I'm a founder of Velocity, and I'm happy to answer any questions!

Velocity is a very flexible, powerful way to see how work is being done at your company. Our report builder is inspired by business intelligence applications. It lets you slice your Asana data by assignee, project, team, section, tag, custom field, and just about any other field. You can then share your reports via dashboards, email, CSV, Excel, HTML embeds, TV displays, and more.

We've seen teams use Velocity for project progress reports, sprint tracking, time tracking, marketing campaign tracking, client cost tracking, and hundreds of other use cases. Teams often discover trends that they were completely unaware of. When pairing Velocity with Asana's custom fields, teams can create extremely customized reports.

I'm probably removing prices from my site, or most of them above a low usage threshold. One is the Enterprise quote reasoning, the other is we don't know our pricing model yet. I do plan to keep something for the self-service type of people, but only at the low end.
I once asked this a cryptographer. His response was that he would do the following things (if I remember correctly):

* Discuss the result with a few cryptographers he trusts, to check whether he didn't make a mistake and to make sure he's not the only one who knows about it.

* Write a paper. Put in all kinds of silly things, because it will get published anyway.

* Publish proof of having found the algorithm, together with a hash of the paper.

* Wait ~3 years until everyone has moved to a better algorithm. The normal responsible disclosure period is 3-6 months but this is so big it has to take a bit longer.

* Publish the paper.

I certainly think this is pretty dangerous. It may in fact be better to do the initial publication anonymously... and make sure you avoid all possible traces (the NSA will do everything in their power to get a hold of you).

I'm surprised there's been no mention in the article or comments of gardening to grow one's own food. Gardening (generically encompassing both in-the-ground vegetable gardens and alternative growing methods such as greenhouse, hydroponics, and indoor grow stations in the basement etc.) inherently limits waste, encourages you to eat exactly as much as you grow, and allows sustainable replenishment of the soil, the atmosphere, and the general ecosystem.

Of course, if you fill your yard with nothing but squash plants and harvest a ton of squash every fall, that's a bit of an extreme counter-example because you're not likely to eat that much squash, but even then you're going to give it away or sell it at the local farmer's market.

But for the average food grower/amateur homesteader, you'll gradually develop a self-adapted menu of homegrown foods which you will be very pleased to consume as soon as they are ready, free of nasty chemicals and ripeness inhibitors, and full of nutrients that have not been lost in the production, transportation, and storage phases that commercial produce must necessarily undergo.

You will eat locally grown produce that is adapted to your region, when and if it comes to maturity, and waste will not be your main concern, but rather the opposite -- if you have 12 potato plants, and they each produce 5-10 potatoes in August, you will accommodate the bounty by building a rack in the basement to store them over the winter -- literally a root cellar, which is what basements were originally for.

Plus, it's fun, and vastly educational for children. Nothing is more satisfying than having your child help build the raised beds and plant the seeds, then seeing the seedlings come up and develop into mature plants that provide bounty for the dinner table. Experiencing the full cycle also encourages them to eat their vegetables. Raising egg chickens is also highly fulfilling and rewarding.

Lawns are largely wasted in our society. When I visited Hungary a couple of decades ago, newly freed of Communism, every back yard had a garden, a chicken coop, as well as larger farm animals such as pigs and goats. Sadly, this level of self-sufficiency has probably diminished as their society has developed and moved to the Western model of centralized food production and distribution.

Growing your own food means next to zero waste, and what clippings and husks and greens remain after the harvest are recycled into the compost bin or straight into the bed. If you have chickens, a lot of this material, such as tomato skins, carrot ends, etc., are eagerly devoured. In return for your generosity, the chickens provide high quality fertilization of your yard and garden, and as a bonus they eat insects including ticks.
Besides what snek mentioned the whole CSS Houdini effort is about providing better, finer grained tools to be able to do/control partial updates.

That directly of course doesn't help with bundle sizes, but it means bundles don't have to carry so much logic and optimizations because they can just use the already performant APIs.
And what's open about HN?
OK, sorry I missundertoo then the iPhone point, my bad, I interpreted it as iPhone is super fast so nobody should forget to mention in any article the iPhone is the fastest phone and Intel i9s are the fastest CPUs.

I agree that we the developers should not forget that a lot of people have less powerful hardware.

I sometimes hit thus problem at work, say we offer feature X like uploading an image and you can crop that image and apply a filter, how should I add this feature but not have the code even load in the browser if you don't intend to use, is there a pure JS way to do it? AFAIK thee is no good way to load a script at runtime and get an even when the file is loaded and parsed.
> So why should historical events I have no responsibility for serve to restrict my freedom?

Again: I am not suggesting that. No-one is suggesting that. I am saying that society is attempting to move beyond horrifying historical trends, and that in the course of that has over-corrected in some areas. No-one is suggesting this is a good thing or that it shouldn't be fixed.

"Benevolent dictator" is a fairly well known term from the open source world that (taken generically) means the person in charge of something so informally organized there is no process for decision making beyond the person in charge doing as they wish.
>I think it would be wise to leave a good chunk of the mods behind. [...] Note there is no "good" in front of questions, and answers are rated by their usefullness, primarily to the person asking the question and secondary to everyone else,

Yes, the moderators are often vilified instead of praised but this gives a false impression that an alternative Q&A site with different mechanics (i.e. no moderators) would be superior.

The "game theory incentives" problem with your proposal is that the desirable experts who answer the questions benefit from the strict moderation.

Almost every proposed Q&A alternative to SO prioritizes the question askers and underestimates the answerers.

These 2 perspectives contradict each other:

(1) Moderators are useless: The question askers just want to ask their question. There are no "stupid questions". They don't care that their question is a duplicate. Therefore, the mods are just a-holes on a power trip and just get in the way.

(2) Moderators make the site usable: (Unpaid) experts with some spare time to answer questions don't want to wade through duplicate questions or do someone else's homework assignment disguised as a Q&A, etc. The mods aggressively filter out as much junk as possible to keep the expert answerers from abandoning the site.

When discussing "platform economics", economists often like to identify the "constrained supply" because that dictates where to prioritize efforts. In Uber, the constrained supply is the drivers, not the passengers. In dating apps, the constrained supply is women, not men. In a Q&A website, the constrained supply is the expert answerers and not the question askers. (This matches our intuition that generating new questions is "easy" and a larger population can ask them but answering questions is "hard" and therefore it's a smaller population that can do it.)

Therefore, the mods make the site a little better for the people answering the questions.

Another economics thinking framework is Frédéric Bastiat's "seen vs unseen":

- What's seen : a question gets "closed as off-topic". This action is very visible. It feels like an insult to the question asker and adds to the perception that SO is unwelcoming to newbies.

- What's unseen: cleaned up questions make the queue a little more sane for experts willing to spare time looking for (hopefully interesting) unanswered questions to answer. This positive effect on the queue is invisible. It's not easy for experts to comment on moderator actions they don't see because that's the whole point: filter the queue down to something more manageable and make it less annoying for the answerers.

If you deliberately optimize a new Q&A website for the question askers (i.e. no mods) at the expense of the contributors answering the questions, the experts will avoid it. That leads to a hypothetical website with less answers and lower quality answers. That will make it less popular with the question askers which is opposes the goal of making the site better for those seeking good answers to their questions.
ext4 places files further apart on disk so fragmentation happens much less often.
If they have then they are using it exceedingly sparingly.

I strongly suspect it would be impossible to use it to any moderate degree without being found out in one way or another.

I know this is a very very poorly worded question :) but I wonder what the most amazing secret was that was held for the longest time?
We think that because decades of research shows how parents benefit children on average.
As they get faster, people use that as an excuse to stuff more code into their sites. It's a very sad pattern.

You mean quantum computing (for which photonics are not a leading candidate), or regular photonic computing? Because the latter doesn’t scale any better than normal computers.
One of the perks of owning a rabbit is that we rarely have to worry about fresh produce going bad. The rabbit eats all the scraps from our own cooking (stems, carrot tops, etc) and any surplus veggies we happened to buy. It's wonderful because our fridge is always full of veggies.

Why do you suspect she acted in bad faith, and assume that the state is acting in good faith?

It seemed rather strongly arguable that 1) she takes cases she is passionate about 2) she seems to deal with cases where the state was abusive.
These are V8 devs. Why would they bother mentioning what happens on an iPhone which explicitly disallows V8?

As a result, they don’t have the tools they use to measure these stats on the iPhone either.
I'm not following your story.

At the time when 1024-bit numbers used in RSA were 'perfect', it was infeasible to factor the number in a reasonable amount of time. The most straightforward approach is just to iterate over integers from 2 to your target number (call it n), and see if anything divides evenly. Now, you start looking for shortcuts. First, you can test only half the numbers, because the second half will give identical results (e.g. n=20, n/2 = 10; later, n/10 = 2; no need to even test the second half of the range.) Next, it becomes obvious that we only care about odd numbers (if it's divisible by an even number, it's divisible by two); but really, when it comes down do it, we only care about prime factors (for one thing, all non-primes can be decomposed into prime factors; for another, we used prime numbers to get n.) And lastly, for the simple shortcuts, you really only have to get to int(sqrt(n)) + 1 or so. So we've cut down the number of integers we have to divide with.

Did we find the two prime factors of our n in a "reasonable" time? If so, just double the bit length to get a problem twice as hard. Every publicly-known shortcut to factoring large numbers just means you need to make your n larger to increase the workload on an attacker.

The question then becomes: has anyone found a shortcut that will factor any number within a "reasonable" time? We don't know.

As to your career-related comments, I read cluelessness from your boss, and carelessness from the 'other guy' - if OG "would not try to break any encryption scheme," then he's not the person whose advice you want about the strength of cryptosystems. Your boss just lacked critical thinking skills.
Ah yes you are correct
I think the core point of the OP you are missing is that he doesn't consider people indirectly, tangentially working on related things as doing "serious" work on factoring.

I tend to agree. Look at Fermat's last theorem: it went over a century as one of mathematics hardest unsolved problems, and in reality all it took was one guy dedicating a couple of months of exclusive work to it. Factoring (and discrete log?) is probably similar.

I work in this field as a non-academically-trained cryptographer. Cryptographers prefer to assume their assumed-hard functions are in fact hard and move on. Especially those that have academic training--they supposedly know better than to waste their time on such a hard problem.. but by induction that means approximately nobody is really looking at it.

very hard for a normal person to tell the good link from a bad link, and removes the way most people determine if a link should be trusted (by looking at the domain)
As a cyclist, my experience (in the US) is that pedestrians frequently react to a warning of "on your left/right" with a startled, "huh?" reaction, and turn around to the left to see what's happening. This inevitably puts them in my path, where they weren't before.

Unless I'm in a place where people generally understand the concept (shared use recreational bike paths), I don't give an audible warning unless the person is walking erratically, waving their arms as the talk, etc.

Broadly speaking, if I want people to keep doing what they're doing so I can pass safely, my experience is that it's better to just pass silently. If I want somebody to alter their behavior so I can pass safely, I'll alert them.

>If you remove the need to host, you remove a point of failure from publishing

I guess it's marginally better since there's no central "place" to take it down. However, the deplatforming concern is still there because you're still probably sharing those links on the major platforms. So they can still take those down. You can argue that having it distributed among random sites is better than having it centralized, but you can achieve the same thing by uploading to multiple sites.

The proper way to do this (that doesn't involve shifting the problem), is to use IPFS/tor. When you're sharing it, you can use a gateway server, but if that gets taken down or blocked, users can still access it using the underlying network if they really wanted.

Then why are you so loose in your response? Why do you conflate murder with a loose definition of domestic violence? With the looser definition, women are MORE violent than men.
More impressive than using modern tools is that people in WW2 figured this out and modeled it on paper using slide rules.
I actually did partake, as a 90's kid, but I didn't know how dangerous it could be. To us, it was a harmless game the older kids had played in their time. I tried Googling this at the time but the information on it was scarce.

The Wikipedia article has fleshed out since then to include some risks, and links to asphyxiation for a more thorough analysis. We had no idea why it happened at the time.
Our chickens love all our food waste.

And any chicken meat waste goes to the local magpies so they won't bomb us.
Whoosh. The point is that NOBODY has any real evidence either way, so one shouldn't have a strong default prior of the problem being truly "hard."

One example would be if they can trick the user into installing a service worker, then they can hijack all fetch calls for all other pages (I think).
I'd be interested to see some data on the real impact of "much faster". I can't imagine object parsing would be a large cost in the big picture.
Do these food waste statistics count what factories throw out? Recently, I met someone who works in quality control on a Kelloggs line. He told me that day they threw away 1,500 lbs of food on his line alone and that is a fairly common stat.

I'm personally very conscientious of my food usage and throw little away, but the EPA telling the consumer this is their problem is irritating.
You seem to be positing a world where “bad” decisions are somehow kept off the ballot, leaving only a menu of “good” options for the wise majority to enact.

Well, that’s not our world. When a CA gay marriage ban comes up for vote, it’s important to me that the majority not get their way. And unless I’ve seriously misapprehended your politics, I’m not sure why you’re advancing an argument where such a ban is just because “letting the minority prevail” would be worse.

So yeah, it’s a mistake to treat the “what” and the “how” of decision-making separately.

I don't think it's for us to pre-judge which rationalisations are good ones and which aren't. Some of them seem pretty compelling, but for others such as the student needing help we just don't know enough about the specific circumstances to know.

Individually I can agree that yes this task is important enough to give up that event with her children. They might all be reasonable. I think the problem comes when you look at the aggregate.

One lawyer can't save every victim of injustice or teach every student. Does she actually need to get into every one of these demanding situations one after the other, with no gap? Even then, maybe the answer is yes if that's what it takes to get ahead in her career to achieve the things she wants to, but that's really the tradeoff not the individual instances.
Yes. I thought that was implied by "I think that should be the default", i.e., that this is better behavior but most people won't go to the extra effort, but I can see how it might have been ambiguous.
What I do, and all the sites I visit (techie) are surprisingly not broken (aside from recaptcha spam):

1) use Firefox with multi-account containers, and disable 3rd party cookies.

2) put youtube in it's own "youtube" container. do not login to that container

3) put all other google stuff in it's own "google" container

If you do that, and don't login to google except in the "google" container it makes it more difficult for google to know who you are on youtube or other non-google sites.

But to make it so they REALLY don't know who you are, you need to do the above plus use a VPN. In my own usage I've discovered that youtube will recommend you videos based on your IP address's recent views if your not logged in.
> it seems to suggest optimizing your site for V8 a bit too much.

+1. After seeing some opinions that Chrome is becoming the new IE over the past few weeks, I've switched to Firefox to do my small part in trying to prevent another browser monopoly.
The last update was a minor bump in specs. The current models are more than 3 years old and there are rumors swirling about a new design.

Since macOS is always released in September/October, people are speculating there will be an event for updated Macs at that time. The iMac Pro is also long out of date, and maybe they have more to talk about with the Mac Pro.
There is a comment on the site that the Galilean Moons of Jupiter can be seen with the naked eye under dark skies. I've known people who might have eyes good enough to do that, but for the rest of us even a modest pair of binoculars is enough. To me, it's one of the funnest things you can view in the northern hemisphere without getting out more serious equipment. (Another would be the Orion nebula. If you can set the exposure on your camera, you can even photograph it, although without tracking it'll be blurry.)

I don't think it would happen this way. First, other researchers would be looking for that algorithm too and therefore, institutions would have time to prepare. Second, leveraging a technical attack imply to have some operational support. The bigger the attack, the bigger the organization you need to implement it...
What do you mean there's no competition? This feels like such a weird statement when there's competition in just about every market segment on the web. If you mean there's no competition where the differentiating feature between competitors is performance then well sure, that's a lot rarer.

For user-facing applications performance only really matters in human time, and is pretty far down on the list of how people choose software over things like features, price, ease of use, etc.. Until performance becomes a big problem because the app/site becomes unusable it's basically no problem.

Hackers might not like it but we're such a weird market to sell to. Not necessarily that performance is a weird preference but that by in large hackers are perfectly fine with woefully inefficient feature-packed apps for their "primary" apps like their IDE but then want super lightweight skeleton-featured experiences for everything secondary.
