I would like to second this. My father has this condition and he does hydrotherapy every week. Essentially exercises in the water. He has been able to stop taking medication and his quality of life has drastically improved.
I would not call .NET Core having "Windows specific libraries". It is more like they have feature packages on-top, which are Windows specific.
Does Google include G Suite in their cloud umbrella? Microsoft does a really good job of using products like O365 or other IT kinda services as a lead-in to Azure infrastructure. Which is ironic because O365 kinda sucks.
No. Under capitalism, companies make what their consumers can afford. And these days, very few consumers can afford what they want, so the market becomes irrational. We have to buy, and thus encourage production of, what we don't want... because it's all we can afford.
Back in the ancient times, about 20 years ago, people would exchange goods and services for bits of paper and metal trinkets.

Working from a sofa is really bad for your posture and your small muscles, but that’s beside the point.

Why did you go back into an office? Was the choice made for you?
The next generation will have single precision hardware floats, but that's still at the prototype stage (with little bits of the processor running on a monster FPGA in the lab).

The key however is that SpiNNaker is a MIMD system (the cores are really independent of each other, except for a shared clock and chip-level shared co-packaged SDRAM) with a very fancy fast multicast interconnect that's been tuned for handling small source-routed packets without guaranteed delivery (but with guaranteed detection of failure to deliver). It's the almost complete antithesis of MPI, and it is by using that well that we get great performance in neural simulation. (I'm a software developer on the team.)
Yeah, I can imagine they'd conduct audits for firmware on the hardware they ship with their own products. I doubt they look at much beyond that though.

But since its all turing complete... this can be said of anything. There’s nothing stopping you from doing OOP in haskell, or functional in C, or procedural in prolog, if you’re willing to put in the effort.

Disregarding “comfort”, or rather, how much the language lends itself to a style, makes the notion of programming paradigms meaningless, and we’re still left with something we all know exists, but have no way to express.
Clickbait. No mention as to why specifically 2019, just some opinions on how "full-stack engineers" supposedly do not really need to know about Linux. Puts at the same level the knowledge about the details of the memory management subsystem and the handling of "log files"; also mentions a mysterious thing called 'the CPU instruction kernel'.

The same dubious opinions could apply to 2018 or 2015.
Not very editors are well-paid either. Most of this money goes to publishing companies.
One important aspect of in-person voting is avoiding voter coercion. (Hasn't always been true.) While I'm generally in favor of expanding remote voting, there are security concerns not just at the technology level, but the social level, as well.
Ask HN: Letting users self-host your server software. Why is it so complicated?
It's almost 2019 and if you want a simple way for your non-technical users or customers to self-install your software on a web server, you are simply out of luck.

How can this be?

In case you are tempted to suggest one of the following solutions, they are neither simple or easy (and would defeat many, if not most, users):

- providing docker images

- providing a list of command line instructions for installation

- using sandstorm or cloudron

Isn't it kind-of crazy that even web-friendly languages like Python and Ruby are anything but simple if you want to bundle and distribute your web app for easy server deployment?

I don't believe in conspiracies, but could it be that SaaS providers secretly prefer this situation? Why? Because anything to make the process of self-hosting an app as simple as a one-click WordPress install might tempt some customers down the self-install path.

Why aren't one-click installs the norm? Just think of the countless opportunities it would unlock for developers to reach more users or customers. But no-one seems to have any interest in solving this problem.

Agree or disagree?
IANA Biologist etc, but isn't the problem their gas emissions from the other end of the cow? Isn't this like some new tech eliminating all the carbon emissions from using the radio in a car, cool but not the problem?
Microsoft here sounds extremely hesitant to ever do the ".NET Framework 5.0" release that would break the .NET Framework world necessary to push a new CLR Runtime out. .NET Framework 3.x and .NET 4.x have all still been using the CLR 2.0 (for the most part), and the risk at upgrading the CLR is far greater than the .NET Framework 1.0 to .NET Framework 2.0 era. (Certainly the "reward" of the new mostly performance-oriented features in .NET Standard 2.1 doesn't seem worth it at first glance, not compared to the CLR 2.0 upgrade for generics.)
I find it funny that people seem to think unions are these "shadow" type of organisations where no one has any say in how it should be run.

I had Multiple Myeloma and as part of my treatment, I underwent 2 autologous stem cell transplants. The process was pretty grueling and it took a couple of years to get back to my normal self but I certainly believe it was the right decision for me (given the results).

I am not familiar with your specific disease so I cannot speak to how effective this would be for your situation but I would advise, as I am sure you are doing, taking the counsel of a few good doctors with experience treating similar cases and getting their advice. Assuming your disease is anything like Multiple Myeloma, there is probably no consensus on the treatment protocol so you will likely have to go with your gut. What pushed me over the edge to choose transplantation was a discussion I had with another patient who told me her doctor had ascribed her survival (vs the rest of her cohort who had all succumubed) to having taken the most aggressive approach to treatment. I decided that since I was young, strong and in reasonably good health, I should press my advantage and take a similar path.

As another patient said to me, "this is not something you would volunteer for but it is something you can definitely get through". I am happy to talk to you or anyone else that needs more detail on my experience, encouragement or just a listening ear. Just leave a comment below and we can figure out how to connect.

Good luck and Godspeed!
The problem here is synthetics are generally considerably less resource intense than natural fibers, I looked into cotton vs polyester a couple of years ago https://www.ryanmercer.com/ryansthoughts/2016/7/19/environme...

While the synthetics and artificial fibers are bad as they pollute the environment downstream, cotton production requires roughly 20,000 liters to produce 1kg of fiber while polyester requires SEVENTEEN liters of water.
It is. I'm using OrbitDb, so the data structures in the ipfs node are not the ones you'd expect. Also, it needs to load at least three nodes to get to the article - that's a necessary trade off to have user metadata and user feeds. If it wasn't for the bootstrappers timing out it would have worked almost instantly. That's cool, bug has been reported.
These most recent optimizations are nowhere near 10x faster. The only one that can even come close is autovectorization and that can be done without heavy reliance on UB.

If your loop is worth autovectorizing the 2 instructions to check for pointer aliasing, and other showstoppers is not material.
I was an engineer at Amazon for a couple years (left about a year ago) and I've never heard of anybody using these services. It's possible that some of the services that we used internally were simply frontends for those AWS services. Having an internal frontend for an AWS service was common.
Wonder how long until this code pops up in some CTF....
Really, not so much.

The problem here isn't so much with transparency as with delegating cryptography to non-cryptographers (or, for that matter, trusting that other vendors have had cryptographers review their designs). Based on the track record not only of open source cryptography but also of internal review of closed-source cryptography (that is: closed source software reviewed by the vendor that wrote it), having access to designs and code is of marginal importance. Crypto bugs of comparable severity have lived for many, many years in these systems.

What you actually want is an assurance that no link in the security chain of a system protected by cryptography depends on a cryptographic capability had hasn't been formally assessed. Ideally, you want the specific name of the person who assessed it. For instance: Intel's SGX setup has been audited by third parties and was also designed and in some sense overseen by Shay Gueron. You will never see any of that underlying code, but you would probably be crazy to trust an comparably ambitious un-vouched cryptographic enclave more than SGX. Similar story with Amazon and KMS (again: Shay Gueron, but also in-house crypto experts at AWS).

If anything, this story illustrates how weak an obstacle closed source really is. This is an academic project, and they tore up something like 8 different drives and game-overed most of them.

Of course, I agree with the broader point that Microsoft shouldn't have trusted hardware cryptographic capabilities they clearly knew nothing about (Microsoft also has sharp crypto people, all of whom would have barfed all over any of these designs).
Many places in AK unfortunately have a history of barely-regulated mining [1], which is now being joined by a push to expand and deregulate the oil and gas industry in those areas [2].

Unfortunately remote is no guarantee of clean and in some cases might even mean the opposite because being out of the public eye allows companies to ignore externalities that they would otherwise have to take responsibility for.

Gab contains things which people like you don't like. Every website contains contents that other people don't like. Gab is nothing special, besides allowing a bit more of the legal spectrum of ideas.

Again: Gab a free speech platform - nothing else.
There's a very strong argument that encryption should only be implemented in software, in something GPL, LGPL, BSD or Apache licensed so that its full source code can be examined by cryptographers. I'm extremely wary of vendor supplied hardware-based "crypto" that is totally opaque with what's going on under the hood.
Religion does provide meaning and purpose, but that is hardly all it is "about."

Religion also provides inclusion for those that would otherwise feel outcast. It provides social structure and identity. It provides a framework for you to build culture upon. It acts as a moral guide for behavior. It unifies communities around central goals. It uses myth to convey inter-generational wisdom. It teaches rituals that improve mental and physical health. It provides dozens of important things.

The idea that religion is just about an individual doing X or Y to feel like they have "meaning" or "purpose" is nonsense. Religion evolved as the foundation of human social order. It's about communion and community, not self-indulgence. We know from our earliest architectural sites, like Gobekli Tepe, that religion preceded even the agrarian forms of human society. It's part of who and what we are.

It's extremely arrogant to call it detrimental, especially when our "post-religious" society - where everyone claims a god of their own but no one practices anything - has a workforce composed almost entirely of alienated, corporate slaves that lack more than half the things I mentioned in my second paragraph and a non-working population that suffers in silence because they offer no "economic benefit" to the rest. We are hardly enlightened in any meaningful sense of the word.
SSSD makes joining AD easy for any linux. Suse has integrated it into Yast and it's super easy. There are also tons of linux training initiatives.
The simple fact is alot of Windows admins are incurious or set in their ways. It's true for Linux as well, but not as true.
I think it's controversial because of the implied assumption that given equality measures, there would be basically equal outcomes ... and that if we don't see that, then for some reason should be skeptical. I don't think we should be. I think we should mostly trust the data.

After my long while on this planet, I'm of the inclination that gender is existential and that only a huge degree of social coercion would lead to some kind of equal outcomes.

In other words, the data I think agrees with many people's intuition, and that the continued quest to fix outcomes is maybe kind of more ideological than not.

As you point out, there are other ways to look at it, and surely we could dig deeper on this ... but we have a number of studies that are pointing towards the same thing.

I think we're probably going to have to accept that the world is gendered, and that this will mean some deviations here and there from a specific kind of aesthetic egalitarian which is neither possible, nor in the case of most people I think even aspirational.

I think most fields that women want to actually break into, they'll be able to do that in sufficient capacity even if it's not 50/50. But I also believe that in 100 years, the vast majority carpenters will still be men, that women will still be choosing to be primary caregivers to children more of then than men, and that we'll probably still be arguing about this.
We use Mailgun which delivers quite fast, but we noticed that some customers, especially the big companies with an IT department running its own email server, tend to have some form of greylisting: if it is the first time they receive an email from our system, then they refuse it temporarily, and ask our system to retry in (for example) 5 minutes. Mailgun manages this nicely, but during those 5 minutes, the user is still waiting his/her magic link.

So I need to file for premarket approval every time I want to use a b-tree?

Jest aside, I think there is a real lack of clarity in what Fry is asking for here. You don't need a computer to bumble your way into reinventing redlining, yet at the same time a single algorithmic tool can be benign or morally terrifying based on application.

What are the boundaries Fry seeks and what moral principles do we base them on? What mechanism(s) does she envision as proper to enforce them? That bit about pre-market approval isn't entirely a joke - the analogy to FDA specifically rather than another regulator implies either pre-market approval processes or a bad author. How do we categorize which pieces of software to subject to what levels of scrutiny?

I don't mean to poo-poo the idea of getting limits around software that is making more and more impactful decisions. Hopefully the reason this article is so light on detail is because the reporter doesn't understand the subject matter. But Fry's response to the data ownership question is the sign of someone that always punts to "experts" when pressed on the finer details.

You know the problem, you know the solution and we doesn't even have to think about it: irrationality is ok if you have small environmental footprint. So this is the relevation needed by the "world" to be saved...

And now, if we can't afford people with different preferences, or intellectual interest (or - I guess - those who disagree the above - for some reason), what to do with them?
You're right that it's not cut-and-dry. A year out of the workforce doesn't guarantee a lower salary for any particular individual. It does bias toward a lower salary, though. This is the case whether you're job-hopping or not.

I've been moving more of my purchases back to cash. Not that I'm purchasing anything nefarious -- well, until I consider how e.g. purchasing medication X may be used against me, something I consider to be nefarious on the part of these companies doing and using said data mining.

Anyway, not that I'm purchasing anything nefarious. But to hell with them.

P.S. I also occasionally think about the 2-5% price markups we universally face, put in place to compensate for credit card processing fees. Although there are valid counterarguments about the risk and cost for businesses, and people in more personally vulnerable environments, of handling cash.

Slight change of topic, but this is one reason I believe we're overly fearful of nuclear energy. Nobody seems to give a damn about dangerous chemicals that can cause cancer and are nearly impossible to detect. But everyone is scared to death about radioctive materials that can cause cancer and are easily detected (Geiger counter).
They are trivially solvable problems. PKCE and just displaying a QR code if you open it on the wrong device makes it pretty much foolproof.

We're oriented around mobile use cases. Admittedly less ideal if you don't have your email on your desktop. But ultimately, if all else fails, you can always log into your webmail.

For me the key thing is that it doesn't rely on users having any particular knowledge or understanding best practices - they just need to hit the big green button. Sure people are more used to passwords, but that doesn't mean the usability of magic links isn't still better despite them being much less common.

Normal people are so bad at dealing with passwords. They reuse them, they forget them, they write them down on text files on their computer. Almost anything is better if your userbase isn't primarily technically adept people.

And frankly most popular email providers are pretty good at keeping the accounts secure. Likely much better than anything homegrown we could do. Especially given the fact that you'll just end up having password resets via email anyway.
In that scenario, the Microsoft numbers are even more mysterious as OneDrive for Business just another non-billable component of SharePoint that's consuming that storage, which AFAIK isn't Azure storage, but in dedicated Office 365 nodes. The Amazon Drive service AFAIK is just a frontend to S3.

The interesting thing about O365 is that it combines a very valuable licensing cash stream with a variety of services.

The story that Microsoft SEs used to sort of tell a few years back was that Microsoft needed so many spinning disks to support Exchange workload IOPS that they had ridiculous amounts of "free" storage available for low-IO workloads like SharePoint/OneDrive. No idea if that was true years ago or is true today.

As the article alluded to at the end there, this is yet another reminder that Google has way too much control. It's easy to hop on the bandwagon without reading into the implications here because almost everyone hates instrusive ads, but letting one company decide what does and doesn't get to be content on the web isn't healthy for a free internet.

The common refrain I hear from hardware guys is that the uncore is the hardest part by far. The bulk of design time is spent connecting multiple cores together. Great single thread perf doesn't imply an easy path to multicore.
Although surely not serious, lots of naivete here. This assumes everyone values personal health over financial health. This prevents anyone from wanting to get elected to fix an existing problem. This places guilt even on the innocent if they are subjected to upstream or state-level pollution. On and on and on.

You either have a problem with existing laws not being enforced or there not being laws to enforce concerning the issue. This happens in many other areas of concern too. It's going to require a citizenry that cares, though PR stunts always feel good on paper.
