Me too. When I get a new system, the first thing I do is map CapsLock to Escape.

On Windows, I use the Uncap [ https://github.com/susam/uncap
] tool because it does not require install or restart. The tool has good documentation to map CapsLock to Escape for Linux and MacOS too.

On the flip side, I struggle to use Vim when I need to do so someone else's computer. :-D
A password manager provides the exact same benefits as the website hashing the users password client side with a salt - before sending the password as per usual (over SSL and then hashing the hashed password server side also).

Why is this not done?
> In other words, it is a very specific and well-defined process. This does not sound agile and it also does not sound Agile (remember: “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools”)

This is a many times debunked myth about the Agile manifesto. Even the authors themselves explained that "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" does not mean and shouldn't be taken as "no processes".

Also, agile is not about moving quickly but about being able to easily change direction any time, therefore dealing better with changing environment.
Huawei executives make management decisions at Huawei, not the CCP. I presume that what you're referencing is the existence of a CCP group at Huawei. As I understand it, all Chinese companies above a certain number of employees have a party section. That doesn't mean that the CCP controls those companies, any more than having a union means the AFL-CIO controls an American company. Huawei is subject to the same sort of potential government pressure, however, that American companies might face. If the US government sends a national security letter, American companies have to quietly comply.
This is pretty neat work, I was considering using it to help work around the problems of anisotropically scaled SDF font rendering. (Trick: do the anisotropic scaling and add the Jacobian correction factor per color channel before combining with the median. This will avoid some subset of the artifacts you get when trying to anisotropically scale SDFs and subsequently use them for antialiasing and stroke rendering.)

If you're going to use this library, note that the maintenance situation is complicated. Some forks seem well ahead in terms of bug fixes, for example https://github.com/RCrockford/msdfgen

I think Netscape was a clean rewrite of the source code of NCSA Mosaic, but with the benefit of past experience and being able to look at the code. Not illegal, but still somewhat dodgy, and understandable that people who worked on the NCSA version might get mad. I remember hearing that Andreesen was none too popular at UIUC after founding Netscape, and the lawsuit over the trademark; there's a source for that here:

Agreed you could get locked out for the day, but that's a bit different than "throw yourself at the mercy of mythical Google Support and pray".

Splitting hairs here though. Great work and great write up.
"Required" fields that are no longer required, and "optional" fields that are no longer optional are basically 6 of one and half a dozen of another.

I'm personally strongly in the "required" camp because at least the interface makes an attempt at giving clues to a user as to what fields are important. If everything is optional, there's no information being passed as to what is important anymore.
Where does the US have jurisdiction? This is a legitimate question. What legal right does the US government have to enforce US laws on a foreigner who isn't in the US, for actions taken outside the US and which were not illegal in the country the person resides in? I'd legitimately like to know what sort of legal argument is used to justify this, because it sounds like a massive overreach by the United States. Regardless, arresting the CFO of a major corporation - the daughter of the CEO - in such a manner is an extremely aggressive act.

while I agree with your position to a point, does the same apply if you're acting from a position of privilege rather than one of denial?

I.e. you have a high income highly educated tech savvy population in your immediate vicinity and you primarily mix with other highly educated high income people physically day to day in your immediate surrounds.

while I agree that it is detrimental for society and problematic for these bubbles to be forming, I'm not immediately seeing the disservice to the child from a locally optimal point of view in denying them media consumption and social networking, if you assume that 'a digitally connected world' is essentially marketing speak to get lower class and less educated people to normalize media consumption and social networking.

By all means I agree a child needs access to, and ideally to understand programming and computers, but I'm not convinced participation in those other activities are necessary from a locally optimal social perspective except to work in the interests of those who control those mediums and want people to participate in them.

obviously?, if you're at a vanilla middle class school and everyone is watching marvel comics, consuming Disney, and sharing their lives on Facebook, and your kids is the only one that isn't, they're going to have a bad time. And I'm not saying I'm a member of that higher class (far from it, although I don't yet take it as a given that I live in a community that doesn't primarily deal face to face, or that my neighbors aren't for the most part highly educated). indeed, I would say this attitude that adtech and media consumption and large scale social networking is harmful isn't a strange position to take amongst those with experience with those things. Like junk food and trash television, sometimes the ability to exclude is a privilege, not a cost...
You need stress to grow.

Burnout happens when stress isn't followed by rest. When stress feels endless. And when stress feels like it's pointless.

The solution therefore is to make sure you always know why you're working so hard, build in reward for your hard work, and take a break after a specific period of stress.

Always have the end in sight. Always know your goal. Always make sure you feel progress toward the goal.

Crucially, when the specified period of stress comes, take a fucking break. Whether you're done or not. Very important.

I myself often fail to follow these lessons. So I write them here to help me remember :)

Based on the information in the article, the following items would have been required to stage something like this:

- Foreknowledge of the bombing by the Syrian/Russian coalition, including time and place.

- A high probability that there would be many people suffering from hypoxia following the bombing.

- False canisters ready to be deployed to the area.

While not wholly impossible, it does seem unlikely to me, and as such I believe that the headline is a bit of a stretch.

I think it would be more accurate to focus on OPCW and they way it compiles and presents it's findings.

Which is really important. Right now it seems to me like we classify many different things with vaguely similar symptoms as burnout.
I plan to do something similar to this for a mobile code editor. If it came out the way I was imagining it'd be very convenient and intuitive. It could create detailed patterns in code from a description. Know your naming patterns. Be aware of functions/classes/variables available and included in the project. I figured I'd have to put together some really great ML models to pull it off the way I want.

So my plan was the first start with something using computer vision. So writing draft code and taking a picture of it having it insert into and editor. I figured I could have something really useful that I'd use early on versus working with voice.

I've got so many intermediary things before I can even start on that. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's heading in that direction.
Mostly likely, that person won't be picked for jury then. That being said, when I served on a jury for a lawsuit earlier this year, we were informed about whether we were selected outside of the room where the remaining potential jurors were still sitting, meaning the people still in the room had no idea which of us were picked, since from their perspective, we would leave either way. Interestingly, there also wasn't a judge present for this selection, only the lawyers; apparently in my jurisdiction (New York City), judges are only present for the selection of jurors for criminal trials, not civil.
I don't know about Russia or Japan. For China, there are clusters around key universities and their satellites, and spin-offs from those satellites either directly/partially owned or from alumni.

But it's haphazard. Most universities are incapable or unwilling of even running an email service and all emails go through QQ. That's not 'QQ for Domains' but just personal QQ numbers.

Great writeup Maciej. I do have some questions:

(1) Is there an easier secure way to open attachments to Emails? This is a critical point of error in campaigns, and yet your suggested solutions are lacking in my eyes. I for one do not use a smart phone, and even when I use a Gmail account I use the html version that does not have a Google Docs option for files. So I am left with your option 3, and this could take several minutes in contrast to double clicking the file.

(2) Why do you recommend to avoid SMS but to treat Twitter/Slack as a public messaging option? Why not just treat all three as public?

(3) Why do you recommend only Chrome browser? In particular, why not Firefox or Tor?

I don't think this will work. Excuse my nonsense logic but the swastika works well as a symbol of hate (despite having other origins and meanings) in that it has a single center with coherent angular spirals, the center signifying the ego and the spirals signifying logic and order complying with it... or something.

The hashtag has an empty center and four equal points that sort of radiate in multiple directions... seems more oligopolistic and ambivalent than totalitarian and opinionated.

Free public bathrooms everywhere was nice, but there was still a dearth of free public water fountains -- which, admittedly, most cities don't have enough of. Rome is kind of the gold standard in this regard.

I loved how some of the vending machines and convenience stores sold hot canned drinks. I've never seen that anywhere in the US. Now the hot canned coffee wasn't actually good (I had to try it), but it was interesting to have that as an option. There were also plenty of vending machines that would make coffee for you (which I didn't use because I opted for free coffee in the hotel in the morning and cold green tea thereafter, which I must say was delicious).
I feel like this product was designed to generate outrage and thereby provide free advertising.
Salmon is a whitefish. The pink/red color of their (wild caught) flesh is due to their diet at sea. Specifically, shrimp eat algae which has a pigment that gives their shells and flesh a pinkish color and Salmon eat shrimp.
ADHD is highly comorbid with autism. In some cases, an ADHD diagnosis may in fact be autistic symptoms that the diagnosing clinician failed to recognize as autism.
I find it fascinating that at the time, a holistic diet-based solution was considered flakey and rooted in ignorant traditions.

And yet here we are almost 200 years later and many common illnesses are still closely related to diet, and many still feel as though treatment through diet is flakey or inferior to modern drugs or surgery.

It turns out one of the best things we can do for ourselves is eat well and strive to prevent disease before it occurs. If I recall correctly, this is a core tenant of many traditional medicines including traditional Chinese medicine.

I'm not saying we should all start practicing traditional medicine. I just find it fascinating that we have and still often discount traditional knowledge, even after it's been virtually proven for milennia. It's like we throw out the baby with the bathwater.

I hope modern science can find more concrete conclusions around health and diet such that more people might have faith in food as a preventative medicine. To many of us it seems obvious, but to much of the world I suspect it isn't... Just like it wasn't in the Japanese Navy.
Ask HN: Memory and CPU Use: Headless Chrome(driver) vs. Regular Chrome?
I have seen a dozen comparisons between the various headless browsers, but for the life of me I can't find a single one showing just how much better headless Chrome is than regular Chrome.

Has anyone tested this? I'll take you at your word.
The iOS password manager also works in properly designed apps as well.

Websites and apps must test themselves with the popular password managers and ensure it is a smooth experience — otherwise they are being security hostile.

The other dumb thing is forcing there to be a password for an account. If I reset my password via an email reset, just let me click on a link to login into the app (ensure things like deep linking into apps work). A one time token is way better than any password. Let me go through that flow on multiple devices without resetting the first device. Send me an email every time a new device receives a sign in.

If email is weakest link (password reset) don’t make me even less secure by requiring me to dream up another password. Now there are two vectors to crack me.

The area was under attack so it was being regularly shelled - not hard to predict.

Survivors do often have breathing problems after being in or near buildings that are bombed. The air is full of dust.

And of course, since the terrorists in Syria want(ed) the US to bomb the government, they could easily have planted the canisters.
Thanks for clarifying. I read the article. I’m excited to see benchmarks.
It's obvious greed. There is no need to violate people's privacy for the ISP. Which you yourself point out. They don't do it out of need, but because they can.
No, it’s not possible to statically validate that addresses are within linear memory. WebAssembly implementations do runtime memory access checks (either with explicit if checks before some loads and stores or with virtual memory configuration).

Check out the infant mortality rates for milennia.

I agree prevention is better than cure. That is why I and my family are up to date on all our vaccines.

Meanwhile a holistic diet will do nothing to prevent most infectious diseases. The reason we have the luxury to entertain wellness bloggers, traditional medicine and faith healers is that we discovered antibiotics and vaccines.

Traditional medicines that work get incorporated into modern medicine. For example if you have a dietary deficiency you will be given supplements and told to eat better. If you have a headache you may take a compound first derived from Willow bark.

Modern medicine has even resulted in flour being fortified with vitamin B1 preventing the disease the article refers too!

Even modern understanding of healthy eating is derived from modern medicine not traditional 'healing'...

Are any quotes considered "scare" quotes these days? I used quotes because the philosophy is often referred to as such, but it generally gains legs only when it can be used to undermine market competition.

I describe myself as libertarian, and if you want to make the argument that regulation will be transmuted by the incumbents to calcify their own positions, I'm right there with you. But it's wholly disingenuous to assert that services could only be obtusely constrained to the lowest common denominator, rather than considering a sensible system of interoperability that would align incentives properly. Putting it in libertarian terms - instituting a demarcation point such that users' electronic data and identities actually belong to the users.

Personally I think the real answer is that we need to self actualize and move away from these surveillance companies, period. And in that context yes it is a worry that regulations could be applied to harass down Free software. But given that we're staring down a much worse censorship regime, from both de jure and de facto governments (eg payment processors), I think we're likely to end up needing to avoid packet censorship anyway. A few additional business-consumer regulations aren't going to appreciably worsen that burden.

Even for HN, these are some of the most empathy-deficient comments that I've ever read.

Yes, it's true that there is a huge problem with overwork for the franchisees.

But those stores aren't there (just) for you.

Imagine this scenario: you're over 80, living on your own and not very mobile.

The fact that there's a 7-eleven within 100 metres that sells a large variety of foodstuffs and essential items in single portion sizes allows one to maintain one's independence, which is a godsend. Try that in LA!

Japan values social-cohesion. Many of us who live here long term do too.

Edit: admit there's a problem for the franchisees.
