I'm a Mozillian who worked on MDN for 5 years, and now work on Firefox Privacy & Security. Most relevantly, I wrote the patch that implements strict-origin-when-cross-origin Referrer policy in Private Browsing Mode.

I certainly trust the MDN team to understand how to arrange their content to match their audience.

I also believe web developers should be more informed about the privacy & security issues of their work. The content you tried to add was verbose without any technical detail or links, and the MDN revision history isn't a great space for content discussion.

Have you tried filing a content bug? It's much easier to converse on bugzilla than thru edit battles.

Because my employer forces me to use G Suite and some of the features of that (Meet) don't work well (or at all) in non-Chrome browsers.
No service is perfect and github has had plenty of outages. They will only become more reliable with the resources of MS/Azure at their disposal.

Closed source, however, might bother one, especially in the context of privacy and trust.
So the shapefile is from a pre-internet era, so it has a .prj file that describes the projection in a detailed enough way so that any program can just look at the file and figure out how to handle the data. (that being said it's a shit format which is vague enough that there are 2 separate implementations of it that are very different, also it defines it's own serialization method, don't do that).

The European Petrolatum Survey Group creates it's own database of these projections (it's literally an sqlite database, filled with XML) for quick reference but this is not a small database so not every place uses it. So you've now got 2 separate ways to talk about projections .prj files (aka WKT) and just EPSG numbers.

Now geo is becoming a 'thing' now so you've also got outsiders coming into the geospatial area without all the legacy baggage aka google, they don't care about projections and local coordinate reference systems because they are working at a global scale, hence google maps tends to do everything in Lat Lons and when it does project things it does it in Web Mercator (EPSG: 3857) which makes every cartography and traditional GIS person die a little inside but on the other hand given what google maps was designed for, is a pretty rock solid choice for doing local directions all over the parts of the world where people live.

And that means that a lot of the innovative stuff in the geo space is either not dealing with projections at all (like big query GIS [1]) and just doing all the calculations on a sphere or is doing bespoke projections based on the data (like D3) and not bothering with the standardized state plane and national projection schemes (which is what GIS people often talk about when they argue about projections even though at the end of the day it's all about just matching the projection to the house projection used by whatever agency is using the data).

I don't know exactly where I was going with this but https://epsg.io is IMHO the best place for finding info on projections, if your prj file doesn't just have a name or a number in it you can easily use.

Thanks for sharing the link! Anyone have any experience as to whether this is more comprehensive than deeplearning.ai? Seems to me that maybe this one should be followed first and maybe followed by deeplearning.ai to focus only on the deep learning part.

I have limited experience with Machine Learning (did the original Andrew Ng MOOC a few years ago) but would like to become a practitioner (actual research in ML would be too advanced for me given my degree).
I've been using mailbox.org with a custom domain for over two years now. Although it's not free, the plans are quite cheap(starting from EUR 1/month). Have not had a single issue with it.
Why is that an issue if you trust Google? Indeed, in that case, they're doing something that is user-friendly. Because stuff arguably works more reliably if you're logged in to both Google and Chrome.

And if you don't trust Google, they're at least effectively an adversary. In the most favorable light, that they're doing something that might compromise your privacy.

Not to mention systems without syscalls [as concept] at all.

Simple example: GNU/Hurd’s glibc works quite differently.
>Newtonian mechanics (and gravity) are a special-case approximation of relativistic theories. To me that's no biggie, but to some philosophers I've spoken to take the attitude that "approximately right is still wrong".

Well, those philosophers should stop expecting a world measured in terms of continuous variables to have a discrete causal topology.

Yeah, I was called out on it, and I corrected myself. I wouldn't want to be part of a project that bans people who make an effort towards decency. The fact that standards differ and a consensus needs to be found for what constitutes decency is not an argument against it.

What point are you trying to illustrate? Are you saying I shouldn't have been called out on it? Because I disagree. The fact was, I found the post I replied to annoying, and I replied in a tone that was stronger than it needed to be. It's a good thing that was called out. Next time I'll take a breather before replying and we'll have a more constructive exchange.
I bought a yubikey 4 a while back and thought the same thing so I never really used it. I might use this as an excuse to buy another yubikey and have one as a backup.
It should also work with Vivaldi (From the makers of Opera) and tries to make a more modern Opera 12. Vivaldi uses chrome extensions. I still see some people using Opera and they never switched to Vivaldi.
This concept is very useful, not only in manufacturing but also at home. As somebody else has explained, MegSafe used this principle. Another great example is our dryer at home: the filter that needs to be cleaned every month or so has to be plugged back in in a certain way. They perforated they filter such that there’s absolutely no way to plug in back in the wrong way. Another great application would be gas vs diesel knobs at gas stations. I’m not sure whether new cars/pump provide that already
That's not the point at all, because you don't know how significant was the result when changing the question, because this article conveniently doesn't mention it's sources and if you search a bit you find the probable source article is not online (to the best of my knowledge).

So this article seems to be just about spreading division among racial lines.
> Some didn't

Most didn't.

> When I first got on irc in '94, I often exchanged name and phone numbers with people within hours of talking to them, and more than once I met people in real life within hours of talking to them.

But you didn't use your name as your nick did you? I never did. The same thing with BBS.

> The panic over people giving out their real name started first years later

No. Even before the media generated panic ( of primarily AOL ), you weren't encouraged to use your real name. Of course after you talked to people and got to know them, nothing stopped you from exchanging numbers. But that wasn't the norm.

I can't believe you brought up irc. There is a reason why in irc you used your "nick". The culture of irc was anonymity. IRC clients and many channels discouraged using your real name.
This only works if you have a thermostatic mixer or consistent temperature of your hot water.

The gold standard is a pressure-balanced thermostatic mixer, which always outputs the same temperature at the same setting. Most of them come with two knobs, "temperature" and "flow". I miss the one I had a while ago.
Frankly this open letter reads very naive.

I'm even willing to grant that no evil intentions were behind this botched release.
But the project's developers are certainly aware, that one of, if not the most important commodities in a NetSec operation is trust and transparency.

To blandly dismiss everyone's protests as "We though y'all already knew" and self-righteous indignation is beyond comprehension.
As if anyone is aware of the internal long term plans of every opensource project they use...

The "We were tired" excuse, come on...

I for one am very grateful to this opensource project and can only imagine that many others feel the same way. I also imagine that the GPGSuite developers feel that their hard work isn't being appreciated and that the hours put in, for free, makes the whole operation unsustainable.
But this just feels like a massive shot in the foot.
Particularly in an industry where reputation is worth so much.
If Linux has survived the past vitriol, I'm pretty sure it would flourish in future civility.
The battery life is closer to 36 hours than 24, so people do use it that way.

One approach is to drop it on the charger for 20-30 minutes in the evening, wear it overnight, place it on the charger again while getting ready in the morning.

I can’t be bothered, but I will admit I’ve been curious how terrible my sleep is.
> I think it's entirely possible that a large class of abuse happens from abusers that do love and care about the victims, but are so screwed up in their own mind that they can't help themselves.

In that case, the abuse would be visible in public. If abuser is doing what he/she is doing in private only, then it reasonable to assume that abuser is in control.
I have mentioned UNIGINE cause I've heard that Dual Universe powered by that engine. It isn't free, which seems interesting, cause the best things aren't free. And best things and "widely advertised" and "common" are not necessarily the same
> Initially, the datacenter was able to maintain its operational temperatures through a load dependent thermal buffer that was designed within the cooling system. However, once this thermal buffer was depleted the datacenter temperature exceeded safe operational thresholds, and an automated shutdown of devices was initiated
All their servers are belong to us. I know humor here is frowned upon, but I couldn't resist. Sorry.
The claim made was that they do. You don’t get to say that without providing evidence. You can say they might be, but that’s a different claim.

Also, capabilities matter. I have no doubt if they could they would. The Snowden revelations mainly revealed partnerships between service providers and gov agencies. Simply existing in the US does not mean your data is automatically available to 3 letter agencies. It could, but there is no evidence to suggest that it is.

I have one of the old blue U2F tokens (~20 EUR), and pretty much only used it for GMail so far. That alone is worth it to me because many other passwords can be reset by someone that gains control over my email account.

I personally find the token much more convenient than a TOTP code via app on my smartphone. And the U2F/FIDO part is very interesting as it eliminates phishing as a risk.

I ordered a Yubikey 5 NFC just now to play around especially with the NFC part and see if I can do something useful on my phone with that. I'm still looking for a password manager that could use an NFC Yubikey to unlock it on a smartphone.
I’m glad to see my countrymen branch out into blogging in English so that the rest of the world can have a great big dollop of Russian fatalism.

More to the point: everything’s well and truly fucked, yes, but surely more education cannot form the skeleton of a solution when the masses we’re supposed to educate don’t actually want to learn anything. IMHO, the very incentives of business need to be changed as they’re the foundation of every bad decision that manifests as software bugs. Is this not a version of Conway’s law? “All bad software reflects the lopsided incentives of the ambient business environment.” Call it the universal law of fubarness.
It depends on what you do. If your identity and participation in public activities is integral to why you're hired, you don't really have an option to keep everything private. Personally, I decided long ago that if I'm not comfortable saying or doing something using my true name, I probably don't need to say or do it. Yes, that's a somewhat privileged position to be in but nonetheless it's the case for me.
Also, how are you supposed to get any work done if you spend so much time reinstalling your computer every few days?

Going through 'a dozen computers a year' is not good for productivity. Even getting used to differences in keyboard layout could be taxing on the muscle memory on such a schedule.

I think it is fully possible to have a mass-market affordable computer last for five years with no problems. It is a nuisance tantamount to moving house going from one computer to a new one.
I don't even think it's that technical, though I agree Benford's law does help.

The numeric keypad is largely based off of ribbon tape desk calculators [0], which is why the + is double size, the enter (=) is double size, and the 0 is double size. The + and Enter are designed to be used by the right hand pinky, while the 0 is designed for use with the thumb. The numeric keypad is designed for five finger entry. Leaving it in that configuration means that people in an office who are used to using a ribbon calculator can more easily adapt to the PC keyboard. That's what office workers expect to find on a machine that sometimes is just a calculator.

If you go into a business or accounting office today, you'll still see people using these stupid calculators (stupid because they waste paper and ink). And if you've ever seen someone use one that's good with them, they can be extremely fast. Faster than you'd ever need to be entering a phone number (unless you need to enter the IT Crowd's emergency number).

When you use a telephone, however, you only use one finger. You're only entering 7 to 11 digits, typically.

The real annoying thing is that one of the reasons shapefiles are so bad, and so hard to replace is they fill a bunch of niches in a half assed way and no sane replacement format is going to replace shapefile in all situations.

Need a standardized way to disseminate data that's super easy to ingest? GeoJSON and KML work great there, while GeoPackage is going to be not a great fit for things like APIs plus you can't do a streaming read.

Need a way to edit and work with data locally and maybe send stuff around your office? Geopackage is going to be a much better fit then GeoJSON or KML.

The basic is $3 though. I have migrated all my private emails I've ever sent or received (some tens of thousands, starting from 90s) to Fastmail. Still well under the 2GB limit of the basic plan.
I think you, and others, seem to ignore that deep learning bots produce what the data contains. The data maybe be skewed in one direction or another, as in, it may be the case that most content is for gun control and most users seek gun control content.

The philosophical question is if a search engine return what people want or should return return what is most biased for truth and informative.
And even if it weren't, it's an unconstructive, defeatist style of thinking which does not engender positive change in society, but fosters local maxima.

For every person who does not think this way, society is better off.

> If that caveat applies to the vast majority of jobs for you maybe you should reevaluate your opinions?

That caveat doesn't apply to me now, but I'm one family emergency away from moving to a region where that caveat will apply to me. My opinions are not "spicy" they're just... ya know... opinions. Not milquetoast platitudes that shift to please the people I'm talking to.
Unity is reworking the whole network stack and they did significant investments in this area. So at this point implementing multiplayer using UNET or external libraries is possible and tricky but it is not really a good or future proof idea.
Ask HN: Options for website and application analytics
I'm currently thinking about how I can measure audience metrics for a new project.

For those of you who work with such tools, how do you handle product analytics? Is everyone using Google Analytics? Are any of you hand rolling solutions? And if you are, do you have any regrets (the common ones I can imagine are fighting for disc space, and visualization)?

And what opensource tools are worth looking into?

Most of the opensource projects I've seen are SQL based.
Do any of them allow pluggable backends?

Any other insights will be most welcome, Thank you.
If so, can a purely functional language require no more than one stack frame?
How MDM Solution Helps to Manage Optimal Mobile Device Use?
For 2FA, having multiple of these or some kind of recovery code tends to be the answer, as you can remove the keys from sites you use it on.

I am less willing to use something like this for passwordless logins. These types of devices should be part of the "something you have" part of 2FA, which should always be paired with a "something you know".

Maybe I'm missing a step here, but why would you ever use this for passwordless?

Don't forget that Unreal has Blueprints. You could practically finish an entire game on blueprints alone! I recall that The Solus Project was almost entirely blueprint based.
Really like the concept of your product. I do have some questions for you. If you have the time get in contact with me. Email is found in my profile.
Agreed, it's not what business users want to (or should) see. This is an aid for what your team does internally, instead of just lists and documents.
Well, there are multiple services involved in an email stack so I guess it does what you ask for.
The user isn't the problem, the developer is.

If you're developing against Chrome/Chromium, particularly "works in Chrome" instead of developing against the published Web standards, you're support Google & Chrome.
None are 'better', some have workflows subjectively better than others.

For example the C++/drag and drop scripting in Unreal I dislike.

Where I dislike unity's subscription model, and some of the newer features don't quite work as nicely as they could. (I've been using unity since the early days)

CryEngine/Lumberyard looks horrid (IMHO) when I last looked at it.

So while YMMV, I'd suggest that you do a "proof of concept/minimal project" that covers some significant features of your game, and get a feel of the workflow, and go with the one that everyone can get along with.

Fitting the hardware in the cube is the innovation
I’ve had the same concern for a long time, but more from a worry about what to do when it breaks or stops working after a few years. The recommendations I’ve read are to always have a recovery key or other alternate mechanisms that don’t depend on this device. One common suggestion also seems to be to print the recovery/alternate key and keep it safe.

I believe this is a bigger barrier for common people who don’t know how to create and retain backup mechanisms. As such, I don’t see a lot of value in recommending these devices to those who aren’t tech savvy without also explaining to them about recovery. So much for technology!
I said Google staff had, and I didn't say they did that in this video. But then to be fair, I don't have any hard evidence for this.

EDIT: As it turns out, sources for this are pretty easy to come across online: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-google-travelban/google-s...
I see these issues everywhere also, it is really worrying. Especially since our entire food and supply chain is starting to depend on it.
I like this approach; feels very unix-y in philosophy. I am in the position where I'm undoubtably going to need to become an adult soon, and the prospect of going back to traditional banks makes me ill.
I think that solution here would be to show point of view of sacrificed child too. She is getting nothing in exchange of sacrifice, has no choice and suffers more then him. Manga Berserk had this theme in it.

It does not matter whether abuser loves his victim or not.
> What does that have to do with the article?

I'm from this area of Kentucky and the fact that it went for Trump has everything to do with the subject.

I'm 36 now, and coal has been in decline for almost my entire life. Yet the area cannot move beyond it because they keep waiting for 'coal to come back'. Politicians come and lie, and say they will return them to the glory days of coal. Trump came and told the most brazen, unrealistic lies of any previous politician. And so the state went for Trump.

Coal isn't coming back, and Appalachia cannot accept this. Until they can accept this and move on, Appalachia will always be impoverished. Sure the rest of the country is having economic boom times, but Trump made Kentucky worse.
I do this too but sometimes companies reject my replies because the from address isn't the same address they have on record. Maybe there's a way to make the "reply's from" the same as the "original's to" but idk.
Ask HN: How to effectively learn different technologies and improve breadth?
A quick intro - I did my BS in Electrical Engineering and Masters in CS. For almost 5-6 years, I've worked on variegated software stacks, but mostly in the kernel and low level storage and networking stuff. As a result, I have been largely ignorant about front-end, ML, web services, distributed systems etc.

Two of my quirks are - I get a little nervous/insecure if I come across something that I don't know. I think it's cultural and the way I was raised - to be good at multiple pieces at once. I try to overcompensate for this by almost immediately trying to pick up the technology by picking up a book or signing up for a course but I almost always never follow through. Over many years of working, I've realized that one of my best ways to learn that has stuck is by doing. The ones that I've spent time on, I have almost always spent nights working on a small project that has reinforced my learnings and myelinated by neurons.

But as I try to expand more and more, I realize that this is a grossly inefficient. I can't afford to spend more and more time on all these technologies given my current job and also other things in life. I have a fairly simple social life and I almost always never watch TV or any other shows. I had hobbies but I don't really indulge in many of them. All of this is adding up to my stress levels and that's showing up in life and work as well.

So how do I effectively learn and at the same time enjoy the fruits of life without actually stressing the F out?
Thank you for all the details and suggestions!
I was unaware, but I guess that sorta makes sense. I have only done with USB A style, which is an Epoxied PCB which makes it fairly hard to break.

USB C has a connector that cannot just be the PCB, and so it needs a housing and such.
