertisements showing all the raw data they have collected on you. Instead, they are probably doing things like aggregating data on their users and looking for trends.

It's more like watching security footage (or having machines watch it and let you know what they've observed) and then making decisions with that information.
> Every time a programmer adds an animation, a settings option should also be added to "disable animations".

You can disable every animation in OS X itself via the command line (defaults write). I put them all in a shell script that I run on new installs. You may be out of luck with 1Password.
This is actually slower in many cases. If you want to view 2D imagery and/or Mercator maps you can simply enable/disable Globe mode from the hamburger menu on the left.

I still think we should let expert users tweak it manually, but as a default I think that's a great idea!
> Spaces: The animation tells the user what is going on! Having the entire screen change instantly would be confusing for the vast majority of users.

That's an interesting point, and it makes me wonder if there's a level of nuance to be found here. For example, animations are acceptable iff they do not extend the time required to perceive the requested action.

In other words, it's already going to take me some fraction of a second to perceive any change; animations within that fraction of a second are perfectly fine. Anything that extends the change past that fraction of a second, however, is eating into my productivity (or at least, so the author would claim).
If I use an ssh key to connect to computers owned by multiple organizations and I can't control how those servers are configured can I still use an SSH CA? For instance I use my key to connect to my servers but also computers at work, super short lived sessions when I'm debugging some embedded device through SSH (those tend to be wiped/replaced a lot so I keep having to ssh-copy-id my key to them), github and other "cloud" hosts etc... Does SSH CA make sense in such a configuration?

I'm currently using a yubikey to hold my key (in the GnuPG smartcard applet) so I felt pretty confident security-wise but now you're making me doubt.
I find this true on a high carb breakfast (which most breakfasts are). If I eat 4 eggs for breakfast I easily go until dinner without eating, but will usually eat around 3pm. Then some days skip dinner.
my guess is this is not a common use case among their customers. why do you want a savings account anyway?
I'd guess they use both GDDR5 and DDR4 controllers in the design. AMD is really big on reusing designs (at 80-130 million per mask set for modern manufacture nodes, it's little wonder). Making a profit requires selling at least 10M chips (assuming around $200M masks/R&D and a $20 charge over base cost).

The 2400G is 209mm^2. Doubling the GPU will move that to somewhere around 275-300mm^2 which should place raw chip cost between $35-40 and final chip cost over $60 (probably closer to $80 minimum) with R&D, masks, and profit. But then there's binning. They will get 3 binnings with the target middle being the desired chip.

The extra 15mm^2 for a DDR4 controller would mean they can laser out the GDDR controller and sell it as a 2500/2600G chip or maybe (less likely) make a package that allows both DDR4 and GDDR5. That's a great use for those over/under performing chips.

A huge question here is L3 cache. Will they be adding extra L3 to try to offset the much larger GDDR5 latencies?

The KDF used for password-based symmetric encryption (gpg -c, private keys on disk) in GnuPG is also terrible - but at least it is an iterated KDF of a fast function, as opposed to one-shot. I would happily put up funds for a bounty to fix the default in GnuPG but I don’t know where to post/fund such a thing.
Top 50 Dynamic Programming Practice Problems
The option is there. It's in the hamburger menu, labeled "Globe".
as an auto mechanic I've been dying to touch on the subject of how cars and especially trucks have gotten louder over the years.

- hard tires that lower rolling resistance but increase noise. this combined with thin sidewall tires.

- lax enforcement of the noise ordinance with respect to riced out civic coffee can exhaust. these are rarer in 2018 as its impossible to install one without the emission control balking at you.

- streets that havent been paved since the carter administration

- heavy trucks with massive turbochargers and oversized "ram" air intakes (vortec, etc..) to appeal to businesses that want to save fuel costs. Vortec type intakes especially are deafeningly loud at scale.

- trucking companies that dont size their loads. Do not send a 53' lowboy into a densely populated city street. there are quieter options. sub it out to a millwright or last miler.

- heavy construction equipment companies that insist if they add catalytic converters, mufflers, or noise controls theyll have to declare bankruptcy. Same goes for companies that include the absolute loudest "motion" alarm for equipment (the beep beep sound.) Im looking at you, Komatsu.

- Cities that tolerate lax air standards for older construction equipment. these translate into lax noise standards as well.

- garbage trucks. Heil brand trucks are absolutely the noisiest trucks on the planet because they dont include ameneties like bumpers for their skids, or bumpers for the top of the truck to cushion the bin when it hits the rooftop. The arm for loading plastic bins was designed by a grad student and it shows. High speed lift and slam.
These are the best answers I've heard so far. What are your favorite projects or products that depend on these? Any more examples you feel worthy of mention?
The vast majority of people are not backing out. They're instinctively clicking that button to get it out of the way, it's the new banner blindness.
One of my favorite books on guitar theory, The Advancing Guitarist by Mick Goodrick, has a whole section called "The Science of the Unitar", about learning to play on just one string, as a way of thinking of the guitar differently.

To use your analogy, it doesn't take long in a conversation to tell if the person you're speaking with is well educated or not.
Unless it is a LARGE, clean, never touched food item like a box the paper should probably actually just go in to the compost stream anyway...

I would actually welcome a far more limited* (and to recyclable types) number of plastics allowed in packaging and requirements that they also cannot be fused to other materials. The numbers should be REQUIRED to be /raised/ or /impressed/ to a large degree and be VERY LARGE on the two dimensional face as well. A 'nearly legally blind' person should be able to still tell where the logo is and understand it's content.

The plastics / glasses binning should also assume they /are/ getting dirty consumer content and use an 'industrial' boiling water pot to dislodge and release the food waste. Such a processing step is more practical as part of the post-consumer input filter.
I made the same assumption but I think maybe they meant higher end of typical six-figure salaries, as in ~$180-200k. 900k for an individual contributor who isnt a very very particular addition to a team seems a bit high...
Doesn't Zillow have a similar tool to filter for properties within a given commute? You type in your work address and, say, 45 minute commute, and it redraws the bounds. Pretty cool tool.
That's because footage of them uses their image/likeness. If I used an amalgamation of all my customers it would be fine.
Wouldn't say that IRC has the same exact functionality as Slack. But the Slack mobile app does, and it runs far better than the desktop version (starts up in 3 seconds on a low-powered device instead of 30 on a much faster machine).
Uh well, as a Westerner I'm not afraid of robots because of awesome Japanese anime like EVANGELION, patlabor, gundam, macross, voltron, eureka, list goes on and on.
Is that not true of most dependency manager + build systems? To focus on maven as an example, maybe it doesn't have a post-install hook for dependencies it downloads, but any build or test dependencies downloaded while building a project are going to be immediately executed unsandboxed.

At least npm has the package-lock.json feature that lets you lock down the entire dependency graph. If the package-lock.json was created with a safe set of dependencies, then any dependencies compromised in the future won't affect you (because already released versions can't be modified). Maven and gradle both seem to entirely lack a comparable feature as far as I know; if they do have that functionality as an obscure feature or plugin, then I still criticize them for not making it more prominent. (Npm generates and uses package-lock.json by default!)
Or just add tolls to the rest of bridges and add the congestion tax to the toll price.
One think that can lead to loneliness is material abundance namely the abundance of houses. Here in Portugal we have 40% more houses than families. For instance the building that I live has 8 apartments and it was build 60 years ago. I have some neighbors that live here since the beginning. They told me there was a time it had 50 residents. Now there are only ten residents. We are so surrounded by abundance that we are more and more apart from each other. But we cannot stop building houses because that would mean less jobs and the end of economic growth.

most doctors get little to no nutritional education. It is easy to learn about any one topic and know more than your physician. Especially since most physicians dont regularly read journal articles and probably dont even really understand statistics.

Appeals to authority are a logical fallacy. I do agree that reading something on the internet and following it is a bad practice.
A friend worked in a startup where 20-30 people of the tech dept. had a hour long standup. QA, sysadmins, developers - all had their 2 minutes to essentially do a daily status update.

I'm glad I haven't lived through that hell.
Following that logic would mean that the more time we spend interacting with the medium the less important aesthetics/gestalt is, and that the medium should instead be focused solely on function.
I think one thing the low level tech focused individual can sometimes overlook is that it is humans interacting with these interfaces, and humans are varied, and as such interfaces need to incorporate many different methods of engaging the user.
> Okay...but presumably people can just opt out of their products.

The damage will be simply passed to other users in the form of lock-in tax that developers will need to compensate. It's all interdependent.
In an office, fuck off, no.

At home? I have a cat that loves chasing nerf darts. I'd raise an eyebrow with you if you questioned my owning one or two. It's just too damn funny to watch the cat go nuts and then look at me like I'm the bad guy when the dart stops moving.
