As someone who's raised for a hardware firm, but not gone big, a few ideas to consider:

•Investors invest in the team first, product second. If you're bright and clever, you'll have a lot harder time raising money than if you're connected and pedigreed (What, no Ph.D. from Stanford? Don't tell me that doesn't make a difference. Pass!) Theranos didn't get funded by being bright and clever. If you don't have the pedigree, acquire it with stock options (really hard to do right) or be satisfied with having it be 10X harder to raise money.

•A solid core of investors like software to the point of irrationality. They got rich in software, they feel comfortable with software, and they think software scales far better than hardware (often true). Expect more doors slammed in your face for this reason.

•Hardware doesn't have much use without a software component, so without looking like you're reaching, try casting your hardware product as a software product first and foremost, with some hardware IP added on which you will label as "open source hardware" for somebody else to mass-manufacture for you at their own risk.

•Nothing succeeds like success. You need to have traction in the market, which is way harder to "fake it until you make it" with hardware than with software (you can get "users" by giving software away, but I can't think of a hardware startup that did the same since CueCat, and that failed miserably). Investors will give you a kidney if you don't need them. If you're at the idea stage, you'll be as welcomed as a methhead at the Oscars.
Now they can save valuable CPU time and your phone will extract advertising keywords from your conversations for them, even without an internet connection. It's way more efficient to cache speech converted to text while offline rather than audio clips. The servers get cleaned up text data, saving bandwidth and storage.
WOW64 is a 64-bit "wrapper" for 32-bit processes. You can see this when you debug a WOW64 process in WinDbg[0]; so, the system is agnostic about it's "bitness" because it "appears" to be an x64 process but it's really 32-bit, just wrapped. Thus, the posit. :)

Hi there,

is it possible to have different shapes for different timesteps? The borders of the states of today were very different 120 years ago. Some were radically diffrent (Germany, Russia), some didn't even exist (Slovakia, Croatia, Sub Sahara-African Nations), some don't exist anymore today (Austro-Hungarian Empire).
It's not in this case. B738 is the official icao code for the aircraft, just like B38M is for the max.
I can't speak for Switzerland but all universities in England charge the same for UK students with nothing upfront. Sure they don't have space for everybody who meets the minimum but that's inevitable. There are no legacy admissions, athletic admissions, positive discrimination etc. Everybody goes through the same process.

Also worth mentioning GitCenter (here's a public proxy link https://zn.amorgan.xyz/1GitLiXB6t5r8vuU2zC6a8GYj9ME6HMQ4t/re...) which runs on top of ZeroNet as is already in use by a number of people. Notably ZeroNet's source code is also mirrored here.

It has issues/PRs and the like, and content can be deleted quite easily.

Supports SVN too apparently.

What you are saying, put into more provocative words: email world be safer now if, from the beginning, every email client had a big, friendly button "send from different address". In the years of earthly mass adaption it would have been colloquially called "the Bill Gates button". It certainly would not be hard to explain the value of signatures in that timeline.
True, but two different issues.

The domain part of signing is now being solved by DNS (PTR, SPF, Caller-ID). But signing still it has it's use because you also know the user exists.

And encryption is very useful because most emails are stored as plain text on some server.
Interesting subject. I am now considering whether to do a video set "JT learns X", where a qualified developer (me) takes a subject I know nothing about, and video my learning, and see all the "well, this makes no sense" -> "how could I even have misunderstood that, it's so simple" moments.

Would that be of interest to anyone other than myself?

This might also explain the choice of C++. Rather than rewriting their calculation engine in another language (it works, so a rewrite is rarely a good idea), UWP (not WPF; XAML is merely an XML dialect for object graphs and works pretty much anywhere if you want it to) allows you to write the UI in C++ (C++/CX to be precise) as well, and the UI code is for the most part not that complicated that C++ is a major impediment. That, and of course, most developers for Windows applications at Microsoft are familiar and well-versed in C++. Rewriting it in JavaScript or C# may take longer.
I can't see any downside but my vantage is not from inside MS. I would appreciate if they did it though.

Such granular monitoring brings #micromanaging to a literal meaning. Feck that...
E-mail is transitioning to web based central/closed services. For example in Sweden - government do not send e-mail, instead they use a private proprietary service that require an Android or iPhone for second factor access, as an alternative to snail mail.

So if you want to keep messaging decentralized, open and standardized, instead of just complaining, we need to try out things like e-mail signing. In order to improve we need to feel the pain points and engineer them away.
To be fair, whether there is affirmative action or bias or not, characteristic names give a lot away for this religious-ethnic group, as with other groups.

I always sign my email with PGP/MIME, although I do wonder if any of the recipients ever bothered to validate the signature. I mostly do it out of habit at this point. I use my GnuPG smartcard to authenticate through SSH and encrypt files so I might as well tell mutt to sign my email.

These days I suspect that the average user simply trusts their provider's antispam to discard bogus emails (and as TFA points out, DKIM does effectively provide a signature, although obviously it's not the same trust model).

I haven't given up on PGP, if anything I use it more than ever, but in this age of webmails and the general trend towards the centralization of the web I think the author is preaching in the desert.
Very strange how there is such wide discrepancies in experiences for Mac users.
Good article

It's a little more readable for me where it was originally posted[0] i.e. without a good chunk of the screen being taken up by the Medium and HackerNoon top bars and the bar at the bottom trying to get me to join Medium. YMMV

The way you get forced is by someone filing a civil suit. My question was has anyone done that and been successful. It looks like the answer is yes, although it was settled out of court and not adjudicated. I am curious if a judge has ever found the AGPL to be a valid license constraint.

Personally, I find “you are licensed to use the software without releasing your modifications on your internet connected computer, however if you open a port and offer it as a service, you are not” to be entirely ridiculous. It seems to me that a license can’t (or at least shouldn’t) hinge on what other software I am or am not running on my computer (eg a webserver).

That is why I asked. I’m all for copyleft (despite the fact that its validity hinges on an inherent affirmation of the validity of the concept of intellectual property), but I passionately hate the AGPL because I think it is an unjust infringement upon my freedom as a user. It’s like saying “you have a license to use this software as long as you don’t run a browser that accesses porn on the same machine”. I think it oversteps the boundaries of copyright-as-designed.

My issue isn't with font size, it's with websites that are unnecessarily thin.
For some reason, especially with blogs, there's a habit of reducing the width of the text to a quarter of the screen width.
I came here to say this, I listened to this episode but didn't realized it was related to TrueCrypt until now.

The state-operated Indian Institutes of Technology are generally considered the best colleges in India. Top private colleges are just below that (BITS being top dog among these) and the state National Institutes of Technology are also quite good. After these, quality starts degrading quickly among both state and private colleges.

I went through a mediocre private college - I can safely say that besides two or three of my profs, most were absolutely useless and couldn't code their way out of a paper bag. The syllabus is also pretty crap - when it wasn't random electronics courses to pad the syllabus, it was the same course slightly tweaked and presented by a different prof. There was no mandatory course where a large-scale programming project was to be made. Version control, shell usage, practical database usage, and many other basic things were not taught at all.

> You have wrong browser if it does not allow zoomin in and out at will.

Yes, my browser allows zoomin in and out at will, but that's not the point.

My question was: why in the large majority of the cases I have to do that, why isn't "zoomed in" (by using larger font-size) by default?

Also, some sites don't change the width when I zoom in, so that basically means I can have either unreadable text or readable poetry (4-5 words per line).

About 60 weeks ago I had to apply a mailing list patch on top of the most recent GCC master prior to the patch, so GCC would know -mnative for them. It was on the branch that is becoming GCC9.
If it wasn't backported, I'll wish you luck getting decent perf out of them. I recall a double-digit boost in CPU perf compared to GCC7 at -O3 when only allowing the vectoe instructions of Avoton, but not being able to get full instruction scheduling optimization.

They are not slow though, I use them for e.g. irssi/toxic bouncers and such. Uptime is sufficient, if you have backups as you should have.
From a UX perspective, it is exactly the same as a verified user on Twitter or whatever. Some people get a blue tick by their name in their emails.

Also if someone who normally sends you a signed message sends you an unsigned one, a security warning is displayed and / or the message is automatically directed straight to the spam folder.
Bad timing for the "aircraft safety" example...
> Concerns about server going down or changing cloud provider imo is not particularly interesting or even useful advantage to mention for personal infrastructure.

I look at this from a different perspective: I have plenty of actual things to do, personal infra should be the least of my concerns and I should be able get them up and running in least amount of time.

> I've never got a case when an unmaintained docker setup can run 6 months later

It really depends on the well-being of the host and the containerized application. I have plenty of containers running for more than a year without a single hiccup.
Axcept helps you creating, organizing and executing your screenshot testing suite.
You write the tests with our powerful test editor, we execute them with high speed (up to 100 tests in parallel).

We solved most of the problems of screenshot testing such as:
- Mocking
- Screenshot Management
- Scaling

You can get up and running in a matter of minutes!
We need less PWAs, not more. Many people are already confused enough when it comes to grasping the difference between websites and native applications. Another "standard" created to consolidate Google's position in the market.
Docker offers orchestration out of the box.
If we accept that explanation then we get a lot more nuanced situation than just "it has negative social effects". A lot things have a negative social effect, but it is very rare that a redistribution is the right policy to solve it.

A gender-dependent redistribution would depend on which data we want to use. If for example carer choice is included, then we have a gap in work related injuries and death. A hard problem to redistribute. If numbers or hours at work is included we would need to redistribute that too, including overtime, and in regard to sick days women spend 50% more of that so gender-dependent redistribution model would also have to account for that.

The biggest problem I see however with a gender-dependent redistribution model is that the distribution curve is not flat. The top 1% look very different than the bottom 1%. If we look at introduction wages alone we get close to 0% pay gap in most industries, with some that overpay men and other that overpay women. A common finding in gender studies is that the bottom 10% and top 10% is dominated by men, with the top 1% being exceptional outliners, which if the same is true for income means that a gender-dependent redistribution would either need to be very dumb or be applied based on such distribution curve.

If we include pay gap to mean all income, including those with zero income, we get problems that a homeless man is treated equal to a home spouse where their partner is a millionaire. A gender-dependent redistribution should also account for this basic context.

This is why that explanation has so profound effect on the discussion. It basically makes a gender-dependent redistribution policy impossible. A bit like how crime policy in regard to gender, race and immigrant status is profoundly changed if we accept the explanation based on social economical status.
Well, in those days IRL, everyone's name, address and phone number were publicly available in the phone book, you would answer all phone calls without knowing who was calling, and it wasn't a problem is it was someone you didn't know; same for visits.

Nowadays, each of those is seen and felt as a terrible violation of your privacy, your intimacy, your property even... and people often rather play possum than take the 'risk' of picking up the phone or opening the door when the phone or the door bell rings.

When you call someone who hasn't got your number already, you are initially met with hostility (in the lucky case the person even picks up the phone) and have to justify "how the hell did you get my number?"
You can run systemd inside a systemd-nspawn container. I've found this quite useful for debugging/testing custom Raspberry Pi disk images. You can simply import the rootfs into the container and have something that behaves almost like the real system, including startup, but right there on your development machine. I don't think you can do anything like that in Docker. But I do appreciate most people probably don't want/need that systemd support.

It sounds like one of those toy rebranding exercises. Where they take a TV character, add armour (that never appeared in the TV show), and sell it as 'Battle Pony' or something.

How can anybody compare this to Github than? I want to maintain control over who can do what in my repo. If this solution does not support it than it is not an alternative of Github at all.
Does it mean the security of AES has been reduced to 25% of the original security level? No.

I'm curious why that's the case. A plain reading of reducing the security level from 128 to 126 bits would seem to imply the answer is yes?
Well I don't know if it would be safer per se... I imagine you'd probably want some USPIS enforcement for that to happen, otherwise it might end up like phone calls (given it seems people understand caller IDs are spoofable and yet it's as big a problem now as it's ever been). But yes, it could've made it potentially easier to explain.
You don't need to encrypt or sign anything. Organisations who email you like your bank and Paypal need to. You just need your email client to show a tick when it has verified a signature, which many already do with S/MIME.
You can’t have a systemic problem based on withheld information after that information has been disclosed. It’s known at this point, so that means they don’t know what the issue is.

My understanding is that it's the same journalist who wrote that story/book being interviewed in the podcast (Evan Ratliff). Either way, the Atavist piece is a great read and very nicely presented
I'm also confused about how privacy enhancing browser extensions work within a PWA. I've yet to get a full answer on this (it seems as if no one really knows) but it seems to me as if a PWA is more friendly to trackers and less friendly to users of the browser.
Not at all. There are plethora of services that are decentralized and have proper access control.
Yes. Also, the only thing that survives between RUN directives is the disk image so && saves state:

start-daemon && configure-daemon-while-running && stop-daemon

The point is, I've seen far more && than RUN directives so the decision was backwards.
>Rewriting it in JavaScript or C# may take longer.

This is very true. If we look at Exchange, as an example, most of it was ported to .NET between E12 (2007) and E14 (2010) but Information Store wasn't able to be fully ported to C# until E15 (2013)[0,1].

Constructable Stylesheets
But he had to migrate away from FreeBSD to use Docker, so that doesn't sound like a portability advantage at all, in the usual sense of the word "portability". "Improved security" is also a red herring. You can't make something more secure by adding an additional layer of abstraction. He even mentions that he found it problematic that inside the Docker container, everything runs as root by default. Plus the dicker daemon must needlessly run as root on the host.

Presumably there's already a big safety margin built in when using 64 bits and some computational overhead involved with increasing that to 128 or 256 bits.
Could there be more non fatal incidents that only manufacturers and safety regulators are aware of ?
What about black professionals who did coke? I mean it might be more about class (in the good sense of the word, as in: "classy") rather than race.

Good example: go out in the street in Russia at night drunk, unshaven and with dirty clothes, and you'd be beaten and robbed by cops. Do same in a good suit and shaven and you'll be alright.
How long does this "pay 17% of your salary" apply? What if my first job pays less and then I switch jobs, or I get a raise that goes over the $50K but only after a couple years?

Maybe an explanation is: CS students usually don't get entry-level jobs that pay more than 50K EUR, often probably less. So maybe they hope that they never have to pay back. Or they don't care and are happy to have a good education after all.

I'm happy for you and the growth and maybe I missed something :)
I don't know anything about how elliptic curve points are represented in memory, so I thought using a hash-function is difficult. If that's not the case, then there is no problem. Using hashes as 'nothing up your sleeve' numbers.
Hi, thanks for your question. It kind of is. I would like to get to the point where I could change the maps over time to accurately represent things. However, there is some limited capacity to do it now through the use of region groups. So you can't change the regions themselves, but you can group them together. For example, you could model USSR as Russia and some of the Eastern European countries (I haven't created a youtube video on how to do that yet, but it's pretty easy - there is an example in the USA formation animation where Virginia gets split into West Virginia and Virginia around 1863). Region groups were also created to represent data on larger scales. For example if you want to represent a sales region for Western Europe you could group those countries together in a region group. Then your CSV data would only need to have one row for 'Western Europe' that would then shade all the regions in that group.

This is a joke. I think people just use the word decentralised as a blunt and nothing else matters. No access control, no problem it is decentralised. No content filtering, no problem it is decentralised. And so on. Decentralised is the new religion.
This is not about encryption, only signing. When PayPal or your bank or another large organisation send you an email it should be signed. Then you can verify it is from them. Encryption would be a nice to have, but, while it uses the same technology, it's a whole different can of worms.
File Transfer https://xkcd.com/949/

Hope Firefox Send solves this ever present problem ;)
Even for programmers like me it makes no sense (to use it, not to comprehend ;)).

I don't sign my emails, and I don't expect my contacts to sign their emails. I also don't see how the effort would bring a proper "return on investment". It would basically change nothing for me or my contacts.

This is an infrastructural problem, and needs to be solved at that level. The user has nothing to do with it, doesn't understand it, doesn't know what problem it solves.

That's the pros and cons of decentralization. It gives you a lot of freedom, but sometimes too much freedom is a gate for many issues like manipulation, pornography, spamming, low-quality content etc...
