Uh, as much as I enjoy reading this, posting this on Reddit seems particularly unwise for job security purposes. This seems to be an ongoing incident and there's more than enough info shared to de-anonymize.
Every advanced tech has been used as a metaphor for how the mind works. People used to think the brain worked like a piston engine. Now people think the brain is like a computer. Some people also think we are a network ala the internet of biological persons. Lots of artists think in images. Some people see the brain as an evolving story. The people who have any idea how the brain works are those that have been studying it for decades, I would be interested in those metaphors.
It depends.

The problem was that SSL supported compression directly, so you could compress the encapsulated stream. What happens in HTTP is that, say the cookie header contained the user's session cookie, and the body was somewhat controllable by an attacker. (E.g., by making CORS requests in the background.) The attacker could repeat "Cookie: auth=a" many times; if your auth cookie started with "a", it would compress slightly better as both could get compressed together, things would be slightly faster, and an attacker could use timing information to discern that he'd gotten the first character correct, and move on to the second.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRIME

HTTP compression being mentioned in the article only compresses the body. It's still possible to execute the same sort of attack situationally if there's some part of, say, a response body that an attacker can control and a part that response body that the attacker doesn't control and is sensitive and wants to know and somehow only has access to the timing information.

While there is a Wikipedia article on this variant ("BREACH"), I think this is more informative: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/20406/is-http-c... ; it lists a decent example of trying to get at a CRSF token.

But generally, JSON responses don't mix secret data + attacker controllable data, I feel, so compression should usually be okay. (And IME, it's typically done.) SSL/TLS compression should usually be left off, as that seems much easier to exploit.
I see. It is not clear from reading those top bullet points alone that you are not suggesting I follow the "save as much as possible" strategy the whole calendar year, but only until I reach the 401(k) limit. There is also a bullet point "only invest in tax-sheltered accounts", but I could also save money in a bank savings account, which I would consider a taxable non-"investment" account.
Self-taught here as well, though I haven't done any knitting for nearly a decade now. It was always something for my hands to do while watching TV.
You linked climate data that included 1981-2010. When you actually search all of the historic data in the drop down, you'll find that there's no significant trend in # of days >35C since 1861. 1981-2010 did show 10.8 for that figure, but the periods 1871-1900, 1881-1910, 1891-1920, and 1901-1930 all showed around the same figure, at 10.8, 11.2, 11.1, and 10.2 respectively.

It looks more like a cyclical trend in Melbourne heat.
I’ve come to the assumption that either this happened already months ago, or the much more likely scenario that it’s probably largely fake (if based on a true story)
If you don't like using the words like "agreeableness", "conscientiousness" etc then just replace with "Trait A", "Trait B" etc.

In either case you will detect consistent differences between the sexes for the different traits, and the predictive power of the results remains unchanged.
I don't understand this article as applied to the interviewing experiences I've just had. The wide berth of interview questions I've had in the past does suggest that I do need to know quite a bit, and in addition, the slight mistakes I've made have led to many rejections.

It's not just knowing your comp sci basics such as recursion or closure or BigO, but knowing quirks in multiple languages, and know them well enough to catch them in a coding interview. If you don't get everything exactly correct, then you are rejected and labeled an imposter (and labeled so much so, Amazon will block you from any further interviews for one year).

It also takes knowing as many platforms as possible if one wants to be as employable as possible. The current hotness is React, but I've still seen some good Angular jobs out there, and knowing both to a high degree will make one a tad more employable. How much of an imposter am I if I know React, MVC patterns, but just a little Angular, and apply to an Angular job?

None of the jobs I've applied to are senior level, yet it makes me shudder in fear to ever interview again beyond the entry level. The imposter syndrome is real, not because of my insecurities, but because of the outcomes of the interviews I've had.
A brilliant summary for those not following closely. And then I look at the username to see who wrote this, turns out it was an immediately recognisable Rust and Compiler expert.
Most evidence points to this. Villages even predate agriculture and all the work associated with it.

There were still human groups such as the BaMbuti living nomadically into the 20th century.
very nice. would be cool if it used something like InjectionIII.
The conversation around artificial intelligence is more of a call to action for human intelligence to figure out what we need to do and how wield ML than it is a description of the fundamentals of the computing. Even if the results are mediocre in the extreme, you can bunch together a huge amount of social and business change under that banner. I'd argue that's why people have faith in AI not because of what a computer can do, but because it is a call to faith in humans ourselves to integrate the technology and all implicated changes to it's maximum potential.
This is similar to the argument used against science by religion in the past. I think the pursuit of science comes with the embedded belief that we can handle the truth.

Studying the demographics of different people can allow us to accommodate them better. Maybe instead of entrenching oppression it could lead to knowledge that overcomes it.
I agree with a lot of points that PG makes here. There is also a key component that he didn't really mention, a precondition of having kids, which is finding the right partner to raise them with.

While it is difficult to know how someone will bear up under the stress of raising young children, nevertheless, your partner's ability to shoulder the load with you in those first years will be crucial to your sanity and happiness.

So in a sense, for someone who thinks they want to have kids, the first question to answer is: what are the characteristics of the kind of partner who will work well with you to raise a child? How do you identify them and convince them to embark on that endeavor with you?

But these claims aren't extraordinary in this scientific field.

They may of course seem extraordinary to those not familiar with the science.

That’s a very colorful document, reminiscent of the excellent Unix Haters Handbook, but the first chapter is standard floating point stuff, common to every language. It doesn’t inspire confidence that the writer bothered to learn anything about the domain before deciding to write and complain.

Chapters two and three are the lesson to not use procedural language fundamentals if you want performance, and to instead use functional equivalents. Not exactly a language quirk.

If somebody has only ever used 2000s-era Java and C# and those types of languages, functional style programming will be a strange beast. But python has enough functional style things such as lost comprehensions, and I hear Java and C++ have gained functional style programming too, so in this day and age I’m not sure that functional style programming should be considered quirky.

The runtime performance is all due to the current implementation, not the language itself. I think JavaScript has far more quirks, it then it was also invented in an insanely short amount of time so that’s not too surprising.
I love how inquisitive my 7 year old daughter is. She doesn't want or take a simple explanation and I enjoy teaching her about seemingly mundane topics that she makes exciting for me again.
I was wondering more about screen door and texture aliasing effects because of barrel projections, etc.

Thx for the note on the vive
I believe there’s research showing that people are on average less happy after having kids, at least for a long period of time.

As a new parent of an 8 month old, I can certainly understand this, even though so far I personally feel much happier than I did before. I think a lot depends on your life situation. With reasonable financial stability, a flexible schedule, and a spouse who (happily) devotes most of her time to the baby, it’s overall a beautiful experience that has given my life a whole new sense of meaning, a depth of love I never knew I could feel, and lots of those peaceful moments pg talks about.

But take away one of those supporting pillars, and I could easily see the stress and responsibilities overwhelming all the positive aspects to the point where it might not be enjoyable anymore.

In terms of what it's used for, a more fitting comparison would likely be a Scitex and Hell prepress suite. You could pour a couple of million into that and feel there were things you'd left out.
Just out of curiosity, what do you believe the applications are as presented in the research?
"The tech industry"; maybe. "Hacker culture"; no.
If you see the results, you can also find negative correlation between stroke and the density of the western restaurants (french/italian or fast foods). What conclusions can you draw out of that? I'd probably just think this is just an interesting study that can't say anything with the results alone.
I think the counter examples have already responded.
> If my agreeableness is 1, what does that do?

Obviously, there is an entire literature that measures what it does in terms of life outcomes other than questionnaires.

If you'd like to learn something very elementary about a field you're completely unfamiliar with, you might be better off picking up a textbook, rather than borderline trolling of the "this entire field is nonsense, prove me wrong" variety.

Food fraud is potentially related to this correlation.
This comment is downvoted but I have to agree with this. Rarely, very rarely do these people ever get caught or have to pay back the ill gotten money.
Oh thanks for suggestion! It seems that InjectionIII is almost like nodemon. A bit concerned about its limitation (https://github.com/johnno1962/InjectionIII#limitations) but happy to give it a try
Flash supported Speex I wonder if that’s part of why it’s used
That's indeed the nicer way of paginating, but it breaks if the underlying resultset changes between requests. Which is exactly when cursor based pagination is generally used.
I feel there is some great unification of Information Theory, classical signal processing, and controls with machine learning. Fundamentally they are different angles of applying the concepts of dynamical systems to design widgets that do something useful. Things like this quote from the top:

> Information theory is a branch of applied mathematics that revolves around quantifying how much information is present in a signal.

greatly underappreciate the value of the theory as it applies to the theory of things like ML, and one day I think we'll have a unifying theory that enables engineers to design systems for ML with little ad-hoc methods and more theoretical bases as we design filters and controls today. The issue is the nonlinearity of the networks, but I think we'll find a way there through category theory and topologies.
Ok, thanks. I wasn't being snarky I was just curious
I don't have experience with a side project that has customers, but several times I did do a side project for a paying client.

It was one of the most stressful periods of my life. I was picking them up with another programmer, and I completely failed to understand the amount and the quality they would deliver. I solved it by working day and night for a year or two, or so.

I'd say, do try a project that has customers.
Think twice about a project for a client.
As that document says, the maximum match is 4% and the automatic contribution is 1% for a total of 5%.

1:1 matching seems to be reasonably common, but only up to a single-digit percentage of pay.
What is the connection between a correlation and an explanation? I see none. Zero. Nada.
My answer is yes: I give that up, for now. My health —- and thus a proper amount of sleep —- is more important to me than side projects. I intend on o ‘sit this one out’: wait a few years until my kid is old enough so that I have more time again. Before I had a kid,I already prepared myself mentally for this possibility.

This works for me because work is already plenty interesting. Things can always be more interesting, but I have chosen to optimize for my health instead. I also see kids as an investment: raising them takes a lot of energy and pain, but long term return is increased happiness, reduced loneliness. Think about how life would look like when you are 70 and have no kids.
That was a cool nightmare scenario story, but holy mother of mercy was it ever tedious to read!

I can tolerate some bad grammar, but somehow the combination of incorrect articles, words auto-spellchecked to something completely different, run-on sentences, and lack of punctuation, made it a real chore to read through without getting lost...
If we are to do that on a big scale it required massive infrastructure investment. Something we are nowhere near yet. Plugin hybrids offer a useful stepping stone.

VW have been making a lot of noise about their ID range lately but if you look at what they have in the pipeline it's mostly hybrid.
I was excited. But why ruby? Other tools are also ruby. I don't have appetite to hack in ruby projects.
> This demands the mastery of language which is a very high bar. Most animals haven't achieved this

Then avoid language as medium. Many animals can learn from being shown an action once and apply it to themselves.
In web dev I have observed the opposite trend: when I first started my career everyone was expected to be full stack and know how to deploy a thing. nowadays devs tend to be strictly front end or back end or dev ops, etc. Devs that can optimize a sql query, model a db schema and then write a well organized react or angular front end seem to be the exception not the rule.

Good concise article. Is there a tool to create such figures. They look really neat.
I think twice a week would be optimal. Every day is too much work, and every other day is still too often. Twice a week (I suppose Mon or Tues and Friday) would give us time to dig through major news cycles, catch up on analysis, and compare sources. The result would be a sort of annotated list of links to stories we view as important, with some commentary strewn in.

I can send over some similarly-themed writing my colleague and I did if you're interested in learning more.
Well, MS Exchange / Outlook has had this feature since a while so there's that.
“It’s getting hotter” was based on “all data” vs 81-2010. Which shows an increase. (>30, 30 -> 32.1 & >35, 10 -> 10.8)

Additionally based on an abc podcast, the signal, which stated that since 1987 summer temperatures have been above average.

Let’s not get into a climate change debate. It’s not going to get significantly colder to the point where these trains are going to run on time more often.
Heuristics for train delays: Does the train pass Frankfurt? Add 15-30 minutes. Otherwise expect your train within 5 minutes of its scheduled arrival/departure.
Should you be providing them with free cars as well? Where do you draw the line?
The case of the "Kakure Kirishitan" (lit: hidden Christians) in Japan is an interesting case. Essentially adherents to the Catholic faith during a period of persecution by the Buddhist/Shinto/etc in the 1600s.

They went so far as representing icons such as the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus with statues of what appeared to be Buddhas and Boddhisatvas in the same poses.

This variant ended up (as you might expect) slowly becoming something very distinct from traditional Catholicism. In general they merged back into the mainline Catholic faith when it was eventually permitted, but some remained separated, creating some really fascinating religious syncretisms.
There seem to be quite a few MOOCs available[1]. edX and coursera have content from big name universities, too

In German language, the word Zugzwang is also often used figuratively to describe a situation in which you are forced to take (unwanted) action due to external circumstances.

Example from recent news: Most online shops offer Black Friday deals. The ones that don‘t are „under Zugzwang“ to join them.
You have the same problem as Russia. Only a tiny part of the country/continent is populated, the population is spread along coasts, and even that not continuously. Building advanced trains is not economical, they won't service sufficient population per km traveled.
Why not Ruby? It’s a perfectly fine language.
>In the EU if you cross the road in a safe manner, cars will back off the accelerator. In Australia, it's a case you shouldn't be on the road, so they speed up intentionally to hit you.

Which is a questionable behaviour because the car driver is usually found to be at fault in most cases whenever a pedestrian is struck. The law favours the pedestrians over the car.
In the area in Stockholm, Sweden where I live we throw "all" garbage (we of course separate glassware, metal, paper, electronics first) in the same bin, but food waste in green bags. I don't know if it's robots that does the final sorting but I would believe so. Less than 1% of household trash ends up in landfills here.
OP here, since you are curious, this is why I decided to post this: as someone else has remarked above, there is a fantastic Stanford free networking course in Lagunita. It is the real thing, full force undiluted highbrow not dumbed down, unlike so many other moocs. Except, frustratingly, unlike the real Stanford course, the challenging labs are missing, so people were missing that necessary balance between theory and practice. But now Stanford has made said labs publicly available, this term. Given that this is AFAIK the best free networking course out there, I thought HN readership might be interested to know that now it's even better (and, as it happens, it was).

My father refused to pay money for the Apple // and IBM PC because they were too expensive. The Atari 2600 PC upgrade was a bust so he didn't like Atari 8 bit computers, so we got a Commodore 64 instead. I think Atari and Commodore made inexpensive computers that were part video game console. The video games were the real market.
I sympathize with this. Everytime I want to use flexbox, I end up searching and reading and rereading CSStricks' guide. And then experimenting until I get what I am after. One of these days I'll stick...
Don’t people do this regardless though? Most people mainly talk about themselves and their interests. Kids are just a very common interest.

There are also a lot of people out there who only talk about work, or tech, or sports, or who hooked up with who, and anyone else who doesn’t share that interest will be bored to tears hearing them go on and on and about it.
The aphorism that I'm familiar with is, "the wisdom of a crowd is proportional to the square root of its members."
That page is intended for a lay audience. I'm not sure a single sentence of the first paragraph is correct. Everything from the dates to the statements about mobility and nutrition are questionable or plainly incorrect.

Instead, here's Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers. From the 2nd ed., p. 200 on disease:

> An important cause of childhood death in many forager societies are infectious and parasitic diseases, including respiratory tuberculosis (TB), influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis, and diarrheal diseases resulting in dehydration.

> Among the Dobe Ju/’hoansi, disease, especially TB and malaria, account for 85 percent of childhood deaths ... and violence for 8 percent.

> Infectious disease (with most deaths occurring among infants and juveniles) accounts for 85–95 percent of Agta deaths

One weakness of current literature is that the mechanism by which adults get sick (contact with other adults) is radically different for living foragers than our paleolithic ancestors. With that said, the fact that we still have these epidemic diseases with us today demonstrates that they were able to survive in ancient populations (excepting plague, which is resident in marmots and only "accidentally" infectious to humans). Perhaps larger regional group sizes and a functioning long-distance forager trade network helped these diseases to survive where they struggle today, but survive they clearly did.
Any chaotic system (highly sensitive to initial conditions) is practically uncomputable for us, because we have neither the computational power nor the ability to measure the initial conditions sufficiently accurately. Whether there is some lowest level at which everything is quantized, or it's real numbers all the way down, is an open question.

I don't think your argument will seem compelling to anyone who doesn't already have a strong prior belief that the mind is non-physical.
I don't use Dropbox so I am wondering, is this fundamentally different from storing everything in S3? Is it like a single S3 bucket? Or multiple buckets on the same account?
Ask HN: Need to upload file to many sites. Is it possible to upload only once?
I need to upload a large file to multiple sites, each of which having an upload form that lets me choose a file to upload. In the end, I upload my file to each service separately. The problem is that my connexion is slow and that it takes considerable time to upload everything.

Therefore I would prefer to only have to upload to one service, and from that service be able to upload to any site. Is it possible to do this?
That's the nature of all situations in which "correlation is not causation".
