Nim is a really good language with the ease of use of Python and the speed of C, Rust, Go with the benefit of creating single executable binary that makes it easy to deploy.

But, I only use it for toy apps and things I don't particularly care about because it is still not 1.0 indicating the language core is not settled yet. May be others are more comfortable with it than I am.

Looks like this handles a bunch of cases around locking you can run into, which seems a noble goal. I like the approach of making a matrix of all the migration operations and figuring out how to work around the locks, kudos.

There are definitely some wonderful ways to mess things up when starting out with postgres migrations. Nothing quite like the surprise you get the first time you rewrite every tuple on a table with 20M rows because you added a column with a default value (no longer an issue with the latest postgres).

As pointed out in the docs, your code must be prepared to support the schema both before and after the migration. Not that I use django anyway, but normally I'm more worried about the interlacing of the code and db changes to keep things running smoothy. Migrate a bit, release some code, migrate some more etc.
I think the nature of intrusive thoughts is a bit different from memes or other contagious ideas. Intrusive thoughts are persistent in part because of the "semi" paradox required to ensure you're avoiding a thought. eg, in order to not think of a pink elephant, some process in your brain must be checking for a pink elephant. This process is by some definition thinking of a pink elephant. People who are more prone to OCD-like thinking will obviously have even more trouble with this task, since they are less successful at terminating a train of thought than the average person.

In the sort of memes you're describing people are actively doing their best to (sometimes falsely) find dog whistles, or secret CIA involvement. The emotional rush that comes from suspicion or outrage is wholly different than someone with OCD failing to terminate a train of thought.
> if you can bill $300 an hour for braindead work you can hand off to interns and just get checked by a lawyer before it goes out, why would they want to kill that cash cow?

Various intern and entry-level positions in legal are notoriously low paid and involve many sacrifices. One starts to earn money allowing to sustain oneself maybe in mid-30s? If one survives until that point (i.e. family members in the profession already, or some other family predispositions).

Always? All sorts of speech cause indirect harm to someone, analogous to "virulent racism"?

If that's really true, doesn't "shut up and hack" apply all the more? If you really cared about the code, you could keep your political opinions to yourself.

(Also, this is precisely why many codes of conduct define the exact harms they care about - so racism is an excluded harm, but, say, making Hans Reiser feel bad about being a murderer isn't. If you're a fan of racism, you might use this as an indicator to avoid the project and find another one, or fork it under the license.)

This has no basis in reality. Putting a feature like this upfront will cause more accidents than it will allow people with vision issues to use it frequently.

What I really want to know is why I can't have a Soviet concrete-block box-house built in the US for $20,000 yet.

Is it because you are really mostly paying for the land?

But still, building a house still runs at $100,000+. Why though.

Are any of the pre-fab companies taking off?

I want to buy a run-down house, tear it down, and build pre-fab on it for $20,000, damn it.

The workstation sitting here on my desk has a pair of 8-core Intel CPUs, 128 GB of RAM, a PCIe NVMe disk and a couple SSDs in RAID1, and my primary server in the garage has a pair of 10-core CPUs, 192 GB of RAM, four Enterprise SSDs, and eight 600 GB 15K SAS HDDs in RAID6.

Oh, and I'm about to upgrade the networking (from 4 x 1 Gbps) but I'm on the fence between 10 Gbps and Infiniband.

I never hit the limits of these machines, so obviously this configuration should work just fine for everyone. :-)

I see this said all the time and it is extremely silly. Just because there are new games that don't run at 120Hz and 4k with the highest settings on a recent card doesn't mean that "GPUs can't do 120Hz at 4k". Graphics settings, more GPUs, games that are just a few years old, and anything not game related still apply. Saying "GPUs can't do 120Hz at 4k" is nonsense.
I'm glad that exchanges are starting to take security more seriously. But the security of cold wallet funds is much easier to maintain. The issue here with centralization and hot wallets is that funds have to sit on publicly accessible servers. So really, any improvements made to cold wallet storage are nothing more than a red herring that distracts from the real issue that centralized exchanges were never designed to handle cryptocurrencies.

There are far more problems to this approach than just wallet security too. With an inherent lack of transparency that comes from centralized exchanges how is the user to know that trades are being executed fairly? The exchange still has an edge over every trader in that market and can skim profits off of anyone. If we observe Mtgox it was the result of what can happen when everything goes wrong (hot and cold wallets mismanaged and order books manipulated.)

So call me a skeptic but I don't see how this solves anything. I did enjoy the hand waving though. Very cool, and I'm sure Squares customers will be happy with it when their convoluted security protocols are inevitability broken by a rubber mallet.

Canaries only make sense if the company actually cares about letting their customers know about a possible NSL. They might not be legal as it's a pretty obvious wink wink nudge nudge that they received one. Apple and Amazon are big enough that they aren't going to mess around with utopian EFF rhetoric and will do whatever is required them by the law. None of the big boys care about "don't be evil" mantras anymore. They care about what keeps the stock price up and the federal government off their ass.
The idea behind the app is great, and I do use it occasionally. All of the volunteers I have spoken to have been very helpful.

> Would the author ever write about a man like this?

I would hope so.

She's a geobiologist. Most people are going to visualize a geobiologist as some pasty, probably fat, person in a lab coat with a microscope deep inside some fluorescent lighted big building doing boring things with rocks (the geo part) that are covered with moss, fungus, or animal shit (the bio part).

The article starts her out driving a "Land Cruiser across the bumpy, rock-strewn floor of Wadi Lawayni, a broad, arid valley that cuts through the mountains of Oman". So right off the bat, no lab and an exotic location in a general region of the world that is troubled.

Later, the section you quoted implie that this sort of thing is common for her. She doesn't just occasionally get out of the lab to far flung corners of the world. The visualization people have at this point is no longer "fat pasty lab kind of scientist".

The kind of scientist they are visualizing at that point is Indiana Jones.

Look at some of the other locations they describe her working at after the above description. Deep undersea. On a thin crust on top of an active lava flow. That expands on the scope implied by the physical description, cementing the image.

No, I can't. All I will say is that I've been involved with GNU in several ways over the past 5 years, even working at the FSF for awhile, and I've become increasingly disappointed in RMS' leadership abilities. He simply doesn't have the social awareness to foster a healthy community.
I am pretty sure Kaspersky is very cosy with FSB but I am not aware of large US companies going after NSA tools either.
Yeah, I agree with the sentiment of your comment, but your facts are wrong because you haven't really internalized the fact that lawyers are a medieval guild. The reason you see "this is not legal advice" on posts by lawyers is that lawyers can get in trouble for giving legal advice in a HN post--they could be sued for bad advice, and someone could also very easily file a complaint with their state bar, and the state bar will take it seriously and could revoke the laywer's license unless they have been very, very clear that they were not giving legal advice.[1]

Is this really done to protect the public (as opposed to because state bars want to try to protect lawyers as the only people qualified to talk about the law)? I have my doubts, but I'd like to stay employed.

[1] Look at this example I found in 20 seconds of googling to see how talking about legal issues in a public forum can lead to a headache for lawyers: https://www.nvbar.org/wp-content/uploads/opinion_32.pdf. It looks like sanity ultimately prevailed (you don't form an attorney-client relationship by calling into a radio station), but I'm sure whichever lawyer did this spent years dealing with potentially having their career ended while this moved through the California State Bar's system.
That is in fact how an argument becomes an argument from authority. Also, it has become an HN meme to post the Dijkstra comment every single time there's a post mentioning Julia. It's not like it's news to anyone.

"Seriously advanced security features like two-factor authentication (which kind? Apple offers two) are exactly the sort of thing only experts who don’t need them will ever set up."

Hmm. This is a reflection of the author's bias towards not having the features he likes on the Iphone be more in your face, and the features he finds annoying are labelled as useless.

The two factor ID, is there as a CYA for Apple, so they won't have to deal with the fallout of their users' accounts being compromised. Those are the types of features prioritized and forced. The same goes for touch ID, in addition to it making new purchases a seamless and more effortless process, it also helps deal with chargebacks and the like. When I use touch ID to call a Lyft, I have esseentially 'signed' the CC receipt of that transaction.

The other features he finds annoying, may be annoying to many people, but those are key features that most people would otherwise not turn on, and as a result have a poor experience with wifi. the list goes on.
I'm a bit older and remember this and much more getting demo'd at Xerox Parc in the mid 80ies, when powerful graphic cards were bring developed (for VR) being used for the 3D window managers being developed at Parc (WIMP GUI) in the 70ies. They were definitely not gimmicks but functional for certain use cases, eg. keyboard less interaction, information overload, voice control and such. I remember 6 different window manager styles there, where only 2 made it into production 30 years later, compiz and looking glass.

tldr: The revolution happened at Parc in the 70ies.
Compose is defined as putting together many pieces into one coherent work. Most people associate it with music, where composers put together notes until they make up a piece of music. In the mail app context it also makes perfect sense as you are composing a larger piece of work (your letter) from smaller individual elements (words).

TL;DR - Compose is the correct word to use.
Talk about a feature my 89 year old grandma will be terrified of.
I grew up long after slide rules went out of fashion, but I really like them. And not only for their signaling value; I genuinely think they make working with specifically ratios easier.

For example if you have a recipe calling for 150 g of butter, but you want to use all of your 250 g, you can just align 150 and 250 on the slide rule, and then read off the correct amounts of the other ingredients, without ever touching the slide rule again. No multiplication performed.

I understand people don't use slide rules for more things, but I'm baffled they aren't considered standard kitchen equipment, in one shape or another.
This plan all falls apart when the retail CEO has "his nephew manage the project, 'cause he's good with computers". Then a 20 year old more concerned with girls and video games appears.

> If you're not holding that motherboard in your hands, then you definitely "don't have accurate information to base a story on" if that story is about inserted extra hardware - the story Bloomberg reported relies on analysis of that motherboard.

I disagree. What if you have a the text of a government report describing the reactions to its discovery in detail (e.g. "an implant was found attached to the BMC of some Supermicro boards, here's our plan for securing the supply chain against implants as small as 1x1mm...")? What if they were shown a report but not given a copy? What if you have consistent testimony from five credible people whose backgrounds check out who read the only copy of the report in a secure reading room? What if all that is verbally confirmed by other insiders?

> In this case, the relevant documents would be the technical details of that malware - photos of the motherboard with the inserted hardware, schematics and analysis of where and how the inserted chip connects to the "real" parts, dumps of the firmware alterations, microscopy analysis of the extra chip after decapping it.

The Bloomberg reporters aren't security researchers. All of the stuff you describe is well outside their areas of expertise or what they can be reasonable expected to do. They're doing their job if they report what they learn from others, it's not their job to perform research or replicate research themselves.

Journalism is more like history than archeology, but a lot of people seem to want it to be the other way around.

Right, but I think the question is why did we create such laws for lawyers but not other professions?

Or maybe alternatively, those laws do exist for other professions, but other professions are not as risk averse about being sued over them. For example, I'm pretty sure that practicing medicine without a license is just as illegal, but I've never heard a doctor worry about saying "this is not medical advice".

How is that inconsistent with Christian theology? Theology is diverse and different schools hold different, often contradictory views on any given topic. Usually what is called “Christian theology” is that for which there is a general consensus among theologians, and I’m unaware of any such consensus on this particular subject.
