Yeah I know - but where isn't the performance as good as it should be? Is it during compile time, runtime, memory, something else? Do they not get compiled them away so they're free in terms of runtime cost?

> Did you read the article?

Yes of course I read the article. It's against HN guidelines to ask people this.
If there any country where that actually works properly though ? We might approach it in some localised places but we're not reaching it overall. And then add that France is a democracy that's centralized like a dictatorship ...

You've proposed a reverse argument to an argument that was never made. ctz never said anything about vulnerabilities or implementation issues, they said a captive portal is a problem for apt over HTTP but not HTTPS. This is also true of ISPs that like to insert things into HTTP sessions.

SuperPACs can’t make campaign contributions, so that whole part of OP’s post is irrelevant. They can engage in political advertising. But I’ve never seen a political ad funded by Intuit or H&R Block. OP is mixing up two completely different and unrelated things.
As someone who hires programmers, no. It is difficult to hire good people. The only way I can successfully hire low-cost programmers is by building a system/machine for creating and releasing software that does not require a high level of intelligence/creativity. The only people that can make high margins in programming-heavy industries are those who can do this or some sort of defensible moat.

As a programmer myself, yes. There is no way I can continue to make this much. I'm a dumbass. (I say this having worked on, in the last year, a compiler, trading algorithms, and 3D object analysis)

I loved traipsing through the different fonts to see what they did. I discovered some font-features I wasn't aware of:

* bitmapped + ligatured fonts - you can have both!

* sans-serif normal, serif italics - Italicized words were serif-ed. "Latin Modern Mono" is an example. Also, Donald Knuth made that font - did you know Donald Knuth made a font?

Really cool work, thanks for making this.

>and it requires reading news from several sources with an open mind to get the complete story.

I don’t consider this a negative. I have always had a bit of that “rebellious” streak in me, so I’ve been told. I have always questioned everything. I would ask “Why?” like 2 year old. I wasn’t asking to second guess coworkers, but because I wanted to learn to fish rather than being handed a fish. The question everything mentality stuck, so I’m constantly reading multiple sources to confirm or contradict any one single source.
Fedora handles this use case beautifully with MirrorManager, which includes the EPEL repos as well. All of the logic is server side, when a yum/dnf client connects to the Metalink server to fetch a mirror list from our IP block it gets sent our internal mirror - I wish more distros had similar setups.
Yep. This is known as "shifting baselines syndrome"

This is not true. If the problem statement itself is a unique creation, and the solution is publicly viewable and gives details on the question itself, the question writer may have the copyright even if you signed no NDA when solving it. Even if not, if a company wants to sue you to try to keep their interviewing IP private (as they see it), they can tie you up in court at a trivial cost to themselves but a life destroying cost to a lone developer.

Source: I once had a dragged out legal dispute with a company that used a GitHub DMCA takedown to tell me to remove a public repo in which I solved their takehome challenge (I had signed no NDA or otherwise any type of agreement of any kind prior to solving it).
By host, they probably mean the IP address.
I feel like it's a little funny to complain about Google's GDPR violation while setting up a Huawei phone.
If you want to be pedantic, then lets clarify my statement that:

given anonymity requires that your identity is not known by any other entity and

given that it is known that at least one state actor has known ability to inspect/siphon much of the traffic around the world either directly or through data sharing and

given the ability to inspect traffic at such locality and breadth allows for unique attack vectors to tor which greatly reduce the need to park/own ingress or egress nodes

It is highly likely that there is no (0) implied guarantee of anonymity for any specific user on Tor.
I didn't understand the bit of the refresher grant. If his grant is $50K a year on joining, wouldn't it be 50K a year on refresh? Or is he making the point that as you remain you get more refresher stock?

If you’re writing software used by billion people, your employer can probably afford to pay you more than if you’re writing software used by a million people. Or 100,000, or 1000, or 10 people.

Market multiples will go through ups and downs, and they’re high now for the major tech companies, but it’s not entirely surprising that the major companies pay well.
Privacy vs. control
Yes I'm sure they are very independent and certainly aren't informed by the culture of political hatred for these companies. Even their personnel belay that thought. They state the first tests of this complaint were performed in Sept 2018.

There is no evidence that they worked constructively with google to resolve the technical and nuanced issue (a breach of predictably vague and complex laws).

This seems to specifically relate to "create account" on a reset android device when it gets to the google services section. That's a long walk for a short drink of water. Which version of android is not compliant? Is it universal?

In enforcing regulations changed just months before there has to be reasonableness. Issuing a EUR50m fine 2 months after discovering an edge case like this is not reasonable. Helping the company comply is the right behaviour. Then seek punitive measures if they fail to.

It states 10k people made a complaint about this. No they didn't. They even take a swipe at the Irish government in their release.

I'm all for bashing google and have numerous issues with them, but this is nonsense.

If you run a business and are not remotely concerned about the abuse of this legislation you have lost your mind
Can you point out where encrypted SNI is in the RFC? I've read the RFC, and I don't recall it being in there. I do see that there is an extension published, which I haven't reviewed in depth.

From a breif review, I see two potential issues:

a) the encrypted sni record contains a digest of the public key structure. This digest is transmitted in the clear (as it must be at this phase of the protocol), so a determined attacker could create a database of values for the top N mirror sites.

b) in order to be useful, the private key for the public keys would need to be shared across all servers supporting that hostname. That's not a big deal for a normal deployment, but it's not great for a volunteer mirrors system -- lots of diverse organizations own and operate the individual mirrors and we need to count on all of those to keep it secure. Also, it adds an extra layer of key management, which is an organizational and operational burden.

Immer is excellent. It makes deeply nested immutable updates a breeze. The API almost makes it feel like you're programming in a fantasy-land future where JavaScript's default data structures were persistent data structures like a proper functional language.

And it accomplishes all that without sacrificing type safety like most string path based approaches to deep updates often tend to do (think lodash.set or ramda.assocPath).

The only reason we haven't gone all in on it yet is the existence of browsers that don't support Proxy (like IE11, which we now unfortunately have to support), where performance takes a huge hit, and those tend to be the browsers that can least afford to take that performance hit to begin with.

I would hope most literate readers could tell the difference.

There's an obvious distinction between a pundit advancing a point of view and factual accounting of some event. That's not the say that the news section never betrays bias with the facts a reporter chooses to include, or by omitting contrary perspectives.

But really, I hope readers do not need a giant header banner "THIS IS AN OP-ED" to recognize one.
You can increase the font size in your browser if you're unable to read the indications for editorials and opinions.

But it's also kind of odd that you consider there to be a problem in the first place, because it's also trivial to distinguish news articles from opinions and editorials just from their writing stile.

> they want wild oysters to join the population.

I assumed that these oysters were grown by locating a rare wild oyster, or two, and having them spawn in captivity, producing huge numbers of offspring in a generation or two.

So they would be "wild oysters" genetically speaking. Although less genetically diverse than the whole wild population.

The study makes no conclusions about what happens in other representative democracies, and I don’t think there is a basis to just assume that the phenomenon doesn’t exist elsewhere. Let’s use taxes as an example. France has extremely low corporate tax rates (11%) and pays for its welfare state with a very high VAT (25%) that puts most of the burden of the tax burden on the middle class. Indeed, America has the most progressive tax system out of all those countries. Put differently, the US is overall a much lower tax country than those others, but the elite bear a larger share of the overall tax burden than in those other countries. Is that indicative of the elite in the US having more or less influence compared to those other countries?

As to your first question, we can use VAT as an example. Why would European countries rely so heavily on a sort of tax that falls mainly upon the lower income brackets? There is a lot of economic literature showing that VATs are more efficient than income taxes. So even if the majority might prefer an income tax borne primarily by the rich, the country adopts a VAT instead.

More generally, actual voters skew wealthier than the whole population. The top 10% of people might be the top 15% of voters. Who are these people? Well, me. I’m a married professional with a house and two kids in school. If I’m unhappy, I’m going to make a hell of a lot more noise than, for example, a single college student who might not even vote in the next off-cycle election, and certainly won’t vote in the primary or any of the local elections. The top 15% is a proxy for the most engaged voters with the most skin in the game (children in school, own homes, own businesses, etc.).

> I think you are conflating simple and easy.

I like to state it as complex vs. difficult.

Finding a bug in ten thousand lines of crappy VB code code is 'difficult', but not fun.

Writing an space/time efficient implementation of level set topology optimization is complex.

Senior developers usually love complex problems, but hate merely difficult problems.

> You should be aware that the Soviet-Afghan War started as an Afghan Civil War, between the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (the ruling Afghani communists) and the Afghani civilian populace who were being brutally repressed under that government.

I think programmers tend to underestimate the difficulties involved with becoming a good programmer because once you're good, you only see the even steeper learning curve ahead of you.

Some of the smartest people I know work in other domains: biology, chemistry, and even physics. They are sometimes baffled by tasks that seem trivial to me, and I'm under no impression that I'm more intelligent than them. I simply specialized and focused only on programming, while they program to accomplish other tasks in their domain of expertise.

Can this last forever? Of course not, nothing lasts forever. But wondering why the wealthiest corporations in the world pay their workers high salaries is perhaps like wondering why water is wet. Software has a low marginal cost, and the rest is basic incentives for the corporations.

Public transport is already heavily subsidised in most European cities.

One of the aim is to cut car use, not to specifically balance the books of just public transports. The issue is thus to avoid using taxpayers' money to finance lines that run mostly empty.

Your initial grant is not "$50K a year". It's for example, "200k over 4 years". And it's not actually in USD, it's in number of stocks. So if the GOOG stock is $1000, your grant would be "200 stocks vesting over 4 years".

Now when you get a promotion, you'll get a new set of stocks vesting over 4 years. If you get the promotion before the 4 years expire (usually the case) it will overlap with your initial grant.
Everything is code nowadays. Infrastructure as code, circuits as code, etc. Maybe the code we write will change overtime, but the practice of rigorously describing things in a formal language will never go away as long as people are doing intellectual work. What is intellectual work anyhow and is it not isomorphic in some respect to writing code? Isn't it about construction? Maybe the functional community, where they talk about equivalences between proofs and programs and amazing things of that sort, has a better grasp on what the future of programming and its rightful place in human endeavors is.
In short: It's censorship software.

I'd wager that Iranians have a good idea of what might happen in such scenarios, since the 2009 protests against Ahmedinejad's re-election were partially fueled by Twitter, which authorities clamped down on afterwards. This was a couple of years before smartphones were ubiquitous. Chances are both protestors and the authorities would act much faster now.

I'm more concerned about political operatives right here at home who are likely rubbing their hands with glee, as FB gives them the tools to make it easier than ever to drum up online lynch mobs to further poison political discourse.

I'm not even going to mention how much easier this makes it for scammers to find their marks. The guy who collected $20m on Gofundme for 'the wall' comes to mind.
It's part of the US government but does not receive taxpayer funding.

"Zero tax dollars used. The Postal Service receives NO tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations."[1]

"The USPS in its current form runs like a business, relies on postage for revenue and, for the most part, has not used taxpayer money since 1982, when postage stamps became “products” instead of forms of taxation. Taxpayer money is only used in some cases to pay for mailing voter materials to disabled and overseas Americans"[2]

Er, that's what I said/meant? This is unlike US sales tax, which is only applied at the end, and on the entire value of the sale, not the value added.

Edit: Ok I see, the "you" I had in my post was confusing. VAT is charged on the value added at each point of the chain, again unlike sales/use tax.
