Gotta bump it sometime, although the fact that the major version is now fairly arbitrary gives some credibility to what I like to call the "Chrome" versioning scheme. Next release, Linux 6, 7, 8, etc.

EDIT: I mean, at this point I guess you'd say it's just basically SemVer.

1) Wednesdays off are a popular choice yeah: see https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer... who talks about it.

2) For salaries it seems like new job is better way to get big bump.

For shorter hours, however, negotiating current job is much easier based on my own experience and research.

3) Deciding what you want is a big part of it, but you can make it a lot easier in many ways, as I discuss in the book. For example:

* Only ask for shorter workweek after you get the job offer.

* Present your skills in the right way (a lot of resumes are just a list of technologies instead of expressing real value of skills).

* Get multiple job offers.

* Make sure you don't give a vibe of not being committed.

etc.

The syntax/formatting reminds me of Lingo [0]. But also Logo and Basic.

One of the things I really liked about coding in Lingo (in Director [1]) was the sparse syntax but the code auto-highlighted as you typed. (not common back then) But also auto indented as you typed. It was really easy and fast to program with.

The graphics code reminded me of "hi-res" graphics programming on the Apple computer. Some nostalgia there.

This brings me around to how magical it felt to program things for the first time as a kid, and how there doesn't seem to be an environment for this kind of excitement or discovery anymore.

Maybe just a change of times, like how the first planes and auto-mobiles were created by hobbyists, but those times are mostly gone.

Any notion on what a language like this would be good for? I get the impression maybe similar to my own nostalgia...

> it's obvious that surveillance offers meaningful safety benefits.

Is it, though? As far as I know, most crime is of the "spur of the moment" type, decided on the stop, without much regard for the consequences. Thus, I'd expect more surveillance to be able to increase the odds of getting caught, but to not actually reduce the amount of crime.

I'd also be ware for increased surveillance to hamper the ability to correct "wrong" laws.
Rape is a crime, not a fetish IMHO.
Actually, this poses a question. I have disk encryption enabled on my laptop.

Now I want to put in a larger hard drive and clone the current drive on to it. Without disk encryption I could use clonezilla or other tools. With disk encryption enabled I can't seem to do anything to clone.

What is a solution?
Versioning is hard. Some people might claim that product A is better then product B because it has a higher version. Or they are getting annoyed by "lack of progress" of a semver not having major releases (breaking changes) often enough. People read too much into the version nr. Making a new version might be a way to get some news buzz.
When you walk into a restaurant, do you notice if they have an efficiently laid-out kitchen with mise-en-place, good relationships with their suppliers, or a refrigerator at the proper temperature? No.

But you do notice when you food is slow to arrive, the food doesn't taste fresh, or the chicken gives you food poisoning.
I've first used Java in the early 2000s. I think I've seen some of these times. It was fun nevertheless. :)
In addition, the more fuzzy the nature of the work the more room for variations between remuneration. I suspect that the gender pay gap is lower workers in warehouses, factories or fast food restaurants.

Creating a Gaming Network for Gamers
I've developed Playersn, It is a unique gamified social mega-platform that connects gamers worldwide, providing an unparalleled ecosystem for gamers, publishers and developers. As of now, there are around 1.3 billion gamers who use a variety of social services online. Yet, there is no one-stop platform to cater all of their needs.

The purpose of Playersn is to create a free social mega-platform that connects gamers worldwide.

> If you deal with Alcoholism, there's no "final" cure.

This is precisely it. You fight it continuously and always assume you are going to mess things up even when you think you're 'finally' strong enough. Just being constantly paranoid about slipping back into old habits. It's no joke and there's no panacea.
No, but nothing else does either - you'll need to ship runtime environment in any case. And packing JRE is more cross-platform tested than most other solutions.
Awesome stuff! thanks :D
Price alone wasn't the only issue IIRC they also lacked information such as final checkout price (including how much tax paid) as well as Terms of Service information. The consumer group also claimed it wasn't evident that you would be ordering something for money by pressing the button, though I'm unsure if the court also waved that through.
The emulated screen is too big for my screen and there doesn't seem to be a way of making it smaller (zoom doesn't work either).

AntiToxin Technologies
1. I interviewed a number of people (and their stories are in the book), both as inspiration for readers and to spot more patterns than my personal experience.

2. A lot of time spent reading books, and even more importantly online comments from people who have done it (for more techniques) and people who wanted to do it (for questions and worries people have).

That plus personal experience gave me outline of gap between where people are and what they need to be able to do, and skills and information needed to fill the gap.

(There's idea of backward design in education: here are outcomes, which require these skills, which require these even earlier skills, which require these attitudes...)
Free Spring Boot Crash Course (Early Access)
Amazon still sells the developer Dash Button as AWS IoT button. Thats probably what your friends are using. They're going to be alright anyway, because if that gets discontinued you can build your own around the ESP8266. Its just a button that makes a curl request.
But many applications were better around 2002-2004 than now. The only thing that's better now for users who don't care about privacy at all is the opaque sign-in-with-X feature.

Email web interfaces got worse, login forms got worse, documentation got worse, search got worse (peaked around 2004).
Each proposed "free alternative" looks like it comes from the site owner, FramaSoft (example: Google Forms -> FramaForms, Google Maps -> Framacarte).

While I appreciate the efforts to de-centralize the internet, this is more an ad for the company than anything.
I wouldn't say don't do this, although you do have to spend your security resources carefully.

While it only provides additional security against password database exfiltration attacks, it is also a very, very low cost mitigation.

It could equally be used in a separate authentication service as one of the many ways to harden it.
I could not disagee more. Sorry... But fuck Labview. I'll take VHDL over that mess any day.
This seems pretty fragile. I visited first from Feedly and then from HN and both times it counted my visit as "direct" (ie no referrer).

Or is this just Firefox kicking ass?
So, serious question: is the libertarian position that trade in endangered-animal products should be unregulated, or that anti-poaching efforts should be so? Or, perhaps, both? To me that seems awfully close to "might makes right" but I'm still curious to hear the rationale.

For modern setups that support UEFI, GRUB is unnecessary as you can boot Linux kernel directly as EFI executable.

I'm pretty certain the Dash button was what, in the grocery industry, is known as a "supplier-funded promotion", i.e. the buttons were subsidised by the supplier whose logo was printed on them.

So when you buy a $5 Dash button for Tide Pods™, Amazon spends $11 to make it and ship it to you, of which you pay $5, Amazon pays $2, and Procter & Gamble pays $4. Amazon and P&G both gamble they'll make up the loss on the button with profit on your extra purchases.

This explains a bunch of weird features:

* The reason Dash buttons were only available for some brands is because only some brands had agreed to pay the subsidy.

* The reason they ship with the logo sticker already in place, instead of a single item with a big sheet of stickers? Because the sticker is for the company that paid the subsidy.

* The reason non-Prime customers couldn't buy them? Because if you don't have free shipping, they think you won't press the button enough to make up their loss.

* The reason the AWS button costs more? Because nobody's subsidising it (plus the fact they charge what the market will bear, obviously)

* Why would they discontinue them? Because it turns out the gamble on extra sales doesn't pay off.
Indeed, clearly not a head-to-head comparison, I just wanted to find some figure for the shuttle's cost. It's not clear to me what the 450 includes.

I had not heard of this 80-person shuttle-bus, that sounds pretty crazy!
That's beyond a 51% attack, though. You'd have to have much higher hash rate than that to catch up to the chaintip from scratch as you mine.
> Quick Summary: This is a local process escalation bug. Serious, but it seems remote exploitation would require an additional bug.

The "additional bug" could just be a compromised update of any popular application available as a free download (see [1])? Then it is serious, because people download and run all kinds of applications from any website that seems useful to them.

Or did they? The global SIGNIT capacity of the NSA has been pretty well known before Snowden. The more revealing part of the Snowden leaks was that the NSA has been spying on US soil without clear authorisation.

Personally speaking, Snowdon actually made me a lot less paranoid about the NSA: They are, like every other nation state backed blackhat, relys on having physical access and 0day exploits to do their bidding. No magical backdoor or quantum computers involved.

> Neither the President nor the Pope have a considerable amount of power.

Depends on which president you're talking about. The presidents of France and the US have a lot of power, the president of Germany has practically none. Monarchs in modern democracies often have less power than the German president.

And while presidents are highly constrained by other branches of the government, many pre-democracy kings didn't have any sort of absolute power either. Ultimately of course, any ruler can only rule with the consent of the people he rules; the real difference is to what extent those limitations are formalised in a law, like the US Constitution or the Magna Carta, and how far those limitations go.

In many companies, both the real source of a CEO's power and the real restrictions on his power come from outside the company, not from other employees of that company. The outside law supports the CEO's right to dictate how the company will be run, but also limits how much he can oppress or exploit his workers.
You can hijack a plane with two people in the cockpit. People won't go out and police won't get in for obvious reasons.

With trains, you need an army of guys spread along the train to shoot at people trying to get out. Each one of this guy can be neutralized by the police from outside or even or passengers from the inside (see thalys train attack). I'm not saying it's impossible but it certainly qualifies as more difficult.

Well anyway, trains are more comfortable. That's the main reason why I like them better.
There are hidden assumptions in the question "Don't you want your country to be safe?"

What the question is really asking is this: "Don't you want your country to be safe no matter what?"

No, I do not. I want my country to be a place where I am proud of living. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to have traditions that are important to me that stay the same over time and try to get better over time.

I want my country to stay a place I am happy living in. I can live with some danger much easier than I can a surveillance state. Danger is a situation that is stable over time. Operating a panopticon is not.

The second premise is that it is possible to make some universal rules that will make everybody safe. Throughout history we have lots of examples of places where large groups of people were "completely" controlled. Modern prisons in the U.S. are a good contemporary example.

These places are not safe. In fact, the tighter we grip a population in order to make them safe, the more we create criminals who are part of the surveillance system itself. These criminals are in many cases impossible to discover. So now you have a lot of control and surveillance with criminals you can't identify or catch. The Chinese deal with this by every now and then sacrificing some of the party apparatchiks to the mob. The jury is still out on whether that actually works over several decades or not. I doubt it. But even if it did, it's still an unstable system.

Nations don't exist to extol one virtue over all others. "Safety" is a great thing, but it's not the end of the conversation when it comes to decision-making. It's a complex balance that should dynamically change over time as conditions force. When you systematize things like massive surveillance, you actually hurt the cause of public safety. It gets better for a short while -- then the rebound happens. And it's not pretty.

They are already different on each platform be it iOS android or web. Consistent for me would be same in all platform which would be a browser for most cases.
Go is being developed by Google and as such is designed to meet their needs. Google's view of package management is to bring every package in-house and manage it themselves. So, if a Go program needs package "A" then Google will directly import that package into their workflow.

This is actually one of the reasons that I don't think Go is a very good language for most people/organizations. It was conceived with a specific set of guidelines that Google needed; easy to learn, performant, etc. Go is also designed to be used by teams of thousands, so it's much easier to adopt misc packages into the fold and maintain them than it is to manage links to outside requirements.
My initial reaction was that, while I don't support torture in any circumstances, some kind of paramilitary force is probably the only way to keep the threatened species from going extinct.

But there are not only the two groups of people you mentioned. There are three: environmentalists, locals, and professional poachers. The smart approach would be to get the locals on the side of the environmentalists, but instead the opposite is happening:

> With deep knowledge of the land and its animals, these communities should be ideal partners in WWF’s war against poaching, anthropologists and activists said. Alienating locals only encourages them to assist professional out-of-town poachers, making that battle harder. “The Baka are the eyes and ears of the forest and could really help conservation,” said Charles Jones Nsonkali, a Cameroonian indigenous rights activist. “But they are treated as the enemy instead.”

Furthermore, I think this type of legislative arbitrage has already been in play, for the current compliance requirements. It sometimes works the other way around too, and I'd say Spotify was a succesful play that bypassed the negative US climate for media streaming startups, left by Napster.

Yes. My claim is that the situation is exacerbated by the fact that you pay taxes on the nominal return; in other words, you need to "pay" inflation out of after-tax return. Thus, your real after-tax return is minuscule; and you should, in my view, calculate only with 2% or max 3% sustainable withdrawal rate to be prudent.

I never said it would decrease either, I said that better social policy would reduce the need for surveillance and aggressive policing — which seem to be more reactionary and designed to appease the typical Daily Mail reader.
