I'd expect very few clients to negotiate using SHA-384. It's widely viewed as overkill compared to SHA-256, and it hurts performance.

I'm not saying it invalidates the benchmark results or anything—I just wanted to address your "not used" question.
Signal-noise ratio is how I'd put it, too. There's a lot of stuff it recommends to me over and over that I have no interest in watching, like generic mockbusters and Korean soap operas.

If this is the actual reason subscriptions are dropping, then the obvious solution would be to ACTUALLY allow searching and filtering of the catalog, along with nuanced rating of shows and accurate prediction.

I remember that netflix sponsored a contest to accurately predict what people wanted to watch, then ignored the winning algorithm.
I despise and hate with passion the Capslock key. On linux I always run setxkbmpap -option caps:escape. I wish the same could be done on Windows. I got used to it so much that I find myself from time to time writing catpital letters when I'm on Windows or foreign setup.

My hate for the key came years before I thought about the possibility of remapping it. Similarly, I hate the F1, a key that when accidentally pressed on some windows machines inside programs like excel can steal the focus and leave the computer unusable until it loads the useless help sidebar (when all I wanted was hitting the F2 for editing a cell content).
Well, when that option is available, as in the case of something like SAMBA WEB MVR, we absolutely opt for that instead, and pay our dues.
The auto-playing is straight up infuriating to me. I now mute my tv as soon as netflix loads up.

I too am a fan of visual programming and node-based and flow-based editors, but they are few and far between and tend to be highly specialized.

If you know of ones that are high quality please point me in the right direction.
I don't think it is that clear -- he is selling access to a data set containing PII (email address or account names). Its stolen data. One can make a case that free and open access to this data set is a common good, however once money is involved, one is conducting business with data that one did not legally obtain. It is not 'perfectly legal'.
Imagine flipping through the Netflix "channels", Die Hard is playing, and it's playing right at the scene where Bruce Willis is jumping out of the window of the building.

And there's an option in the right corner to "play from the beginning".

Flip to the next movie, and it's positioned right at its most popular scene.

Is Intel not a "mega tech company"? They have 75% the market cap of Microsoft, and virtually all of their revenue is from producing silicon.

Ironically this is exactly the point you miss - Intel's business it to produce and sells silicone. Intel's cohorts are AMD, ARM and NVIDIA, and they are all technology companies who's business is the development and sell of technology.

Apple produces consumer electronics, and though in many cases it also designs and produces some internal technology components, their business is not in any way dependent on selling that tech in itself. In fact it's arguable that the main influence on whether an apple component is developed in house or outsourced is economical/logistical and not tech based at all. Apple's cohorts are Sony, Samsung, LG etc, all consumer electronics providers.
NYC and SF both have tremendous advantages that Nashville doesn't, Nashville needs to compete.

I don't know if NYC and SF are examples of good governance, or examples that show great cities can support lots of poor governance as long as they retain the things that make them great.
It is definitely advertising. Back when streaming services were new, the lack of advertising was a major selling point of streaming services vs cable but now they're stuffed full of ads and for some reason the ads are for content you've already paid for.
I agree a lot. Mathematics intersects with programming when you use programming to solve mathematical problems. I find that that happens rarely for me (although it has happened). I feel like the biggest boons for programmers are having a good grasp on logic, pattern recognition, category theory, and the process of abstraction.
I agree that if we are to maintain this opaque system where customers (patients) pay a flat rate for ludicrously overpriced insurance, and then have no insight into prices nor ability to reduce them because they don’t pay for the actual services, then universal healthcare is better.

However, universal healthcare is not a panacea as evidenced by many angry patients waiting for procedures in Canada and the UK - although they are leaps and bounds better off than many in the current USA system.

An alternative would be to have transparent pricing and open the market much more to for-profit businesses. Notice how vasectomies and laser eye surgery, 2 procedures not typically covered by insurance, have become safer, cheaper, and more effective over the past 20 years as they have been forced to advertise directly to consumers and compete with other vendors. This is the opposite trajectory of almost everything else in the healthcare system. I’m not saying all procedures can become like this - obviously a heart attack is a heart attack - but there are many other specialist procedures that are indeed scheduled in advance that could benefit from a heavy dose of transparency and competition.

As another example, I’ve been on the same medication for the past 8 years. I get the same dose, and it’s never changing. Yet my provider makes me visit every 3 months for a refill. They put me in a room and “check up” to make sure the meds are "going well". Often this 30 minute scheduled meeting is less than 5 minutes because my doctor just hits a button on the computer to refill it. Yet insurance pays 4 times a year for this unnecessary visit to a specialist doctor. It doesn't cost me anything (other than deductible) so I'm most annoyed about the time wasting, but I also know that the system is being bilked for thousands of dollars.

Multiply that anecdote by a million other situations. I should just be able to buy my meds without being forced to go through a doctor.
My biggest reason to not use the defaults has been keyboard layout. I've bounced back and forth between a version that deeply changed the Vim keys and one that tried to minimally change keys as best as possible. I'm back on the "minimal change" layout preference, but the problem is still "minimal change" is not "no change" and definitely not quite "nirvana".
The US does not fly drones within 1000 yards of a foreign vessel.
I can understand how it would seem unreasonable, because we're likely looking at this from different perspectives. Having worked as moderators here for years, we're pattern-matching on countless instances of previous discussions and flamewars. From that perspective I can tell you for sure that the fear is not unfounded.

We can argue about the meaning of language like "nothing will change until people start speaking a language that law enforcement understands: violence", "It took a few dudes with a box truck", "I don't know what it's gonna take", "it will almost certainly involve more killing", "law enforcement isn't going to get the message until something so over the top happens", "they can shove it back up their asses", and "that will hopefully provide the necessary motivation". But the point I'm making is on a different level: when people write that aggressively about an inflammatory topic, it has a predictable effect on internet forum threads. Mass behavior is more predictable than individual behavior in some ways.
Well except that it's probably more carbon-expensive to move a container of widgets by truck from the East coast to California than it is to truck them from Mexico or by container ship from Asia.

A carbon tax designed to fairly internalize externalities will not really please protectionists.
That’s kind of true, but then you have to do layout and routing using what is essentially CAD software.
One thing I've considered doing but haven't done, is building an "archive" box just to sit in the office and mirror cloud data. It wouldn't be all that complicated just mirror some cloud storage onto local encrypted storage -- pretty easy until somewhere over 10TB. There are plenty of ways that is could fail but they would be much more uncorrelated than a backup on the same cloud provider.
I, for one, would welcome a force with the size and influence of Google telling devs to cut the Javascript crap. To me, it’s like violating the conditional rendering rule: there are plausible reasons to want to do it, but Google is right to push back on it.

It’s not as if totally legitimate websites don’t have reasonable technical alternatives here.
I've been pondering a feature like this for a while to replicate my youthful viewing habits.

When I was younger, I would get home from school and watch a few hours of TV. The channel I watched would syndicate sitcoms in blocks, same show at a given time, played in episode order (but a few different shows over the afternoon).

What I'd love from netflix is to be able to put together a list of shows I'm watching right now and have it run a playlist in random order by show, but with the episodes in the correct order per show.
My two daily drivers are a System76 Galago and a Thinkpad T480. The only complaint i have about the system76 is the fans go like hell when I have a web browser open, much less intellij. The thinkpad is great and the extra support is fantastic
Yeah, I go to Netflix if I know what I want to watch not to browse. It is very much like a DVD that won't let you skip the trailers.
I've never come across this before. Thanks for sharing!
From the article it sounds like there are some simplistic reasons why OpenSSL may be slower, such as making an extra copy of the plaintext, but that doesn't necessarily mean that fixing it is easy.
Highly used yes. But there are only two full time developers on this and funding was flakey. There was giant discussion about this during Heartbleed vulnerability.
From a developer perspective, I like json a LOT more than XML-based data.

s-expressions seem like an out-of-left-field choice.
"Osse" is so obscure that Wiktionary didn't list it as English. Merriam-Webster[1] gives two different obsolete definitions. I suppose the verb one ("attempt") makes more syntactic sense than the noun ("ominous utterance"), but English makes verbs of nouns so fluidly that it's hard for me to tell which he meant.

Ordinarily I'd say that makes it a poor word choice, but in this context it just seems to heighten the tone. It's one of the few things to admire about it, which seems too on-the-nose for me to think of as one of Auden's better works. (I'll admit to liking "we like huddling in gangs and knowing the exact time", because that's a way I'm grumpy too.)

Can you provide an example of a name trusted among cryptographers, a specific library, and a bad outcome? I agree with Patrick Walton: Brian Smith is an extremely credible engineer in this particular domain.

I would venture, tentatively, the hypothesis that the exact opposite thing is true, and that trusting well-established subject matter experts has been a pretty good strategy in cryptographic security. There's a reason everyone uses Sodium/Nacl.
According to the NDA with my company I can't reveal anything about the architecture beyond the fact that it is hosted locally on a homebuilt distributed system that randomly chooses from a pool of 120 residential IPs.

We do have human emulation routines that helped avoid most detection, and that library is decoupled in such a way that we can edit behavior down to the individual site.

Some sites are just so damn good and detecting us and I just don't get it.

Sorry about your loss.

I lost a friend of 17 years last spring (he was 30) to a similar cardiovascular issue, and I'm still picking up the pieces more than a year later. It hit way harder than losing grandparents.

It also showed me that people I'm surrounded by are a lot shittier than I thought compared to him. It taught me to look out for my personal interests more, especially when it comes to health and compensation for my time, and generally standing up to obnoxious bullies.

> The general population is extremely ignorant to climate change and the rather serious consequences it brings. I've had many people tell me it's fake, it's just something politicians use in debates, it's a conspiracy, that we aren't experiencing global warming but in fact are headed for a mini ice age, that they don't care because they can't stop it so they're going to keep on living their life how they want

I think we have to realize that people vary wildly in their cognitive ability, and some people may just never be able to grasp complex abstract concepts. It doesn't make them worse people, but I don't want to be subject to the tyranny of ignorance either. Another part of this is that people are dealing with personal crises much of their time (like loss of loved ones) and that their focus cannot be diverted to global problems for too long. Life's hard enough without having existential crises about the survival of your species every week. Not sure how to tackle this one.

> That Silicon Valley is comical. I'd always pictured it as these brilliant people doing neat stuff, making breakthroughs and driving future technology.

The one place that changed my view of technology is, surprisingly, HN itself. For the same reasons you state, I've committed to being a generalist, because most HN posters and the tech cargo cult shows how easily you lose perspective if you are successful in a narrow field of tech. It circles back to your earlier point about tech being elitist. Just the idea of people who have very narrow perspectives being elitist is hilariously ironic to me.
Part of the reason I deleted my account and ignore Facebook recruiters.
That awful people I'll never meet, in countries far from mine, can have a negative impact on my mental health.
To me there is a reason why twitch is popular and I believe it is exactly this feeling. I remember watching some more dodgy streaming services that just effectively were streamed playlists of shows, but you didn't have any control over the playlist. You watched (or watched part of) a series start to finish and then a new series would start and you'd watch that instead. It was a small enough total catalog that you often could pick up where you left off a week or two later and watch another chunk, and that was it.

The pendulum has seemingly reached the limits of self-programmed content and has started to swing the other way, and people are starting to realize the value of having a content producer putting on a good show across several programs.

Netflix also feels (by the way they are developing their internal IP) that they are becoming a niche (in genre) service rather than a generic appeal service and losing subscribers feels like an outcome of the catalog they have tried to pursue. The subscribers they retain are likely going to have a higher level of permanence compared to people who are a more general audience.
Both the salivary glands and pancreas produce amylase, but in different isoforms. Salivary amylase is ptyalin, coded by the AMY1 gene. Pancreatic amylase is coded by AMY2. Humans have multiple copies of these genes, and more copies means more amylase is produced. Someone with 4 copies of AMY1 can still digest starch, but someone with 16 copies of AMY1 might have most of their eaten starches reduced to oligosaccharides long before their ptyalin is inactivated in the stomach. More copies of AMY1 is directly correlated to historic populations with higher starch consumption.

Gut biota will also make their own amylases.

An amylase blocker causes carbohydrate malabsorption, and that is about the same as a lactose-intolerant person consuming lactose. The starches end up getting fermented in the intestine. The gut biota will consume most of them, but I suppose it is possible they might drop some on the floor for the intestine to absorb.

My hypothesis is that the slower rate of digestion of starch produces a lesser effect on perceived satiety.
Well, we can't call it Satan ... ... ...

Skia is just a 2D drawing API, like Cairo. It's what Chrome uses under the hood to render their whole UI I think, including (non-WebGL) HTML5 canvas stuff.

Why you would want to use this over HTML5 canvas? Good question. Maybe you want some features in Skia that aren't in the canvas API? Maybe you have a Skia app that you want to port to the web?
wow good for them if they're getting people to pay $99. It does look well-designed, but the course outline seems a bit elementary. If anyone is thinking about buying this, you could probably just google the items in the course outline and try watching a youtube video on it.
Before I worked in healthcare, it all seemed so easy. The doctors were the good guys, and the insurance and drug companies were the bad guys. Now I see it differently.

Healthcare companies are massive bureaucracies because there are people at every end trying to scam them. All that redundant paperwork is for a reason.

You wouldn't believe some of the things that people try to get away with. Plastic surgeons billing tummy tucks as emergency C-sections. People pretending they were the hospital so they can get the insurance company to reimburse them for the IV "hangover cures" they got every morning while partying in Vegas. People walking into office buildings and play-collapsing in the lobby so they can get an ambulance ride to the hospital across town, then once they arrive they run out of the hospital and down the street because all they were really looking for is a free ride. People who have six or seven dependent children from multiple partners on their insurance, then yell at us because the partner they're living with didn't know about all those other children from all those other spouses until they opened some piece of mail from us.

I'm not saying that insurance companies are all good. IME, most are not. But if people were just honest and decent, a large part of the healthcare system dysfunction wouldn't exist.

Drive stream pretends to be a network drive and hides syncing. It locally caches files on demand and uploads and deleted local copies in the background. From my perspective it is just always up to date and let's me have tbs of files on a small computer.

It is a game changer because it is simple. It is a virtual drive in the cloud that is fast and seamless and behaves as if it is local.
The rationale is that the reference NTP implementation codebase was old and would benefit from a large cleanup. It was in a similar position to openssl in that the code was used by large numbers of commercial entities yet they provided no steady stream of money to maintain it. Openssl only had one paid developer in pre-heartblead days, while NTP only had Harlan whose efforts were maligned a few years ago.

Both of the projects also generally required knowledgeable people as they're in specialist areas.

Like any implementation of NTP, NTPsec needs to work at the protocol level, but I don't know whether it was practical for the NTP project to accept the degree of change in it's codebase that the NTPsec people wanted. In an ideal world the fork could have been avoided and a more vibrant community of developers would have happened.
