It stands to reason that the EU would not agree with the decision. If a "no deal" is the only way it can be done then that is what is done. That's what the people voted for.

Britain is the second largest net contributor to the EU next to Germany. Britain will be absolutely fine.
This sounds like "Diablerets"/"Glacier 3000" no? :)
My thoughts as well. Great job regardless, someone is in trouble! :/
This translates well into advice for startups: Don't obsess over finding the perfect solution, but focus on getting something then making constant improvements to what you have. Don't try to jump to a global optimum straight away. There are always a huge number of options to choose from, and you can always improve.
You are not "just observing", you are creating straw positions and then being extremely disingenuous about it, to the point of outright trolling.

Why don't you just say what you bloody well mean, so we can discuss it properly, instead of making these lofty implications that don't pin you down to anything?
It didn't really talk about what it "logged", that would have been interesting to know what data was being stolen.

Great article though, very interesting read.
Will anyone else notice?

When I am doing DIY I always want it to be perfect, because I know the project inside out. I know where I had to cut a corner or where some ends didn't quite meet and had to be filled, where a seam isn't as invisible as I would like. To stop myself obsessing over the tiny details I ask myself, will my wife notice it? If she would then it's worth spending a bit more time on, if she wouldn't notice it, do the best you can and move on with more important jobs. Once the job is finished I can go back to that little issue that only I know about and tweak it so it is better.

In software just build it, make it do the minimum required however you can and then tidy it up and make it extendable/modular etc.
She's all about immigration, otherwise she would have opted for CU/SM integration and called it a day.
For plain ADSL they look to be about 40% more than others IIRC, £35 vs £25 (and they have setup fees).

In the past when I've looked they've appeared to be amongst the most expensive.
You think customers aren't affected if you mistakenly replace a < with a <= in your code?
Somewhat orthogonal but I wonder if this is one of those times where people in forums like these can see further ahead than the usual stock market actors can? $MDB seems to be unaffected by this news (and the DocumentDB news as well).

Maybe I've overestimating, but this looks like it will be a blow to accessibility of Mongo -- or maybe it will only be RHEL since they're focused on commercial applications?

[EDIT] - I was incorrect/didn't look closely enough, the DocumentDB annoucement seems to be correlated with a 20%+ dip around January 8th.
That's why I originally switched to xs4all, because chello were being dumb.

But with Ziggo offering 500/50 lines for the same price as xs4all's ADSL and this move..

It's sad that we're going into the dark ages over the internet :(

Yes, it uses Webpack. Its TypeScript support does not use ts-loader, which would be used in place of Babel loader - which would affect the team behind CRA, who would now have to maintain two sets of documentation, ask bug reporters whether they use TypeScript, etc.

TypeScript support as its implemented in CRA just uses Babel like it did before, with some minor modifications such as also passing it .ts files. In parallel, it also runs the ForkTSChecker plugin for Webpack, which notifies you of type errors you made - however, it would work just the same if that plugin was not activated. Hence, there is far less divergence from regular CRA projects.

Given the history how US companies treat privacy I would not bet on them. I would never chose a US vendor that sells my data to the highest bidder. This is standard practice for ISPs over there, also injecting ads, having terrible service and being really expensive. Unless SpaceX addresses all of these than maybe they become an option.

Thank you for your encouragement. Two things to consider:

1. It's hard to have an IT department when it's about 10 people in a whole firm.

2. I'm afraid it wouldn't be as much fun if all I did the whole time was something like this.

This is a plot that hinders my career my whole life: too interested in too many things to fully commit to one of them. And the field for which I feel enough passion (music/studio work) has no money to compete with other jobs I can do. I really wish there was some position to exercise more of my wide but not-excitingly-deep skill set.

In regards to writing it down: I have a residual sense of guilt for not expanding the libvirt wiki right after I was finished, but, honestly, I was low on energy and had a bunch of my regular work built up. And, as usual with memory, I'm already not clear enough on the details to write a coherent guide.
While I believe to understand the general idea behind the theory as applied to real life, I'm struggling with a few concepts.

What are local minima, in relation to the real life? Are those the "places", mentally speaking, where one feels like they're failing?

What, exactly, are saddle points in this context?
- farming and fishing policies were central parts of the EU (EEC) when we joined, and voted to stay.

-'The EU' might be talking about them, they probably talk about a lot of things that aren't going to happen. And some are probably more reasonable than you are making out.

- I don't agree it's undemocratic, but yes there is poor engagement. I think that's a reason why we voted to leave, rather than a reason to leave in and of itself.

- That's less than 1% of govt spending. That is cheap. Brexit will cut growth, this money may plug the gap, we aren't going to be economically better off after leaving though.

- The EU reflects its citizens, you only have to look at Britain itself to see the same thing happening.

Is there a point if DDG doesn't send personal data to yandex?

I'd expect DDG to not send my IP address or browser info to yandex. Is that not the case?
It looks like it is, but is there any official word that the SSPL is proprietary? As far as I know MongoDB claims it isn't, and it hasn't been reviewed officially by either the FSF or the OSI. Is it in license purgatory?
This one is for store owners who are obsessed if their store is working okay. You can set a notification, "email me when there are no checkouts in a day" and it will email you. The reason is to get over the obsession to continuously check your store.
Note that "TypeScript support" in Babel means that Babel can now strip the extra syntax that is part of TypeScript applications. It doesn't actually parse them.

A way to think about it is to consider TypeScript to be a linter, like ESlint - but one that you can help by annotating your code with e.g. the types of values you expect it to get passed. Babel can now strip those annotations before it transpiles your code, but you still need TypeScript to do the actual "linting". See https://vincenttunru.com/TypeScript-vs-Javascript
The commissioners are chosen from the governments of the member states and then go through a complicated vetting and election process. To achieve such an indirect representative structure was actually one of the major goals of the UK together with other countries, in order to limit the power the EU has over individual governments.

Hence, this appointment system, which is additionally kept in check by the European Parliament whose members are elected directly by the voters from all member states.

You could complain that it's too representative, but not that it's not democratic. The alternative of giving the European Parliament more power and let it constitute a "European Government" directly has not been found appealing by the governments of its member states, particularly not by the UK, since they do not want to give away so much of their sovereignty.

Complaining about lack of democracy in the EU while at the same time complaining about lack of national sovereignty is perhaps the most hypocritical and intentionally misleading part of the current populist agenda.

Probably because OSM didn't fulfill the promise it was created with?

Implementation of OSM stuff is horrible and usability as well. I LOVE free software and my privacy is very important to me - so I switched everything to self-hosted and encrypted solutions. Except maps. I still use google maps for a lot of navigating just because other solutions are really inconvenient to work with.
I guess yes. I recently found out that some part of my motivations about doing things has been getting feedback from people (It releases dopamine and makes you feel validated).
I used to be a software engineer and I'm somehow obsessed with designing software architectures with minimum cost of change in future. It makes me crazy to design something on-the-fly without considering the cost of changes. That's the reason I have obsession for writing general-purpose abstract codes... It really makes me crazy but I don't know what to do with it...
Tips for Improving Your Technical Writing Skills
> The previous poster is correct. Software cannot be proven to be bug-free.

Yes, it can, that's what the whole formally verified software branch is about. Of course, even with formally verified software, there can be failures caused by external factors such as faults in hardware etc. But some piece of software itself absolutely can be proved to be correct (ie. bug-free). It just takes special approaches such as programming languages amenable to formal proofs (eg. Idris).

Software is usually written in bug-inducing ways and using languages that hinder formal verification not because provably bug-free software is impossible but because it is typically too costly and difficult to write.
I had a similar experience, you always get what you measure.

IMO the best a approach is to first integrate the test coverage in the code reviews, cause there is no hard rule [0] and second write property-based tests [1].

The EU has been a deal with the devil; foreigners flooding in, fertility rates dropping, business owners having their businesses traded off for political favors, chunks of the lower classes of society abandoned, government debt. That list goes on and on.

And sure, you can make an arguement some of it existed before the EU but here's the key observation; It's difficult to make an argument the EU is beneficial to its member states because of the political manuvering that goes on behind closed doors is not documented or public and because of that, it's excessively easy to find statistics that blame them for a host of things which they may or may not have any part in.

And that in of itself will be the downfall of the EU. Not just the lack of transparency, but the lack of public involvement in dealmaking and the fact the EU has become one gigantic boot on the neck of the public. And also the kinds of deals made. When you trade your fishermen's business for a political favor, well, why the hell run a business? That act shows a fundemental disrespect for self-interest.

And the public mind you, can react two ways to that; the first is revolution in which, 19 of 20 times you don't get George Washigton. You generally get Pol Pot and Hitler, some group of society gets blamed for all its woes and eliminated, and the new boot takes over and often has a monopoly of force and buries the body count statistics. The second way is their concept of self-respect and dignity is destroyed, people end up with no interest in self-preservation, and without self-interest, they become dis-interested in self-investment. The kings often don't realize they're being drug into idiocracy with everyone else, and that in turn rots society from the inside out. Generally speaking, some foreign power steps in at that point and begins running things for their own profit.

Or they just wipe the whole society out and kill everyone. That happens too.

We've got a whole thread on this board going about Russian involvement. Keep in mind, if the Russians understand anything really well, its what happens when society collapses and what oppertunties that collapse presents.
What's interesting about these kinds of articles is that while very sophisticated and complex the process is often easy to understand.

There are a lot of cool tricks used that are also used in VFX compositing and also in image processing in more academic environments.
I agree it's beautiful and concise, but it is not correctly explained.

I can give you a beautiful and concise explanation of clouds too: as we all know objects fall back to earth, or more properly speaking they follow orbits, close to the surface they seem to follow parabolas, but in fact they follow ellipses. the moon orbits the earth in a nearly circular ellipse, as do geosynchroneous satellites. When water evaporates from the ocean they are in fact launched into an ellipcitcal orbit, however each elliptical orbit that intersects the surface of the earth will intersect it again, this explains rain, the individual water drops fly for a while until they fall back down...

beautiful, and relatively concise in comparison with real cloud physics, but totally wrong of course...

I guess we all find different optima. To me it's not really being treated like an idiot, it's "we need to have a policy that takes into account that most of the people are idiots, you smart guys work around it if necessary".

I don't know where you work, but off-hand I would postulate that working at "such places" also has advantages over where you work (e.g. better work-life balance, living in an area where property prices are not insane, etc.). As I said, we find different optima in these tradeoffs.

The gun rights group raised $312 million in 2017, the most recent year for which numbers are available—about a 15 percent drop from 2016

In other words, they raise more in a Presidential election year than in a year without a Congressional election. Shocking!
They would struggle as "global ISP" if they go down that route. If they can control their hardware supply chain, they have a chance to displace much-disliked cable companies.

Yeah and that's nice but I think they could do better (than developing their own proprietary maps)
Admittedly, I didn't read the source code, but looks like this would use the gyroscope API (edit: it does)? Probably wouldn't use this profusely, but it seems like a nice addition for things like credit card inerfaces. Pretty neat!
Exactly. Reaching a critical mass of users is also about UI/UX and it's a bummer they seem to ignore that.
I don't know if it can be called free. But section 13 of the SSPL is certainly incompatible to RHEL's distribution model, or any other linux distribution I know of.

In particular it requires you to license "the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service" under the SSPL. That naturally includes the linux kernel which is licensed under the GPL - and cannot be simply relicensed.
mmh. i wonder why he doesn't mention multi-staged docker builds. they are clearly more limited than redo, but for small + simple dependency trees they are pretty okish.
> Sure, you can’t in the general abstract case, but my exact point is that you can do this in practice, for programs which we actually write.

No, it can't be done with testing even for practical everyday programs, precisely because you never know how much your program is crossing into the "abstract general case" and which parts of it are more general than you think. Very often the cause of bugs is precisely this - that some part of a program behaves in a more general / less restricted way than the programmer thought.

It can be done with formal verification, but that's a whole another story.
i used to hear about Demon internet in the old counter-strike days :D shame these smaller players get put down like that. A lot of these bigger ones like kPN in our case believe that all will become just a small handful of big corporations. so they try to buy up a lot of smaller players and then just gradually kill them off to try and keep ahead of the other players.

I'm doing the basic concrete actions of the eco-friendly conscious like consuming less, avoiding plastic, etc.

I don't think that will do much so I have a bigger dream of eliminating menstrual poverty. I read a book that said if we could educate more women, it could have a significant impact on climate change, and I think menstrual poverty is an easy way to access and help educate the women that probably need it the most. So I am working on creating free resources to help eliminate menstrual poverty in the USA to start with reusable products- and also building a company that sells reusable products but whose mission is to eliminate menstrual poverty. It's not much but it makes me feel better.

Drawdown is the book I read that lists 100 potential solutions to climate change to reverse whatever is happening now, if it's possible. Maybe you can check out the website and see if any of the solutions look interesting to you, and see if there's any way you could help people with them. Volunteering should make you feel happy like you're making a difference. Maybe you will feel a lot better when you can donate your skills to a cause that could move the needle. I am sure you have more skills than planting trees that any organization needs and could appreciate.

Thanks! I appreciate it. Super happy that you like the player.

As a founder I think the Playbook is mostly on point, I'm curious to see what Sam adds or removes in the re-write.
Startups are hard and it takes a lot of persistence and hustle to move the needle in a meaningful way. I love the part in the Intro section "A word of warning about choosing to start a startup: It sucks! One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we get from YC founders is it’s harder than they could have ever imagined, because they didn’t have a framework for the sort of work and intensity a startup entails."
Then the follow up line is great "On the other hand, starting a startup is not in fact very risky to your career—if you’re really good at technology, there will be job opportunities if you fail. I personally think the riskier option is having an idea or project you’re really passionate about and working at a safe, easy, unfulfilling job instead." - I totally agree with that, if you have an entrepreneurial character you'll forever regret not taking the chance.
Thirty years ago, maybe. It's now got extensive co-decision powers and is a serious body in its own right.

In fact, there's an argument that the in-built government majority in the Commons makes that far more of a powerless rubber-stamping body in normal times (recent events notwithstanding!)
Not really. Having your password manager store both the tokens and the password increases the odds of all your logins being compromised in one swoop. Separate them out and you’ll at least be able to hedge against some account compromises given that your 2FA solution doesn’t fall apart.

For the user it doesn’t really change much. Loss of password manager or 2FA client will lock them out of their account. This is easily hedged against because a lot of providers provide easy access to reset a password and provide backup 2FA tokens or fall over to SMS/Email tokens.
Don't put it publicly on GitHub from the start (=less worry about "what if someone sees my ugly code?!"). Go to something working on more or less the shortest path possible, and then extend it step by step, introducing abstraction only when you actually need it.

I must admit to seeing the headline and thinking, "oh no, another set of advice that only works for some companies and not others" but actually, it is just enough information to be useful to many small companies but not too much detail to get into "this doesn't work for my company" territory.

The bottom line of a CEO is to make the company successful and to make decisions with conflicting advice but this provides the bit that the best CEOs cannot always know and that is only from experience so I love the ballpark numbers, the common mistakes and the counter-intuitive advice.
Hm, I might be writing at cross purposes (I think you were addressing passwords?), but:

API keys are quite different from passwords and it makes sense to store and secure them differently.

If your site is generating API keys then you should ensure that they are say 128 bits of high quality entropy and use a fast hash.

Nobody is going to invert that, even if you use a single round of SHA-256 / HMAC / whatever.

It’s a good thing too because API keys need to get validated on every request and you wouldn’t want to use a heavy function (tens of millis like a decent kdf) on every request.
There are credit cards for internet that need to be charged with money first. They allow you to spend the money that is pre-charged in the card. Not more. There could be still the problem with your data leaking, but I bet that the well known credit cards company though about it and solved that long time ago. You can ask for this cards in your bank.

Basically, that would mean that drinking decaf is not really the same as not drinking coffee.
