This is a bad idea because if you can generate your key from a passphrase, everyone else in the world can do so also. This tool "helpfully" tags all keys it generates (via timestamp = 0) to announce the potential vulnerability.

Yes, this implementation uses the user id as a salt to prevent lookup tables from being built.

Yes, this implementation uses aggressive KDF settings to deter this sort of attack.

People are still really bad at choosing passwords and passphrases. They often pick phrases from obscure, but public, sources, thinking they're clever.

When the "let's derive asymmetric keys from a passphrase" idea was applied to cryptocurrencies the results were catastrophically bad. I gave a talk at DEFCON about this four years ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foil0hzl4Pg

There are some marginally valid use cases for keys that can be memorized, but for those cases, tools should offer opinionated passphrase generation tools that make it impractical to pick a bad passphrase. A simple way to do this would be to require that e.g. the first x bits (10 to 16 probably?) of sha256(passphrase) are zero, and bundle a tool that takes in a wordlist, an output passphrase strength, and user provided entropy (to be combined with system entropy for users who don't trust the system csprng), and spit out a compliant diceware-style passphrase.

Maybe by 2025. However, my bet was specifically about 350k cars by July 2021. That’s 17.5 gwh of battery if they are a modest 50kwh packs per car. That’s about 2/3 of current gigafactory capacity. Do you think there is that much capacity available now or will be within a year? And if so, will VW be able to buy it all?
It looks like if this is extrapolated into our understanding of pain then using diatomaceous earth (DE) as non toxic pest control would imply quite some discomfort by insects as it acts mechanically as well as a desiccant. But on the other hand insects are unlikely to evolve around a mechanical opponent.
Some studies linked meat to cancer due to viruses, viral particles, prions and other molecules present in the meat.

That said dietary studies are extremely hard to conduct in a controlled manner and thus replicate.

A diet which is heavy on plant based foods might be cancer preventative since you need to consume calories; additional plant material itself might contain molecules that help you combat cancer or at least serve as a barrier to potential carcinogenic pathogens.

As far as cancer and meat consumption goes it seems that pork and beef are the biggest offenders it’s not clear yet if it’s simply because they contain more pathogens which can impact humans as they are mammals or because those meats tend to be consumed at larger amounts.

Poultry and fish don’t seem to have as much impact with the latter showing no increase in cancer at all by most studies iirc.
If you forego scanning and make paper prints, OR put up with so-so scanning quality, it can be made cheap at home.

Edit - a bonus with making paper prints (with an enlarger, I should also clarify) a side benefit is that photographic prints scan pretty well in ordinary documents scanners!
To stop all the suffering, we need to exterminate all life on the planet. I’m not doing that cause it makes sense to check other planets beforehand (better the universe, but sadly ftl is not a thing irl).

No kidding, I believe that presence of “you” in a particular body is not a local phenomena, but a continuous field that resonates with complex-enough signal delivery systems. It is isolated by voids, but isn’t discontinuous. Basically, we all are the same field that is situationally locked into suffering states. Few happy islands cannot justify the ocean of pain out there.

It’s disappointing that there’s so little innovation. Surely, we must have learned more about ergonomics in the past half century?

The DataHand was a
new interesting “keyboard” design in the 1990’s, about 25 years ago.

Planets rotate so backup power is needed during nights. Spacecraft has to avoid obstracles and has to move, so backup is needed. During interstallar journey there is time delay in communication, so it may take hours to adjust the power beam when spacecraft moves a little bit. Fusion is like solar energy just near to us and MSR will be eventually replaced by fusion reactors.

MSR and many other fluid-fuel reactors run hot and it makes radiators small: https://www.flickr.com/photos/oakridgelab/31537153147/

Stefan–Boltzmann law: Radiation heat transfer is proportional to 4th power of temperature.
Developing at home (even color) is easy, especially if you have a sous vide machine to maintain temperature. Scanning 120 is also easier than 35mm because the larger negative means you can actually get away with using something like an Epson flatbed (whereas with 35mm if you want decent quality you need a dedicated scanner). Film is really fairly affordable for a hobby if you don't outsource development and scanning to 3rd parties.

Yes. I definitely prefer to travel with a ~2# and <13" laptop. Often use a small Asus Flip Chromebook but it doesn't really have enough memory and Asus doesn't seem much interested in that part of their line.

Was seriously thinking of getting a new Apple MacBook if they refreshed it but that's no longer an option.

I'm still waiting for the convergence to properly happen. One of my biggest issues is that none of the tablet/keyboard combos work nearly as well as a laptop for grabbing and banging away on my lap as is common at conferences.
In Polish that concept exists only because it has letters with same sounds: h/ch, u/ó, ż/rz. It's mostly for kids at school, because after a while you just remember which letter to use in most words and the rest you guess from similarities / changing the form. I've never heard of a competition around it, and the concept is rather silly for adults. (Yes, there is (was?) an annual national dictation, but it's done for fun)
Fair enough, but my point stands. Flutter is much more pleasant in cross-platform development even though this isn't even its primary goal.

I understand this is not a trivial problem, just comparing my experiences with RN with Flutter.
It's based on a piece of technology called "ostree". Fetching updates means downloading new objects from a remote object store, setting up a hardlink farm in a special location in disk (somewhere like /ostree/deploy), and during early boot, it will switchroot into there. So you can have multiple "filesystem roots" (directories on the same rootfs) and the mechanism can set things up to atomically swap between them, without wasting much file space (anything shared between them is shared, since it's hardlinks).

The details can be found in the ostree documentation: https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/atomic-upgrad...
Sure, I’m not really saying every problem in software can be solved with a debugger. But not being able to easily narrow down which part of a system is breaking an invariant shouldn’t be an everyday occurrence. Obviously shit happens (or happened in the past) and you’ve sometimes gotta do what you gotta do though.

I don’t code with a debugger either. If I need to use a debugger to figure out the logic I just wrote then I have failed to make it clean enough to understand.
I was wondering if there was any merit to a theory I once saw, and if it is called something or written up somewhere as I lost track of it.

If it is total nonsense, that would be great to know as well.

To the best of my memory, it goes along the lines of the following.

Most plant matter, in particular the parts that are considered vegetables(stems, leaves, roots), have a toxicity to prevent consumption by animals.

Many animals are immune to most or all components that would be very toxic if not processed by digestion, the liver, enzymes, etc.

But the act of processing the plant matter, in and of itself, minor amount of toxic residuals or derivatives from processing, or minor amounts of unprocessed toxins present that are not enough to be harmful in small quantities, keep organs and the immune system challenged and exercised, like how exercise keeps your strength up and your body challenged.

An exercised immune system and organs, while not perfect, are much better at keeping anomalies such as cancer minimal and fighting cancer overall.
> Are there really millions of people who walk around with a laptop cradled in their arms every day?

Yes. The sales force of almost very company I've worked at can be described this way. And their computing needs are pretty basic. A browser, email, word and excel mostly does it for them. They also need to be able to connect to a variety of I/O for presentations at different sites.

This may not be a coder laptop, but it makes a ton of sense for sales.

> Have people grown so weak they can no longer carry one in their bags?

On this point, the answer is also yes. I got that weak after an bad accident. My wife got that weak after falling 25 feet and shattering herself. Don't assume that all users of laptops are young and strong.

Infinity of -1's is a valid random sequence, just saying.
If you know how, there's an escape hatch.

There are basically multiple filesystem trees under the hood (shared with hard links to avoid duplicating file data), and at boot time you'll get one of them. These are known as "OSTree deployments", and they're found in /ostree/deploy, and they're actually mutable, it's just the bind mounts into that location that are mounted RO.

Anything in the bootloader configuration is not part of the deployment (from what I remember), and so it's mutable.

See the docs here: https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/deployment/
The split keyboards and ortholinear keys aren't that much better. They're mostly ideas about what would be better ergonomically, but they haven't been as thoroughly thought out as they seem. For the split keyboards, look at the whole of human history and tell me, out of the hundreds of thousands of years of tool use all the way back to the stone age, how many of those tasks were done with your arms set straight out in front of you, hands 12 to 14 inches apart. I bet most of human fine movement tasks were done with the hands close together (sewing for example). The position with your hands extended and 12 inches apart actually puts your elbows in a quite uncomfortable position, and I wouldn't be surprised if that in itself would lead to some injuries in that area (elbow).
As for the ortholinear key designs, that's not very ergonomic either. Make a fist with your hands. Now open your fingers. Do they open in a parallel line pattern like the orthogonal keyboards? No, they don't. They spread out, in a star-like pattern. If the keys were laid out similar to that pattern then, yes, I might concede a benefit there. But these two regular complaints about traditional keyboards while hailing split and orthogonal keybords as well thought out ergonomic solutions seem more like a fad to me.
By the way, I don't think the traditional typewriter-like keyboards are great, far from it. I do think, though, that our hands are pretty resilient, but not infinitely resilient. Too much repetitive work, insufficient rest, personal biomechanics, can all eventually lead to injuries, on all these types of keyboards.

PS-> Who came up with calling it 'ortholinear'?
Still too easy to tune out; too difficult to go backwards in; impossible to skim.

Personally I just retain it much more poorly under the best of circumstances, and stop paying attention at all for minutes at a time under the worst.

But other people have the opposite experience. Depends on who your audience is.

But if I’m part of your audience, please provide transcripts or I’ll just navigate away.
Did you make an account to stick up for insect rights?
This approach is not very realistic. 1. API design and auth takes engineering time and potentially brings more traffic you need to pay for. 2. You don't have an email address to send "back off" to. Even if you had, no enforcement means no change. 3. Blocking / throttling takes much less time and money than creating a new endpoint.

> phrases like "I've got your six" which refer to a circular clock

This particular phrase is borrowed from military jargon, as a reference to one's back/behind.

For example, in aviation, round clock references are used for shorthand to describe angular directions, with center-you, 9-left,12-ahead,3-right, and 6-behind.

Clarity and brevity make this analogy an excellent communication device.

Military pilots learn to watch their-"six".

At the same time, hearing pilots talk about Romeo Papa makes a side observer wonder how this could be related to Shakespear...if at all.

Number system convertor using light and glass - core logic

Alphabets to ascii code convertor - Application 1
ASCII code to binary convertor - Application 2

Imagine, if convertors are placed on top of one another.

Source of light need not be a problem as we can stack lenses to power it up.

Based on reading other's comments, I can see they are comparing it to an AI.

Its a problem solver using light and stacked glass. It uses structure from an AI. Neural networks filters data. you can use a digital(electronic) device or purely electrical

Input - Processing - Output - Conventional computation engine, it doesn't say it should be electrical / mechanical. First computer was a mechanical device.

This uses light!

Here is another application.

How can a blind person tell whether it is day or night ? give a light bending device that will focus light on the person's palm. If it heats up, its day.

Use a stacked light bending layers to get a yes/no answer.

Ask HN: What “Matters” in Programming?
I was reading the following Q&A:
https://www.dodgycoder.net/2012/09/q-with-nine-great-programmers.html

The second question is

"What do you think is the most important skill every programmer should posses?"

,to which one of the programmers answered:

"A strong sense of value. The ability to ask yourself the question: Is it worth doing what I’m doing right now? So many programmers seem to waste oceans of time on stuff that just doesn’t matter. And not enough on the stuff that does."

I have no clue what he means by "stuff that just doesn't matter". I would really appreciate if someone explains what this means or gives some examples of such "stuff" so that I will know not to waste time doing it. Thanks!
You’re not shadow banned on my end. HN rewards substantive comments.

'scaffolding' is a good term for this. It's hard for me to enjoy a movie, as I can see all the structure unfolding and can predict a lot of what's going to happen from the first 15 minutes or so. The good thing is that the very few great movies that escape this are true gems, but the bad thing is that I jus't don't have the drive/patience to watch movies anymore, so I don't get exposed to the very few gems.
You have 4K equipment with a VGA port. But does it actually do 4K when using VGA or does it just downscale? I haven't ever seen any VGA cable which can go above 2048×1536, and that's also the maximum wiki mentions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector#Cable_quality

The control softwares set the state and don't need to be installed beyond that. I downloaded the trial Win10 image for a VFIO VM, disabled all the lighting, and never thought about it again. I may choose not to use Windows, but I'm not going to overlook a tool because I'm "Linux-only".

I get that some object to non-open standards on principle, but RGB is not a serious impediment to availability or use. Looking, there are non-RGB versions of most current-gen hardware available from popular resellers, and there are plenty of OEM options that are RGB-free. What I don't have racked somewhere else is in solid 'silent' cases with as few moving parts as required, but I bought parts with minimal/no lighting anyway.

I certainly hope that everyone can find something amenable to their situation, but I also feel that objecting doesn't help when an hour's work or research beforehand can allieviate the cause.

Tomasik's recommendations are moderate:

> Given how many insects each of us harms or helps by our choices, consideration of insect suffering should play a significant role in our actions. For instance, we should generally avoid buying silk and shellac, reduce driving especially when roads are wet, and minimize walking on grass or in the woods.

We aren't responsible for the vast majority of insect suffering but can potentially in the future do something about it:

> Most insect suffering results from natural causes such as predation, parasitism, physical injury, and dehydration. We should encourage concern for wild-insect suffering and research ways in which human environmental policies can reduce it. Our descendants should also think twice before spreading insects and insect-like creatures to new realms, which could multiply suffering manyfold.
