I really don't think he's insane. I think he's a narcissistic man child and an idiot. I'll expand on that. Just look at his behaviour on The Apprentice. He would routinely favour ineffective sycophants over effective, successful independent minded candidates, and that's what he does in office.

Being an idiot doesn't mean you're completely useless. There are some things he's very good at, his father prepared him well for success in the real estate world. However he has a very simplistic view of the world and doesn't have the intellectual skills to change that. This leads him to actions that seem insane to anyone who understands their context and implications, but he doesn't understand those so from his perspective his actions are rational. Combine that with his instinctual preference for the appearance of success over actual success, and you've got a recipe for real trouble.
I think both Fish and Kakoune fall into this category. They're a shell and a CLI/TUI text editor that feel incredibly modern compared to their predecessors (i.e. Zsh and Vim).

OWASP: Code Review Metrics
Strongly typed pointers is just another name for direct memory access.

The following is perfectly typesafe:

SuperClass[] items = GetArrayOfSubClass();

Now if we try to do unsafe things to items, we may end up accidentally accessing memory we shouldn't.

unsafe
{
for (int i=0; i < items.Length; i++)
{
var currentItem = &items[i*sizeof(SuperClass)];
}
}

This may or may not work, based on the runtime memory-layout of the subclass.

Basically the presence of unsafe {} means that beyond this point correctness cannot be guaranteed by the compiler. That's in fact what the keyword is for.

And that's the marker you are looking for. No need to go digging deeper into the code looking for the actual pointers themselves.

"According to RiskIQ, they even went so far as to acquire a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate - which suggests to web browsers that a web page is safe to use."

The BBC's technology reporting usually isn't that bad for a mainstream audience, but this is just egregious. On the one hand, perpetuating the myth that "anything I do on this page must be super safe because there's a green padlock", and on the other completely exaggerating the difficulty of going HTTPS now we have LetsEncrypt.

My personal (and possibly unpopular) hot-take on these types of schemes are that they should be against the law. It's the same concept with the Brave browser.

I don't feel like these organizations have a right to attempt to represent other entities without express consent.

I mean they take money on behalf of other individuals/organizations, advise those paying them that they will forward the money on and then attempt to coerce the target entity to sign their contract, accepting based on their terms/pay out ratio, usually based on some opaque "formula".

> Poor peasants living hand-to-mouth don’t have the luxury of burnout or sabbaticals. They work every day or their family dies.

There is plenty of historical evidence that shows otherwise.

In most subsistence societies people, including farmers, worked far less than now and with less pressure, lived in a more social environment and had a lot of holidays (especially in the middle ages).
> AMP doesn't give Google any control over content or revenue.

It gives Google control over serving the content and how it's ranked when users search for it. That's quite a bit of sway, I'd think.

> AMP doesn't enforce a uniform interface. Its restrictions are primarily technical; not stylistic.

Most AMP pages look very similar to me. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does suggest that there might be some sort of technical hurdle to make content that deviates from the standard layout that Google recommends.
Objects don't outright disappear: As with other event horizons, they freeze in time and become redshifted as they approach the cosmological one (they also become fainter due to an increase in proper distance).

The cosmological event horizon is the light cone at future infinity and the asymptotic boundary of the observable universe: Light emitted within the horizon will take a finite time to reach us, whereas light emitted right at the horizon would take an infinte amount of time to arrive; in a way, light emitted beyond the horizon still moves towards us in the sense that the comoving distance decreases, but we'd have to wait a longer-than-infinte amount of time for it to arrive...
Ask HN: How to minimize recommendations
I vehemently dislike all types of recommendations on the Internet, as I feel they narrow my point of view, and actively hinder me in discovering new areas of interest. I have been thinking I'm not the only one.

If you feel like me, which plugins, other software and/or tactics would you recommend to minimize recommendations?

It wasn't always like this, so it doesn't always need to be like this. It's just like this now. Assuming it can never be changed or saying that someone "is free to solve it" isn't super helpful. People can recognise things are problems without having the immediate capacity to alter reality to suit the solution.
Most network devices support jumbo frames¹, which are an IEEE standard, but they aren't the default. The point is not the IEEE standard, but what most devices are configured for.

How so?
"Other analysts point to the dangers of lofty stock prices and rising indebtedness among non-financial corporations, many of which have been borrowing heavily to finance stock buybacks and other ventures. A recent McKinsey study showed that in the past ten years the amount of outstanding corporate debt has tripled across the world. In the United States, the study noted, almost two-thirds of non-financial debt is rated as junk or one notch above junk. Roughly three trillion dollars of this questionable credit is set to mature in the next five years. If the economy falters, or if interest rates rise sharply, many corporations may find themselves in the position of new mortgage holders a decade ago—unable to repay or roll over their debts."

1. This has me concerned.

2. I almost feel like some of these 1 percenters are gambling. They know they are the only ones getting these loans, at low very interest rates. Interest rates that have been to low for to long. (Yes--give me a 5% cd. I'm not investing in this bloated market.)

3. And the thesis of the article is wether Trump, and the GOP will bailout these boys if they screw things up?

Of course the GOP will take care of their own. Trump will go along with them if he's around? He will probally blame our wonderful social safety net. That will be his mantra if we have a crisis.

This is one of the main reasons that this report doesn’t touch upon read access of the database. Rachna Khaira, one of the reporters already has a police case against her for her previois reporting on Aadhar database compromise.

If a $5 tool can give you write access to a database, it is obvious whole database can be accessed too.

Maybe if you work in the Land of the Free™ and live in constant fear of getting fired for some inconsequential reason, you have to have to abase yourself daily to your manager and act like a wage slave supplicant. Is that a life anyone can really be satisfied with, deliberately allowing oneself to be downtrodden for the sake of a few shekels?

Do you have a job where you simply do as you are told, like a private being shouted at by a drill sergeant, or do you have a career where your expertise and contributions have some significant value?

Work is full of compromises. No matter how hard you try, at some point you're going to end up giving advice or information to people which runs counter to what they would have preferred to hear. "No" is rather absolute. What would be more typical is suggesting that a course of action might be unwise, and suggesting possible alternatives along with the tradeoffs for each approach, i.e. criticise but in a constructive way. And let others decide which pros and cons are most important. You bring specific expertise and insight, and provide that to the group and decision makers, along with qualified recommendations, maybe very strong recommendations if the situation warranted it. Your recommendations and advice might well be ignored, but it's still important to make them in the first place so that they are at least known and considered.

You don't just live your life to satisfy your boss. You also have to live with yourself. Sometimes, for example, companies make very short-term decisions at the expense of their own longer-term viability and at the expense of their existing customers. Who internally acts as the voice of those customers and the future company if not you? If you didn't at least raise questionable design tradeoffs so that the consequences were well understood and informed decisions could be made, you are doing your employer a disservice (in my opinion). It doesn't matter what the ultimate decision is, but that you act professionally and provide all the necessary information for others to work with. If you get fired for trying to do your best for the company, you're well out of a bad company.
Yeah, I'm from western EU and share that same idea. I don't mind paying the taxes because they are put to good (imo) use.

Which is interesting - my wife has a quite different background (North America) and sees the socialism as a waste of money, as it mostly helps the poor and disadvantages the 'less poor'.

Personally, my view is that right now my family has it well, but it might not be like that forever and _maybe_ the system will repay itself and maybe it won't, but I'm happy knowing that it's there just in case.

> Why does it matter if it's Equifax or some other company? Employers are still handing over the data.

Because in a just world, Equifax would be disbanded after that fiasco. They shouldn't be running around, offering more data-vacuuming services. GP and their colleagues did their part to send a market signal that they're not OK with the current state of affairs.
You can change the license but you can't take but what you have given away. If you default to a permissive license you can't decide that people can't earn money with what you have already given them whereas you can always decide later on to offer a more permissive license should you desire.
Because making a TLS stack mandatory for doing DNS is both ridiculous and also a non-starter. Ridiculous because if you think adding DNSSEC verification to a DNS library is hard, try adding a TLS stack. The hard part isn't recursive queries. All DNS libraries, even stub resolves, already need to handle recursive resolution to follow CNAME chains as caching servers don't normally return resolved chains unless they're (a) in-bailiwick or (b) the chain can be resolved from cache. The ugly part is attaching such a complex dependency to all the various third-party resolvers out there.

A non-starter because I've written DNS servers and clients that saw widespread deployment and by far the biggest headache was networks that blocked TCP on port 53. DNS over TLS uses port 853. LOL Like that's gonna work better.

Same analysis applies to DNS over HTTP, except now you're adding a whole HTTP stack to your DNS library. For heaven's sake....

Why not just get the slow, painful death of the open internet over with and move everything to AWS. We can have AWS terminals using opaque, bespoke protocols for everything. We can merge the AWS and Blink/Chrome teams and we can delegate the development of all new novel network services to them.

Sure, but allowing half the banks to fail would not have lead to a little dip. The collapse of Lehmans was very damaging for many perfectly healthy, well managed firms that depended on them. The only reason the effects were not worse was that there were other banks around to pick up the pieces, but if the domino effect had been allowed to play itself out the dramatic loss of capacity in the banking sector would have been truly catastrophic.

Note that the bailout money wasn't simply gifted with no strings, it was leant and paid back with a profit to the tax payer. Of course QE had it's costs and they were very high, there were other costs as well, but they're often exaggerated.

Paying off everyone's mortgages sounds lovely, how nice. In reality everyone would have rushed out and re-mortgaged their properties again, attempted to re-invest or spend their wind fall leading to massive house price inflation and a titanic credit binge the likes of which the world has never seen. The consequences would have been apocalyptic.
Didn't google remove them from image search results?
As a parent, I fail to see exactly how I'm guilty of anything here. I used the banks because I had to, I listened to their advice because I can't possibly become an expert on their subjects, etc. I even voted for people who want to regulate them. I don't play on the stock exchange (pension funds do, with my money). I didn't do anything wrong.

My children will pay for the mess a few made by pushing unreasonable expectations and by not listening to people like me.

I don't remember which airport it was, but I remember seeing a facial recognition scanner where the camera first physically moves up/down to match the height of the person (which takes a few seconds), and then takes a photo. Quite a ridiculous system if you ask me.
I’m not sure about it actually being used in compilers. However as I understand it the simply typed lambda calculus does not support recursive functions. If you want a typed functional language you have to introduce as a primitive a recursive combinatory like fix or the Y combinator.
I know at the Oslo airport it's fairly common to never show ID or your boarding pass to a person if you're flying within Schengen. --Check in at the automated kiosk, put on your own luggage tag, scan the tag at the bag drop, and you're done there. Passing through security means scanning your boarding pass rather than showing it to someone most of the time, and finally many of the gates have automated doors where you scan your boarding pass again to board the plane. The same applies to other Scandinavian airports as well.

You make some reasonable points, but many of them don't reflect my experience with Lambdas.

> It makes managing multiple environments (e.g. development, staging, production) almost impossible.

It certainly doesn't. You just have to use an infrastructure-as-code tool such as Terraform or Serverless. AWS's own method of dealing with environments is best ignored.

> Lambda adds all sorts of unexpected limits on your code; e.g. cold starts, maximum function execution duration and others.

Like any other platform, Lambdas have certain perforamance limitations you need to be aware of. They're not a fit for every problem but the future is going to be increasingly serverless. These limitations are likely going to be much less of a problem as the technology matures.

> The lock-in factor is significant; once you're hooked into Lambda and all the surrounding services that it encourages, you cannot leave and you have no bargaining power in terms of hosting costs and your future is entirely dependent on Amazon.

Again, use of a platform-agnostic setup like Terraform helps mitigate against this. In theory it ought to be relatively simple to change FaaS providers (I haven't actually tried this).

> You're contributing to centralization of wealth and power instead of helping small companies and small open source projects. You're helping to turn Amazon into yet another too big to fail company with infinite leverage on the rest of the economy.

The centralisation of power and wealth is true to an extent but there are two sides to this. It's also empowering for small organisations. It allows small companies to very quickly ramp up availablity and have extremely solid reliability without a specialised infrastructure team. You can also start up something very quickly and cheaply given AWS's free usage tier.

Although this comment in RisqIQ's report (https://www.riskiq.com/blog/labs/magecart-british-airways-br...) is even worse - it suggests that LetsEncrypt certs are less "legitimate" than paid ones: "Interestingly, they decided to go with a paid certificate from Comodo instead of a free LetsEncrypt certificate, likely to make it appear like a legitimate server"

There is nothing "easier" in feeling unhappy or angry. Mental illness is widespread across billionaires despite their wealth. It's also well known that mental illness is less common in traditional, less developed societies.

> ... I think the attitude of always needing to be angry ... can itself tip some people into mental illness.

No. People cannot artificially create mental illness in themselves by simply thinking "negatively".
There is no simple self-destruct button in our mind: people need to go through (untreated) trauma, pressure, abuse from external sources or diseases or serious genetic conditions.
