Regarding regionality, I would say that they're mostly on-par. Googles POP's set it above the others because from a pure network perspective getting into their POP (and thus; dark fibre backbone) is helping cover being a bit further away with the actual compute.

AWS in China is not "really" AWS in the way that most people assume it is. It's almost in name only as you can't just pick a chinese datacenter and have it working. It's a coordinated effort, they're not owned by Amazon and it doesn't have the full complement of services.

On your main point about GCP being one of the big 3, I would (strongly) argue that if you took office365 out of the equation then Azure would look pretty anaemic in comparison to GCP.

Microsoft loves talking about its cloud platform which combines the Azure Directory (AD in Cloud), o365 and their actual provisioning systems. Google has started doing this too under the "Google Cloud" umbrella term; but when you consider the sheer volume of Enterprises being almost forced to upgrade to o365 and Azure Directory- (from their Exchange/AD/sharepoint on-prem installations) you can start to understand why Azure looks as if it's dominating.
The whole GDR computing scene is fascinating: not just the software, but also the hardware. Because of the economic blockades, there weren't many 'western' computers or even computer parts available. They reversed engineered a ZX spectrum, stole plans, bribed businesspeople to 'lose' their computer, etcetera.

For a state that prided itself on their technological marvels they failed miserably, trailing behind western countries by years (they first developed a megabit chip in 1988, 2 years behind IBM).

The only place I discovered Poly-Plays (a whole wall full though) was at the hotel "Red October" in Zinnowitz on Usedom island (popular vacation place back then and today). We spent our holidays in Zinnowitz for a few years, and I sneaked through a backdoor into the hotel in the early evenings to play a few rounds as often as I could. The games were quite crappy though compared to Western arcade machines.
No, that's exactly what should be expected from a CEO.
and if that's ever discovered you've just added a hefty multiplier to your fine. Risky.
It's possible to do that without storing the passwords in plain text though! Run each word of the chat though the same hash+salt mechanism and compare to what you have stored.
Yes, I saw that elsewhere when I'd finished writing.

More cooperative still would be doing the changes before you're caught.

If you could skip your tax bill for a few years, but get a much smaller fine if you cooperated when caught then you'd be silly to actually pay.

In short, in terms of pour encourage les autres this fails badly IMO.
Exactly. They are ambiguous, increase visual clutter and not backwards compatible with older systems.

Even if they manage to convey a meaning, like the other poster said, that meaning is emotional instead of factual.

Why would anyone ever wish to express emotions in a commit message, or even in a business communications tool like Slack, is beyond my comprehension.

For personal communication they can serve a purpose, but that's not the topic here.

I know this defeats the purpose of minimal configuration, but you can define those kinds of actions fairly easily by defining keymaps that compose multiple commands[0]. For what you're after, you could do this:

keymap:
normal:
W:
- "cursor::move_to_start_of_previous_token"
- "buffer::change_token"

You can view the default keymap right in Amp, too, as well as a list of all of the commands. Happy to entertain a PR that sets that as a default keymap going forward. :)

I'm fuzzy as well but afaik Wave had threaded / hierarchical comments. The way they did allowed for new threads to be spun off. It better reflected how conversations happen and knowledge is collected, related to other knowledge, etc.

It also had a replay feature. So if you had someone jump in the middle of a discussion, they could rewind, replay and see how it happened. As subtle as that might seem just queues and context help understand - the knowledge and the people / group.

Those were what I remember thinking "this is The One" only to see them walk away too soon.

Which sounds odd. You could just hash/compare filter words.

I'm guessing similar issues too, like "no salt" or "same salt for all passwords".

Ask HN: How can I learn to read mathematical notation?
There are a lot of fields I'm interested in, such as machine learning, but I struggle to understand how they work as most resources I come across are full of complex mathematical notation that I never learned how to read in school or University.

How do you learn to read this stuff? I'm frequently stumped by an academic paper or book that I just can't understand due to mathematical notation that I simply cannot read.

But what if people have multi-word passwords? At that point the solutions become so over-engineered(either use some ngram-like setup to detect passwords being posted or save a hash for each separate word of the user's password, which also decreases security since then you know the user has a multi-word password) that you might as well drop that feature.

If you do password hashing properly, using a key derivation function, you shouldn't be able to do that filtering efficiently at all.
Oh man, I forgot about Google 411. I loved that and used it all the time before I had a smartphone.
I don't know of any easy way to learn to do this from the outside without coming up through the ranks (as it were). The only thing I can suggest is to get a few examples, and ask some friends, colleagues, or on-line forums what they mean. Pick one or two, and ask in different places. The level of assistance you can get from a well asked question in the right place can be extraordinary.

But be aware that mathematical notation is not, without context, unambiguous. So you might need to provide some context for what you're doing, or where you get the examples from. Some people think this is a weakness of mathematical notation to be solved, but I've found it tremendously powerful. There is no doubt, however, that it is an accidental barrier to entry.

So post a picture of a piece of notation, and maybe someone will either explain it, or point you at a book/website that you can read.
Even the threat of death penalty doesn't stop crimes.

True, if there is no punishment and a threat is teethless nobody acts on it (that's why the big GDPR outcry also came only this year after the two year introductory phase)

However if you have too high fines what happens s that companies try everything to hide the fault and lie to avoid the fines. Here a company complied to all things, improved security (which according to the data privacy agency let to six digit costs (while a question is how you measure this) - see other comments) and therefore got a low punishment.

The punishment also has another effect: It makes it clear that fines are being collected. If it were higher the Knuddels company would go to court and we'd have an example case only in two or more years.

The goal is to improve data safety. That goal was achieved.
From today's point of view, it wasn't such an obvious failure though. It took about 3..4 years to 'copy' the Z80 (it wasn't a straight copy, but a reengineered version with bug fixes), but only 2 years for the "megabit chip"), so the process was (arguably) speeding up.

And at least the 8-bit computers (KC85/2../4, Z9001, Z1013) weren't simple clones of the ZX Spectrum even though some ideas were definitely "borrowed" (later on there was a CPC clone called KC Compact though).

The video capabilities of the 85/2 were quite a bit more advanced than the Spectrum (unfortunately the CPU speed was half of the ZX), and the operating system (CAOS) even had some very interesting ideas not found anywhere else.

The 100% cloning mainly happened for office hardware where software compatibility with standard CP/M software was required, and also for the software itself where usually only the original copyright messages were replaced with some other strings.

You'll also have to consider that the tricky/expensive part wasn't the design, but the factories and clean room production lines to manufacture the chips (AFAIK the first of those were also brought in under 'suspicious circumstances' from the West via proxy companies that had been founded in Western Germany just for that reason, and which conveniently went bankrupt shortly after acquiring modern production lines, and those 'vanished' somehow only to show up in Eastern Germany a few months later).

Back then I'd thought the GDR is at least 15 years behind in computer technology, but in reality it wasn't quite that bad, at least for the few areas that were picked (of course the West had much broader spectrum of different hardware and software popping up everywhere).
I thought the same, although such a filter would be intended to help out unknowing users who might give their password to a stranger. People who use passphrases may know enough to not do that in the first place.

It could however in general have a problematic side-effect if the password is a common word that could be guessed from surrounding context when censored that way. Something I'd find a lot more likely here than passwords with spaces.
I've come to think of machine learning as an engineering approach for building more scalable statistical systems. Computational neuroscience seems like it does more math modeling for understanding of brain function, but still might use machine learning methods as part of its research.

Also, good is subjective, and we don't have wetware in our engineering toolchain anyway. Loosely coupled metaphors seem to be popular and effective due to ambiguities like this.
It says you only plan UTF8 support and no Windows line endings. The windows line endings ok, and I get why in Rust it was easier with UTF8 (although there are some good crates for handling encoding). However this seems awfully restrictive to me.

It's a matter of storing it in plaintext or not, which any sane developer knows not to. The codebase will always have access to your plaintext password at one point or another, whether it's on signup before they hash and store it, or when you login before comparing hashes.

If someone has access to your codebase you've got bigger problems than plaintext passwords anyway.
Exactly this. Microsoft was brilliant to leverage o365 to not just boost their numbers with Azure AD but also to get a cloud provider effectively approved by a company’s security department in an enterprise “under the radar”. What security team/department is going to say “no” to the only reasonable upgrade path? Even better in a decent sized multi-national this is often done at the global/core/shared service level so you suddenly have a vetted and pre-approved cloud provider at the global level for all of these other operating companies.

I view the former as a shady number boost but combined with the latter the only conclusion is that Microsoft is still the cunning strategists we thought they might not be anymore. It’s genius really and not only shows how much they get enterprises but how ruthlessly they’ll take advantage of that knowledge and the enterprise inroads they have.
I think that that statement is true, the "tend to" and "same quality" are very important qualifiers though.

I don't disagree with your approach but I'd just point out, since it's a little ironic, that rust's standard library is a good example of the opposite approach!
Assuming they're using a suitable hashing algorithm for passwords (ie, Argon2, bcrypt, scrypt, PBKDF2), this approach would be prohibitively expensive, especially for a chat platform, with presumably lots of messages.

Also, you probably can't just try hashing each word, since there could be whitespace and punctuation in the password text, so I think you'd have to hash all possible substrings of each message to be able to reliably catch passwords.

Obviously, though, they shouldn't have been storing them in plaintext.

I can appreciate that. Amp's keybindings are fairly close to Vim's, so it's not like you lose the muscle memory you've built over the years.

Amp's additional features are really geared towards project-based development, so ubiquity isn't as much of a concern; it's not meant for editing sporadic config files on your server. Vim is still a great fit for that, at least until someone gets Amp adopted into the main Ubuntu server repositories. ;)
>where is the modern 'IDE' for the Software Architect

It's the same one the software developers use, 'architects' don't stop coding, the system architecture doesn't exist in Visio or PP. It's evident from the structure of the codebase and the accompanying documentation, your role is to collaborate and work with the senior devs to ensure this design vision is realised and to explain in documentation why this architecture solves the business requirement it pertains to.

It's not something you wash your hands of and walk away from, having handed it over to the dev team. You're in it for the long haul, same as them.
