FTA:

The Greenland ice sheet is on land.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_ice_sheet

Most of the ice that has melted so far was probably already in the water.

The ice that is already floating in the water does not change the sea level when it melts.

> as long as objects are floating (i.e. they don't rest on the bottom) they displace enough water to support their mass [...] The water level remains the same when the ice cube melts.

This link talks about cubes of ice in a glass of water but I think it should apply to ice floating in the sea as well.
BitTorrent, Tor, Bitcoin, and the other cryptocurrencies are the results of "the P2P craze of the early 2000s". They resulted in Wikileaks, Snowden, and Trump, not to mention the current blockchain feeding frenzy. Freenet is, by comparison, somewhat less important.

I'm puzzled by your comment because in the second paragraph you provide the answer to the question your third paragraph is about. If people are paying their ISPs for bandwidth in things like dollars, what's the problem? It's true that bandwidth is more expensive when you buy it retail from ISPs rather than wholesale in data centers, but only by a factor of two or three, so this is only an issue for the most bandwidth-intensive applications, such as Netflix streaming.

Bandwidth and computation are extremely cheap now, so I don't think this is really an issue. As a point of comparison, when I started browsing the web in a graphical web browser in 1993, I was running it on a ≈100-MIPS RS/6000 with a couple of dozen other people. There were nearly a thousand web servers (in the world, not on the RS/6000), but each one could only serve about one or two hits per second, mostly on machines similar to that one. Shortly after that, my university, with a few thousand students, upgraded its shared connection to 45 megabits per second, as part of a contract to manage a supercomputer center in another state.

My cellphone runs about 10,000 MIPS, and would have no trouble handling 5000 hits per second; this is more than the entire WWW at the time and well into 1994. Most homes in rich countries have more individual bandwidth than I was sharing with hundreds of other active users at the time.

We don't have a shortage of bandwidth or computation. We have a shortage of community, a shortage of innovation, a shortage of cooperation, a shortage of imagination, and a shortage of freedom. But bandwidth and computation are abundant in a way that was unimaginable in the days when we built the WWW.

Those past events were over a decade ago. Somehow, apple managed to be ok with signing NVIDIA’s drivers until now.

In general having your PC platform provider refuse to sign drivers because they have a grudge from a decade ago is concerning - what’s the next important tool they might pick a fight with and ban? Imagine if Microsoft refused to sign NVIDIA or ATI’s drivers because they had some dispute over a part in the MS Surface product line?
Having a site on a domain you own is critical as an anchor, if you only list on third party sites and for whatever reason they take your listing down your business evaporates overnight.
Agree with open borders part. At the same time you can't keep moving to new territories forever. Sooner or later you'll fall off the edge of the Earth.
Exactly. Unfortunately windows admin rights are not very granular so if you do anything serious you end up needing full admin soon.
I've been happy with pCloud which has Win/Linux/Mac/Android/iOS clients.
Ok, that's fair. I was being a little hyperbolic with "it doesn't have any human characteristics yet", which is obviously untrue.

I think the point still stands that at some point you draw an arbitrary line of when mere potential for human life becomes human life, and I wouldn't draw that line early on in the embryo stage.
There are a couple of recent posts / discussions on HN regarding the topic: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=password%20manager&sort=byPopu...
It has to do with how they use xattrs to manage the syncing. They now only support a single FS on each OS. You could certainly argue that other filesystems have the necessary capabilities, but Dropbox decided to only support ext4. It’s probably the dominant filesystem for Linux, but in a community as diverse as Linux, that means leaving out a lot of other potential customers.

You can just crunch your data with SQL/service layer code in a background worker and store it in redis. Then you can use the objects from redis to render charts, build dashboards, etc...

Structure your code so you crunch your historical data once, store in redis, and then new data gets shoved in the redis cache as your time dimensions on your metrics progress based on business logic.

Until your data is at enterprise volume, you really don't need an OLAP system.

But these days I don't know.

Everyone says they follow agile, or agile methodology, but it can mean everything from actually following the https://agilemanifesto.org/ and letting the engineers determine their own working practices, to extremely prescriptive process like Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP). Personally I'd be wary about any overly prescriptive processes like scrum, which tend to treat grown adults like children and is often little more than thinly disguised micro-management.
I don't know if anyone is researching this, but couldn't we manufacture stupidly large floating reflective tarps and start deploying them anywhere sea ice is melting? Seems like this would be a high benefit for relatively low cost.

As long as Bitcoin exists you can do merged mining with Namecoin. This means there is literally zero additional cost and impact on the environment for mining.

If the very unlikely case occurs and bitcoin stops being a thing there is always the possibility to change the POW algorithm. Until then Namecoin is a solution that works ultra reliably since years and most importantly unlike other solutions it works today.
pCloud works well for me (support for all major platforms). Google drive has no Linux support which is a deal killer for me.

That doesn't necessarily work if you're doing the operation in a loop, unless the compiler also unrolls the loop to some degree (which isn't a zero-instruction change). It also only applies to local variables, and doesn't apply when swapping global or in-memory data.

I've rarely encountered a "swap" operation on local variables in straight-line code, as opposed to a loop, or a swap of global/in-memory values.
>you can demand photos/videos taken of you without your consent to be deleted. //

Can you name maybe five large countries where that's true? It's not true in USA, nor UK AFAIK. I understand it's not true in Germany either.

So, I only know contradictions, interested to hear. China and Russia, don't seem likely to have such laws - maybe they're common in South America, Africa?
While I applaud this kind of effort, it seems like it will have little effect in the end. Companies will just violate it anyway and get a small fine. Or they will just get the law replaced when the makeup of the government changes.

It seems like we have two issues: politicians who don't really understand the technical ramifications around the laws and issues; and politicians who don't really care and just want their funding. It feels like the only way to make them both really get it is to use some form of hacktivism. Would we like a law to prevent robocalling? Then use our technological expertise to robocall all numbers related to these officials non-stop and have the message be "Pass a law to stop robo-calling". Worried about ISPs selling your data? Then use our technological expertise to buy this data from the ISPs and correlate the data and make public all the details of the data about these politicians and those related. Maybe this is nonsense but it seems like the only way to make it real for them.
Consider the emission and noise "litter" cars generate too, I would much rather see a few scooters lying around the place than breathe in diesel fumes everday. Really it's just a temporary issue, a bump in the road to emission-free cities.

How to write a game engine in pure C: Part 3 – The Engine Entity
Very impressive, I was thinking at first that you used deep learning. According to the website, you discarded this approach because of the lack of interpretability in deep learning.

Although it seems to me that high dimensional data, while not being black box, are very hard to interpret as well. Could you give an illustration of the interpretation process you are using?

I am also curious about the construction of your training dataset. Did you used some existing pre-labelled reference data or did you build it by hand?

Thanks

I'd guess it's this one:

> KeePassXC also cannot prevent data extraction from a hibernation file which stores your computer's memory to disk when going to sleep.

KeePass uses DPAPI so password-storage memory is not written to swap (and I guess hibernatefile) in cleartext. Note that this doesn't protect against reading the memory directly[0].

Though (on unices) it doesn't mention mlock(2) either.

The Population Bomb by Paul Elrich back in 1968 predicted worldwide famine in the 70s and 80s because of overpopulation. There's been quite a few over the last few decades relating to overpopulation, environmental destruction and running out of vital resources to keep civilization going. So far, these dire predictions have not come true. Which doesn't men they can't, but they should give us some pause about predicting the collapse of civilization or the environment, particularly in the short run.
I don't think it is just the valency but also that the strength of the bonds it forms with many other elements fall into a 'goldilocks' range.

Between them, carbon and water have a bunch of unique properties. AFAIK, its hard to come up with any other suite of materials offering the same prospects for complexity, at any temperature.
It is, but the 2.4 release introduced integrated updates. I was still on 2.3 and wasn't aware of this, or that my KeePass was out of date until I saw this this morning. So I am thankful for the heads up. :)
That gif on the blog made me physically ill.
It's the SFMTA's fault. They were way too conservative with ebikes launches. Signed an exclusively contract with a company that couldn't deliver. They shut down most of the scooter shares. And Jump bikes (the best option in my opinion) hasn't been allowed to expand so they're nearly impossible to find. You can look on a map many evenings and not find a single Jump bike in SOMA.

End result, people going back to Uber/Lyft to get around. Shocking that traffic in SF is as bad as it's ever been.
that sites UI is so bad, seems like low hanging fruit for some React frontend wizard to redo and make the defacto site to go to for climate / flooding visualizations
AFAIK the only thing it protects you from is generic malware that scans process memory for passwords. It’s trivial to bypass though: all you need to do is patch the code as it’s running to dump all the plaintext entries for you.

> there are 1000 other possible exploits that are cheaper / easier to perform (ie. keylog, screen capture, etc).

Keepass has mitigations for those as well.
I have little trust in forensically invented snapshots over concrete measurements, as well.

I reckon OP dislikes the need to have the whole Mono runtime to run one small-ish application. At least that's the reason I always preferred the native ports.

People are wrongly convicted. The system pursues, arrests, and punishes certain groups of people more than others. It's easy to be casual with other people's lives.
> The problem with predictions like this is that this prediction will look silly in 4 years when the Earth has not ended, similar to how wild predictions in the past have not borne fruit.

Please don't misrepresent claims that "we have X years to stop global warming before it becomes irreversible" as "the earth will be uninhabitable in X years."
Rhode Island is cheap compared with Mass. Its pretty much just the Boston are that has an absurdly high cost of living at this point (Ignoring the New York parts of Connecticut)
2.5C global increase is huge. It's a chaotic system, with a crazy number of interconnected feedback loops. Think of the earth's climate like a boulder balanced on a hill.

Aside from just counter-arguing your point which is easily brushed off, I want to ask a genuine question -
What about this dialogue makes you skeptical? What's your view of what's really going on? Politically or otherwise.

A. Cannot be shut off, and

B. Upgrades my Dropbox client whether I want it to or not. Even with Google's very determined auto-upgrader, I finally figured out how to shut it off. Not Dropbox.

Here we go again. Every constant-growth oriented company with happy customers eventually decides to go to war with said customers as a last-ditch effort to extract more revenue, and thus forces them to its competition.
With all due respect, I strongly doubt anybody would be seriously impacted by that aquifer outside of North America.

This said, anything that turns Americans angrier is a security risk for the rest of the world.

KeePass is the original project. It is an open source dotnet application. The source code, as of the last time I checked, is released as a tar/zip with the binaries only.

KeePassX is an open source c++ application. It was one of the cross platform applications to manage KeePass databases. It has not been under very active development for a while.

KeePassXC is a fork of KeePassX which is under active developement. They have added many features and improvements and has stayed up to date with kdbx updates.

The article doesn't talk about the US or Assange at all. Why are you even bringing it up?
yes. They don’t have a resume at all in fact.
And fucking weather patterns even more.
It depends on what your “world” is. If I’m being hired to write yet another software as a service CRUD app, then algorithm questions aren’t the “real world”. But, when I was being hired to do low level cross platform C without any third party libraries that we didn’t write ourselves or to maintain a compiler - algorithm type questions were appropriate.

In fact, we were writing custom document creation software and outputting to industrial printers at the first job where we were doing a lot of text processing.
Google Just Killed One of Crypto’s Biggest News Sites
Who said it was worse? What matters is that it is wrong.
At 7 meters, much of Florida is gone.

Regardless, global warming will impact poorer (and tropical) countries disproportionately. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I know it is a pretty good place to be as it warms up. Bangladesh, less so.

You can't expect Bangladesh to lead the decarbonation of industrial production - but the US can, and there are good arguments that it will yield an increase in wealth and standards of living.
Who Writes Product Descriptions?
That makes more sense to me. It’s not like these waste canisters are going to somehow float to the surface. The biggest problem would have to be sealing the entrance and descending tunnels in such a way to keep the site hidden. Is that possible? If you could do that then the only danger would be a sufficiently advanced culture for some reason trying to drill or dig in that area. And why would they do that if the geology of the area isn’t one which would lead them to expect minerals. Fast forward any further and they’re only going to discover it with some kind of ground penetrating radar which indicates a pretty sophisticated society.
Source for India being most populous?

All sources I can find say that population of China is bigger than India.
I've done a fair amount of playing around with CP/M, and really enjoy it for providing all of the close-to-the-metal fun of microcontroller programming while being self-hosting with real development tools. Are you familiar with CP/NET at all? It was basically a 'server' that ran on an MPM/II machine (usually) and a number of CP/M or CP/NOS (diskless!) clients that could talk to it and share disk drives and such.

With the availability of large/cheap FPGAs, I've been thinking it would be fun to build a multi-core Z80 system with 1 CPU running a 'kernel' and multi-tasking provided by running CP/NOS clients on the other CPUs - Imagine a multi-tasking OS where each program gets a dedicated CPU instead of having to timeslice!
Cool work! If you're allowing more biological cognitive neuroscience, I'd also consider adding:

>- Accumulation of a lot of UI clutter over the years. When you used to log in, you just your files. Now you get suggestions, unread comments, or whatever.

I contacted support a few weeks ago because I couldn't find the file(s) I was looking for. They keep changing the UI. They told me to use the search feature. That feature is lacking and it doesn't help that I don't know the filename since it was an uploaded photo from my phone. I left them feedback that the UX sucks and that they need to stop changing things for changing sake. Things are/have gotten worse regarding their UX. I think their devs are thinking and selling themselves on their ideas of what improvements are rather than current customers. If they want to try new things, leave the existing product alone and a launch an entirely new(er) product like DHH and basecamp do without disrupting their own existing paying customers![1]. Don't upset happy customers and give them a reason to re-evaluate your offering and other options.

I have a WiFi router hidden so we can do some specific network testing. We also have a consumer DSL line so we can test on a network where IT doesn’t block random stuff. It’s not even much of a secret. Everybody local knows this stuff and every six months a guy at IT headquarters throws a fit, doesn’t provide an alternative and gets ignored. I have thought about sending them recordings of previous meetings so we don’t have to repeat the series of same meetings every six to twelve months.

I switched from Lastpass to Bitwarden about a year ago as well. I have no complaints except for a few minor UX annoyances in the firefox add-on.
So they created a SPA which takes 6MB to 7MB and 220+ requests to list files in a directory?! That's a whole lot of engineering. In fact, they seem to have recreated Google Drive. SharePoint online is also the same - very long time to load.

The "tall letters" on the post title kind of did me in there. I don't know what they were thinking.

Do they even need to be classified as utilities? It seems like there should just be some rules that they have to follow if they use public right of ways for wires. A utility brings with it other baggage that might not be applicable to an ISP.
It doesn't matter how easy the task is. People are nervous about being in a job interview.

Also, who inverts binary trees on the job?

I've had good success with (like you) asking to be walked through some architecture. I also ask them to review a one-page program and then code-review two commits to it.

Finally, I give them a take-home (paid) assignment.

It's as close to testing how they really work as I can get without contract-to-hire (which I also support).
Cities spend a lot of money trying to improve public transportation and reduce traffic. Dockless bikes and scooters can help alleviate those issues. So I can understand why a city might decide to take a hands off approach (at least initially) to let these programs get off the ground and prove out the concept.
