Personally, I tend to use the easy-rsa set of scripts https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa.

Initially they used to come as a goodies with OpenVPN, but they are now provided as a standalone project.

There are already packaged and available in most distributions (easy-rsa package under Debian for example).

There are probably a little bit more complex to use, but it's far from horrible, and it's quite battle tested.
You can, but it's like picking your nose with boxing gloves on[1] - it's really clumsy. In Lisp, it's natural and easy. It's maybe the same in result, but it's really different in ease of use.

[1] Credit where due - I stole that phrase from my friend Michael Pavlinch.
Article says it's too early to draw conclusions.

It could well be that your memory gets worse because you rely on technology to remember things for you. And because you know how to do that, you can switch between more tasks.

There are stories about how people used to remember lots of things back when it wasn't so easy to store information. And also stories about tribal people who haven't yet developed literacy being able to remember lots of stuff.

Dedupely  HubSpot integration launching on November 15th

I wonder if a client has ever set up a scam like this.

They send a fake-looking email to themselves (using existing invoices as a template), then feign ignorance and refuse to pay for goods/services because "we sent the money, not our fault you didn't get it".

Even better that they'd send a few emails saying "we're working on paying you, don't bug us about it" -- payments are harder to collect as time passes for a number of reasons (in my experience).
This is the big problem as I see it. Not normally would pictures of your family be taken in evidence for an unrelated crime, to be gone over later by some unseen third party.

Here they just hoover up everything and once it's out the door you don't know what happens to it or who's looking at it.

It seems to me like these companies were able to use a legal form of intimidation to shut down someone offering a competing technology platform.

Not a pirate but a competitor.
> Out of interest how do you qualify a 'real' problem?

I assume it means a problem that needs solving, requires a computer to solve and is not just an exercise.

> Also solving non-real problems can lead to solving real problems

Yes, and there is nothing wrong or useless about solving problems that are not 'real', I was mostly just objecting to the usage of the term 'real problem'.
Dynamicland: The Next Big Thing Is a Room
Is it possible to "backport" the Kernel (and other parts, such as the WSL, with it) to Windows 7?

I'd like to have a modern Windows, but with the "classic" UI and no forced ads/bloatware/crapware. And yeah I am aware of W10 LTSB but it's not legally available for 99% of users.

edit: Looks like the post attracted a bit of a flamewar. Originally, I just wanted to know if this was technically feasible or not.
That was my point. The fact that this is the first piece that is recognized as a work of art AND was sold at a high price will only make this piece increase in value as time go on.
Perhaps I just don’t have smartphone addiction, but (if I do) there is something different between this “addiction” and others. There are no withdrawal symptoms for me. I feel the compulsion to pick it up and look at it, but if I don’t have my phone, after reaching for it in my pocket and not finding it a few times I just stop. I don’t feel a need to go find a phone or feel rotten because I don’t have one. And these feelings (that I don’t seem to have anyway) don’t get stronger and stronger until I get back to my phone.

I’ve felt withdrawal symptoms for caffeine, and I can only imagine it is worse for stronger drugs. Maybe this addiction is of the same sort but the withdrawal is so slight that I don’t notice?
Driving is a much smaller scope than technology. If you restrict the development of technology skills, when you eventually reintroduce technology it will take months or even years to catch up to peers that have been using technology for their entire life.
> The main reason behind it all, was realising I’d been too narrowly focussed on one part of my life, work and building a business, and that I’d neglected other areas.

Building a successful business from scratch is incredibly hard, and therefore requires sacrifice in other areas of your life. Doing a startup is never an optimization for personal happiness.

I think raising VC will only make the problem worse. They're expecting a unicorn, which requires significantly more personal sacrifice than a (potentially) less ambitious bootstrapped business.

Fred, you mentioned that you felt unhappy while abroad. Maybe the problem isn't with bootstrapping, but it's with being away from friends/family? After a year of traveling I felt similarly, and we've been spending several months back home with friends/family. Still bootstrapping – doing better now. Just an idea.
I think the key to understanding narcissism is that narcissists only try very hard to appear confident but on the inside they're anything but. The grandiosity they display is just a kind of coping mechanism.
> It’s also profoundly debilitating when it is diminished by disorders such as schizophrenia or autism.

First of all, autism is better characterized as inability to cope with one's own emotions, which results in a state similar to permanent tension or stress (without being aware of it or knowing any better), which autistic people are trying to compensate with acquired/learned behavioral patterns that keeps them less tense (avoiding eye contact is the obvious example). This is why performance in some tests is lower - we have real difficulties with self-control, with concentration on the task. Working memory is OK, when we in the rare state of so-called flow we perform well. Usually above average.

Solitude and some meditation techniques (habitual return to state of being 100% idle) helps a lot.
My generation grew up with TV shows like The Transformers that got kids to beg their parents for toys.

McDonalds has marketed to children for the better part of a century (and it has followed many people into adulthood).

The medium has changed, but the practices are the same as Edward Bernays and Anna Freud cooked up so many decades ago (Sigmund was never happy with the way his family members used his psychoanalysis research to sell products, even though they used it to help sell the English version of his book).

There is more of it today, yes. Kids don't want toys, and hence we see Toys-R-Us disappear .. they do want games, and it's pretty important for people in tech to teach kids about how absolutely atrocious in-game purchases are and how you should NEVER participate in that rubbish and discourage everyone else from doing so in the hopes it eventually goes away.

But it won't, because there are always people who don't know, or even with full knowledge, can't help those addictions.

It's a complicated problem, but current phones/tech are just the medium.

But the medium can also be the message.
> I don't see how playing hours of Starcraft and C&C wasn't an exercise in strategic thinking.

You're kidding, right? Those RTS, particularly Starcraft, are an exercise in APS more than anything else.

* For non-gamers, APS = actions per second. Being able to issue more commands than your opponent and "micro" (from the word micromanage) your units to tightly control their behavior are a large part of winning Starcraft. It's fascinating to watch high level Starcraft players clicking their mice at an almost inhuman rate.

In what universe is this true? Azure is the backbone of large things in corporate America, especially in banking and healthcare that you never even think about. Things a lot more important than someone's repo being inconvenienced.

> i believe the dish described is basically the same

"Basically the same" as what? "Soup" is a very broad term encompassing many, many dishes.

> and the arthashastra in any case outclasses all other attestations even if you take western dating

The Arthashastra is supposedly from the 2nd century BCE[1], but even if it's as old as Sanskrit itself[2], it still comes at least 15,000 years after the first evidence of soup. Soup is older than any language that's known today. Why would other cultures suddenly start using a Sanskrit word for a food that they've known and enjoyed for thousands of years?

It's more the 3rd software companies that are optimizing the addictive parts than Apple, because that's how they make money.

Having the screen be smaller makes those software products suck enough that I don't like using them for extended periods, it's a defense mechanism against hyper optimized advertising engagement apps.

Personally I think that's a feature.

My other problem with Apple that they're only interested in the high end $750+ for their phones. The SE was comparatively a steal at $400, and nothing about the new ones is $250 more impressive. Can't be securely held one handed and adds a big screen that I don't want, so I'm not excited about paying more for it.

”My rights should not be curtailed because the market needs of a single company”

That’s at the root of the problem. Many customers want to have access to spare parts, but is it their right? I think car manufacturers are required to provide spare parts for a reasonable time, but I’m not aware of laws or regulations requiring that for other products.

Even if they exist, I don’t know enough about the examples involving Apple to know whether they are in breach of any regulations.

Don't stop there...

I'd argue a prime-of-their-life 34 year old _data scientist_ doesn't stand a change _against their own algorithms_ if they immerse themselves. It's addiction.

We need to stop acting like it is "weak-minded" people (children is a dog-whistle for this) who are susceptible to tech addiction.

The idea of "standing a chance" is literally like saying you can consciously control your dopamine receptors to actively limit dopamine uptake in your brain.

It's wild how it can affect you.

In my younger days - nothing bothered me. Then I had 'that job', like many in the comments have talked about. Stress to the max. It took me to some dark, dark places.

Eventually - I just said "this isn't worth my life" and quit. Just up and walked out. I vowed never again would I let a job have that affect on me.

I've lived from then on with that as my mantra, although lately - stress is creeping back in at my current place.
Handy statistical lexicon
I can't be too specific but the conversations I've had with Tesla's competitors show they're terrified.

No matter what competitors say in the press, Tesla is transforming the auto industry in two fundamental ways that traditional car companies cannot adopt quickly. As easy as everyone makes electric cars and online ordering seem, Tesla's competitors are finding this challenging. The auto manufacturers must build a really great electric car and, at the same time, cut out the dealerships.

The next ten years is going to be very interesting.
The diagnosis is not arbitrary and the lack of self-awareness those suffering from NPD experience places them at a disadvantage at self-diagnosis. DSM standards have moved a lot over the years, but NPD has remained largely the same. Ask a child, love-interest or spouse of someone with NPD about the manifestations of the condition on their lives and you'll get a remarkably consistent story. There are two grey areas: First, NPD in women can be confused with Asperger syndrome. Second, NPD is often accompanied (co-morbid) with other disorders (eg. BPD).
The goals are stated, just a few lines down in the same section you quoted. What makes you think design goals and philosophy aren't formed by history? How does knowing the history of a project romanticize it? Personally, I'd assume exactly the opposite, that knowing history is the only way to understand the goals and philosophy, and that romaticizing only happens when a history is not understood and/or the story is changed or told through a tinted lens.

Most states in the US already compensate farmers for wolf and grizzly bear predation.

Hunter's elk success rate has slowly but surely trended upwards consistently over the last 20 years in most states. Here is an example from Montana, I haven't looked up data from other states yes but according to what I have read it's a similar trend.

https://github.com/jaegerpicker/MontantaElkHunterSuccessRate...

Also you should care about Elk Hunters if you care about conservation at all in the US and Canada. Virtually all conservation of North American species comes from hunter based organizations and 90% of all money for conservation comes from hunting and/or fishing organizations. In fact the national park system was started by hunters as was the Sierra Club. Without their support wildlife conservation in North America and Africa would collapse quickly.
No, I'm comparing re-encoded rips to mp4 from both DVD and BD, both via Handbrake, both using H.264.
Seems like most managers should fall into reduced memory category. They have to juggle more things during the day (on average) than specialists. A random email, meetings, etc. all contribute to this. I also wonder how smartphone usage worsens memory loss.

I try to avoid leaving a game or Youtube video open when I am "working". When I try to multitask, I get more frustrated. In the long run, the frustration turns into depression. So I try to tackle one task at a time nowadays. The difficult part is ignoring the phone. It is always within my view, if not within my arms reach. Just the sheer sight of my phone seems to take attention away from me. I don't know what to do with it though... I can't take it offline because my family needs to reach me. Perhaps a smartwatch would help?
> You've gotten me wondering: Why AREN'T certain games subject to the same regulations as slot machines?

Probably because the problem is not perceived as bad enough to get regulated yet. The industry was getting dangerously close to this when there were all those cases of kids racking up huge bills through in-app purchases on iPhones, but that has died down enough that it's not on the radar anymore. I think if the games industry gets too aggressive again, regulation will sweep in.
A repost from half year ago:

I lived in Russia during the time when slot machines were literally standing in the open on the streets, and yes, mentally infirm people were wasting themselves on them. Normal people did not.

It requires one to completely lack logic reasoning to not to understand that the the purpose of a slot machine is to waste his or her time and money.

The same way, it requires a particular lack of basic logical reasoning to not to understand that the the purpose of a smartphone app throwing 20 bling bling popups per second on you isn't different.

You don't need to be a genius to understand that clickfarming app must be removed, and to do so.

My former high school classmate who did not manage to leave Russia is running a typical "smartphone fixer" kiosk. He said few years ago that the most common request he gets from people is to "remove Google nagware and lock, block or delete Google Pay" so their child will never ever buy anything "in that Internet thing"

At least Chinese and Russian parents understood long ago that Google's business is all about "pocket slot machines (this is how people really call smartphones there)." Why wouldn't American parents do that too?

You're missing that:

- you can't write a C macro which will do this symbolically. We really just want to be calculating 3 * x * x.

- having cube and deriv, you can't write an expression which combines these two, and is itself a function.

BTW, the & is unnecessary in &cube; a primary expression which names a function evaluates to a pointer to that function.

Visualizing quaternions: An explorable video series
Honestly I'll be happy no matter how this turns out. If this deters developers as a result, it should open up more potential for new platforms. If it does great, then open source as a community will continue to grow and be backed up by the credibility of Microsoft.
Yes. It's irritating to me to hear screen time constantly discussed as a monolith. For example, I have no issue with my son playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He gets to poke around and experiment and explore and it has sparked a lot of imaginative play, curiosity and interesting conversations.

Likewise, it's fine if he wants to watch the videos we've taken of our family, it helps him to remember relatives we don't get to see very often.

Conversely, I have ZERO tolerance for advertising. I am increasingly convinced that marketing is the source of a majority of modern society's ills and I don't want it anywhere near his brain until he's able to properly comprehend its purpose.
I used to have 'buckets' I would stick things into, and they would stay there forever. Context switching was not a problem. Whatever I had put in that bucket was so strongly associated with the context, that when I switched, the bucket would be there waiting for me. I think I basically had built something like a memory palace before I had the concept of a memory palace.

Best way I think I can discribe it... it's almost like in my short term memory rather than trying to cram in every individual variable, I was just including a pointer to a struct containing the variables for those contexts. When I would call up that pointer, I'd get the entire struct and just keep going.

I'm not sure if it's age, alcohol use, stress, always-on internet, genetics, or what, but now I'm lucky if I can remember what task I'm in the middle of if I start thinking about something else while doing it. I find myself just as able to solve problems when I can remember things, but a lot less able to remember things, making me feel a lot stupider and/or slower than I used to be. Context-switching is a real challenge now. FWIW, I used to be A LOT better at tuning out the world/distractions than I am now; I feel like that changed when my kid was born.

1. Get/Hire someone to do a proper analysis of the "breach". This may require your client's cooperation.

2. Regardless of whose fault that was, try to improve the process to protect yourself and your clients in the future (e.g. email signing, confirmation via a different channel, different way of collecting payments etc.)

They need to file a police report, and get in touch with their bank. It's likely the money has already been transferred to a different bank, but the corresponding bank might still be able to freeze the account if it is still sitting there.

Then again, it might be transferred again as well. Money is hard to trace if it moves through different jurisdictions, as every country has different banking and privacy laws. Your client might very well hit a dead end for such a (in the grand scheme of things) small amount of money.
