I am not so sure about this argument.

Each person is their own person. Employees are not computers. Provided they are not breaking any laws, but merely using the resources and power at their disposal. I think the truth of it is.. this is just how government functions.

In fact, no one would bat an eyelid if this were for personal gain. Ideology seems to really bother people from either side of the political spectrum.

But I mean, personally I would have an issue with doing something like this myself. It does seem dishonest, but then.. Trump.
As we learned from the last election what Americans say and what they do can be two totally different things. I'll believe any change in people's behavior when I see it. Right now Facebook and its companies seem to be making money hand-over-fist.

The programming subreddits aren't as good as HN. I follow quite a few local subreddits (my city, Yosemite, etc).
I've got a question about this, as I've been hurled into the admin of our certs, and honestly I probably shouldn't be the one to do it, lol.

But, we run root certs from DigiCert with the rest of the chain provided by RapidSSL. However, I have not received any depreciation warnings via email or any notification in the console output on these sites.

Is there a utility available to "check" our sites, in the same way vendors provide utilities to verify your cert installations? Or should I assume that our stack is going to get caught up in this, and move to find alternative certs now?
Amazing! Normally its the US has too low of a population density to possible offer comparable prices to Europe. Now its the opposite. I will never cease to be amazed at the rationalizations.
Also, don't ignore suffering (humans adapt to suffering very quickly). I have many times seen cases where years went by before someone asked "how much work would it take to engineer a solution to pain point X" and the answer was "less than a week."

But in all seriousness, Pomodoros are great when I'm unsure / keyed up about a new project and prone to wander off "researching."

IME, eventually the Pomodoros inevitably give way to extended sessions with flow.
I'll throw my hat in the ring for how my social media usage has changed. I've largely moved off of social media and onto chat networks. Discord seems to have nearly every type of interest group. I use Telegram for international sports and random tech groups. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat usage has gone down significantly for me. I was checking Reddit daily for a year but that has gone down significantly. I don't know if it's an Eternal September thing or what but that site has seemed to have regressed to memes and recycled content across all of the subreddits.

I'm still learning about Mastodon but it seems like it utilizes the same concepts as Discord and other chat apps except it's federated which seems really cool to me.

> The long-term solution for this Human problem -I believe is to for employees to own corporations.

We're right back to confederation. No one wants to deal with this shit otherwise they already would, hence federation instead.

> And by employees owning corporations. I mean 1-person-1-vote, instead of 1-share-1-vote. Managers and CEOs can still exist, but is not permanent. Employee-owners can recall them anytime, and they can agree for a quarterly or semi-annual evaluation. Employee-owners also decide how much to pay Managers and CEOs, how to use the profit. You may ask if this company can survive? This has been done in large scale by Mondragon, a corporation and federation of worker cooperatives based in the Basque region of Spain. Not perfect but it has done good progress.

No one would ever agree to this except employees. Mondragon works because it pays basically what would be paid regardless. The actual executives managing the Mondragon foundation are not constrained to the same pay structures that the people working in the coops are. The number of non-owning employees is also growing fairly rapidly.

Well done! Some commenters have compared this to ImageMagick. I would equate this to comparing love2d [1] to SDL. If you want a user-friendly API for quick image manipulation, use Snowy. If Snowy doesn't give you the level of control you need, use something like ImageMagick or vips.

I could see myself using this in the future.

I think by now that saying has definitively proven false.
To be fair, most other top hardware makers they're being compared to have been in the game for decades. And even then, the flaws were never that big. The biggest one so far has been a screen that shifts blue on tilt, but Apple and Samsung (the two biggest and best hardware makers out there) have had bigger issues (exploding phones, bending phones, reception issues, etc).

Also not sure why you randomly mention Android Wear, which to this point is purely software for Google, in the middle of a hardware comment.

It does, probably not the drawbacks you think of though (“conceptual overhead of types”?).

Generally, you seem to be awfully incompetent in a language you claim to have used for a year. That’s not a bad thing, but you don’t present your arguments with a big fat disclaimer stating that. If you did, I think there would be much less tension in these kind of discussions.

Abstractions make it easier to reason, but you need a lot of suffering-the-detail to know what they should be (analogous to do things that don't scale).

If abstractions help you think, abstracting wrong makes you think wrong - and harder to think right than without them.

So it's helpful to use abstractions others have already schlepped out e.g. in mathematics... but there's no guarantee that it's the right one for your particular situation.

“Big hat no cattle”
My understanding is basically vista was a huge step forward in the security and stability of the OS, but those changes made traditional backwards compat harder to maintain (eg old software was more likely to break), and the driver model changes made the entire windows driver system waaaaymore secure, at the cost of requiring either substantial rewrites (especially for the gpu drivers) or slow compat layers. After a couple of years drivers etc had settled down so performance horrors had been fixed, and more software was actually doing the right thing, but by then win7 was out.

Because of the problems with it people (incl oems) didn’t sell it :-/

I'm also a user and not a programmer. There are things I use a browser for, and things I use proper programs for. There is some overlap, in the space of email, video watching (I'm entirely too lazy to stream every video I watch through VLC), and to a small degree gaming (i.e. Flash). There are a great many things I do not do because I hold to my beliefs. Overall, I don't feel I lose anything. If anything, I gain peace of mind that my browser doesn't have more data leaking out to servers than I'm willing to accommodate.

Does feel like Google putting their brand (and support) behind u2f keys will improve public perception of it. Though understand the concern about it being China made.

Hope this means other bigco will come out and improve manufacturing options, distribution options, bring the consumer cost down etc?

Qn of why are so few companies selling security keys if it's so important? Is Yubikey the ONLY safe option?

agree that cost is still prohibitive for small companies, home consumers, those in countries with weaker forex etc. Security should be able to cost less in order to be more widespread. Current it's like a first world luxury for those who can afford it, to be walled off into a harder-to-attack group like how mac users used to be more secure because there so few of them they were not worth general hacking.

Am glad to see Google strongly, actively, loudly pushing anti phishing security forward to all consumers through all their channels, which all other companies can do much more of. Eg if Apple sold a $100 u2f key through all their retail stores etc.
It’s plenty dev friendly, so long as you don’t let the Enterprise guys take over the account and have their management squeeze the life out of it and de-prioritize all work related to those projects once they own them.

Just make sure that your developers and immediate developer management keep the keys to that kingdom in your own hands, and you will be fine.
I wonder how this applies to Chinese/Japanese? I can sometimes guess the meaning of words I don't know because I recognize the kanji. Sometimes even if I don't recognize the kanji, but recognize the radicals, I can still guess. I'm not advanced enough for this to happen often, but it does happen.

Not affiliated, but recently switched to Kitty from iTerm 2 on OS X on my main at-work MacBook Pro and I’ve been very impressed. It’s snappy, easy to configure and works well with my zsh/tmux setup with a few tweaks. I would love to drop tmux in favor of kitty’s sessions and multiplexing, but old habits die hard, so it will take some time.
iTerm2 now supports Metal for GPU-based rendering by default (when you aren't on battery). It's now blazingly fast all of the time.

Bad vs. Good metrics
My view is that whomever authored the anonymous letter believes they are a true patriot and I agree with them at least within the motivations presented in the letter.

It is better for someone to be loyal to the ideals of freedom, democracy, and making the world a better place, even if only out of purely selfish interests (that still fits an enlightened nationalist ideology, which is also plausible of whomever wrote the letter); than it is to be loyal to any single individual. Particularly one whom someone believes does NOT ascribe or live up to those ideals.
This works fine but you can only do it if there are large foreign reserves of your currency. Now, since foreign reserves of USD are massive, we can print a lot of money (relatively) before it becomes a problem, but it isn't like this exempts you from market effects. The reason foreign reserves of USD are so high in the first place is that we usually do this very little.
I have experienced quite a lot of people pushing to over-abstract code (abstractions that will are used only once with reuse being wishful thinking for the far future) and very little pushback against as though reaching the "perfection" of abstracted code has a moral high ground.

I would like to balance the difficulty of wading through abstractions with the difficulty of repetitive code, not to act like one difficulty is superior to the other.

The experience part is key. I have junior engineers who implement solutions without understanding the whole they're adding to. They end up believing they're peeling an onion and start crying. There is no onion. It's a potato; peel it and throw it in the pot!

It's difficult to tell them that they're not suffering though. I've sat many down to explain that we don't need containerized components and rearchitecting into an SOA with a blue-green deploy model. They protest nonetheless. But what do I know after 15 years of engineering? I surely know that our customers' suffering caused by their relief of suffering will make us all suffer more.
This is one reason why moving jobs somewhat frequently can be very beneficial. You and your employer have different sets of papercut blindness and you can both help each other.

Best terminal I've found except for a complete deal-breaker for me: Lack of support for bitmap fonts (meaning I cannot comfortably use them in low DPI monitors), and the author has no intention of adding them.

HPolyC is "bigger" but is built out of cryptographic components you generally already have to trust: the Poly1305 MAC and the XChaCha cipher. It's a construction, not a new block cipher transform. So obviously it takes more lines of code to run it. But it introduces fewer new primitives.
This is most easily explained by examples.

Before:

I'll get my clients to give me access to an S3 bucket that I can push their data to.

Now:

I'll make sure I get my clients to give me a password or public key to encrypt their data before I push it to the S3 bucket because many people fuck up security on those things.

To my end user, it's obviously more secure, but it isn't lining my pocketbook and most end users don't care about security, even if they should. Same thing with security headers or anything, really. Security slows you down at some point.
Ask HN: Are there any advantages to distributed Machine Learning?
No idea, I've never tried to install it on a MBP. When it comes to Apple hardware, I tend to stick to macOS. It's Unix enough for me and while I prefer something like awesomewm, I'm willing to accept the limitations of the desktop environment and go about my day.

Linux desktop in 2018 is incredible though. On my desktop, I'm running an RX 580 on AMD's open source drivers and I can play modern Windows games at >= 60fps using WINE + dxvk. Steam is even officially supporting it now. Just wait 2-3 years and GNU / Linux will be the way to go.
Wild Dolphins Learned to 'Tail-Walk' From Captive Ones
Is there any penalty for being overzealous regarding the protection of your copyrights? I understand that individuals could litigate, but I would assume that to be a long winded process.
Mastodon really has the exact same feel as twitter. The difference being that CAP theorem produces really weird conversational effects.

If you look at the myriad Mastodon domains, operating as single-instance hosted websites, on whatever infrastructure they deploy to, very, very few sites have more than 1,000 users, and any of the under 1,000 club are filled with mostly geeky accounts, and a fanout of a handful of lurker accounts per each identifiable personality.

The one really, really huge Mastodon node is basically filled with sex workers (and their johns, presumably), and is operated out of Australia.

That being said, consider what CAP theorem does to conversations as federated servers pop in and out of existence as they go offline. It's going to be link rot to all hell. You can figure that the prostitution Mastodon instance is probably going to experience some pressure, and eventually collapse. And not only that, any users on that trunk of the federation will disappear. So what happens to the followers, and the followed? Where do the conversations go? Does it matter? It's mostly the promotional efforts of ladies (and not-so-much-ladies), hawking their fare.

Anywho, right now, suffice to say, Mastodon is in a weird place. The first people driven out of Twitter, were using Twitter as a bunker, after Backpage was dismantled. Then Twitter cracked down on those sorts of accounts, and now they're pioneering the largest Mastodon community in operation, because there are few open options.

So, Mastodon is likely going to become associated with that sort of Craigslist vibe, but in the form of a Web 2.0, single page web app, right now. And where that will take things in the future is anybody's game, but we see what happens to these underground bunkers over and over again. Mastodon will unfold a little bit differently though, because of it's Twitter-style publicity angle.
