At least you won't kill yourself with psychodelics and it's something very difficult to get addicted to. I am not convinced they are as safe as often advertised but you won't kill yourself and lasting psychological damage is rare and mostly manageable.
The devops training site katacoda.com will be interesting to watch. They spin up and tear down _so_ many VMs, their cloud bill must be monstrous. Firecracker is much leaner, so they would save a lot of cycles by spinning up Firecracker over Kata.
Probably worse than my mom's LastPass setup, I think.

* Assuming your dropbox doesn't have every-login 2FA, you're missing on that. Relying on the master passphrase (notice I didn't say password) alone for anything is a bad idea imo. But I'll give you the option here of saying "yes, my dropbox has 2FA". In your case you have a dropbox password AND a master pass to remember. That's 2:1 right there.

* Next we have that your encrypted excel is zip encrypted last I looked - I could be wrong - but I at least thought that Office encryption was just them using zip. So that's vulnerable to an offline attack if someone has your file. Symmetric 256bit AES encryption (again, iirc) so it really doesn't matter how good your password is if 256bit AES isn't good enough for you. Compare this to an offline blob from something like LastPass that uses much stronger 1024 or 2048bit asymmetric encryption.

* Next, we have that your excel file when opened on some foreign computer is maybe going to sit in the %temp% folder until it's cleared. The entire thing will be clear-text in ram at once no doubt. Compared to you accessing LastPass or similar from a browser that's designed to clear itself after logging off and only one password is in RAM at at time (supposed to be anyhow).

* Small things like immediate access, organization, accessing on your phone... All areas that password managers will win no doubt.

* Almost done, but using a password manager will let you do things like "detect password change" on a site you're accessing and update that password automatically. It'll let you sign in to sights for the first time and auto-create a new entry. This goes a LONG way into keeping an updated and current list.

* Finally, in terms of just general security... I can open my pass manager and access a password without copy and paste, and without anyone standing over my shoulder seeing it, I can share to a non-secure friend or co-worker in a way that at least encourages good behavior and when I update it they get the new pass without me informing them. With an excel file you can reliably do none of those things.

That's not to say someone couldn't do it better than a pass manager. Just that I lead with my point. My Mom has a more secure setup than many tech people because she wasn't allowed to make any errors.
Not sure about this one but crypto code has some strange requirements (like constant time execution) or storing keys in some "secure" cpu registers/zones that you end up writing parts of code in ASM anyway. Maybe it is easier to mix it with C/C++ than with Rust.
A tree is a type of graph. Also, if your graph has cycles you could end up with infinite levels of nesting. Trees are simpler by definition.

Both the Echo and HomePod have multi-microphone arrays vs the two on the Home, and this really shows in far-field settings (especially with loud music)
I havent blogged on Tumblr in 6 years but I bookmarked some really great curated photography/art sites that were 99% SFW. Safe Mode login loop thing was so annoying I gave up on checking them. I noticed a couple other Tumblrs I enjoyed moving stuff to instagram.
Yeah, most of them are still on C89, even if the compilers do C11.

Fentanyl is a problem but people definitely died of heroin overdose, or other heroin-related illness (infection, random other poisoning due to adulterants), long before fentanyl entered the picture.
As a new engineer to the team with on call rotation, I've definitely learned a lot faster/more about the system we support, than I would have if I read our documentation alone. The real difference is seeing the system from a customer's POV rather than an architect's POV.
It's true but, god I wish people cared about the code more. So many systems could be made great by better naming and an understanding of semantic meaning in functions and/or classes

No, it has to be laying flat face down on the table for this to happen - I presume it's a result of the iPhones facedown detection but not sure why it's preventing my HomePod from registering.
It's worth noting that LastPass for a specific browser and LastPass for Desktop work differently.

On the LP FF or LP Chrome it's only listening to that program. On desktop it's trying to listen to all browsers at the same time and watching for other apps it recognizes.

It would make sense if LP Desktop had a broader attack surface.

I didn’t downvote you, but I wasn’t surprised to see that comment downvoted. The person you replied to said that they thought the show’s satire was really good. You replied, saying Google X does great things. That is either an off-topic reply or a weak way to disagree with whether the satire is good. Like Gates said, the high technology industry can accomplish great things and have some funny aspects at the same time.

It also breaks add-on compatibility because it sets your user agent to the last ESR version of Firefox, which may be several versions behind the version you're actually running.
I mean, depends where you live. In the midwest we have bigger homes and more room for stuff like that.
I think for some people they can be, but as mentioned in sibling threads, that hasn't worked out for me.
One issue is that a lot of these publisher-specific channels have pretty shitty practices. For example, Bethesda decided to not allow refunds of Fallout 76; had it been on Steam, disappointed players could've used Steam's refund policy to easily refund the game as long as they didn't play more than two hours of it.

The relationship between the publisher and the player is often antagonistic, as shown by Bethesda's refund policy, the rootkits Sony installed on their customers' computers some time back, DRM which requires the player to always be online, etc. A somewhat trustworthy distributor distributor will help make sure that the game _probably_ won't actively harm your computer, and that you can get your money back if the game otherwise doesn't work for you.
You can configure container tabs to always open desired URLs in specified containers. You just click the containers button and check "Always open in <container>".

After that when you click a link to that site from a different container, it will prompt you and ask if you want to use the other container or continue with the one you were just using. It will remember your choice.

My daughter at 12 got sucked into Tumblr and developed an eating disorder. She was in this gigantic web of pro-ana tumblrs with crazy diet plans that tell you to eat like 100 calories a day. Then the app would just keep suggesting more, "skin and bones", "thinspo", "meanspo". Holy crap there are some scary corners of Tumblr.

I of course am more mindful of what she looks at, but she was hiding it and I can't monitor everything.

It's hard to balance my love of free speech with the responsibilities of myself, these bs Tumblr pages, and the app suggestions.

From what I've seen, Tumblr can be a very toxic place and I could understand why advertisers would have problems with the content that ends up next to their ads.

I wish them luck trying to figure out this mess.
Machine Learning is not just statistics. David Donoho spells out the history of the whole thing in his 50 Years Of Data Science:

https://courses.csail.mit.edu/18.337/2015/docs/50YearsDataSc...

The clearest statement of the difference I've found is Leo Breiman's "Statistical Modeling: The Two Cultures:"

https://projecteuclid.org/download/pdf_1/euclid.ss/100921372...

The abstract has a succinct explanation:

> Abstract. There are two cultures in the use of statistical modeling to reach conclusions from data. One assumes that the data are generated by a given stochastic data model. The other uses algorithmic models and treats the data mechanism as unknown. The statistical community has been committed to the almost exclusive use of data models. This commitment has led to irrelevant theory, questionable conclusions, and has kept statisticians from working on a large range of interesting current problems. Algorithmic modeling, both in theory and practice, has developed rapidly in fields outside statistics. It can be used both on large complex data sets and as a more accurate and informative alternative to data modeling on smaller data sets. If our goal as a field is to use data to solve problems, then we need to move away from exclusive dependence on data models and adopt a more diverse set of tools.

The "stochastic data model" camp covers most of what people think of when they think of traditional stats -- everything from OLS through to more sophisticated techniques. Things like neural networks and random forests are algorithmic techniques that make no assumptions about or conclusions about the distribution of the underlying data.
It is injected and some of the opiates on the streets are so strong here you are starting to need administer multiple injections. There is the nasal spray and that is often given out on the streets so addicts can help each other.

There are narcan administration classes all the time and it is given to and by night life workers because fentanyl is showing up in party drugs like cocaine and mdma. Lots of friends said they have quit their favourite extracurriculars but they get drunk and in a good mood and forget at 2am, or they know their dealer etc... Pretty scary.
Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long. I'm assumed Yahoo would have banned/purged adult content immediately after buying Tumblr.

> system compilers

Such as? Do not get me wrong, I am against using GNU extensions, for example, and I do tend to make my code as portable as possible, but my main issue was with people glorifying the standard to what compilers themselves do not even strictly conform, and sometimes for good reasons. When you write code, you cannot ignore the compiler for obvious practical reasons. It does not matter what the paper says when the compiler does something completely different, or differently. If something goes terrible, you cannot say, "Oops, I was silly. I did not bother checking the documentation of the compiler.".

You can’t swing a cat without finding a victim of sexual harassment who felt violated by harassment even if it wasn’t physical. Your physical body isn’t the only part of you that exists, if you are harassed to the point where you don’t feel safe living your life because of the threats posed to you wouldn’t you feel violated? Your life has been compromised.

If you mean “physically violated” then sure, you cannot be physically violated by words, but I don’t see the value in making that distinction. If a woman is afraid to go to work because her colleague shouts obscene remarks at her every time he sees her, why does it matter (in the context of ensuring she feels safe at work) if he hasn’t escalated to committing the acts he threatens yet?

Every situation is different, for some women a physical assault can be far less violating than a daily campaign of verbal harassment.

I expected a lot more people to say a blue collar career path like Construction or Plumbing, a la Office Space. Color me a bit disappointed.
The path is most likely through reliable structure prediction of drug targets. That would open up rational drug design projects that may have previously been impossible. The only problem is that experimental structure determination is so good in pharma, that it's hard to compete. For example, on a structure-enabled project, it may be possible to experimentally solve multiple high-resolution 3D models per week with an order of magnitude higher accuracy than predicted models. Once you can routinely get structures, there's still the rest of the drug discovery pipeline left to go.
There are multiple youtubers who have gone into depth about the details of how twitch people get paid. From top end to bottom, it's fairly consistent (except for a little subscription margin step at a certain point). Youtube/Google is even less involved in day-to-day, so there's no reason to believe that the scale isn't similarly linear.
The comment you responded to just pointed that out.
Many thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware of it.

Looks interesting, maybe another step into Microsoft Linux.
One of the hardest problems technology companies face is how to convert salaried developers with benefits into gig economy workers they don't have to pay between keystrokes.
So are the smoking deaths.

I think it's undisputed that there would be a lot fewer deaths per addict if the heroin available were (1) of a known concentration, (2) not fentanyl, and (3) devoid of other harmful adulterants.

The problem people argue about re: legalizing heroin is that they expect the number of addicts to rise.
The way things are going with centralization, pretty soon the web itself will be unsuitable for adult media. Maybe we need a xxx:// protocol instead of the .xxx domain suffix.

The rating of a comment has little to do with its validity as does your emotional attachment to its subjective value, or "favorite" as you call it. You might have a small and vocal minority actively downvoting something, making a comment look controversial when it really isn't (climate change or sexism topics come to mind). You could also have a highly upvoted comment that is essentially a debunked urban myth.

We should judge all comments based on the validity and logic of the content they encapsulate, perhaps allowing a few percentage points for impulsive human nature.

80% Logos, 10% Ethos, 10% Pathos.

That being said, I wouldn't obsess over any single comment. 99.99% of ideas presented on HN and elsewhere on the internet are by no means unique and if they are, the only way it's possible to tell is in retrospect (the famous Dropbox post comes to mind)
Do you serve the main images over tftp and is it reliable? We have been building an NBD server with this use case in mind and had on and off discussions with Foreman people about a similar case. In theory NBD should be much more efficient since it will only serve the main image on demand (but if you want you can still use it like tftp by copying /dev/nbd0 to a ram disk at boot). It also supports TLS.

I could have sworn that was your position. Hang on, are you three kids in a trenchcoat?
Well, they're not doing a very good job then. I just upgraded to Ubuntu 18.10 on my machine with a Titan X Maxwell, and guess what? Booted to a black screen. Related to Nvidia's refusal to work with everyone else on Wayland support, no doubt.

The sad thing is that this experience is typical and expected for me by now. Nearly every time I install or upgrade Linux, I have to spend hours troubleshooting Nvidia driver issues. Cumulatively, several days of my life have been wasted on this. People are angry because Nvidia has made and continues to make bad decisions that result in a poor experience on Linux.
As someone out of the loop, can I get an explanation for this?
Have you noticed that certain queries that used to work have stopped giving you the expected response?

I've started noticing more false positives since iOS 12 launched, and there's a couple requests that now don't give me the expected response. The most annoying issue happens to be requesting Siri to set an alarm. I'll ask: "Hey Siri, turn on my 6:15am alarm." to which she'll respond, "Which alarm do you want to turn on..." and then list all the different alarms I've set on the HomePod.

This all changed with iOS 12, and I wonder if I should reach out to Apple or just live with it and hope it improves with a software update??
