We did something like that one place, but a longer survey and on a friggin' 1-10 scale, which tells me whoever set it up didn't know how to measure things or didn't care enough to do it right.

Predictably, 7 ended up equalling "pretty shitty".

[EDIT] in case anyone's wondering what's wrong with that, it's the same thing that can make a top-50% score in IMDB still very bad, plus everyone using different standards for what the numbers mean—with that many available it'll happen even if you try to label them. Scale compression plus no common understanding of what the scores mean. That particular case probably needed no more than four options, maybe even just three.
ARM SecureZone is an odd choice on a platform that's aiming to be highly trusted. It's got a very weak security model compared to isolated TPMs (like the two that they have on-board as well). The boot-chaining on this looks like it's entirely reliant on the TrustZone separation, not on either of the two on-board TPMs, nu?
Work is where I go to offer a service and expect a fee in return. I want a workplace that is civil. It's not somewhere where I expect to share my emotions and not expect that to be somehow used against me ( am not saying every place I worked was like that, but I've seen and heard of enough to be careful with what I share).
I just tried doing exactly that, with a fully working out of the box mate and i3 and it just made things slower, and somehow most shortkeys stopped working in Sublime Text (I didn't even expect for that to get broken). And yes, all 4 of those are accessible via my terminal so it's not like I didn't have them.

Literally didn't add anything or make it remotely MATE-like. I did not investigate further. Ubuntu 18.04. Would not reccomend if anyone else thinks it works out of the box after reading this comment.
I have no idea what game you are talking about?

Maybe it would be safe, but there would be a decent chance you would accidentally mess up sometime simple and makee the algorithm trivial to decrypt. How do I know? I've experimented with variants of hash functions and seen that happen.

IIRC Groestl if you switch the inputs between the P and Q functions you'll introduce fixed points ino Groestl. Or take your example of AES, if you changed AES such that the loop which ran shift rows and increase it to run four times, you'd massively damage diffusion and probably have a trivially breakable block cipher. Modern cryptographic primitives are very carefully built, minor changes can be disastrous.

Over the last 20 years I have been involved in probably 2000+ events in the Las Vegas area.

Hiking, biking, camping, car shows, rodeos, basketball games, art festivals, weddings, boating, skiing, funerals, plays, races, hockey, debates, conferences, air shows, auctions, skydiving, rallys, service projects, highway cleanups, fireworks, swim meets, concerts, you name it.

If you couldn't find anything going on, it may not be about the location. That list would probably look the same for a lot of people in a lot of locations. I'm pretty confident there will be some engaging event happening within 10 miles of wherever you are in the world tonight. Just because you don't participate doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
We've written a custom compiler from C# to Java and JavaScript based on Roslyn. Over time it gained more features and target languages as well (Python is in progress, we can also emit a working GWT wrapper for the JavaScript output, we can emit TypeScript typings or just normal TypeScript as well, etc.). For us this helps us in offering our products on various different platforms without having to write the code in different places anew. Since our product is a library, not an application, we couldn't really take advantage of existing conversion tools that mostly take the path of converting IL to hideous code and an entry point.

The whole thing is now used in basically every library build we have at some point, even for the C# versions, as it ties in with our documentation writing process and places the correct API names and links for that product into the documentation, even though the docs start with mostly the same content for each.

I agree that lack of documentation makes working with Roslyn a bit daunting at times, although the API is very well designed and oftentimes it's very obvious where to look for something. I was also very impressed by their compatibility efforts. We started while Roslyn was in beta and upgrading through the releases worked without a hitch.
This probably need rewording. This refers to the content on the landing page. Journal entries are locally stored.
I confirm that (read the book, as well as another from the same author).

Sure but D3 is a bit of a workaround. It can animate SVGs (well any DOM node) but doesn't create animated SVGs. By more or less requiring Javascript with a DOM implementation you're limiting D3's use case to browsers. Server side rendering becomes more tedious. D3 is a poor fit for something like an application dock where you don't necessarily want a whole HTML rendering engine.

Performance is definitely dependent on environment. For visualizations that use simple shapes like area and bar charts, force directed graphs, etc. SVG performance is pretty decent across the board. If you need to use complex shapes like for a cloropleth or globe, Safari chokes. I don't use Chrome anymore so I can't compare, but Firefox will happily render and animate a globe using relatively detailed (1:50m) data. With Safari you need to go out to 1:110m to get passable performance.

Let's not even get into Safari's atrocious font handling... ugh.
Artificial Intelligence vs. Machine Learning vs. Deep Learning
Dave Ackley, who developed the Moveable Feast Machine, had some interesting thoughts about moving from 2D to 3D grids of cells:

Very beautiful and artistically rendered! Those would make great fireworks and weapons in Minecraft!
From a different engineering perspective, Dave Ackley had some interesting things to say about the difficulties of going from 2D to 3D, which I quoted in an earlier discussion about visual programming:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18497585

David Ackley, who developed the two-dimensional CA-like "Moveable Feast Machine" architecture for "Robust First Computing", touched on moving from 2D to 3D in his retirement talk:

https://youtu.be/YtzKgTxtVH8?t=3780

"Well 3D is the number one question. And my answer is, depending on what mood I'm in, we need to crawl before we fly."

"Or I say, I need to actually preserve one dimension to build the thing and fix it. Imagine if you had a three-dimensional computer, how you can actually fix something in the middle of it? It's going to be a bit of a challenge."

"So fundamentally, I'm just keeping the third dimension in my back pocket, to do other engineering. I think it would be relatively easy to imaging taking a 2D model like this, and having a finite number of layers of it, sort of a 2.1D model, where there would be a little local communication up and down, and then it was indefinitely scalable in two dimensions."

"And I think that might in fact be quite powerful. Beyond that you think about things like what about wrap-around torus connectivity rooowaaah, non-euclidian dwooraaah, aaah uuh, they say you can do that if you want, but you have to respect indefinite scalability. Our world is 3D, and you can make little tricks to make toruses embedded in a thing, but it has other consequences."

Here's more stuff about the Moveable Feast Machine:

Hi - author here. I haven't used react-easy-state unfortunately. But like when building a company, the best product doesn't always win: the company that executes the best does.

Executing well includes building a great product, but it also requires marketing, which the Redux community has done a great job of to the point where it's the de facto solution.
Wow, you sure know how to creep people out. Good luck with that.
Thank you so much! I’m in between both and you’ve given me a reason to say yes to a random road trip
I think reversible SVG animation on scroll effects _can_ be quite neat, e.g. https://www.opencrux.com/

It's far preferable to most scroll-related effects I've seen.
Most of them have their own ATMs where withdrawals are free, and you have to pay for withdrawals from other banks' ATMs. Same for international cards: many ATMs now include a withdrawal fee for European cards, which will likely be a nasty surprise for many tourists.

A bunch of the banks have free withdrawals from all ATMs though. N26 is one of these, though as parent said, that's now limited to 5 per month. Several others are still free without limits.
Icons designed to be small have less detail and often rely more on the general shape, sometimes exaggerating certain features of the icon to make them stand out. Large icons or images can be filled with lots of rich detail. Scaling up a small icon often makes it look barren and generally out of proportion, and scaling down large, highly detailed icons/images makes the icon "noisy" and loses the essence of the icon.

This does not only apply to vector icons, by the way. Most highly polished icon sets will have an icon for different sizes. For example, in Windows, zoom the desktop icons in/out and compare.
It’s because we are intelligent that we want the bottle of vodka in the first place.
I haven’t been there in a few years and totally forgot about it, thanks!
I did what your article explained on Ubuntu 18.04 and fresh working mate (i3 also worked fine when I booted into it). At first, it looked good - it looked like MATE but the Windows were opening in a WM way! But then I pressed the Super key and it broke - it opened it as a whole new application but one that doesn't work - I couldn't search on click on the broken menu.

Maybe it works if you remove and replace a bunch of settings and applets and whatever? I don't know but given that the second thing I did was already broken I didn't invest more time.

Ubuntu 18.04. Would not recommend to those thinking it will just work as expected.
A use case I can think of is weather icons. Carefully designed icons on maps can help convey the difference between a shower and a heavy rain for instance.
I tried blocking the blowhards, but it didn't work. Problem was retweets and the 10% of the time someone sane decided to tweet something insane. Hard to counter that. My feed was just too leaky. So I quit. Things seemed to change around 2016...

Some parts of the UK banking are good,some are bad, and some are outright fully fledged idiocy. In mainland Europe it varies a lot depending on a country, i.e. Scandinavian banks in Baltics are pure shit.I had some funny situations with banks since I moved in to the UK:
Barclays refused to open a bank account because the letter from the job centre( Confirmation of National Insurance Number application) had its logo in black and white instead of color.
Santander issued some random card that is even more limited than simple debit card.
Walked into Metro bank to pay a bill and asked how much it'd cost me- the guy's jaw dropped on the floor and then he replied that it's free( then my jaw dropped on the flor because that was undheard of for me).
A guy I used to know walked into a branch of Santander with his employment contract with Starbucks asking to open a bank account.They refused.Walked out and went to the nearest branch of the same bank- they opened an account immediately.
And the list goes on and on.

There is also the risk of disrupting network operations at some unfortunate time, especially since these new networks are thought to be dominated by machine-to-machine communications.
I purchased an AppleIIe recently with a serial card and connected it up to my linux box as a dumb terminal. I was able to do load the Google home page and do a search and navigate to results via the keyboard.

I remember quite clearly in my childhood having an Apple IIe with a 2400 baud modem; I couldn't use BBSes that ran faster than 300 bau, because the built-in terminal was "too slow". I ended up getting Proterm and later talking to the author, who said he used interrupts and a buffer (I had no idea what that meant, and managed to fry my Apple later trying to invoke an NMI). ALl valuable lessons!

Ah yes, after spending a lot of effort to open a bank account to receive your monthly pay; it ended up some weird account were you could only use your debit card at their ATMs. Madness. UK banks are weird
The last thing I heard about them was that a major key people involved in the design left the company because he stopped being paid at some point for his work on the project. I was really looking forward to buy a new VCS but I'm afraid it would probably never materialize.

Sorry, I wasn't expecting this to HN before I had written some porcelain commands. I pushed an updated README that explains how to write commits with this.
Amusing, but less than the title suggests (no porcelain, no reliability properties, no error checking, etc).

Still, fun stuff.
I highly suggest giving Rider (also by JetBrains) a try. They run most things in separate processes/threads instead of running everything in the UI thread like VS does. It's almost a drop-in replacement.
I kinda felt like this at first, but now I'm so fast by the time the cashier looks up, the terminal already beeped and I'm out the door.

You can double tap to pay even before the reader is ready, so that once it is, the transaction happens instantly.
Hey - author here. This is my first time hearing of alt.js. How does it compare to more popular solutions like Redux and MobX?

For the blogpost it makes more sense showing an example implementation IMHO.

And in some places, it's easier just writing it out than deal with the process to add a dependency.

I'm surprised that Samsung didn't release a cheap model like the S10e last year considering Apple is doing so well with their iPhone 11 strategy as well.
In many ways a modern Arduino UNO is just as comprehensible.
This is really sad news. I love Mathologer. This day sucks.
What would you suggest instead? It's a good way to convey unfounded paranoia or to acknowledge that what you're saying sounds like a conspiracy theory.
Agreed. Watching him debug something is very enlightening. The whole idea of setting things up so that he can manually trigger clock cycles to step through what the processor is doing was awesome.
Got it. If you don't have any data that's shared between pages, I can see how this works.
If the content isn't on the chain itself then the entire exercise is pointless since the content is the thing that people care about (whether they want the content to stay or go)
Once upon a time, there was an animation tool called Flash. It had a very simple interface, that focused largely on moving stuff around visually. Its timeline was easy to understand: one row for each separate object, with a keyframe that would store whatever changes you made. You could draw directly in it. You could import art from other programs and move that around. You could combine the two. Wanna do full, traditional animation? Flash could do it. Wanna do paper-doll stuff? Flash had you there, too.

Artists loved it. It got used for the web. it got used for games - it was really easy to animate some little critters moving around and start attaching behaviors to them, especially in Actionscript 2. It got used for animation. It's still being used for some animation - my former co-worker who's now heading the animation on Teen Titans Go used it to crank out a feature film alongside one of the last few seasons.

Then Apple killed it. The Flash plugin was a giant security hole, what with the animation files having no less than three possible types of code embedded in them. It didn't draw very efficiently, and it burned through battery like there was no battery. Apple didn't want any of these things on their brand new iPhone, and they captured enough of the market that "Flash" is now considered a dirty word.

Now we have SVG. Which you can animate via CSS. And we have people starting to try and make editors that can be used by non-programmers. But all of them seem to insist on exposing separate controls for every separate property, each with their own timelines hidden inside an object's timeline. After Effects is the model, and it's a slow, stiff, fiddly model versus Flash's ability to just lay down a keyframe and draw some stuff, or move a symbol around with a nice little free transform tool that lets you scale, rotate, and skew everything right there on the canvas.

You wanna make SVG attractive? You wanna see people playing with its potential? Go find some people who remember using Flash, who made cool animation and/or games, not programmers or designers. Get a copy of their favorite version running in a VM (me, I think it peaked at 5, I think TTG is currently on CC2015 [aka version 15]). Pay them to make a short animation, and watch how they use it, and make your editor able to act like that instead of like After Effects.

And then make it easy to export this stuff and put it on the web. One file to upload, please. One simple tag to dump into your HTML.

(But first check if Adobe Animate can export animations as SVG, because that's what Flash got renamed as once they had a working HTML5 exporter.)

(and also yes I am intimately aware of Flash's many flaws, don't bother listing them, I'm mostly glad to see it gone, but there were some things it did really well.)
Why pay people to do this when you can make a CAPTCHA that requires them to do it for free?

Eh, I wouldn't say that there's a perceived high bar at SpaceX or Tesla. At this point they're mostly known (within my corner of the aerospace world anyway) for working their employees to the bone. Very few people I know who have worked for SpaceX have lasted more than a year or two there.

Migrating banks puts your users through a migration themselves (new terms, transfers, new issued cards, etc). It's very difficult.

On top of that, their UK business wasn't doing very well.
