Are you familiar with a mobius strip? A ribbon with a twist in it produces a one-sided band. A klein bottle is essentially like a levelling-up of that by a dimension. It is a 4D surface which is, just like the mobius strip, single-sided. If you were 4th dimensional, you could trade from the 'outside' to the 'inside' and back without crossing any boundary. Of course, the klein bottles you can buy or see renderings of are 3D embeddings of this, so they have to include a bit of self-intersection that wouldn't actually occur in the real 4D version.

I'm an admin on Reactiflux (although at the time of the switch from Slack to Discord, I had just joined as a newbie).

We got kicked off Slack because we got up towards 10K users signed up, and Slack locked us from having any more people join. Clearly, we weren't a good fit for their business model. Worked out well for us - we've loved Discord ever since we switched over!
I currently set my terminals to production servers on a different colour scheme as a warning to avoid doing something wrong accidentally. As soon as I saw this feature I thought I'd use it to put a giant alarm sign as background image for production terminals.

How in this day and age does orgmode work without a laptop. It is such a powerful system but useless when you are not in front of your laptop. I have struggled with this for years. I love org mode but I can’t stand it’s 80s usecase of must be used on my desktop/laptop. Would be great if orgmoders can share examples of how they use it without laptop. Yes there is beorg but it is nowhere near what orgmode offers and being tied to a laptop is just not very current with the times.

At this point in our relationship, Atrium's basically been a really well-run law firm who is economically incentivized to make legal more efficient. They also have significant funding, an experienced CEO, and silicon valley thinking, so yeah I think the foundation for something significant like "law as code" is there, even if it's years away.

Great work! I like your site quite a bit - both in appearance and content. I'll have to take a closer look when I get the chance.

It's pretty cool that, despite using different languages and implementations, we converged on fairly similar outputs. That said, I may need to borrow some ideas from yours!

> There are also a lot of institutions interested in making 22-year-olds feel brilliant in exchange for their creative output.

There seem to be a few motivations for promoting someone else's (not just 22yos) self-image of being "brilliant". Ones I've seen so far:

* A teacher/mentor might offer encouragement, so that a person will keep working on learning/doing something that needs effort, rather than think they're not cut out for it. (Though it's maybe better to expressly attribute accomplishments to effort rather than innate qualities.)

* A manager might also do it for good morale/atmosphere, and even a genuine expression of appreciation for a positive contribution and effort.

* An employer, investor, or university might "recognize" and echo-chamber "brilliance", to attract people and extract work/tuition/rankings from them. (Don't you want to go where people are "brilliant" and, perhaps after hazing to reinforce that, they accept you as one?) (Also, flattery costs less to give than dollars do.)
Because it’s not a tree.

Compiler IRs tend to have the property that operands are not themselves expressions; they can only be variables or maybe constants. That makes it easy to identify sequence points, which makes it easier to insert code or reshape the control flow graph.
The problem is, people with seemingly unpopular views do not know which of their acquaintances share their views. So it’s hard to estimate the popularity of a given view, and the default option becomes silence. Inevitably, the popular view quickly seeps into the void, meeting no resistance as it becomes the de-facto standard of thought.

The end result is a polarized society driven by a stagnant discourse of self-indulgent moral platitudes.

You can do the same thing in ada. Instead of using the Fortran_Character type defined in Interfaces.Fortran you could just define your own that does not follow Fortran's string calling convention.

Is that a language problem with ada? That's all the C programmers did here.

Direct threading and indirect threading both rely heavily on the indirect predictor. You might even say that direct threading relies more heavily on indirect predictor state and in particular the contents of the IBTB because it has so many more branches and so more opportunity to store per-location history for particular instructions and hence more to lose if the IBTB is flushed.

Indirect threading relies more on strong and deep history pattern matching at a single location, and probably uses less state overall.

A public STM implementation has long been needed.

In 2009, ITL/Qubes wrote about DRTM (Intel TXT, AMD SKINIT) and STM, https://invisiblethingslab.com/resources/bh09dc/Attacking%20... & https://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-dc-09/Wojtczuk_Rut...

> The late launch ... promises to effectively provide all the benefits of a computer restart without actually restarting it. It is hard to overemphasize the potential impact that a technology such as TXT could have on computer security ... We describe a practical attack that is capable of bypassing the TXT's trusted boot process ... As part of the attack we also discuss practical attacks on SMM memory ... Intel's remedy to malicious SMM handler is called STM, which stands for SMM Transfer Monitor. The purpose of STM is to sandbox the existing SMM handler by virtualizing it using VT-x and VT-d technologies. STM should be thought of as of a peer hypervisor to the VMM that is being loaded using late launch. STM is supposed to be measured during the late launch process ... no STM, as of today, is unfortunately available on the market, which yields our attack applicable to all current systems. One aim of our research ... is to stimulate developers to create an STM.

The May 2019 version of Windows 10 added support ("SystemGuard") for DRTM-enabled hardware that could benefit from an STM, https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2018/04/19/introduci... & https://www.platformsecuritysummit.com/2018/references/#syst...

In 2018, NSA gave a presentation on their STM work, https://www.platformsecuritysummit.com/2018/speaker/myers/

> We describe our work to demonstrate an enhanced SMI transfer monitor (STM) to provide protected execution services on the x86 platform ... Our STM enhancements create a protected execution capability by extending the STM to support additional VMs (PE/VM)

From a coreboot developer, https://twitter.com/_zaolin_/status/1055474061428572162?s=21

What's the problem with Google having a competitor, why are you so hyped about?(This is why I think you're a fanatic)

Also, why are you so eagerly defending the big guy/monopolist in the room. Is this the attitude of an entrepreneur or hacker? One that is part of the "hacker news" community?

Every programmer should have experience writing parsers, compilers, and interpreters, regardless of whether they took a class or even went to university.

The majority of developers doing yet another software as a service CRUD app or your typical “dark matter developer” who will write software that will never see the light of day outside of the company they work for would never benefit from writing a compiler or interpreter.

Sure, people can have tons in common, but attempting to argue that educated people in, say, India, Korea, and France all basically have the same political or social belief enters the realm of the ridiculous.
Reading what Paul Ehrlich says annoys me even more when I read it again ..granted he wrote in 1969..clearly dark ages in some ways..five decades since, they are flogging the same thing.

You’d think any sane, logical, rational solution would include BOTH men and women...and suggest abortions/contraception(including invasive procedures AND a reversible low risk and low impact male procedure.

Instead it’s ‘educate women’ and ‘’equal rights at work’ ad nauseum ad infinitum... as if procreation is biologically related to a college degree or pay check. Thats because this is tackled as a sociological experiment..but this is a biological problem that needs a biological solution.

Considering especially that a vasectomy has more of an impact and more ‘bang for the buck’, as it were due to men constantly spewing their viable genetic material with no consequence versus the relative scarcity of the female ovum that results in pregnancy.

The pill, condom and the IUDs all have higher failure rates and risk of infection, replacement procedures and health side effects.

Vasectomies is such a peaceful and anxiety free solution compared to any of the other methods of conception.

I mean..other than the fact that men might feel squeamish about it, can anyone give me one logical reason(not cultural or about feelings) why vasectomies after cryo storage of sperm and incentivized for men past a couple of progenies is not a better option?

I realize there are more males here than females. Maybe imagine this is for another species or an alien life form and consider this a thought experiment rather than taking it personally.

This insanity has to stop.
LogParser now supports telnet to Scrapy=1.5.2 with auth enabled
In my part of Northern Europe, in the winter the issue is keeping the inside humid enough. During winter when the air temperature is -10c or less there is basically no water in the air.

We have a MHRV system, but it doesn't account for humidity, so will happily replace all the air inside with dry air from outside (I'm trying to automate it with HASS). Our bathroom fan has a humidity sensor, so doesn't run so much in the winter, but even so the humidity often gets down to 25% rh inside.

The same was said of selinux. I think perhaps the NSA is slightly more complicated with more complex goals than you describe.
It's funny, I've read "The Cuckoo's Egg," Clifford Stoll's book, probably twenty times now. I had no idea there was a documentary about it (The KGB, The Computer, and Me - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0308449/) until just now so thanks.
The house would also last longer as it wouldn’t be in contact with rain.

Rainforest houses in Australia (yes.. it’s a thing) are built out of wood and last like realistically only about 15 or 20 years before they’re practically falling apart from rot.
It's more like you got lost in the comparison spiral. Formal interpretation of my phrase: cost of heating with unlocked windows > (permalocked windows + ventilation system).

I live 55°N in Russia so I know that from practice, but we don't lock the windows throughout the summer because the cooling would cost around the same as heating in winter, just one or two opened windows in the night for convection and curtains in the daylight are enough to keep the temperature.

While you make some interesting points, you are playing fast and loose with the difference between predictions and promises.

Elon says he thinks development cars will have FSD by the end of the year and you take it as a "promise" that they will have it and a "claim" that it will then be in production cars shortly thereafter.

He couched his predictions with a lot of caveats that you are ignoring while you engage in disingenuously calling the predictions "promises" and "claims."
The NSA's track record here is mixed, so I'm not sure how to feel. They actually improved the design of DES.

> Bruce Schneier observed that "It took the academic community two decades to figure out that the NSA 'tweaks' actually improved the security of DES."
Thanks for the wonderful feedback, makes me happy :)

I'd prefer to help readers with hints rather than making solutions public. Give it your best shot and if you are stuck with no where to go, you can contact me via email/twitter mentioned in Preface chapter.

(function printRecursively(ob, _keys = []){
_.map(ob, (val, key) => {
var k = _.isNumber(key) ? '[' + key + ']' : '.' + key;
var keys = _keys.concat(k);
if (_.isObject(val))
printRecursively(val, keys);
else
console.log(keys.join('') + ' = ' + typeof val + ' ' + val);
});
})(json);

EDIT: how do I markup code on HN?
How is it clear? Ten years on there are zero cryptocurrencies in wide use as actual currencies, and blockchain has drastically changed zero industries (except maybe malware).

The Internet had many popular use cases years or decades before investor money poured in. Blockchain has already seen a bubble and a bust with exactly one popular use case: trading cryptocurrency, which itself is only really used for speculation and scams.

"Managed by code" is also not really a thing. Humans write the code! And there's no real reason to expect the humans who create the cryptocurrency ecosystem to be any more trustworthy than the humans in government.
All that's needed is to disable a few browser options https://boingboing.net/2018/07/22/adversarial-interop.html

I actually tried the "wiresharking my own cables" approach, but because it's encrypted, you also need to dump the ephemeral encryption keys. There's a simple guide on how to do this here: https://jimshaver.net/2015/02/11/decrypting-tls-browser-traf...

Huh? The SSD has been soldered on the MacBook Pro since the 2018 version afaik.
All they did was make sure breakable-by-them encryption was in use much longer than it should have been. I'd hardly call it a mixed track record.

> However, the NSA also ensured that the key size was drastically reduced such that they could break it by brute force attack.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard
They restricted devices on the free accounts.

So you weren't paying them anyway, while you openly admit that you pay for their competition. The chances of you becoming a customer where none to begin with.

I find your message funny because it reflects the consumer mentality. People don't blink on buying a venti latte from Starbucks, but prefer to be freeloaders when it comes to online services that keep their emails or files safe.

And that is why the Internet is full of services that violate your privacy via an ads driven model. Because freeloaders can be milked.
It could also be the NSA does not trust proprietary firmware for similar reasons people are working on open source firmware to begin with.

The problem is NSA really only knows their motives.

The other problem with the NSA is that they have two goals. One is to protect the US and US entities security and the other is subvert foreign entities. If they start publicy recommending coreboot for what they deem senstive installations then their intentions are obviously not malicous. Problem is the NSA may never publicy specify that its for senstive installtions and may only ever be an internal guideline.
All I said is that they may have complex goals, while pointing out selinux was also contributed primarily by them. I take it that means your position is that they only contribute code for the purpose of exploiting people for national security, and selinux is also suspect?
Most responses here extolling Jio for the low-cost mobile data.

not to forget how Jio scammed their way into existence:

[1] https://frontline.thehindu.com/cover-story/spectrum-grab/art...

[2] https://frontline.thehindu.com/cover-story/the-great-telecom...

and, this artificially low cost data is killing competition, which will impact a lot of their debt held by banks.
and to keep these banks alive, govt shall resort to some more "recapitalization".

effectively, Jio's low cost data is being funded by taxpayer money.

we all need to keep that in mind.
Doesn’t it. It does depend or it doesn’t depend.
Front-running is fine with me. It I place a limit order that says I'll buy a pizza for $10 or less, and someone can buy that pizza for $8 and sell it to me for $10, I'm a happy buyer -- I'll expect to get at least $10 of utility out of that pizza. Without funding the market-makers, there may be no market....
It's worth noting that it's even worse than that - some of the NSA employees contributing might not be aware of the motives involved if any are concealed.

So a journal can get a free pass on an obvious violation of scientific ethics just by saying that they're a general issue journal?

So, the flashy headline gets used by "whoever" wants clicks (etc), but the follow up details are unlikely to be seen.

They published it. Clearly everyone didn't know that was nonsense or they knowingly published garbage because it would make for nice press and now they refuse to retract it. Either its shameful behavior in the past, or shameful behavior now, or maybe both.

If my friend asks me what the score in lasts night's game was, and I tell him 4-3, but then later realize that it was actually 4-2, I'll send him a txt to correct the mistake.
