I didn't even know about "HTTP Exchanges", and I'm more interested than ~98% of the population about this kind of stuff.

Showing the name of the "signer" in the address bar, instead of the server where the content is actually hosted goes against decades of browser UI design.

Good on Mozilla for marking it as harmful.
Here's a ZIL version of the game where "xyzzy" and "plugh" first appeared: https://bitbucket.org/jmcgrew/zilf/src/tip/Examples/advent/a...
The practical answer is that the question is ill posed, and you need to clarify what is actually being asked. A reasonable way to answer the question as asked would be to model the coastline as a fractal, which would give you an estimated length of infinity. What is needed is not a better way of estimating the answer to the question as asked, because the answer to that question is not useful. Instead, what is needed is a better question (which would require knowledge of why the question is being asked).

You're in this thread a lot, and you keep referencing "Mozilla has marked Signed HTTP exchanges as harmful". Is this all that important? Should Mozilla support it in 6 months as they always do with their follow-chrome-dont-lose-marketshare approach, will you also support it? In every comment, you are focusing on the "Google is evil" part of it, instead of focusing on "Are HTTP Exchanges themselves bad?", "is this an insecure protocol?", "Could it be used to impersonate a domain?".

The only reason signed HTTP Exchanges are a thing is because Google is trying to solve a problem with user experience (the URL bar). AMP and exchanges are just a different protocol and method of hosting content on a CDN. In this case, you are forced to reduce your page size and you delegate your HTML to be loaded by a third-party, contrary to that of a traditional CDN where you would (for example) create a CNAME in your DNS.
My 2c having switched from Mac to Windows and also lamenting some of the software:

* The closest I've found to Coda on Windows is HTMLPad 2018 - though it took a while for me to discover "mappings" so I could get the in-app browser preview working. It doesn't have the polish Coda does - eg lots of icons are too tiny in HiDPI mode.

* Cyberduck is the closest I've found to Panic Transmit, but it's also blurry in HiDPI modes, and has a nasty bug where large files over 100MB uploaded to Backblaze B2 won't complete & terminate as corrupted.

* Windows start menu sort've replaces Alfred App, but it's not as easy to do things like type quick math equations (it sends them out to Bing instead of calculating locally, so it's much slower)

* I really, really miss Cathode by Secret Geometry. It costs $5 but I'd easily pay $20. If I have to use the terminal I'd like to do it in style. Cathode is a terminal app that emulates CRT displays, including flicker, jitter, static & curvature. Cool Retro Term is closest, but there's no Windows version, and certainly not without lots of hacks to try and make the Linux version work through Windows Subsystem For Linux.

(I'm sure there's others I've missed, but that's the first that leaps to mind.)
That is not the impression I get from it being prominently featured [0] on their homepage. Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: In fairness, clicking through to the Firewatch site does say "in cooperation with Panic," so it's not entirely a Panic product, but there's certainly a degree of involvement. I'm seeing other comments [1] placing those actions on the game studio, so I suppose my first impression was incorrect.

There are many who say it's already better for 2D. Unity is still more popular for 2D out of momentum, but it's not the primary focus of the engine.

Competing with Unity in the 3D arena will always be a game of catch-up because Unity throws an enormous budget at that feature.
Keep in mind that they might only get a room, but it's probably a pretty damn big room. And otherwise nice.

Not sure I'd take that tradeoff at my current age, but considering I lived in a shoebox with a shared bathroom during College for maybe 3/4 the price post-inflation, I'd have taken it in a heartbeat.
Ah, that makes sense. I've only dabbled a little with DNN's recently, but pytorh/tensorflow seemed very targeted toward deep learning. Generic tools seem more useful to me. What are you doing with fft's?

I haven't dug too deep with CudaNative / Cuarray to understand the state of Julia perf debugging. Though here's one post on the topic:

https://discourse.julialang.org/t/cudanative-is-awesome/1786...

In general It's been very pleasant experimenting with gpu programming in Julia. I couldn't quite grok tensorflow code, and it's cool to just declare a Julia array and send it the GPU.
There is a difference between the web publisher controlling that abstraction and a web publisher that has been strong armed into one abstraction or another.

Well, they might be other reasons then. You don't normally haul a poached top tier employee from a first world country to China.

My speculation is maybe their talks with Huawei were more fruitful than known to the public.
If you use a different AMP cache than Google's, does it affect your search ranking/carousel positioning with them?

If AMP is federated, that's a lot less disturbing to me than my first impression.
I think you're right, its not always easy. Apprenticeship is mostly based on the strength of a union. Mileage varies state to state

That having been said if your friend is young I'd absolutely recommend trade school. Its relatively inexpensive and based around regular adult working schedules for the most part. 2 years is always faster than just hope, but if not, definitely hold management accountable for offering that hope. Make sure its known that buffing fenders is his temporary goal and ask about the requirements for apprenticeship often, if there are any.
Yeah, MDL used the question mark suffix like Lisp used "p".
> We don't really have projects like that anymore. Contemporary structures and infrastructure are designed to be completed within the lifetime of the creator.

Most projects but not all. This is why spacex has such a big fan base because if you have seen their pictures of mars, they are not only trying to colonize it, but terraform it and even options like sending hundreds of nukes at the poles to induce warming and atmospheric buildup are expected to take hundreds of years.
I’m pretty sure it’s because the lisp that book makes isn’t an exact lisp; There are many features lacking and some fundamental concepts are wrongly implemented; However for developing C skills, it’s pretty good. Wouldn’t recommend learning Lisp with that though.
ATT had to pay $3b in cash to T-Mobile due to the failed merger as a penalty for it failing (part of the contract). That probably helped.
Well, not really, that's an actual game that uses the "Polybius" name: https://store.steampowered.com/app/906120/POLYBIUS/

It's a pretty great game though, it feels like what someone that had only ever played 80s arcade games would think VR games would be like. There's a good video here of Jeff Minter (the developer) talking through the first part of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VXsAiNdelk
Yes, that's a standard signed by the IETF. It's also an incredibly new feature (supported by AMP starting today).
And if somebody was wanting to kick a hornets nest, that’s exactly how you’d want to write it :).

My point is, you cannot just blindly trust anonymous comments to be who they say they are, it’s an easy way to get yourself in trouble.

As part of the standards setting process, Qualcomm voluntarily entered into a binding legal agreement to license those patents that are necessary to implement the standard to any competitor who wanted a license, and to license them under FRAND (Fair, Reasonsble And Non Discriminatory) terms.

Should contracts only be legally binding until you no longer like the terms you have agreed to?

It's solely the search engine boost you get from AMP that bothers me. Because of the money involved many sites have no choice but to implement AMP and stay competitive. If it weren't for that, it would just be another technology and the fact that it only works in few circumstances would probably make many sites not bother with it. The UX downsides would probably see many sites actively avoid it.

The fact that it has seen such adoption is testament to Google's ability to influence with it's rankings alone.

According to the link below, we should expect an email by 10PM PST (about 25 minutes from now). I remain optimistic that YC would at least let people know that their applications were rejected rather than just ghosting them.

https://www.ycombinator.com/apply/

edit - the deadline passed, no email. Assuming that's rejection. I highly encourage YC to at least send automated emails to applicants who were rejected in future cohorts so there's zero confusion for anyone.
Linux seems to have decent dev environment with VS Code now, maybe except for a good lightweight GUI database manager.
Mac just has the best overall quality apps because people are used to paying $10, $20 for something decent. I'll never use Windows for development for the lack of third party tool quality.
Your post is only two hours old, and there are multiple responses on other comments here explaining the connection: Intel has never caught up to Qualcomm's performance in this field; their only significant customer for their 5G modem chips is Apple; they were Intel's customer primarily because of their litigation with Qualcomm; that litigation has now ended with Apple paying Qualcomm and agreeing to use their chips.

You could have taken a few minutes to scan comments yourself and find this information. Or is not classy of me to point that out?
Looks really nice!

I prefer the look of the JSMD format to the Jupyter notebook format and hope that is something that might get integrated into JupyterHub as well.

Question: is there some documentation for deploying your own Iodide server behind a firewall? The original Iodide post mentions this is possible.
The headline is an outright lie: these AMP pages are loaded from Google and not your domain.

The new feature is that Google's browser displays your domain, obscuring the fact that Google is doing the serving. The change is what is displayed, not the server.

Intel is faaaaaaar behind on NICs. They're just now releasing an asic capable of 100G, while their competitors have had one for many years, and are now moving to 200G. I think they were hoping omnipath took off.
You're right. I've spent too much time in GitLab, where they are counted separately :). And, besides, I forgot about the PRs to fix typos and so forth.
Necessary but not sufficient:

- Services do transport encryption, authentication, and authorization even to internal callers; presence on the LAN does not confer any privileged access.

- Identity and permissions that are user-friendly enough not to encourage workarounds, sophisticated enough to implement principle of least privilege, centralized enough to keep up to speed with personnel changes (including instant lockout on termination).

- Applications are developed with an awareness of common vulnerabilities and associated defenses (i.e. OWASP top 10). Sensitive applications are vetted by security researchers for high-end vulnerabilities. Off the shelf applications and libraries are kept up to date.

- Current ground truth and complete change history for everything about production is known and documented. Something like Puppet manifests in Git comprehensively describe everything that has been done to a VM from its baseline image, every rule in a hardware firewall, etc.

- Activities are logged; logs are correlated and analyzed for suspicious activity; alerts are promptly and competently investigated; credentials found to be compromised can be easily rotated; systems found to be vulnerable can be quickly patched or isolated.

- A quorum of insiders is required for especially sensitive operations; this is not just policy or code, but backstopped by math and hardware. At the root of trust you will find things like Shamir's Secret Sharing, HSMs, signing ceremonies, etc. and not a dude with a private key on his workstation.

I'm by no means a security expert, but as far as I'm aware, this stuff will make you a harder target than most.
This request can be disregarded. I’m going to explore extending s3proxy for the same purpose (migration and backfill of disparate object storage systems through an abstraction layer).
>excellent mathematical functionality is available via the Wolfram Alpha website for free.

My experience is that they've significantly ratcheted down the amount of compute time per request in recent years. It's become much less useful to me because so many of my requests time out.

I don't know the answer to those questions, but I'd be curious to know as well.

Bing also hosts an AMP Cache if that's of interest to you.

I think Japan has some interesting ideas about this. Many of their most famous temples have been completely destroyed (either by being burnt down, struck by lightning, or leveled by earthquakes) at least once in their lifetime, but they always get rebuilt, and are no less the same temple

At least, this is implied by the signs saying 600 year old temple, when in fact the current building was built 150 years ago.

I am guessing you could type faster on those than whatever chiclet board. The advantage they have is that the plate spring pops back up, reducing the amount you need to use the extensors (it’s faster to just contract and then relax the flexors than to deliberately lift the fingers). [Unfortunately they weren’t built into too many keyboards, and some of the ones that do have them are crappy for other reasons.]

There are a bunch of relevant keyboard design factors which are not really properly considered by keyboard makers. For example:

+ The relative height of the tops of the keys (sadly most keyboards ever made have screwed this up, and it has only gotten worse over time, because most keyboard designers were just copying past designs without understanding the anatomical considerations). If the further rows (top letter row, number row, F row) are aggressively raised, the fingertips can reach them without needing to bend at the first knuckle, meaning those keys can be pressed without as much hand movement while the fingers remain in the most comfortable and fastest part of the main flexors’ range of motion. By contast the bottom row of letters should be the same height as the home row.

+ The separation, tilt, and tent of the two halves of the keyboard. Ideally the keyboard should be oriented so that the forearms and back of the hand are comfortably flat with wrists and arms in a neutral position, and key axis on each half of the keyboard should be perpendicular to the plane of the forearm/hand.

+ The placement of more keys within a close range of hand/finger motion, and the elimination of keys further away. (This gets us decidedly away from standard keyboard shape.) In particular there should be a lot more more accessible thumb keys.

+ The letter arrangement. Qwerty is optimized for the original keyboard from the 19th century. Dvorak is optimized for the shape of 1930s typewriters (where the consistent aggressive height differences mean that the close letter row is quite hard to reach but further rows are relatively easy). More recent efforts to optimize arrangement make no effort to make sure that several-key sequences on one hand can be typed in one fluid motion. In practice people who type quickly can line up several fingers on the same hand and press the keys in quick succession using one medium-scale motion, alternating between stretches on one hand and the other.
Chelsio and mellanox both have 100G with good reputations. 10G is not really something we should be comparing on anymore since it's been out over a decade.
You are. (And apparently are not alone. My conversations with poly-sci peers has trodden similar ground.)

The field is as relevant as it ever has been. IMHO, money in politics, coupled with mass media consolidation has created an environment where emphasis on models is treated like a currency of sorts. Self reinforcing, regardless of outcome.

Actually, outside observers keen on understanding this dynamic better will see outcomes that do not align with models framed as "threats to Democracy" and often conflated with other "bad elements."

From the insular point of view, in the beltway, that is a true statement.

In general, it is a "truthy" statement in the sense of control being validated by models, actions planned and executed successfully then confirmed by outcome and models, is breaking down.

(Whether that is a threat or more ordinary advancement in the body politic is a matter of ones perspective.)

That all worked, until it didn't, and it didn't about the time digital natives came of age and simply behaved differently. They are not the only ones, just an easy to point to example.

Pre-Internet and post Internet politics are fascinating!

Sorry to ramble. Yeah, you are entirely relevant. This is a matter of not being in the club, and said club panicking over what it sees as a serious and growing threat to it's base political power of legitimacy, and relevancy as more of the body politic becomes more distributed and difficult to manage.

>surely we need to accept that the impetus to seek education purely for self improvement and happiness is ever more relevant.

Absolutely. And that is increasingly possible for people to do, either through formal study to obtain a degree, or on their own terms as amateurs.

That clash is as interesting as the traditional politicking vs what I can only describe as neo-politicking, increasingly seen with rapid adoption of Internet and aging in of people native to it.
I don't write that much about making excel spreadsheets. I'd assume that when they stumbled over a rock they put it on the side of their field, arranging it to a wall. They might have just wrote down "field work" in diaries (if they had the time to write).
I think it's impossible to re-think Twitter and satisfy everyone. I completely switched who I follow (using Lists) twice already based on my interest changes in technology. First Rails, then iOS, now "crypto". I was early enough in the first two communities to know who the movers and shakers were. However it took me a while to find who is worth following in "Crypto Twitter". So I personally welcome any attempts to show me relevant content from folks I don't follow yet in the field.

In my experience Intel wifi, specifically in laptops, has been far and away the best wireless experience I've had on both Windows and Linux. I do not see how Intel's Linux support is second rate, Intel's Linux wifi team is very active and always has solid support for hardware before it is shipped.

A big frustration with Qualcomm wifi on Windows has been that they do not provide driver downloads to end users. If you are using a laptop that has been abandoned by the OEM and you have a wifi driver problem you have to hunt for the driver on sketchy 3rd party sites or just live with it. I have personally had to help several people find drivers because ancient Qualcomm drivers were causing bug checks on power state transitions.

What real-world experiences have you had with Intel wifi on Linux and Windows that make you believe it is second rate?
The browser displays the URL from the origin that digitally signed the unmodified content.

A browser already doesn't show you what server delivered the content. That would be your wifi AP, cell phone tower, or ISP node. The internet has already long established that we can trust content without trusting intermediaries.

There are two elements that are important: integrity and privacy. The content integrity is protected via a digital signature, the "signed" part of "signed http exchanges". The signature proves that the document hasn't been tampered with.

Regarding privacy: The intermediary (a search engine in this case) already has the content being delivered as a result of crawling it. It also knows the user clicked on a link to get that content, and knows the user's ip address. Even without AMP or Signed Exchanges, the privacy situation is the same. Once the page is loaded, all further interactions with the origin are normal https traffic, so later requests are not different in privacy either.

What this enables, for search results, is the ability to load the bytes of the content before the user clicks a search result. If the browser prefetched those bytes with the origin's awareness, then the user's privacy with respect to the search query would be violated, making prefetch problematic. With this setup, documents can be prefetched while preserving user privacy and after the user clicks all browser behavior continues as normal from that point forward.
I got to experiment with it on some pretty poor spec MIPS processors not long after it was made public. Even there, on architecture it wasn't designed of specifically optimised for, it seriously outperformed competitors.

DNS is the answer to the first two questions.

However the last question is a fair point - nobody complains about CloudFlare's caching of your web page as you designed it.

The critique of AMP is that it receives privileged placement in search results, and that content authors are being pressured into adopting this de-facto Google-controlled spec, where they host your content and control its presentation. Anything that furthers AMP helps Google in this effort.

Windows app GUI is a joke. After people widely used Windows for over 20 years, their cluttered interface never got any better having 10 menus, 20 buttons shown at once where many of Mac apps got that right with simpler and effective interface.

If I have the option to choose between WinSCP and Transmit, Transmit is the obvious choice. CyberDuck interface isn't as bad as those Windows only ones but not as polished.
