I have my parents and siblings on my iCloud family with 1tb and we have yet to use 60% of the total space. This is with backups turned on and photos as well. I think it is worth the money.
Yes, you can do it from an unprivileged user account, potentially allowing you to read some data from a privileged user or OS process.
That's utterly irrelevant to my point, but thanks for playing.
A small video production company I worked for used LTO tape for archiving footage, so it's not just big enterprise.
YNAB | Full Stack Developer | Remote | Full Time

We build “You Need a Budget” the best budgeting software around. (But people in the know call us YNAB, which is pronounced “why-nab”). For more than a decade, people have been buying YNAB and then telling their friends what a difference it has made in their lives. Google us, or read some of our reviews on the app store, and you’ll see what we mean. We love building something that has a huge positive impact on people’s lives.

You’re a Full Stack developer with at least 5 years of experience shipping, monitoring, and maintaining SaaS apps at scale (not just websites). You’re an expert in at least one modern server-side framework (Rails, ASP.NET, Express, Django, etc).

You’re not necessarily the “Ops” person where you work, but you certainly understand the infrastructure well enough to aid in architecting and maintaining scalable solutions. We host on Heroku, so experience there is a bonus, but experience with AWS or other popular IAAS/PAAS is just fine.

Some client-side experience is required as well, meaning you know enough HTML/CSS/some-client-side-framework to get stuff on the screen matching a designer’s spec. We work in small, cross-functional teams where you will likely find yourself responsible for implementation on both the back-end (Rails and Postgres), as well as the front-end (using Ember or Vue and written in TypeScript).

You’ll help vet and improve our server-side layer, implement new features, integrate with third party API’s, and shepherd our application.

"if your house burns down with everything in it, you'd have to call somebody" seems like a fairly ridiculous concern.
Not really the point of the article, but 11M/year is a lot of AWS spend - I'd like to know how HMRC is spending 11M/year on AWS?

I wonder if theyd have to comply with a Freedom of Information request...
Why? As a power user I'm going to just about:config all the cuteness away, so why would I care what veneer of the week they come up with? However, for my family members who have to turn on a computer to check their email because they rarely even use one, that friendly palette and cuteness is exactly what you need to go "see? it's not all work work business boring nerd stuff".

If you're a power user, you have no opinion on this new set of icons: they're irrelevant, you're never going to see them, or use them.
Colony: A Platform for Open Organizations
1 in 6 Americans take some kind of 'anti depressant'. [1]

That's enough to talk about Soma.

11% of children have ADHD [2]

We give them ritalin, which is meth.

Obviously not all of them, but quite a lot.

So 25% right there on anti-depressants, possibly ritalin.
This doesn't factor in all the other legal and illegal drugs.

The Soma prediction is not unreasonable at all.

Also, 'the rich' in America generally do have the burden of responsibility. Wall Street lawyer earning $800K is not an easy field trip.

Not just Doctor Who; it was regular practice at the BBC to tape over old broadcasts. Also reminds me how there's no audio of de Gaulle's Appeal of 18 June.
In the US, the urban/rural distinction isn't enough. It's more like NYC or SF/everywhere else. I'm in a very large city (Dallas), and my choices for commuting back and forth to work include busses and ride-sharing. Taking a bus means literally hours per day, and it would cost me more to take Lyft every day than it currently costs me to maintain my car, and I live extremely close to my office by Dallas standards (3.2 miles, 5.15 km).

It's possible the math would change if I both lived and worked within walking distance of a light-rail stop, but only a small percentage of residences or offices fall into that category, and neither my home nor my office are included.

It probably also helps that my car is paid for, so my monthly costs are only: insurance, fuel, 1/12th of my inspection and registration fees, and a few oil changes per year. Over a long enough time frame, I'd have to include whatever it will cost me to replace this car someday, but eventually the VC money underwriting Lyft is going to run out, so I'll take my chances.
Been there. Other dev on my team INSISTED on limiting to 80 char lines in a codebase with many long strings. It just wasn't appropriate.
I believe that the range and depth of surveillance are pretty much equal in both the East and the West, and the difference is entirely in the respective societies' willingness to acknowledge that they're being surveilled.
I thought the same but they apparently mean only a human-powered ornithopter, which I believe is still an open problem. And for good reason.
I wish workspaces had shortcuts like alt-tab and superkey-<number> only look at your current workspace.

If I'm on workspace 2, and my superkey-1 corresponds to an application that is only open on workspace 1, i don't want to switch to workspace 1, i want to open a new window of the application in workspace 2.

Similarly, if I'm in workspace 2, I don't want alt tab to show me applications open in workspace 1.

To me, these behaviors make workspaces inadequate for context switching.
Public data is a vital component of a democracy.
There was also a weak transistor on some Sandy Bridge chips in the SATA controller. But these failures are really quite rare.
Not a book, but I'd put The Matrix in the same category. Whether it was through propaganda, newspeak, or the alteration of 'history,' 1984 was at its heart about the ease with which a group can alter one's perception of reality... even down to things like 2+2=5. What better cinematic demonstration of this than The Matrix?
They are often rendered once and served until the underlying content changes or some kind of TTL expires.
Even if there were no free alternatives to Oracle's JDK (there are plenty), who looks at the cost of engineering time, opportunity costs, and thinks "yeah, this is way cheaper than paying Oracle"?
Very cool and scary, but in reality actually exploiting this without a cooperative target, and a relatively quiet machine is quite unlikely. Does not mean it shouldn't be looked at, but do not lose sleep over it.
It may not have been a tank but I have a photo of someone who was clearly crushed by something that definitely wasn't a students bicycle let's say
I love the concept of this. There's no better way to put Facebook's policy to the test than to turn it against them.
You probably need to explicitly ban publishing in publications with publishing fees, otherwise money from other sources will be used to pad out the difference.
I see these two points made often yet I've never seen a comprehensive meta analysis that shows how true any of it is. Yes as you linked ppl will often give an article that supports that these things happen, but relative quantity is important. Otherwise this is just empty rhetoric, and environmentalism doesn't need any more of that.

Regardless of the wider debate, it's very sad to learn that Shoucheng Zhang decided to take his own life. He was the only VC I've ever had a legitimate, deep technical discussion with, and I respected him as a scientist.

That's not their argument. Please read the last bit of the sentence again.
Besides from being able to fiddle with the multitrack myself at home, whenever I have studio sessions for my band I always ask for the stems. I remember a couple years ago while starting work on an EP at a local studio, the guy just deleted some band's sessions to make space for ours.

He didn't want to give me the stems, but we never released that EP anyway. When/if we get to re-record it, I'll be sure that is clear from the start.

Don't know if I'd have this luxury at bigger studios, but I'm starting to record my own material anyway. Home recording and software gear are incredibly powerful tools.
I'd be interested to see gravity field data from space covering the area.
This is one of the best technical articles I've ever read, thanks.

It wasn't clear to me what "organize the likely path instead as untaken" means.
Sort of. The social context has changed completely, though. In WWI war was still considered a glorious adventure for which the elites were particularly suited. New technologies like the machine gun, tanks, and poison gas would make sure any conflict would be quickly resolved. Given the glorification of conflict and woefully inadequate knowledge of how much risks had increased going to war seemed to many Europeans at the time like the most obvious and glorious choice.

Then came the horror of it all and Europe's upper classes had their youngest and brightest massacred and values changed. Warriors were now ordinary suckers and the elites kept themselves above the churn. War became a business of calculated leverage. It on that massive change in context that we changed together to deciding that war is not always such a good idea.

Then on top of that conflicts like those Vietnam and Afghanistan merely emphasize the baseness and poor value return of armed conflict. What was a sure thing before WWI was a daring bet in the nuclear age an nukes were only one factor involved in that calculation.
There are indeed trackers trying to fill the void.
it matters because if the hardware is difficult and expensive to obtain, an attack can be costly, and hence, won't affect the common man. Industrial espionage or state level espionage hardly changes for the common man, and since most of the hardware in use is by the common man, it's unlikely to get a real fix.
I'm not super price sensitive though; I'm specifically interested in features that make managing multiple photo streams not be ridiculous.
Are you suggesting smuggling in LTO-8 tapes?
I just asked this question elsewhere in the thread. It seems that a lot of people just blindly believe it because it sounds good. But as you say between Asia and Africa we have over half the world's population. They're pretty far back in industrialization and they're bound to pollute way worse per person (divided by wealth on some way I'm sure).

Frankly I'm sick of people using environmentalism as their soap box like this. It doesn't make anything better to ignore reality because they want to condescend to the US and Canada and Europe. It's actively making it worse.
It kind of makes sense for all the fundamental hardware vulnerabilities.

For most software vulnerabilities, the main takeaway message for the layperson is "yesterday's release of TheThing fixes some bad stuff. Don't use old versions, update to the new release" and the details matter only for the specialists.

For attacks like Rowhammer or Meltdown or Spectre or this one, however, there's lots of information that's still going to be relevant years after the publication - many people will have vulnerable hardware that will stay vulnerable, and you can still buy vulnerable hardware and so need to evaluate if your situation requires specific hardware choices to avoid these vulnerabilities, etc. So a long-term informative website is pretty much necessary.
So a badge seems a bit like a capability. Clever; I like it.
"job" doesn't refer to static typing but the project you are working on.

- script of 2,000 LOC to clean data => dynamic typing is fine => Python

- web service of 1,000,000 LOC => static typing seems a better choice => Rust, Go, Kotlin, Scala, Swift, C#, Java…
Definitely another option under consideration. It just creates one more giant thing to have to export if I ever divorce from Google.
Lyft Takes over Ford GoBike
Yes, it emits CO2, but is that really a problem? If they didn't burn plastic to produce heat and electricity, they'd likely be burning fossil fuel, which is going to emit probably about the same amount of CO2. Is trash burning really offsetting the use of non-carbon energy sources?
Show HN: Thisemotiondoesnotexist – The Link Between Faces and Emotions
Wow, Chase is acting like they are a gym or something by requiring a snail-mail letter to opt-out.
Unfortunately the mozilla website is run by Marketing people nowadays. There are many competent engineers at mozilla who probably don't believe in this nonsense marketing mumbling, but they no longer have a word to say about how the product is communicated.

Guess this kind of cognitive dissonance happens when a company rises from $160 to $560 million in yearly revenue within 5 years, without having to report to anyone outside the company.

Now that the writing is on the wall for ad-tech revenue they aggressively try to shift the narrative about themselves, because the last thing they want is to be associated with the "evil google". Unfortunately, as long as they take more than a million dollars every day from them, these things are just lip service with not value.

I miss the old mozilla because it was such a great grass-roots movement but they should have never accepted the money from google.
This is configurable, like Thumbs.db in Windows.
I like it but is access restriction really a problem? In my years of C++ programming it always seemed to be a theoretical problem more than something that leads to crashes.
Thanks for the link. I hadn't heard of Sunstein before. I hadn't realized this was openly talked about by people in his station.
The answer is simple: Decide to leave the fantasy of flat organizations behind.

Really.

Flat organizations might work for a yet-to-be-discovered species. They do not work for humans. We can’t even have a picnic without leadership.
Everyone needs a job, I suppose.
I had never seen this before, I cannot think of another way to do this. I suspect it has 1 byte overhead (on the stack) cost, but that's pretty cheap and may be optimized out.

>"Hacking my Mother's Phone"

I agree with your definition of hacking but the explicit goal was to get into their mother's phone, which they didn't. Ultimately they achieved their goal, yes, but via a different method than the one they originally attempted.
I'd guess it's more architectural concern than runtime. Making sure only code that is supposed to uses a semi-private interface so people don't build dependencies that aren't wanted.
Python library for 1990s AT&T Attendant Console
I'm more curious about the Conservatives' response to this, actually, as talking about waste has been one of their favourite diversion tactics whenever the environment (read: climate change) comes up. Will they vote for this?
If you keep your modified imagemagick a separate program from the server that interacts with users (and don't e.g. exchange complex internal datastructures over IPC between imagemagick and the server) then it seems fine. If you add network interactivity directly to imagemagick then no.

I wouldn't worry too much about this case in practice because there are very few programs that choose the AGPL and don't have network interactivity.
I found this attendant console in a thrift store in San Francisco for $4. It is covered with LEDs and buttons, and has a very high build quality. I thought about how hard it would be to make something similar today (with just the cost of LEDs and buttons), and decided to pick it up for a later project.

This repository is the result of my reverse engineering of the ATT26A hardware/firmware and includes:

* Documentation of the hardware.
* Documentation of the wire protocol.
* Python library for driving the panel.
* Example programs for using the python library.

These Attendant Consoles can be found on ebay for around $25 (at the time of writing). If you are into unusual display interfaces, pick one up and see what you can do.

New examples, patches, and new language bindings welcome.

Happy hacking!
I am thrilled to be one of the newly announced Guardians of the non-profit foundation. I'm happy to answer any questions people may have, though bearing in mind that I'm going to be a little distracted for the next while until my son goes to bed.
WSJ is one of the very few news outlets that are worth reading now. Keep up good work. I am glad to pay subscription
The ios 13 features and even ios 12 show that Apple has continually made sharing and photo streams better. I think it is worth it and you can even share photo streams via urls to people that don't have ios. _I know multiple platforms have this already, just pointing out that Apple is really interested in making this experience a good one_
To fit equivalent desktop functionality to the smartphone you have to make targets either smaller, which will make them impossibly slow to use, or hide them behind other targets, which again will make them slower to use requiring hitting multiple targets instead of one. I.e. can't cheat Fitts's law.

> targets will be close to each other

Close to each other targets are effectively smaller targets, because the area you are hitting them with has some dimensions and has to fit in a smaller area to avoid hitting closer targets too.
It's not supposed to help you execute anything; it's an advertisement.
Zoos would be great if they were all world class research institutions and rehabilitation centers. We'd have far, far fewer zoos and the ones remaining would be of a higher quality.

Instead, every jurisdiction with two zip codes has its own mediocre animal jail. Not to mention the uncountable number of private zoos. I'd personally like to see those regulated out of existence, except when very high standards of welfare can be met.
Excited you guys made it into YC! I've been in a Termius subscriber since 2016 (please don't kill early adopter subs!) and it's been worth every penny. Also used ServerAuditor and paid for that too. :)

I have transitioned to using the desktop app almost entirely (altho it's annoying my mosh windows don't just stay connected all the time like they used too) and can't wait for React/WebGL to speed it up.

It would be awesome if there was a CLI app I could run that I could send a push notification that I could click on from my phone and it launches termius with the appropriate host. Currently I'm using pushover, but when I get something I have to flip into termius and manually connect.

I'll post more of my ideas into uservoice. :) Thanks for being prompt on responding to emails too, I can't wait until the new rendering engine (react I assume) doesn't suck!

There's a connotation of entitlements that they are merely demanded and not earned. But Social Security benefits are, at least through a hotly debated and ever-changing formula, related to the amount a person paid in.
In total agreement. Much of the material by artists in the 40s and 50s may be of interest to a small portion of the total population of music lovers today but that does nothing to diminish its worth. You don't like Duke Ellington? Fine. Charlie Parker? OK. Their works, none-the-less, are still an integral part of the musical fabric and history of this country and, actually, the world. They deserved much better care. Now, those original recordings are lost forever. It's like driving a stake through the Mona Lisa or knocking the head off of Michaelangelo's David. Yeah, there are replicas around but that, in no way, soothes the pain.

What self-awareness is (and how to cultivate it)
Climate: Too much diagnosis, too little prescription
I used CopperheadOS (without GApps) on a Nexus 6P as my daily driver for almost 2 years. Very few "mainstream" apps worked; they would loudly complain about the lack of Google Play Services, and at best would lose functionality (e.g. Slack, which apparently relies on Play Services for notifications) or at worst would crash either immediately or within a few minutes after launch (multiple reasonably-popular online dating apps had this problem).

In short, of the apps I tried that weren't distributed via F-Droid, most of them suffered from varying degrees of brokenness without Google Play Services (and these same apps work fine on my HTC One M8 and my current-daily-driver OnePlus 5T, both of which run LineageOS w/ GApps).

You're right, though, that "some Android apps work fine" is a better situation than "no Android apps work at all". Hopefully GrapheneOS can leverage that advantage well. It'd just be useful to acknowledge that it ain't all sunshine and rainbows just because it's AOSP-based; whether it's microG or something that ain't a security landmine waiting to blow off someone's leg, addressing that issue with an alternative service provider would be a game-changer, and would readily address the one issue I ever had with CopperheadOS (and - it seems - likely would still have with GrapheneOS).

Hey there,

Maker of the site here! Our servers don't touch any of this data, it goes straight to Very Good Security and lives in a PCI compliant vault ... We ourselves are building a new kind of bank so we take security very seriously and are not phishing.

Happy to talk through in more details but the FAQs do a pretty good job of that too!
Why have the alignment done relative to the direction of the stack? I’ve wondered the reason for this with Flexbox as well.

It’s very hard to remember and unintuitive. My guess is something to do with responsiveness?

To me, alignX and alignY (with an align shorthand) are always clear. And the amount of times I’m changing between the two is nearly 0 so far in a large app.
