How do you figure? The book ends with public key cryptography, PGP, and quantum code. Those seem about as relevant as they were in 99.

Does the Node.js SDK support U2F?
Companies have a responsibility to ensure the workplace is not a hostile environment that discriminates, no matter the political leaning of the locality.

Enforcement in Silicon Valley tends to let bad actors from the left have lots of leeway while immediately censoring or disciplining for expressing mainstream conservative views.

Ask HN: What are the best NLP sentence alignment tools?
I'm looking to build a machine translation model and would like to know which tools you think are the best for aligning sentences from paragraphs of source and target languages.
Thanks! I didn't know that at all. It was actually my one of my reasons to use Chrome for Gmail before I switched.
The docs say that U2F isn't currently supported via any method other than the AWS Console. No API, no CLI, no mobile apps.
Do you have research that shows clean diesel makes people live?

Maybe you should pipe diesel to a tank containing a person, err wait not a person a money... Oh wait. Volkswagen did that.

So does running away. However, the issue here is existence of blame.

> I can model beliefs of Muslims without believing in Allah.

Yeah, but you can't model belief without knowing what believing in something entails. Same thing with my example. You model behavior of others based on your experience. You think others have free will because you believe you do. Or not.

My own position is that while free will might or might not be illusion, it's a useful one. Like justice, mercy or love - that sort of thing.

This is the only reply by someone with the right attitude, your the sort of person I'd like to work with and would want building the software I use. I'm just shaking my head at the rest of them, proud of mediocrity.
While this is a great step forward for U2F adoption, AWS made the same mistake several other online services have made by only allowing a single key per account. The typical U2F user carries at least two keys. (one on their person and one stored securely for backup) I hope they decide to change this because it will cause a ton of customer support problems in their future.
It is the new television. Advertisers need to reach eyeballs.
Isn't that sort of contradictory? The rest of the UX is so great that people want to use it despite the crashing.
1. We have no evidence that Apple did anything wrong. And so until a court rules either way we should default to them being innocent.

2. Qualcomm is unquestionably more dodgy than Apple. They have been convicted of market abuse and have engaged in anti-competitive practices for quite some time now. I don't think anyone should feel sympathy for them.

3. You have made unfounded allegations that Apple lied to countries around the world. So I would question your bias in this case.

I'll be honest, many of the issues I've seen with meetings are issues with not training people how to have productive meetings, not having it clear who can make decisions, and perverse incentives.

Not to mention almost every woman I know in tech has told me a story where they are ignored, only to have someone else who's a guy propose basically the same idea (including having had male coworkers who are friends knowingly propose the exact same idea as an experiment) and have it accepted and praised.

If you think of how much time you spend in meetings, some sort of meeting instruction/meeting consultant might just pay for itself in increased productivity.

I am not a meeting consultant or a manager, but using robert's rules of order in a hobby community made me much better at meetings.

Simple ideas like having the problem clearly stated, asking for proposed solutions, debating them by going back and forth from opposed to in support so that it's clear when the minority has all been heard from without having everyone have to put in 2 cents, only including actual stakeholders etc.

Anyway that's not to distract from this effort, this seems like a great solution to any scheduling problems if nobody is in an open office.

Of course video calls work best when everyone has private office space without an open plan.

Original developer here. Really surprised it got posted on HN today and that the comments are quite positive.
We're not working this anymore, though the original code evolved into other projects like ARTIQ.

the main reason i dont use it is the hints work differently from pentadactyl. you cannot type characters of the link and have to use the letters that appear on the hint. so i'm still on pale moon+pentadactyl. but i think qutebrowser has great potential.
Depending on your use case, the most luxurious thing you can do is Uber everywhere. Maybe not quite yet price-viable for a daily commute, but I've been working remotely in LA and have had a great exp basically depending entirely on Uber.

You eliminate all the hassles associated with having your own car and free yourself up to actually utilize the drive time doing something. It's also a highly efficient way to socialize with strangers (if you use Uber Pool) which has been an unexpectedly pleasant benefit.
I got some pretty high offers from hedge funds (slightly higher than FAANG) on the east coast for a software engineer position working in infrastructure. Granted, half of the compensation was rolled in the annual "performance bonus", but that's how that industry works, they typically don't give equity away.
In turn this becomes the number of people required to maintain a codebase.

Just in case anyone else is as confused as I was, if you don't hit "play" on the picture of the ridge-line, you won't see the match. Or maybe I'm the only one who was wondering how that could be considered a match, until I figured out to do that.

The manufacturer is irrelevant to the protocol, they may have asked you for these details but they do not matter. You can even emulate the key in software if you wanted.

I can't imagine needing to eat from dumpsters for months. I hope circumstances have improved for you tremendously! Sometimes I forget the small blessings in life.
That state income tax(or lack thereof)... It's like having $1-2k every month of free money. That almost pays for the anti-depressants and full-time counseling I'd need to move back to the PNW :)

Also, your traffic sucks... really, really badly. I grew up in the PNW and whenever I'm back I cringe at the mess it has become. With all that money flowing around, you'd figure they'd invest in some infrastructure. I know they're trying but it's really not enough.
You are introducing a concept worse than google not deleting cookies. Limiting the web to a handful of sites kills the concept of the web. I would suggest spending as much time out of the top 20 popular sites as possible. Diversity is key.

Being agnostic is a good goal, but being useful is more important.

Hopefully they get it right, because the JS ecosystem is a bloated mess that we've been stuck with because there's no other game in town.
Thanks, I guess? That's still a "lobster" straw man, by your own characterization. Neither is it definitively poisoning the well (unless you're a pedophile); or trolling, since it was you who brought up poisoning the well, making child pornography about your character. This is an awful lot of patronizing and reading into a counter-example to avoid addressing it.
Just to chime in, I’ve found Spotlight on iOS to cover about 85% of my needs. It uses Bing for web results, but I often don’t even need the web results.

I don't think we love to leave out the American involvement in WW2 at all. There is a huge community of military enthusiasts in the UK and they almost exclusively have American military equipment. My father owns a classic Willies jeep for example.

I just think we prefer to talk about the parts we played, just as any country would.
Tech employees are, as a group:

- Highly educated
- Young
- High % of foreign citizens
- Urban
- Wealthy

If you take the general population and control for those covariates, you end up with a subpopulation that massively skews left. For example - the median age for people watching Fox news is nearly 70.

In the mid to late 1980's I went for $10,000 more and a job at a regular company. A research institute. Instead of $10,000 less and stock options at a well-established startup. I regret my decision to this day. The stock option company is a name you know.
Agreed, cardamom has an amazing flavor that works in savory or sweet applications. No idea why it’s so underrepresented in western cuisine.
>>> results in a significant performance increase for syscall-bound programs like web servers

Reminds me of "Why we use the kernel's TCP stack"? And eternal debate over the performance benefits of "kernel bypass" and "zero-copy" technologies such as DPDK versus full userspace TCP implementations like OpenOnload.

https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-use-the-linux-kernels-tcp...

Conclusion is that the untapped fruit in kernel TCP gains comes from tuning performance of the network stack itself: optimizing overhead a packet incurs on its path through the stack. A very active area of development.

Netdev 0x13, THE Technical Conference on Linux Networking

https://netdevconf.org/0x13/
If you have the process that is currently blocked (note that "zombie" doesn't apply here -- zombies are processes that are dead but are waiting for someone to collect their exit code) you can look in /proc/$pid/stack to see what the current kernel stack is (the bottom-most entries tell you what syscall the process started by doing). This is the easiest way to start debugging a kernel problem (what is the function it's blocked in -- then go read that function and see whether the the pathology is obvious).
If a company increases benefits/bonuses but doesn't increase pay, it may indicate that they don't believe increases in cash flow will continue. It's easier to cut both benefits and bonuses then to cut pay.

Oh, and investors will sue public companies if they don't get accurate info, whereas you probably have an arbitration agreement making that unlikely. So check what the company is telling investors, since it's public.

It doesn't hurt to look at other jobs. You can always circle back around to any interested companies if things at your current company doesn't seem right.
Company meetings are not about the tech or tools you can throw at them. It is about the culture. Some companies understand that and minimize their meetings and solely depend on project management systems.

Unless you can find a tool to make these people understand the culture has a problem (also the hierarchy), I don't think any new tool can help.

Note: Basecamp, zoho and all others promise similar tools. You might want to change the intro video, maybe invest in voice-over with basic demo.
> But now you just kick the can back. You still have to have an account that manages the device keys, and you certainly don't want that locked down to a device

They need to mutually confirm it. If keyA says sameAs keyB, and keyB says sameAs keyA, then they should be considered merged.
Your examples are very few. May be to balance you can post some other companies, like Uber: https://www.uber.com/careers/list/?team=engineering

Here is twitter, with 95 openings in SF:
https://careers.twitter.com/content/careers-twitter/en/jobs-...

That is close to 400 openings for Software engineers in SF among just 2 companies. it will take a lot of New Relics to compensate for that kind of demand. And I haven't even linked to Google, FB, Apple (each of them hire thousands of engineers in SF), Lyft, Airbnb, Salesforce etc. I feel like the advice in HN is more of what people wish it would be, but doesn't reflect. The original article is spot on and is remarkably good career advice for anyone who is starting out. Go West.
Like Eric Law[1], I felt like while there were some rough spots in the UX for the Chrome login and sync features, the issue was very overblown (I'd feel very differently if sync had been enabled automatically). I don't have much more to say than Law does --- except maybe that when your arch-competitor is speaking out on your behalf, maybe the narrative has gone a little haywire.

I figured Google would do something cosmetic (again, that's all that I think they really needed to do) to clear up the misconceptions here, but they've added a Matthew Green switch (which is what we all need to call it from now on). That's better than I'd hoped for.

Both Burroughs/Unisys and IBM had same idea about future of computing in the late 70's and then went to build AS/400 and Burroughs large systems, which are both based on kernel-space JIT compiled "bytecode" (with significant difference in granularity of the thing that gets compiled on first use and how the compilation results are cached, which for IBM i5/OS essentially means that it is on-demand AOT compiler), which is the reason that these systems are currently based on commodity hardware (ie. Power and Xeon).
I'd much rather have some base safety net. As it stands in the US, no amount of capital is sufficient to protect yourself against a lifetime of medical expenses. This is a perverse incentive that injects greed, selfishness, and sometimes desperation into our everyday lives.
Anybody contemplating the possibility of civil war in the United States should really take a look at demographics of military service members and locations of military bases.
Right, so, not sure what exactly Twitter is supposed to do about it.

I'm trying to think of some sort of affirmative action parallel, but unlike other protected classes, political disposition is a choice. The closest protected class I can think of is religion, which arguably is as much a choice as political disposition... But in any case, if someone is passed over for promotion or not hired or somehow damaged for their political leanings, they already can sue over it.

I guess I'm having a hard time being conviced there's an actual problem here.

Just that the investigation hinges on decidedly non-technical/novel methods. It is an interesting news story and presentation but isn’t as unique as I think people who just skimmed the twitter thread might assume.
Yeah I knew that it didn't matter to the protocol, I only made my comment because I could've absolutely sworn I read in docs or their UI that literally _only_ YubiCo was supported, as in no other U2F would work. Can't find it now, so my bad!

I think Joel Spolsky is fantastic, I read his excellent blog articles way back when they were first written. His intelligence, business acumen and subsequent success are not in dispute. I am a big fan of his ideas and work. But even I would say this marketing puff piece is over the top, I thought it must have been satire...

"Back in 2000, two visionary founders, Joel Spolsky and Michael Pryor, envisioned a new tech company that would distinguish itself by the way it treated people — both its employees and its customers"

Visionaries? The company they started was a consulting shop that only later transformed into software products when the dot com boom crashed and consulting dried up. Was that part of the vision?

"The company they created, Fog Creek Software, has gone on to create multiple ground-breaking products and to help change the entire tech industry along the way."

Trello is great and I use it myself, but it is a TODO list application and certainly not ground-breaking. FogBugz is a bug tracker, which is not ground-breaking, and was actually out-competed by JIRA. StackOverflow is definitely ground-breaking and I would agree changed the software development industry, but the original idea came from Jeff Atwood with Fog Creek providing mainly the money and initial public profile.

"...other successful and influential products like Manuscript and Kiln and Copilot and CityDesk..."

I mean no disrespect but I would not consider any of them successful and influential.

Maybe Glitch will become a big product in the future, but for now can be step down the marketing intern that wrote this whilst drinking too much caffeine.
I didn't mean to say that the library of congress was indiscriminate, just that it likely also contains material that you disagree with. And that that doesn't really matter, because it's not the purpose of the repository to contain only non-controversial material.

In my country we used to have bi-annual hard rubbish days where people would leave out old unwanted furniture to be collected by local council. When I had little money and no car, I could walk around the neighbourhood and drag home slightly damaged furniture, fix it up and furnish my home.

Now they've moved to just-in-time collection vouchers, so this perfectly serviceable furniture goes straight into landfill, and poor people don't get the chance to repurpose it.

On the positive side, the council pays a small reward for collecting and returning recyclable bottles, which provides the homeless with a chance of a modest legal income and stops some of them from panhandling.

Thanks for bringing this up! One thing that we are not yet sure how much value the concept of daily/weekly standing meetings will add to the teams using Meetter for most of their meetings.

I feel like many meeting habits and practices are evolved from the physical office environment that has limitations that are not present in the virtual world.

Btw, check out this talk from Al Pittampali at Google https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn-q529ExFw One of the keystone habits he is advocating is "Make all standing meetings tentative"
