Have you ever had to work with RMS when young women were in the room? Have you ever been called by a woman who has locked herself in a conference room to get away from RMS? Have you ever had to deal with the legitimately batshit crazy narcissism of RMS and decided that the guy was capable of pretty much anything? Well, I have. I have dealt with him a small number of times for no more than a couple of days together and in those short times he did literally dozens of things that indicate he is either nuts, a total calculating mysoginist or worse, and that he is unable to be made aware of the fact that you don't touch women's asses without their consent, that you don't corner young women in a room, and the list goes on. He can't be told. He doesn't believe it. He's not all there. And THAT is why he took the fall. I'm absolutely sure that this was the straw that broke the camel's back for MIT and everyone else that has had to deal with his shit.

Personally speaking, I'd love to, but I'd then have to figure out how to make them work with an IDE. I'm very tired of waiting for record classes to show up and I could have written a (to be clear: inferior) set of stuff around regular classes that magics one into "everything is readonly and we autogenerate a `copy` method", much like Kotlin does for its data classes...but my IDE isn't gonna understand it unless I do a lot more work, and so I never bothered.
Parking is still free at Planet Hollywood for now.

But yeah, the surroundings of Las Vegas are great for nature lovers: Red Rock, Valley of Fire, and Mount Charleston are all within an hour drive, and there are a good number of national parks within day tripping distance.

Extracting strongly typed data from business spreadsheets
Having multiple tabs (or "too many tabs") is a neat and very visible way to keep track of what's to be read and processed. It does result in keeping things for far too long sometimes, but there is no better interface that surfaces all the different sites/URLs to be processed. It's very useful when you're troubleshooting or researching something (could be some tech stuff in general, some software development/debugging stuff or anything else you're researching).
> When did they start charging for parking at the casinos on the strip?

Years ago, sadly. And it's not just that it's no longer free, it's actually creating more traffic. The whole Vegas experience is non-trivially worse for it.
Just Google tracking everything you do in their browser, and preventing you from blocking other trackers.
In fact that description is even more wrong since every RCS has a copy of the checked out tree -- that's the whole point of an RCS!

With git (why does that article insist on spelling it "Git"?) you have a copy of the whole tree, so every clone can also be a an upstream tree for somebody else if desired.
When it involves banking it’s worse. Cause financial laws. And regulators.

Anyways I should get back to building genuinely nice replicated dbs with normal / actually good db perf and nice programming tools. This whole blockchain nonsense is kinda like the first data science fad wave. Educating folks about a set of vocabulary they didn’t realize they lacked before. In this case how to do nice transactional effect deterministic composable programming with first class identity, ownership and authorization. Juggling how to attack closed membership federated generalized paxos and nicely marrying linear logic with Dependent types for the internal rep plus how to do humane pki is a lot ;)

It's a pretty good introduction to embedded programming, with several projects included. Valvano's course at University of Texas is also available as a MOOC.

Your example shows exactly why this idea is flawed. Three competitors is what is called an oligopoly. There is nothing healthy about that.
"Embedded in the code was a file path labelled "get-admin-users." He simply copied and pasted that back into the URL bar, and then suddenly saw a list of admins, including their usernames and passwords."

Its almost like you were asking for it. I dont even keep plain text password on my local machine.

I was thinking of webkit too, but I'm not aware of any browsers expect Safari and the Linux browsers you mention. Neither seem to be cross platform or practical, "viable" alternatives to Blink domination.
Is that just a rant or do you have an actual reason to call TrueCrypt crappy? It was at least somewhat solid and it definitely had a great mindshare at the time. It wasn't niche.

Also, describing small-scale intervention in cryptography by services "mythologic" in a thread about news about large-scale intervention in cryptography by those services is a bit odd.
Just restarted for the new release, but I currently got 3 windows with a total of 73 tabs (no shame please ^^) and just focused each of them to ensure they are loaded due to the restart.

Waited a bit and now have:

* Resident Set Size: ~ 500 MB

* Virtual memory: ~ 3300 MB

Not much, IMO, especially as virt. memory doesn't tells one much.
Uber IPO fallout: Why some early employees are stunned by tax bills
Unless you're a bootstrapped startup with just a couple people, paying the AWS bill is not something the engineer probably thinks about too much. Setting up a new billing account with another company is just enough friction to just use whatever AWS offers and call it a day.

Also, most employees aren't really incentivized to reduce or minimize infrastructure expenses.
There's a slight possibility that you could construct an SVG that would load another resource, but it shouldn't (as in RFC 2119 "MUST NOT") be possible.

Most of them make you flash your room key, but they don't really check to see if you're a current guest.

Edit: A few of the pools allow swim-up gaming. I believe they are legally required to allow you into their pool if you say you want to play blackjack there, since they can't offer private gaming

Edit 2: Some of the casinos have "Pool Parties" or "Day Clubs" or whatever, usually loud, booze-soaked affairs with big-name DJ's, which you do not have to be a hotel guest for, but you do need to buy tickets.
Migrating to a microservices architecture is almost always a pointless technical exercise—you’re right about that.

But it’s not a pointless business exercise. It creates firewalls between parts of the product which allows teams to operate and scale independently.

It’s one way to create the conditions to grow from a 50 engineer org to a 500 engineer org, if that’s your business goal.

Whether that’s a good business goal is another question, but it’s not a technical question.

This Wuhan Fever is getting scary, the government is saying they have it under control but then we see hospitals being built in less than two weeks. People being disappeared for reporting on infections and all this is happening while the virus continues to spread. Wuhan Fever was confirmed in a case in Mumbai 10 days ago, I wonder how they will be able to keep it contained there?

Maybe they should rename Wuhan to Racoon City!
I have recently worked on software testing for a roughly analagous project to Starliner. The answer is thorough simulations and ground testing. Flight code should have essentially 100% coverage in unit tests as well.

You can do a pretty decent simulation of a space mission on a powerful cluster. You then plug in your simulated spacecraft and run the real flight software. Reentry is easily the most critical phase of flight for a crewed spacecraft, and they should have absolutely tested and caught this flaw in simulation. Ground testing could have also checked on the actual spacecraft that the correct valves were actuated when commanded to.

If I were to speculate, this suggests a pretty large disconnect between the software and hardware engineering teams. The software team should have been able to identify that the wrong valves were being actuated.
Technically all SQL compiles into a single line.

Less pedantically you can quite easily and elegantly drop nans, str->float, perform just about any operation over a rolling window and perform trig functions on it. Generally in a much more sane way than pandas.

In my life as an analyst and data scientist I've found SQL to be far, far superior to pandas for something like 90-95% of tasks.
We live in an attention economy. Anything not insightful or meaningful is going to consume time that could be used for better things. What that is, is up to you!
I just tried a few examples and it always returned the good word to me.

I'm going home -> Je rentre a la maison

Home sweet home -> La douceur du foyer (the translation is weird but the word foyer was expected)

I feel at home -> Je me sens chez moi (this one is particularly good, it didn't translate the word home directly)

Can you share your exemples where it fails?
I wonder if, or when computing will be superceded as the main driver of innovation. In 1950 computers existed but you couldn't have guessed that computation and the innovations derived from it would eat the World. What exists today that will transform the World again?
For me, what works best is to kickstart the day by checking something out of my todo list. Every morning, I choose a small task which shouldn't take more than 2 hours to complete, trying to have something to show for. The rest of the day using flows naturally afterward.

I saw this article and that is exactly the first thought that popped up. Second thought was why is Washington Post feigning ignorance of this fact.
Author here, thanks for the question.

For one we thought they'd care about TAM — most did, but the way the cared differed. In other words, some immediately required a firm answer to "How can this become a billion-dollar business," while others asked questions that seemed to pressure test our hypotheses and assumptions, but were more interested in quality of thought rather than our ability to see the future.

We thought they’d care about product mockups, but most didn’t. My assumption is that they knew it would all change drastically (they were right).

They did care a lot about how prior experiences would confer advantages, so we ended up leaning into that heavily the more we pitched.
You aren't missing anything. I use B2 along with Restic to backup my Linux machines since their standard backup solution doesn't support Linux. It costs me around $1/month to backup my primary desktop and two laptops.

They had a blog post about doing this a while back, so they are definitely aware of the use case: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backing-linux-backblaze-b2-du...

I still use their standard backup service for my family's Windows machines since its more "batteries included".
I can recommend https://www.railstutorial.org/book for Ruby on Rails. It's practical and concise and there's not a lot of unnecessary fluff.
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, where the reader implements a Lisp
I established a wiki where I use to work. I was quite efficient about keeping it up to date and well categorized. I found it quite useful for not having to re-work out issues I had already solved. It was easy to search and correctable. I gave the people I worked with full access to it. Most of my colleagues ignored it. A small handful utilized it as much as I did. Some would even go back and edit articles and make it much more readable. I found it to be a very useful tool which increased my productivity immensely. I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of use it got from the majority of the people I worked with. On the other hand they wouldn't utilize the version control system I maintained for us either.
Have you not read the MANY first hand reports of what the guy did on a daily basis? He is not a good person and his interaction with women, particularly young women has been reported on, so, so, so many times by so many people. Look around, man. I agree, who cares about his crazy ideas. I agree, who cares about his being an insufferable human being. There are not crimes. They way the guy treated three women in my offices over the course of two days in 2013 ALONE was reason enough for him to not work for MIT.
I've read mixed reviews about Upwork (low quality work, people not being paid etc). What are better alternatives to find freelancers?

No question about that. I’m just pointing out the extra scrutiny to something I believe we see in the average VC portfolio and the average startup.
+1 I have the same question and would like to read replies.
You are missing the point - sure, everyone copies great ideas from their competitors. What Steve Jobs was mad about was they copied the ideas without letting him know they were working on a competing product. This helped them deliver a competing product much, much sooner and did cause Apple some business loss.

So from that perspective, he is right to be pissed and they did "steal" Apple's "innovations".

If Google did not have the early access to the prototypes from Apple, an ios like Android wouldn't have come so soon after iPhone's success became apparent. Apparently, ios like Android was launched within a year of the first iPhone. If Google had no idea about ios, they wouldn't even have devoted so much resource to Android (which they had bought to put pressure on the carriers and use as a negotiating tactic). And if they had started developing Android after the iPhone, Android OS would have taken more time to develop and launch. And who knows, by that time, another mobile OS (blackberry or Windows) could have become the number 2 mobile OS.

I'm somewhat sympathetic to the "college should be trade school" approach, and I think there should be some of this. Yet, you'll spend your entire career learning new practical tech like "websites and apps". In my experience, if you don't do the theory in school, you probably never will. It usually doesn't matter, but it seems like engineers that lack this often have blind spots that sometimes do matter, and they don't even realize it.

Beyond that, I spent a ferocious amount of time in the computer labs getting the "trade school" part of my education on my own while I was taking the theoretical coursework. Kind of two curricula for the price of one. I think this is the best path for someone who really wants to be at the top of the field.
Cash: Weekly Earning Statistic for February
given high hourly rates for engineers - what does $1000 buy you?
Since you use Stripe you receive directly money from customers (100K USD annually according to https://patwalls.co/2019-going-full-time-as-a-founder ) without an intermediary to handle VAT / GST

how do you handle VAT / GST globally ? Are your customers restricted to some locations ? Do you file VAT / GST return only for a few states ?
All those words, and it never answers the most pressing question: is this philosophy turtley enough for the Turtle Club?
There are usually many reason:

1. Scale - S3 is big - really really big! You don’t need to care if you store one KB or several petabytes.

2. Tiers: the default on S3 is several way replicated storage with 11 9s of durability with high availability. However you can select from cheaper options with the trade off you are happy with.

3. Cost: S3 has reduced prices several times, you can be reasonably sure your costs will go down over time on per unit basis.

> This is the problem with nationalistic rhetoric. Because it is about a place, and not about any real principle in particular, it easily spirals out of control (with vigor!) in whichever random (or maliciously designed) direction.

A nation is not merely a place, and America is a nation based on principles; mere loyalty to the abstract of the territory is not recognizably American.
I agree and disagree at the same time. I agree in that, education and mentorship is definitely helpful and part of the equation. I disagree that cash is not relevant to that same equation though. I think any reductionist argument will be flawed one way or the other, cash is not all they need, but education is not all they need either. And I'm sure there's even more variables at play.

I also want to say, having an iPad or two, a PS4 and cable TV, that's not really a good indicator of wealth. People's top expenses are generally housing, transportation, utilities and food, possibly healthcare if you need it. In your example, rent is subsidized, that means the top expense is minimized and a lot of savings comes from that. That said, I don't think its logical to say that the savings from holding off from buying two iPhones, an iPad and a PS4 can match that. Rent average price for a 2-bedroom is 1200$. That means in 2 or 3 months of rent, you've already purchased 2 iPhones, an iPad and a PS4. So no one can pay their rent by simply not buying these things. So I'm challenging your quote saying: "My neighbors have money". Do they really?
> Advertising's sole purpose is to make you feel inferior/incomplete/inadequate without shiny new X

I disagree with this. I’ve never felt "inadequate" because of an ad.
Credit card transactions are safer than debit card transactions because if something goes wrong, banks are more likely to investigate and reverse the transaction. You are technically spending their money, not your own. I thought it's common knowledge.
Just to humour you, I work in tech, I have a 4 year old mid-range phone, 4 year old mid-range laptop, no cable, no TV, except for some gadgets that increase my quality of life both mentality and physically, I don't smoke and rarely drink but I do buy the best quality food that I can for cooking and rarely go to restaurants.

Since I don't come from money, I try to save as much as I can so I can buy my own place and start my own business in the future.

Meanwhile one of my youngest friends who works as a bike food delivery agent, owns a MacBook Pro, the latest iPhone, a PS4 with an ever increasing library of games, goes clubbing a lot and complains he can't find a good job.<face:palm>

Unfortunately, the latter example is an ever growing category in Europe of future failures since youngsters are told they can be and do whatever they want and opportunities will just come to you if you're patient and if that fails, the government is there to support you.

Not saying I'm a poster child for financial success, far from it, I have my own guilty pleasures that keep my sanity intact, everybody has, but most people born in lower class families seem to be clueless about how to get out and it ain't by frivolous spending.
Its far but the business center in South SF is wonderful in the mornings. They open at 7 and its basically a ghost town.
Show HN: ProductHunt for Sneaker Drops
The popular belief is that the CIA and its intelligence colleagues will go to any lengths to protect its power and secrecy. But apparently a Crypto engineer discovered the secret conspiracy in 1977, and even fixed vulnerabilities on behalf of the Syrian state – and the CIA was content to leave him alone for the next 40 years?

> In 1977, Heinz Wagner, the chief executive at Crypto who knew the true role of the CIA and BND, abruptly fired a wayward engineer after the NSA complained that diplomatic traffic coming out of Syria had suddenly became unreadable. The engineer, Peter Frutiger, had long suspected Crypto was collaborating with German intelligence. He had made multiple trips to Damascus to address complaints about their Crypto products and apparently, without authority from headquarters, had fixed their vulnerabilities.

> Frutiger “had figured out the Minerva secret and it was not safe with him,” according to the CIA history. Even so, the agency was livid with Wagner for firing Frutiger rather than finding a way to keep him quiet on the company payroll. Frutiger declined to comment for this story.
> Can you articulate why do you think a single engine is terrifying?
