We are not a crypto startup. We are an ecommerce shop selling pc games. Cryptocurrency is a payment option. We did not sell cryptocurrency and we did not use Stripe for anythin related to cryptocurrency. Stripe was only used to sell video games. Also, we are not high risk, we are low risk.

Ok, it sounds like what you were trying to do wasn't routing, but circuit-switching the rs232 lines.

As an alternative, PPP gives you a routed TCP/IP connection over a serial line...you offload routing onto the network layer and you can potentially have _all_ your client machines communicate with each other or even externally via standard TCP networking, and don't deal with circuit-switching the serial connections at all. For things that are TCP capable this is probably the cleanest solution.

If you want to support software that requires direct serial/modem links and not TCP, you will need something else in the mix. On the software side, I'd check the software to make sure you can't just turn off the AT commands altogether and use raw serial. Even where it wasn't a supported/intended setup, most software that explicitly handled modems allowed specifying alternate AT command strings, so you _might_ be able to just blank them out and go straight to serial. As far as circuit-switching...I know I've seen hardware devices that did this, but not in decades, so likely not easy to find any more. A quick google only turned up a bunch of datasheets for chips that could do it, but seems like you'd have to build your own device or track down a vintage device.

For multiport cards, an amazon search turned this up as the first result: https://www.amazon.com/Port-Rs232-Multiport-Serial-Card/dp/B...
As the CTO for a company that uses GSUITE fairly heavily, the main reason I refrain from adopting Google tech isn't so much the risk of being banned, it is the likelihood that Google will simply abandon core integration points, and will force us to re-build whatever we've implemented in Google.
The lender is the one making the decision to issue the loan, and it’s not a good idea to lend 50k-100k for a degree that doesn’t have market value. As a bonus, lenders can actually be controlled tonsome extent. Why is it more useful to focus on the individual?
The stroke came after the poor choice. Jen's case is also a bit spurious -- hers sounds like more of a healthcare/safety net issue than a student debt issue.

If the crisis is so dire, why do articles like this highlight victims that few will sympathize with. Maybe the author doesn't know any normal people.

Maybe they should highlight people like my daughter who intentionally chose a local state school rather than an expensive out-of-state or private school and selected a pragmatic STEM degree.
Is there a way to tackle the interpersonal problem of perception (regarding time invested in work) here by presenting a nice spreadsheet showing time worked and linking it to income appearing in the bank account? I'm not sure whether this would solve the problem rather than just create new ones, but if I was a freelancer and my significant other was suffering from misperception my first instinct would be showing them the data.

Of course, if the underlying issue is that they want you to increase your income target, then that requires a different solution.
Those are monthly costs
Keys4Coins is not a cryptocurrency company. We are an online shop for pc games. Your comment makes as much sense as it would saying Steam is a cryptocurrency company when they only accepted Bitcoin for payments.
This is awesome news! I see it’s still beta, which is probably why the Falco docs still say GKE users must run Ubuntu images. Adding this to my tracking list. Thanks.
Ubiquiti makes really good stuff–I recently had a great experience setting it up for a 50-person office–but it's not necessarily a replacement for actual mesh wifi since you still need ethernet (and PoE) to hook them up.

My parents house is large, old, allergic to wifi and complicated to wire for ethernet...I set up a mesh network for them last year and it has been a revelation after years of terrible wifi.
Yes, godot is exactly the engine you'd switch to if unity were not an option.
I am at 5 years and still going strong.

Does anyone know what they'll be doing in 20 or 30 years?
Agree, The setup was easy, and I then just transitioned devices to the new network after it was setup. It solved my connection issues in certain parts of the house, and has been trouble free for over 6 months now.

Looks like a big release! I'm curious -- is anyone actually using HHVM, either in production or for personal use?
My experience is out and out anti-Semites aren't into making subtle distinctions.
Do you mean most people who consume a brand name product will switch to a knockoff? Or most people who consume a brand name product and are less affluent/care less will switch to a knockoff? The sentence structure is unclear.
That is not precisely accurate.

The GPL does not place any restrictions on how software is used, so the (literal) users are not restricted.

It restricts how it is redistributed.
Also, our support requests was in regards to a bug in Stripe's system that made some anti fraud measures not work at all. It is Stripes fault that the anti fraud rules we put in place did not work, not ours.
> is anyone actually using HHVM

Aren't Facebook using it?
You are right. It seems like a lot of people assume Keys4Coins is a crypto startup and we do not know why. They certainly do not bother to read the article or have a look on the website or they would easily see what we actually sell: pc games.

I have a collection of over 1000 videos which I intend on hosting on my website at some point in time.

I plan to sort the videos according to metadata information, such as the video title, description, and tags.

What database should I create to on my computer to start arranging or sorting the videos. I am currently on a Microsoft Windows machine.

Can I collect the videos into Microsoft Access or something else. Preferably something that will make the transition to a website easy while retaining the Metadata.

{Disclaimer: I am not a computer programmer and I won't be hosting on YouTube}

I like to read about physics and as far as i understand the energies needed to confirm string theory are so far out that we will potentially never achieve them. I also read that a lot of physicists believe that string theorists have lost touch with reality.

Is there any nearer term benefit that may come out of string theory ? I am honestly curious. Somehow I find it hard to believe that so many very intelligent people are chasing something misguided.

As a hobbyist game developer I can attest to the quality and ease of use of Godot compared to Unity and Unreal (note: I've only dabbled with making 2D games). It "clicked" much quicker for me and I can quickly prototype ideas (most of which are terrible, but that's not the engine's fault).
You can already feel this as every other new feature seems to be attached to some kind of cloud service offering.
While Godot is great it's not really a competitor to Unity with the vast array of use cases that Unity has today, not to even mention the workflows built around the engine.

I would rather bet on Unreal or similar engines with equal features.
You can split expenses with YNAB. So you can either use one ore more categories called 'House expenses' & 'Money Owed' and split the expenses between those as you require (50/50, 70/30 or otherwise).

Personally though I've not seen it recommended by others, I categories the full expense to the category. And then when I get income from my housemate or who ever, I categories that income against the same expense category which leaves me the net and true out of pocket expense that I incurred.

I will be honest: just because someone doesn't have data to back up what they say doesn't mean they believe the complete opposite "deep down." It probably just means they're lazy and wishful thinking. What are your qualifications as a psychiatrist anyway?

The most popular JS style guide from AirBnB uses semi-colons. Google and Facebook uses semi-colons. I'm pretty sure they collectively write way more JS than you do.The most popular code formatter also defaults to having semi-colons because they know it's the de factor standard in JS. I myself have been writing JS since the late 90s (around the time when XHR was introduced) and it's been my most used language for easily the past 15 years.

So, sorry but you couldn't possibly be more wrong. The great majority of the other commenters here disagree with you as well. You got lucky if you have in fact never had an ASI bug as you claim, but in this thread there is at least one link to a famous bug that has been caused by it and mention of others. The fact that you anecdotally gambled and "won" doesn't hold a lot of weight.

There is one much less popular style guide which actually made headlines for recommending against semi-colons and they got roundly criticized for it by many, many famous JS programmers including the likes of Dan Abramov from Facebook. The author of this style guide tried to weasel more popularity out of it by calling his guide "Standard" since he knows for a fact that the vast majority of JS coders use a de facto style that includes semi-colons. That's exactly the type of behavior that I expect from young, inexperienced coders who make poor decisions based on vanity. I see it all day long from junior programmers. Luckily for everyone in my company, it's my job to set them straight.
In my mind Technicians translate. Programmers spend memory, organize abstractions and choreograph changes. I think the difference between the nature of programmer and technician work is not discussed often enough; where programming is a super-set of technician tasks with other, different, tasks specific to programming. One can get by as a technician, but the real magic of programming exists outside of technician work.
I was going to make a HN clone in Hack, but gave up because there was no real community around the language, I couldn't find decent hosting and documentation was sparse.

It's a good language, especially if you're one of those people who like PHP except for the few irritating things Hack fixes, it just seems like it died before it could get a good community around it.
Fwiw, any vet will tell you the craziest firefights in Afghanistan were always when we went for the opium. Terrorism has been in bed with drug smuggling since the beginning.
It does include "has_secure_password" and its friends (password/password_confirmation) though, which goes a ways towards including auth/authz even if one doesn't use devise, when coupled with before_action-s. It certainly comes with some facilities for getting off the ground:

Philips did a similar thing regarding light bulbs. Edison was strangling the market through patents, the Netherlands didn't care about patents, and everyone who wanted to work on light bulbs but did not want to work for Edison (like, say, the small competitors run out of business by him) flocked to Philips. They quickly had the best and cheapest light bulbs in the world. Well, until planned obsolescence kicked in.
It is probably easier to figure out what it should be doing. With Office, sometimes you just have to line break like Word 97 (I am not making this up, it was a bad example of the so-called open format "OOXML"), which is much easier when you can just call the original Word 97 code, bugs and all.

The World Cube Association requires "equal probability for each state" by scramble programs used for their events.

You're right that a large number of rotations will result in something indistinguishable from random by an individual, but that is not sufficient according to WCA regulations as it's not uniformly random.
The government sponsorship is the exact opposite of what the OP thinks: it's military recruiters latching on to something popular to get military recruitment up, not the NFL getting bolstered by government sponsorship.
It IS why Mozilla sponsored the language. The early "why Rust" presentations had a stat that (paraphrasing) 50% of Mozilla security bugs would have been prevented by the borrow checker.
So then you are saying every single use case which node.js currently fulfills should use statically typed languages? This does not match my experience of node.js being used in many of the same cases as other dynamically typed languages. What cases specifically are dynamically typed languages suited for?
AM/FM is an engineer's term distinguishing the inevitable clunky real-world faultiness of "Actual Machines" from the power-fantasy techno-dreams of "Fscking Magic."

This applies with the gadgetbahn. It is best when a gadgetbahn doesn't actually work properly, is slightly dilapidated and from a future that never happened. There used to be a monorail at Birmingham Airport (UK) that took people to the trains or maybe to the exhibition centre. This eventually was scrapped but for a while it provided visitors with something to talk about. Rather than discuss the food on the flight (yawn) you could discuss the monorail. I thought the monorail added great value and was well worth the trouble of its existence just because it provided people with a little conversation starter. Heck, I am talking about it now, decades on. Therefore it is well worth any city getting a gadgetbahn rather than some giant Ferris Wheel to put them on the map. A gadgetbahn can give the illusion of being 'business travel' and serious in a way that something like the London Eye cannot.
That's great, I didn't know this existed in Germany. How do the contracts work, e.g. what happens if you are declared bankrupt at 25, or leave the country (or the EU)? Can you say more about how the payments are calculated? And do you know what the implied interest rates look like on such loans (assuming you end up paying)?
Last year, when SK government clamped down on cryptocoin exchanges, many crypto-enthusiasts cried foul and claimed that (just like this article says) cryptocurrencies are the waves of the future and the only way out of their "dirt spoon" status.

Well, IMHO, the subsequent collapse of bitcoin proved the government's point. Without timely intervention, there could now be millions who suddenly found their iron spoons turned to dirt.
Users are getting legitimately fatigued of buy outs lowering quality, there are quite a few people I know who will treasure their full metal-chassis thinkpad until the day they die.

And I sort of agree... I'd only expect technically literate people to exhibit this buying motivation, but is the mass market Eero appeal significant enough that their consumer base isn't entirely tech literate people? Apparently this device has done rounds on podcasts but I'd never heard of it before today.

Hmm I understand YC is growing and needs to expand to meet the growth (I mean physically expand). At the same time interviewing is a huge boon to everyone doing it.

I’ve interviewed twice, failed both times, but continue to grow my business. Those connections I’ve made - during the interview day - has actually helped me and opened new opportunities.

I’ll be interested to know if this changes the dynamics at all.
Office is somewhere around an order of magnitude of so more code, everything I've heard is that it's nightmare fuel levels of legacy code that defies even refactoring within the same language, and has a bad habit of slurping up binary formats and doing crazy internal YOLO pointer chasing.
You can run Pi-hole on the side.
Nope, sel4 is unsafe against modern Spectre/Meltdown attacks. Only Fiasco was recently made safe against these.

Secondly, Microsoft's own SecureMemZero is insecure against those attacks. It only applies a trivial compiler barrier, but no memory barrier, so you cannot use it to securely delete sensitive memory.

> Can we please just admit that if we don't know what we're talking about

Poster you're replying to admits they're a layman. As am I.

Perhaps the people writing articles for the laymen should do a better job explaining the redeeming aspects of String Theory. Because like the OP, I too have been left with the impression (from reading articles targeting laymen) that String Theory is clever math in search of a reality it can describe.
That's not an endgame if the resources required to block an attack are significantly greater than those required to make one. Moreover, verification is done with respect to specific properties that ensure no attacks of a particular kind. The more kinds of attacks you need to defend yourself from, the harder you need to work (and you will miss some). Not saying we're not making steps in the right direction, but no one thinks it's an endgame.
That’s close, but the majority of my RSUs vested well before the full 88% rise. I only got that much appreciation in the last vest.

I will be forever grateful for Hack spurring some huge improvements in PHP from the 5 to the 7 branch when they were pretty compatible with each other.

Beginners also need to know that a specific translation to machine or virtual machine instructions isn't the definition of the program's behavior.

If this was a good idea, Kernighan and Ritchie would have filled the pages of that book with PDP-11 instruction sequences accompanying bits of C code.
Ah thanks for that, I clearly didn't click the link.
Nonsense. Rust safeties are massively overhyped. Not enough memory safety (comparable to Java, which is similarily memory unsafe), no type safety (unsafe keyword), not enough concurrency safety (not deadlock free, need to manually set mutexes). While there do exist safe and fast languages, Rust is not one of them.
