Does EKM let you actually borrow a copy of the key instead of just doing operations remotely (like an HSM would)? Ugh, then yes it's security theatre. But I'm also surprised regulators are fooled; there's a reason they usually want HSMs on-prem.
I'm 37. I use my iPad at home for when I want to watch videos or look something up on the internet, but I don't want to get out my work laptop. I try to limit my laptop usage at home to actual work (or things that are work-like, such as managing personal finances). So my iPad is for casual browsing and news reading. I also have an iPhone, and which one I reach for at home depends on my whim.
I know several people who, like myself, used to drive small pickups and now drive midsize ones. We would prefer to drive small ones, but they don't make them anymore.

Among people who are willing to restore old vehicles, some small trucks are becoming classics.
Freebase wasn't built on RDF though, but had all it's own formats and query language.
This should be _the_ standard way of doing things and nobody should think of anything else.
Looking for a classroom replacement to our old iPads and it looks like the iPad mini actually has a headphone jack, so we can order it. There is no way we are going to do Bluetooth in a classroom situation.
Not everyone has the luxury of being able to drive a car or having the money for a car.
The idea of banning logging of any kind to the average American might seem stupid, their thought process being "well, what else are we going to get wood to build new houses??". However, steel / aluminum construction is dropping in price every year and although concrete isn't much better, buildings constructed from it last one hell of a lot longer. IMO forests are far too precious to humanity to just cut down for housing materials. DISCLAIMER - I'm going to come off as some hippie-dippie tree hugger here, but I am NOT. Just your average developer with some weird hobbies, maybe I happen to like plants a bit more than some since I got into plant science / algae while doing research at UT Austin's plant science dept. in high school? I digress...

My biggest reason to support this kind of legislation comes from an experience I had while taking time off from college to work in the Bay Area. One weekend I decided to take a day trip to Big Basin National Park. This was in 2017 after almost two weeks of heavy rain, I was lucky I didn't get my shrimpy VW Jetta stuck in a washed out part of the road during the drive over the foothills on my way to the park.

When I arrived, the forest floor was surging with life, trees had fallen but new rivers had formed. I saw endangered species of mushroom, salamander and all kinds of other life that otherwise wouldn't have emerged from the duff covering the forest floor. I spent 7 hours in that park, eventually realizing a deer had been silently following me. For a while I was actually lost and although I'm not a religious person consider this three hour period taking in the forest as the closest thing to a "religious experience" I've ever had.

In simply terms I though, "how on earth could anyone experience this incredible place, trees higher than I could see, life surging from every orifice and think 'we should cut this down to build housing complexes'??"

I had a long reflective drive back, feeling refreshed in a way I'd never experienced going to any other national park. It killed me to pass logging trucks and signs for "active logging" as I made my way back over the foothills and actually almost ran out of gas because my expected route had washed out while I was hiking that day.

Forests are sacred. Why we cut them down is beyond me, if you're in the Bay Area please join a reforestation cause!

I'm going to get back to programming now...
This is a similar project that showed up on hn a while ago:

I'm not sure these articles are good for my mental health. I live in Utah Valley, which has the worst air quality in the United States. I'm on the train right now as I type this, it takes twice as long for me to get to work this way but i'm trying to increase train usage. People here are just so invested in making their hour long commutes with their gigantic trucks. Trucks are ridiculously expensive even before you factor in the prohibitive cost of gas and maintenance for them. It still doesn't seem to dissuade anyone.

I'm considering protesting for more environmentally friendly city designs and transportation decisions. I could find an extremely congested intersection and protest by just pressing the walk sign and marching back and forth. Annoying, but probably effective at getting my message seen.
I imagine that's the kind of protest that would get me arrested for being a nuisance.
> It will all change if/when economic forces bring it about.

I agree, but I also think political policy decisions created the rules of the market, which in the case of the US, incentivized individual car ownsership. For example, creating a highway or creating a bus only lane, are political decisions that directly affect the market forces.
I think in this case it suggests that this device is somewhere between a traditional iPad and a MacBook Air. The leading photo portrays it with the keyboard attached, which is a little more laptop-y than your usual tablet promo photo.
totally agree, the main gripes are the first generation pencil and the screen bezel, only the cpu and screen were upgraded, such a small incremental change.
Anybody care to explain the downvotes?
The surface pro line has had USB C for a long time, and at the higher end is about as powerful as you can get in 2019 in a machine that size.

I hate Windows too but you're not going to see a macOS device like this for obvious reasons (well, Apple can do anything, but I wouldn't count on it). If you don't mind running Linux natively, most Surface models do reasonably well there.
I know families in NYC, Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, Portland, and even Pittsburgh that do great car free! It is 100% doable, even in the US.

I think the phrase you're looking for is "sawing things". If you talk about using a chain saw you don't "chain a tree", you still "saw a tree". Your usage seems contrived.
i think the key issue here is managing the asynchrony. which is sadly still a bit of a pain.

you're absolutely right that you shouldn't have two page caches. but its entirely likely that the database has explicit lifetime and policy information that would make it a more effective cache owner. but sure, if you're just going to do a blind LRU, by all means leave it to the kernel.
Every house I know with children has an iPad, either shared among the kids or one per kid if they can afford it. My spouse lives in hers... she has a Mac, but rarely uses it.

I'm a power user. I have a battered 17" Macbook Pro that's nearly 9 years old now. I use it for programming, photo editing (mostly Lightroom), and audio recording/mixing (I've produced about ten albums on that Mac). But now it's time to retire it, and...

I'm very seriously considering switching to an iPad Pro for a primary platform. I recently tried Lightroom on my old iPad Air 2, and it's in some ways better than Lightroom on a Mac, thanks to the touchscreen. I'm going to do a recording project in Auria and see if I can get good results with my usual record mixing workflow, and see what I can do about a terminal window and editor for programming. But an iPad is a very appealing alternative to dropping $2500-3000 on another Macbook, when I don't know if Apple is serious about maintaining the product or not. If I can do all the things that I "need" a Macbook for on an iPad these days... well.
Why don't they fire Mahdi Hasan, James Risen and everyone else who was only hired to shill for the establishment?

In this case it appears open table is limiting data access to third parties (I'm surprised this wasn't already in place).

I'm not sure what data OpenTable has or what they are now requesting restaurants pay to share.
Funny how the loudest voices in these sorts of articles are always from places with temperate weather.
That is a dumb comparison, the problem we are discussing is that SF sprawl is less dense, of course it will appear huge on a map compared to denser cities.

SF metropolitan area is 4.8 million, about twice that of Copenhagen, but its sprawl looks way more than twice the size of Copenhagen sprawl.

You'll find that commuting time has stayed fairly stable, we just travel further now.

Poor policies and the car create sprawl, not growth. Visit a city that developed pre car, no sprawl. New York was designed with massively wide streets, space for all the things you cite and didn't suffer from sprawl.

"parking space for convenient door-to-door transport slightly increases it."
Slightly? I can't think of any shop with dedicated parking where the shop is bigger than the car park. Then think of all the houses with a driveway that you pass on the way to work. Each drive is an extra 8ft of frontage, that's an extra 8ft road to be built, and that you need to drive back and forth every day, and that's just the ones you can see.

I can see that if you're constantly gripping the tablet. I sit with it similar to how I would with a book or a magazine; I'm not actively gripping it, and it allows more posture variations than a laptop for me.
2 Options as I see it: Either don't use Slack or try to gather consensus and change things
You’re right. Like a lot of other engineers, I once thought “ML+High level team info=$$$$” but quickly learned that you really can’t get an edge unless you’re digging into that more granular data and even then it’s really tough. It can be very hard to improve on simple linear models.

The odds coming out of Vegas are usually priced correctly. Sports markets are very efficient—although perhaps not as ruthlessy efficient as public equity markets. I would imagine there are still syndicates out there that are the “RenTec of sports betting” and just printing alpha.
Agree with this. The problem is that there's no widely adopted style guide with k or q. A lot of code you find on the web is written in a minified fashion. At least put a new line and indent whenever you can.
My iPad is mostly used as a remote for my Chromecast. Sometimes I'll take it traveling and load it with videos, but I haven't done that as much now that you have to take them out of your bag during the security check.

Oh so the users also need to know that when they hear Matrix, it means people are talking about Riot!

Compare:

https://telegram.org/

with

https://matrix.org/blog/home/

Where is a link to the app store for Riot? Where is the link to the website? Why do I get a table of "yes/no/kinda" when I click on "Clients"?

This project will will become another IRC -- cute but irrelevant.
> I'd counter and suggest that the super frustrating thing is XMPP zealots saying "oh my god how dare you try to create a different protocol".

I see no such consensus within the XMPP community, but yes personally I agree with those zealots. My interest in federation is making it possible to communicate with anyone just like I can call anyone by phone. Inventing an incompatible protocol obviously won't help with this goal, even if you ignore the issue of splitting up scarce manpower and assume bridges can act as a partial workaround (at least for geeks who can cope with their limitations).

> With this mentality, nothing would evolve and we'd be stuck on svn rather than git...

Comparing XMPP to SVN and Matrix to Git just reads like trolling to me. The obvious difference is that XMPP is highly extensible while SVN is not at all. So the discussion is not about whether or not to evolve, the question is whether evolving federated IM required starting from scratch, i.e. whether the advantages are worth the resulting fragmentation. And I just fail to see the problem in using/extending the XMPP spec to replicate your DAG.
On the flip side,

I love walking. I get groceries every week. It feels good to move my body, one day I will not be able to walk, either through death or disability. I would like to enjoy it while I can. When I walk places, I have less to worry about than when I am driving. There is significantly less chance of me accidentally murdering someone or being accidentally murdered.

A 2 minute drive feels so lazy to me.

I still enjoy going out to eat. I take the dog with me, on a leash, we both get moving. Grab the food, sit outside and enjoy the people watching.

It isn't easy if you don't walk a lot but eventually you feel a sense a pride in your walking gains. Feeling comfortable enough to go on long walks is a pretty basic human desire I feel. Even if exercise for weight loss is ineffective, it is not ineffective for mood change.

moderation in all things, including moderation.
Made it my lifegoal. Currently fighting minor issues of work/life balance to gain income security to dedicate significant time to it. Currently looking for dual-layer (if sufficiently cheap, also dual-side) BD-R sealed with desiccant and buried in suitable bodies of water (temperature stability against temperature-swing-induced fatigue of the data layers; yet retaining relative ease of access).
Predicted cost 15€/TB (incl. sales tax) @ low redundancy (save against non-deliberate attacks via conventional weaponry), roughly doubling for resilience against multiple isolated thermonuclear devices (even in pathological locations w.r.t. the archive) or tripling (45€/TB) for a current-arsenal worst-case WW3 not deliberately targeting the archive.
All assuming mass-migration after 50 years.
Transport distances are measured in units of time. If you have a supersonic helicopter (such a thing doesn't exist and is probably impossible) the distance you can get in a given amount of time is much farther than a slow walk. However in both cases anything more than half an hour away is far away, and anything less is close. The distances are different, but the time is the same.

Sextuple streets are one solution to the problem. Another is not having as far a distance to travel for in the first place. Sextuple streets are extremely expensive - on the order of multi-billions per mile, but they would work. If you sextuple streets only support walkers but not cars they are much cheaper.
> So instead of shunning white supremacists from media - tolerate them on and challenge them with arguments, explain how they are wrong, educate them, ridicule their nonsense; but never censor them.

This takes the mistaken position that social media is a good tool for discussion and debate, and we have plenty of evidence to the contrary at this point.

This is also the same thought process that leads to ideologies like climate change-denialism, evolution-denialism, anti-vaxxing, etc. to be given oxygen when they shouldn't. It assumes that by shining the light on these topics, the debate should result in people rejecting them, but in reality it simply gives them more credibility. We live in a post truth era, where people don't use the internet to debate and agree on what is write and wrong and rethink our opinions, but to form bubbles with people who agree with what we want to believe, which we leave occasionally to scream at each other, and then retreat to in order to insulate ourselves from reality.

The people who are driven to non-mainstream forums such as 8chan that comprise the scum of the internet are already fairly radical in their thinking. That's why they seek out those sites. But non-radical thinkers may be susceptible to radicalization by giving a platform on a mainstream site like Twitter or Youtube to idealogies like white supremacy, militant Islam, or violent misogyny.
Why creating another monitoring service when there are new every day?
Crappy public transit is pretty common in the Bay Area.

Looking at my own home in the South Bay.

My 10 mile commute takes 15 minutes driving.

By public transit, it's walk five minutes to light rail, wait ten minutes, ride 50 minutes, transfer, wait ten minutes for the next bus, ride 15 minutes, walk 10 minutes.

Admittedly, 7x isn't quite an order of magnitude, but close enough.

I really don't see anyway to get busses economical down here unless you had much more traffic and higher density.
How about I control my data and my preferences.

Track down an OEM Lenovo battery from whatever source you can find. Unfortunately, the aftermarket batteries I've tried all died rapidly, due to cells dying or going out of balance or whatever. Never had an aftermarket last longer than 6 months before it was down to a half hour or something pitiful. Finally sucked it up and bought an OEM battery and two years later it's still giving a couple hours of runtime.
M-Disk is a somewhat pricey but apparently legit archival format that appeared (from my point of view) just as the DVD/Blu-ray external writers market collapsed.

I now have an external HDD in a portable fire-safe that I know could go from 100% working to 0% working at any moment. The thing I liked about optical is you could have some hope of recovering most data as the media degraded, and basically all with judicious use of ECC. It's a shame.

You're right -- if they don't feel like they need to have clean, maintainable code on their own personal work, why would they feel like they need to do it at work? That's a red flag.
I'm 40 and I have been using a tablet for maybe 6/7 years (iPad and Android, for my uses they are mostly interchangeable), after buying an iPad almost as afterthought and ignoring it for the best part of six months. Now I cannot imagine doing without.

For me it is mostly useless as a productive device (at best I use it to review some technical document on a plane or for minimal SSH work), but it's the best media consumption device I can imagine.

For web browsing and Netflix/Youtube/Twitch/Spotify client it has replaced my computer, and in many cases my TV.

Portability is the key, being able to carry it everywhere (bed, train, plane, kitchen, bathroom...) with minimal weight overhead, but still provide a decent screen real estate (unlike a phone) is priceless.
I think nheko is a clone of the telegram UI rather a fork of it.

I agree it'd be awesome if someone took the actual Telegram FOSS clients and ripped out the TG backend and replaced it with Matrix (a bit like the Delta.chat folks did, but replacing with email)
If you're studying math, that's what you usually do in the first year: constructing and proving the obvious via axioms.
It's an exhausting and tedious exercise, spread across different topics like analysis, linear algebra, probability theory, and separates the wheat from the chaff.
After that, you are prepared for the interesting and non-obvious math topics.

I was very pleased to discover that Visual Studio Code has been ported to ARM64 Chromebooks, and runs just fine on my cheap little Samsung I bought a couple years ago. Along with the unix shell they've recently added to Chromebooks (without needing to go into developer mode), it's not a bad development platform for a lot of things.

>Is it not worth Linux running on mainframes because mainframes are expensive?

The non-strawman scenario would be if Linux only ran on expensive mainframes.
>In theory this sounds great but in reality every major application, game, operating system and even website is written in an OOP style. Why is that? People should first answer that question.

Ok, try this on for size: OOP in general has one characteristic that makes it fantastic for large-team development, and that's extending over replacing. OOP makes it easy to never remove or change any existing code, and also "easy" to make changes or fixes by only adding more code. I wouldn't call it a good thing, but it does enable enormous numbers of people to all work on a codebase productively at the same time. I think this, more than anything else, is the power of OOP.

> And if OOP is so horrible why do so many people write OOP style PHP and javascript where they really don't have to?

Numbers. OOP supports big teams, so there are lots of OOP programmers in the wild. I genuinely think Javascript is sucking up to the Java developers of the world, and PHP is genuinely better for adopting OOP bits and pieces, but I'm not entirely sure why OOP devs and Java devs in particular seem to be immune to the industry mantra of "stay current and learn new things".
Scientists Create a Material That Can Block Sound, but Not Air or Light
Yeah I don't really care about Slack, it's banned at work.

However, this pattern is good and IMHO should be adopted by SaaS orgs that want to appeal to enterprise/regulated customers. We have a few vendors that we're sort of pressing in this direction, and a few have come to us with similar architectural proposals to address GDPR.

Specific to AWS it would be even better of the service allowed for the customer to host the CMK in their own account so they can choose to import key material if they like. This has some downstream implications on what you can do with the key vs. Amazon-generated CMK which may be advantages in some cases.
