I grew up in a house of books and have lived with a bookseller for most of my life. Having therefore owned and lived with 10,000 to 15,000 books, periodicals and related ephemera (catalogues, concordance &c) I can assure you I cannot recall even fractional amounts of most of these although I can recall significant amounts of many and quite inaccurately quote some small amount. So I too think the question demands testing: it's the kind of thing people say but actually don't mean. "What is written on page 150 of the third book on the tenth shelf" is quite different to what comes after 'it was the best of times it was the worst of times' and many Shakespearean fans could quite easily quote significant amounts of most plays, Wagnerians could sing the ring cycle, my mum who certainly didn't have eidetic memory could whistle a lot of Mozart or Bach: getting from pedestrian memory to this specific recall Peek is said to have had is pretty strange, and I think should be verified. Day of the year or train timetables are tricks. Flow text with meaning? That's hard.

Yup, I like how FF does it. I basically just do a repeated sequence of:

TAB -> Arrow Down (select one of the previously filled values I've used) -> Enter

When filling a form. Given that sometimes we order things on made up names, it's quite useful no to have that autofilled when we're not wanting to.

I went for GTK3 in Go (Gotk3) and kind of regret it. Not that there is anything particularly wrong with it, but I'd go for Qt if I could start afresh.

I don't think "millions of end-users" want broken websites because now another developer (Google) gets to decide what's correct (instead of the web dev).

A better solution could be to just behave reasonably by default but allow the user to re-enable auto-fill with a single click.
The free unlimited high quality storage is great, but as someone who just switched to iOS after many years with Android, the implementation of folders/albums is REALLY poor compared to iCloud.

There's absolutely no mapping between folders and albums. If you sync your photos and don't organize them into albums manually every time, the folder structure is lost completely.

Pretty much all Android apps will only let you pick images from folders. There's usually an option buried in the hamburger menu to pick images from Google Photos, but you can only see ALL your photos lumped together, no option to choose from an album.

Sure, you can use the share feature in Google Photos, but that doesn't work if you need to use the image in a specific context, for example replying to a specific tweet.

With iCloud this all works seamlessly, my only gripe is that album order does not appear to be synced and even if I reorder them on my device, many apps appear to list albums in creation order. But overall it's still better.

That would only be true if (b . c) were a proper list. But it’s not. Strictly speaking, it’s not even a list if you go by the definition of list provided before your quoted rule. It’s later called a “dotted list” to distinguish it from a list, which must be nil-terminated.

Your position boils down to claiming that the rule you quoted is intended to cover lists as well as dotted lists. As stated, it only covers the former, which leaves (a b . c) undefined.

> Your fingerprint is not a password

Correct, because a fingerprint makes a password to some extent redundant.

> it's just an identifier and shouldn't be treated as a secret

Correct, identifiers are not secrets. Your face is not a secret and your fingerprint either. The problem is that we use secrets to identfy someone, when we potentially already have tech which can identify someone without having to remember a secret and store it in a dictionary of secrets on someone else's computer in the cloud.

The sole purpose of a password is to identify someone with a certain degree of confidence. If a fingerprint taken from a handheld device, which has already been proven to belong to a person, can provide the same if not even a higher level of certainty about someone's identy, then a password or as you say "secret" is not required at all anymore.
Do you have some examples you could share?
I'm a Linux user. While browsing with Chrome my CPU temperature hovers around 45 degrees. If I start using Firefox it increases to 55 degrees.
The teacher felt strongly that the student's gender was biological and not something the student could arbitrarily choose to change. The teacher felt that using a pronoun other than a biologically consistent one was "lying", and it was against the teacher's religion to lie, so the teacher would not use the student's chosen pronoun. Did I miss something?
I think we're looking at this the wrong way.

The reason Microsoft killed 16 bit support (In 64 bit editions of Windows) is that very few people were actually running 16 bit apps at that point. Where Microsoft made a decision based on what their users were actually doing, Apple has a made a decision based on what it wants their users to be doing.

The amount of time isn't really relevant. If lots of your users rely on 32 bit software, you should put in the effort to make them work. Apple products are expensive, and I think it's reasonable to expect this in return.

My point is that this decision from the Chrome team even breaks Google's own software.

This emphasises the craziness of the unilateral decision by the Chrome team which is essentially saying: "we, the Chrome team are correct and everyone else can go jump in the lake".

I'm not suggesting that Google should have secret special ways to do things.
Does the swap in the position of the two cities compromise the findings in any way? If not, it's an irrelevant mistake like misspelling a word. What do you expect them to do? retract the paper because they misspelled a word?
I'm not sure if it is related, but going from Linux kernel 5.2 to 5.3 on Arch makes my laptop constantly spin the fans, and it runs considerably more hot. I tried upgrading, and downgrading a few times, but 5.2 results in a much cooler laptop for me, so I've disabled kernel update for now.
Trivial errors can slip through the cracks easily.

For example, people sometimes misspell “would’ve” as “would of” even if they actually know that the latter spelling is actually incorrect.

Pointing fingers is easy after the fact, but spotting every possible error all of the time – no one is able to do that.

I’ve even made that very same spelling mistake you did a time or two myself even though I try really hard to be correct in spelling and in all aspects of grammar, and even though I am well aware that “would of” is just plain wrong. We all slip up, and sometimes we do so in embarrassing ways. Especially when we are lacking sleep or when we are otherwise exhausted.

> The degree to which radically far left ideology is taught in university is one of the most prevalent contributors to the current political schism.

I'm super curious to know where you are getting this from because I went to a public state school surrounded by cornfields in the midwest and this wasn't my experience in any way shape or form. I cannot recall any my friends changing their political stances, but then again, we didn't talk politics really. I do know quite a few though that came in republican, left republican, and voted for trump.

> Most notably, one's racial and gender identity are brought to the foreground as bar none the primary contributors to the outcomes an individual will encounter. Not too far behind is the usual suspect of economic class, where "boomers" and "landlords" are the new bourgeois, and debt-laden millennial college graduate is the proletariat class.

I cannot ever recall having had a single conversation in college about any of this.

> The degree to which people are skeptical of markets and a market value associated with their actions is so immense, that the idea that someone with a CS degree having a vastly greater market value than an individual with a degree in Critical Race theory is simply met with derision akin to "but muh STEM."

I'm probably unique in this case as I took multiple economics classes and read probably a dozen more textbooks in my spare time and the answer to this became quite obvious with just basic econ. It's a shame some/more (my highschool incidentally did require one consumer economics class) economics isn't a required course.

What I've found worked well is to have a conversation about something they've built in the past. Ask them questions about it, like why certain architectural decisions were made, what constraints they had to work under, what issues came up, and how they dealt with them. I've even hired without seeing a single line of code. You of course have to change tactics when hiring junior devs, and would probably want to see SOME code in such a case, but regardless, just talking about technical subjects they claim knowledge about is usually enough to discover how deep that knowledge goes. If they have any code at all in the wild, I'll look at it to get a fuller picture of their abilities, but I won't require it.

If I want to see code, I'll tell them beforehand that I want to build a little project together with them (less than 50 LOC) that does this one trivial thing, and that they can write beforehand if they want to. Then when they come in, we either build it together if they haven't done it beforehand, or we change the specs if they did. And no, no bonus points for doing it beforehand. That's just so that they can feel more comfortable in the codebase if they feel it's necessary (being nervous in the interview and all). I'm most likely not going to compare their code to others; I'm only interested in whether their code meets the company standards.

I've also fired many people. It's not hard to do, nor does it cost much.

So many of these recruitment processes are predicated on the principle of "what if someone lies to us?" for fear of hiring the dud. But in reality, it's so hard to bullshit someone knowledgeable that the actual risks are tiny.

Yes, I've encountered people who couldn't code. I've had such resumes passed to me by people (usually non-technical, or recruiters) telling me how awesome this person is (because they don't know enough about the subject matter to tell the difference). But it takes very little conversation about any topic one is knowledgeable in to sniff out someone's bullshit.

Think of it this way: You have a leak in your house and hire a plumber. The guy comes and tells you that you need this and that. How do you know he's telling the truth? Now imagine that you're a plumber who's been asked by a friend to sit in on the conversation. How long do you think it would take before you can confidently call bullshit on what he's saying?

If YOU know your shit, you can tell when other people don't. And if you DON'T know your shit, you're going to have a hard time no matter how much code they throw at you.
"as climate change makes wildfires more frequent and intense."
That's reporter bias. I'm not saying it's right or wrong but to throw that in there is clear bias.
I see this an inherited technical debt though not a flaw in principle. It would be nice if we could solve this at the foundational level instead of forcing every dev organization to struggle with it on their own.

Edit: I think we’re getting there though, with all the efforts going on with containers, webassembly blockchains, ipfs and so forth it’s getting closer
Actually not. It's very hard to internalize the concepts before you've used them!
Surely there’s a way to check if a field has some kind of programatic interaction like typeahead. Maybe check for that before taking over with autofill? I don’t know - maybe that would break spec or something - I’m not a browser developer. I just know the pain of autocomplete=“off” not working as expected.
The Norm is changed by the trouble makers and impulsive people who don't think about the long term consequences. Being selfish I don't want to be one of them but i am very glad they exist.
Admittedly, the viewport units are just all-round badly thought out and fundamentally broken. (The corresponding problem with vw is that the viewport units includes viewport scrollbars, so that on a page with vertical scrolling, `width: 100vw` will cause horizontal scrolling on platforms where the scrollbars take space.)

The legit organisation is the Bujinkan[1] run by grandmaster Hatsumi [2] (although some other guy claims to hold the lineage apparently Hatsumi has "the scrolls" that get passed from grandmaster to grandmaster). There are Bujinkan schools all round the world. Make sure you find a teacher who regularly goes to Japan. If you're interested, check it out.

Ninjutsu isn't like other martial arts because it's a combat art, it hasn't been diluted to be a sport. In my experience (former black belt but haven't trained in years) training is fun and generally safe (unlike say Krav Maga where every time I've been to watch a class someone's been hurt).

It is theoretically possible to bury every transmission line through remote country brush, only as long as there’s anyone left in CA willing to pay to draw electricity from the grid by the time they’re done doing it.

Remember state-wide we’re talking about ~$5b of energy (generation cost) per year. How much do you want to pay to transmit that $5b of energy?

Impressive. In the article he claims to have achieved transistor gate length < 5um (ie 1975 tech level) with test features as small as 2um.

These people are amazing and their efforts are seriously cool. Props to all of them.
What makes me doubt the story is that these boards should be all over the place. If you did sneak parts into the supply chain, you’d have no control over where they went, so there should be dozens, perhaps hundreds of companies, government bodies, etc with these things.

Given this, we have to believe that Apple, Amazon etc lied about this, knowing that there would be massive amounts of physical evidence easily available to rivals and security researchers, any of which could prove they were lying at any moment. Why on earth would they take such an insane and unnecessary risk?
I was thinking the same, websites should just have a big popup somewhere saying that the website might not work on Google Chrome, because it is W3C compliant and Google Chrome doesn't implement W3C standards, whith links to download alternatives browsers.
I fly United a lot and get silver status almost every year. I've had them occasionally re-assign me to a middle seat after I reserved a specific aisle seat at purchase. United does the same crap as the rest of the airlines.
I am guessing this isn't what you wanna hear but, They don't do a post hoc calculation.

It is usually the salary + stock award that will vest over 4 years. For most companies with a flat vest, the total will come to 500k/yr for certain levels.

The appreciation is all yours. Future perf bonuses which will be each 6 months or a year are on top of this. Some companies do adjust for what you're making in that year and cut down the perf bonus (In a previous company I once got a promotion without any stock because our stock had tripled in the time...) - but these companies have a serious growth outlook. Once the stock flattens, there will be a major drain and they know this.
I think I’ve just read too many complaints about car brakes being misspelled.

Google slaves came to downvote you after someone said this on their internal chat lol.
The Supermiro story was quite fascinating and I absolutely believe in its feasibility. We know that China attempts to hack into American security and government systems, so it raises a very valid fear that a company like Huawei could, and likely would, do something like this.

That whole story was just to easily - and too quickly - dismissed by the major companies...
How does this stand up as a post-mortem? Sufficient? Is there a standard for post-mortems?
It’s more the 20-year old Carbon API set (parts of which are 30+ years old like QuickDraw) than x86 itself. Apple doesn’t get to drop x86 support from Intel’s silicon (like they did with 32-bit ARM on iOS).
That's focusing on a small % of rich.

Even to keep among the 'rich' list assuming you inherited it all takes enormous talent because money inflates away.

There may be a bigger incidence of luck (I am not sure of this either btw - almost all the contacts you get as a rich person are very much the effect of you being rich) but unless you're well prepared to take full advantage of it, there will be no returns.

What I will concede though: Luck when you're poor might mean securing a week of food. Luck when you're a billionaire probably means the stock market goes on a 15 year bull run.

Anonymity is weakened if we tie authentication to biometrics. Something you know (as in password) is always theoretically more secure than something you are (your physical characteristics).

Ask HN: What is a good way to coordinate online for a technical working group?
We have been considering Slack, Whatsapp, Telegram or even plain old mailing lists. Are there any other alternatives? Which ones are the best for a technical working group? Salient features that we are looking for:

- Ability to look at archives

- Multiple threads

- Good desktop support

- Ability to support technical notation

- Support for media and pdf
We are arguing that support for older versions of software is important, be it operating systems or client software. Support here means "keeping things running as they are", translating primarily to security patches with no frills attached.

Everyone is happy that Debian Unstable offers brand-new software in a rolling release, but their up-to-date LTS offering is also highly sought after.

Um no. The user Name or ID is to identify.

The password is to secure that identity. With TouchID or FaceID you are using them for both. Which reduces security.

> then a password or as you say "secret" is not required at all anymore

Definitely incorrect. Someone can cut your finger off, lift a print off your coffee mug, extract it from a selfie etc. There's been dozens of ways to exploit over the years, many of which have hit HN.
> small company

iirc they have well over 200 employees at this point.
Anonymity is of course weakened, but that is a different debate. Currently there is no anonymity at all if your account is linked to your email address, which you've also used to register your online banking account, your credit card verification, your PayPal account, etc. and when you have your mobile phone number confirmed, etc.

A password gives you 0 extra anonymity in this case. All it is used if for "identifycation" and in this regard it sucks in comparison to true biologial identification.

Please go read the spec, you will find that Chrome is perfectly compliant with it regarding the autocomplete attribute handling.
Completely agree.

I think society is too focused on instruments invented for violence and defense instead of violence(and defense) itself.

And yet my original statement is still accurate, as i said there is a consensus that dangerous things should be somewhat limited in use by 'dangerous' people. Like cars are.

Regarding guns. Instead of arguing should everyone have unrestricted access or not(like media is portraying it) people should talk about solutions that wouldn't involve government, because it's the only compromise those two camps can find(pro and anti gun).

P.S. most 'mass shootings' in us(in terms of media, when a few people got shot by single shooter or something like that) happened with illegal guns, which means instead of trying to create more regulation, people should figure out why current regulation doesn't work. And if there is no clear reason. Try other methods.
