You say "overly sweetened" as a pejorative but I'm curious what is wrong with a language being "too sweet"? Is it because it becomes too complex, too hard to learn? This is definitely what I feel with Groovy, which looks simple on the surface but is actually quite hard to teach to people because there is so much implicit behavior. But then, we're not in kindergarten here, every tool I use is a long term investment so I don't mind that too much if there is payback in the long run.

"Our UK friends need to say what they want, instead of asking us to say what we want, and so we would like within a few weeks our UK friends to set out their expectations for us, because this debate is sometimes nebulous and imprecise and I would like clarifications," - 14 December

If the UK will offer something new, such as staying in the single market, then the EU is willing to reopen negotiations, extend article 50 etc. If the UK just says "this isn't good, we want something better" - then the EU won't renegotiate.

She voted Remain, and decided that implementing Leave was the only way to be Prime Minister and it was worth it. Also, she has such a thin majority, the Brexiters will topple her unless she toes to their line (restricting immigration, avoiding ECJ etc).
Well, climate change doesn't care very much about developer hours. And the amount of power the dev notebooks spend is probably negligible compared to the power your production servers use. So in the context of this discussion which is explicitly about energy efficiency, I'd say this is absolutely correct.

And yes, there absolutly nonsensical stuff going on in modern software stacks, that could - in theory - be cut without any negative consequences. E.g., contemporary languages and framework seem to do a lot of stuff repeatedly at runtime that you could just as well precompute during build. However, this would require a completely different software stack than what we have now, so from our current point of view, it would be hard to change.
Low price means a lot of competitors and cheap to be made. High price means expensive to make or scarcity.

As someone who specifically works on second factor auth and enrollment... this article is pretty in line with what I see day to day.

The authentication part is "easy" because verifying possession of a private key is well understood, and there are various mature physical means of preventing the private key from being read directly. Stuff like on-board TPM's in phones and laptops, smartcards, and Yubikeys (and similar keys) all implement interfaces that can do encryption operations using the private key on the device so that the private key is hardware-protected. Of course, if you're an engineer working on said hardware protection, I'm sure this problem is anything but "easy," but from my perspective it's great that someone else has abstracted that problem for me!

Enrollment though... I lose sleep over enrollment. At any substantial scale, say, 10,000 users, how do you mitigate what a malicious insider in the enrollment process can do? How do you make sure the enrollment service is itself secure? You have to plan an entire operational playbook just for recovery because if your enrollment system goes down, worst case you lock everyone out. (Goes without saying that the system going down should not default-allow...) And everything you do to lock down the enrollment system is also something that slows down your ability to modify/update/repair the enrollment system. It's not impossible, but it's currently very tricky to get right.

I think U2F is one of the most user friendly approaches we've seen in a long time from a usability perspective that still maintains a relatively clean security model.
Just to clarify, I never said you sell data. I said you sell insights.
As a DDG user I share your same skepticism. But I also believe that privacy will become a premium feature, even a symbol of status - similar to the iPhone/iMessage today. Poor people will buy devices that are subsidized with "targeted advertisements" and Facebook apps they can't uninstall. The premium market will pay to not deal with this nonsense.

More Data Is Not Better and Machine Learning Is a Grind
I searched/skimmed through the full text of the bill, and it doesn't seem that it applies to data used/generated by grant-based research (or other projects). The language of the bill is heavily focused on executive agencies.

That would be ideal, although a large portion of grant funding goes to medical research (e.g. via NIH), where it would be difficult to anonymize the data. They could require that it be sanitized (differential privacy, etc.), but I don't know how that could be verified effectively/efficiently. The grants process is quite time-consuming for the grantees (and the grantors) without this requirement.

Watch out for carrots[1]. Lots of non-addictive things are also harmful, of course, but I suppose that doesn't by itself invalidate your principle. In the case of coffee and tea it seems possible that the benefits outweigh the harm.

With a tiny number of exceptions, Bitcoin private keys are just random sequences of 256 bits. They don't involve primality. So unless a shared CRNG is truly awful, there shouldn't be any reason why keys would cluster around certain values.

That's true, but not all governments do it with the same ratio of genuine benefit to unwanted side-effects and collateral damage.

You can do that with Apple Maps as well, I can't say "always" but for a long time at least, though I can't speak for how fast they'll necessarily deal with it. But if you set a marker then there will be a "Report an Issue" button down below at the bottom of its info panel/pane. Amongst the options there is "Add a Place" which can also be a street, and there is a free form "Other Issue" (which you can attach a photo to as well) catch-all. I don't think Apple has any more advanced stuff like user proposed road geometry editing, which is too bad because it's painfully obvious where some simple algorithm has worked off a satellite image vs it having some human attention.

But there is definitely some edit crowd sourcing, it may just suffer from a smaller or less motivated user base. Speaking of the latter, I've never seen Apple really try to incentivize it either, whereas at least at one point Google had a fairly fleshed out actual gamification for Google Maps where people could sign up to be "Local Guides", earn points for constructive actions, and get badges that could be publicly displayed. Essentially free for Google (dunno if they ever gave anything else to top editors for PR, but they didn't promise it) but even simple public recognition of an icon can be surprisingly motivating for a lot of people. I don't know how active that still is and also vaguely remember stories about editing tools getting shut down a few years back, but at any rate Apple has never really tried anything like that at all AFAIK. Not that as a corporate culture they've ever really gotten gaming, period.
Just as children are expected to pay maintenance for their parents when they are as adults in care homes, its reasonable to expect parents to pay maintenance for their children when they are getting educated. Its unrelated to being a adult. Besides that, you are right.
> The alternative isnfor the UK and ireland to simply refuse to enforcr a hard border and dare the EU to do it if they are so upset about customs.

I thought half the point of Brexit was so that the UK could secure it's borders.

And they are just going to leave their biggest land border wide open?

`ssh-keyscan -t rsa github.com | ssh-keygen -lf -` gives you the fingerprint for github.com.

Save this key, and reuse it everywhere before connecting to github.

Now the issue of being MITM'd is once again only an issue with your very first connection, which is done via ssh-keyscan.

As for your other servers, you should only check the host key once for any of them, and then save it. And that's only if they are owned by a third-party, like a shared server. If your provider routinely cycles host keys, get a new provider who actually cares about security.

If these servers are owned by your employer, then your employer needs better security practices and, failing a certificate authority, should provide you with the necessary host fingerprints before you ever connect to a box.

"119 miles of range in 15 minutes" is also nowhere near as fast as an IC car "visiting the pump". It does not take 15 minutes to fill the tank on a normal car.

Short of physically swapping out batteries, charging an EC will never be as fast as pouring gasoline into a tank. Transferring that much energy that quickly over wires is ... I don't want to stand anywhere near it. Fillup time is not an are where EC should try to compete.
Exactly! I made the same calculation 8 years ago, though now the cost Apple hardware has me reconsidering a PC with Linux for my next personal laptop.
> Apple shared all their iCloud user data (messages, pics, docs, etc.) and keys with the Chinese government last year. [1]

They shared all their Chinese users' iCloud data. It's a huge distinction and I feel like you paraphrased it deliberately to try to make Apple appear to have sold out all of their users worldwide. While what they did in China is terrifying in general, it doesn't compromise security for any Apple user outside of China as you very strongly implied it did.

Here's the very first sentence from the link you posted (emphasis mine):

> A state-owned telecommunications company in China now stores the iCloud data for Apple’s China-based users.
I don't think what you are saying is correct. Rhetoric aside, I think there are 2 main reasons for leaving: 1. greater autonomy in deciding on laws (especially wrt things like immigration policy), 2. withdrawal of the financial contribution to Europe.

Many "remain" people specifically oppose these 2 reasons. They want the European oversight on laws. One of the main reasons for a European Union is to ensure that these kinds of laws are harmonised across Europe. Also, "remain" people feel that the UK actually receives more value than they pay for their European contributions. Specifically, the cost of bureaucracy is necessary to ensure that the UK has a voice in European decision making. They feel that in a "no deal" situation, Europe (being bigger and stronger) will simply dictate the conditions of every agreement.

I do remote work for a UK company, though I live in Japan, so I can see this from a slightly removed position (though, please note that I've been hurt economically from the weak pound since Brexit, so I still have a vested interest!) I sympathise with the "leave" goals, but I think the "remain" camp has it right. Brexit is going to cost the UK a lot IMHO and there is no way to have a "pretend leave" that satisfies the "leave" side. The UK may have some extra autonomy after leaving, but the cost will be that they will be tossed around by Europe on virtually every front with no power to respond. Economically, it will also be extremely expensive -- something the market seems to agree with me on, given the state of the pound since the referendum.
I'll just make the point once again: more people voted for Brexit than have voted for anything else in the UK, ever.

It's because most of the time, people asking questions like these don't actually have a perf issue. This is very evident on StackOverflow.

So when you do have such an issue, and you want to make it clear that it's not a premature optimization, you should mention that it's a hot path as determined by profiling (or whatever other technique). Then you won't get the Knuth quote.
> Sure duckduckgo is a good company right now, but that's only because they're small.

Only because they are small? That seems to imply that if they ever get big, they’ll no doubt become evil, privacy-wise. Apple proves that does not have to be the case.

I doubt it’s much, the whole OSM infrastructure used to be handled as a favour by one of the London universities. I doubt DDG Maps is operating at significantly higher scale, especially once you take into account they just have to serve static data.
> That's certainly a possibility too, but do you think it's one that EU leaders are willing to bet the future of their superstate on?

The alternative is betting it on the idea that giving a departing UK additional special favors won't accelerate centrifugal movements elsewhere in the union. An easy exit is the last thing the EU wants to demonstrate.

> It might not be hunky-dory immediately after leaving, but there's plenty to suggest that the UK will do just fine in the medium to long term.

The immediate term is what has the greatest impact in terms of a rush for the exits, though.
If the vote had gone the other way, the results of that would have been clear from the beginning. It would have been what the UK had. It would have been a reasonable result.

The Brexit result people voted for was an illusion (others call it lies).

So why not let the people vote on the actual results now?

The only reason I see is the fear of the Brexiters that they would fail in a spectacular way after all those failures they delivered since the vote went through.

Why must it have been? Could it not have been a reasoned report by a renowned expert in demographics? Your statement that anything pro-immigration is automatically propaganda is ridiculous, and reminds me of Gove's "we have all had enough of experts" guff.

Someone mentioned Qwant Maps upthread, I think that’s what I’ll use instead.
I didnt see a lack of good faith in the discussion, it was more of a "hey, you might wanna know, that using that particular word associates you with this group you might not want association with" - which if anything is an assertion that requires good faith to make.
There are different kinds of extensibility.

Designing for extensibility is not easy in the context of virtual methods. Every virtual method can be overridden, which means that you effectively need to define contracts for all your methods that can be overridden, and only call them in ways that respect those contracts. In a language where everything is virtual by default, like Java, this means all non-private methods. Which is not good, because most of the time, the reason why you're making a method public is to allow calling it, not to allow overriding. That's why C# made "virtual" explicit opt-in.

But for inheritance, there's no such issue. If someone inherits from your class, they can't break your invariants - they still have to invoke your constructor, and they don't have access to any private state. In C#, they also can't override public and protected members, unless those are declared virtual. Thus, there's no safety or correctness reason to prohibit derivation.

It should also be noted that there's no perf gain from declaring a class "sealed", unless it has virtual methods (normally, inherited from a base class, because it doesn't make any sense to have virtual methods declared in a sealed class). Thus, the only time to do so is when you have a class hierarchy, for leaf nodes in that hierarchy.
I agree but in the context of the article, I believe the classes being sealed aren't meant to be overridden.

If the author has spent time optimising to that level, overriding probably isn't necessary or warranted in that area.
I drink coffee nearly every day; I am reading this in a coffeeshop. But, p = 0.028? Come on. If you tested for a few dozen things, you would expect to find at least one that had a p-value like that. Was this pre-registered to look at only DNA damage, via this metric? Or did they look at 100 different things to find one with p=0.028?

Of course, if they pre-registered and their theory was that it would reduce DNA damage as measured in this way, that would be a bit different, but from this article it's hard to say.

Now, back to drinking my mocha latte.
I'm willing to bet there is another study that coffee causes some sort of cancer (last I saw it was linked with colon cancer). I'll still drink my coffee, and tea, and probably continue to consume nicotine in one of many forms.

Life is too short to worry about maybe, probably is something you should likely worry about - that why I stopped inhaling burning things to feed my nicotine addiction, while cancer isnt all that likely, COPD, heart failure, and others issues sure as hell are.
But you can't pass that into places that accept Foo because MyFoo isn't of the type Foo so that's a non-starter is most cases.

Secondly this code generation solution is just re-implementing inheritance again poorly and with the above mentioned limitation. I fail to see how code generating a proxy is any way better than (or significantly different from) inheritance.
We either need to suck it up and use plants that can fully burn the fuel (by reprocessing or otherwise) to eliminate long-term waste or we need to come up with something useful to do with the long-term waste.

This is what I always thought, but... is that really necessary for nuclear power to play a valuable role in minimizing global warming? Ruining a few places on the planet (even the occasional large area such as Chernobyl) seems far preferable to global warming with the attendant disruptions to agriculture and political and economic stability.

There are better choices than nuclear power, but if we can reduce carbon emissions faster by augmenting them with nuclear power for the next century or so (preferring cleaner choices when we can, but preferring nuclear over fossil fuels) then I don't see why it isn't worth the downsides many times over.

There can even be no extension of Article 50 for more than a few weeks, because we're electing the European Parliament in May. If the UK is still in the EU by then they need to elect MEPs, as well.

But their seats have already been agreed to be distributed to smaller countries who were underrepresented so far.

It would be a complete clusterfuck, including doubts whether any legislative action would survive court, if the UK isn't properly represented (either because they don't care anymore and don't hold elections, or they simply cannot organize elections on such short notice).
