Thanks! Honestly, I'm right with you. I would love a physical copy. I did a bit of research and didn't find any great options for making a physical copy of a self-published book for the number of copies I'm expecting to sell (given it's a fairly niche technical area).

That said, if anyone has any great recommendations here, I'm all ears. Actual experience would be best if possible, rather than the first thing you see in Google :).
Opting out of targeted ads is NOT the same as opting out of tracking.
One way to push back is flagging, when appropriate. I have started flagging no-content comments (such as the pun threads) which I believe indirectly encourages this culture. The site mods are fairly responsive.
This is because he can't accept the face that CA implemented SIP before everyone else and what that implies about the administration's failure to recommend it. His politics are clearly driving his assertions.
Interesting. I haven't had that happen because I do split-tunnel, but I will have to keep that in mind in scenarios when I try to forward everything thru the tunnel. All I needed to do for split tunnel was just adjust the route metric. (https://tujun.ga/2020/02/18/wireguard/) Agreed about the lack of GUI though, I do wish there was a GTK applet for it.
I think he meant queries from caching nameservers that cloudflare does not control. I would argue the majority of queries would be fulfilled by these caching nameservers.
I'm building a web app that gives suggestions on what activities people can do during quarantine / at home. Getting Django set up and working was pretty straight forward. I think the only difficult part was dealing with the dependencies and the python versions.
Bear (rar!) in mind this will only work if you have the uplink bandwidth to do so.
I think comments are probably easier to interact with, but they're more hassle to set up and maintain :( FWIW, I often take interesting points from emails I get and add them as "updates" to blog posts.
> it did just occur to me that a HashSet could be used, which would save a small amount of memory without introducing the performance issue.

I was indeed thinking of keeping the "occupied" coordinates in a set-like structure. Not sure how a boolean is stored - is it 8 bits, or a single bit? Either way, just storing two (eg) 64 bit coordinates should trivially align (ish)?

The trick would be to quickly be able to go over all occupied cells and their neighbors in order to build "tomorrow's" board. I suppose the new board might serve as a cache/state helper of sorts, but I think the logic would have to be a bit more complicated.

Maybe it's possible to go from a 1d algorithm to a 2d one by making sure there's a list of occupied cells sorted by their place on a Hilbert curve?

My intuition tells me it's simpler to go center out, than row-by-row (if we store only occupied cells, we need to deal with the empty row "above" our first occurrence somehow - it might be easier to "push" out).

I'd probably have to try and sketch this out on paper though :)

At any rate, I just immediately though storing sn extra dead/alive bit seemed a bit redundant and possibly alignment unfriendly if only "really" needed a list/set of occupied cells.

But perhaps the most pragmatic way of changing just the data structure (and more or less keep the algorithm (with the caveat that I haven't actually looked at the code!))- would be to split each generation in two - a list of live and list of dead cells - each accessible via their coordinates in a quick manner.
I was a big supporter of what the Ext.net engineers do, and in a way I still do. Their tech is very professional and stable.

I stopped using them right after the price hike. IMHO, it is overpriced. Since I can get most of the same stuff done with other frameworks and mostly for free.

Nevertheless, their work on https://bridge.net/ is awesome.
It's not blown out of proportions. If anything the major securities issues went mostly unnoticed in the noise of the media trying to bank some ads revenues.

There were 2 RCE that would have allowed anybody to easily take over any computer using zoom. The first one last year was wormable, triggered by simply visiting a website with no interaction (like a javascript ad).

Other video conference tools don't have these because they didn't try to provide the same features or work around the OS.

Except for Skype, that still has one samba relay attack left like zoom, that went mostly unnoticed. From my research they had the exact same issue but blocked the RCE part in 2018 CVE-2018-8311 https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-8311
Not loud enough
What is clear is that as an entity heavily invested in cryptocurrency they benefit from peddling it to poor ignorant plebs. Maybe this article should start by first disclosing their large long position in cryptocurrency. This is marketing garbage, please stop posting trash like this.
Why do you think Amazon has stopped shipping everything but essentials?

It's not because they don't think people don't want all these things stuck at home..

Its because the entire warehouse process has been turned inside out and expanded with constant safety measures, wipe downs, disinfectants, etc. This slows down everything.

Amazon is doing a ton, and not out of altruism, but because it's the pragmatic thing to do.

The workers need to be safe so they don't quit and so they don't get sick.

We are just not bragging about it (internally or externally). And neither am I, I just feel the need to defend it from the narrative that the company is sitting on its billions while letting the mass of warehouse staff get sick and die, or whatever you are implying.
Kubernetes Elevator Pitch
I think Darwin gets special note for the fact that while there are many incredible works of theory in math and physics, there's really only one in biology: On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin.
Respectfully, language evolves over time and words change all the time, sometimes fairly quickly. The prevailing use of crypto right now is in the context of cryptocurrency. I'm not particularly thrilled with it, but I don't want to sound like a curmudgeon just because I'm set in my ways.
I'd point out that at least one reference to Cutler and Unix in the book purports to be a direct quote from one of the team. If you're going to argue that he just made that quote up, I guess I can't argue with you of course.
Shout out to Rick Houlihan! I even made my wife watch his 2018 talk!
Can we really just add the phrase “Winnie the Pooh” to any content or thread to make it inaccessible inside the Great Firewall (except for those stare-sponsored groups with special access)?

Seems like an unintentional DoS vector.

Great write up. I agree I do not trust them very much and would not use them on a network that has internet access.

They are a great cheap option when using their custom RTSP firmware with synology surveillance stations. I throw them on their own SSID that is isolated from other local networks and does not have internet access. The SS can reach into their network but they can't initiate connections out.

Still they briefly need internet when setting up to enable RTSP but I'm more concerned about them being remotely accessible at anytime and having access to anything else on my network. Even my setup would allow my email and the isolated network's topo to leak bc of brief internet access.
lol.. reminded me of some guy going to chick-fil-a and harassing their employees about being closed on sunday.

I remember some years ago, generating your data files directly into a web-enabled S3 bucket was all the rage. Basically, that's what is now being called "incremental builds".

It appears that the sad story of web development frameworks is that a new team will reinvent the wheel every year so that nothing will ever be fashionable and production-grade at the same time.

I have some internal C++ servers running for 10+ years now. I wouldn't be able to imagine that with Rails. When we set up our current website, AngularJS 1.4 was new and considered very fashionable. By now, everyone treats the entire AngularJS project as archaic.

I predict that in a year, there'll be a new hip web framework and its acolytes will then have their own Heureka moment with static files.
You beat the infection due to a skirmish between your 'standard' immune system and the virus infected cells. As soon as you get a full-on immune system response there is a change and some more long term effects come into play. Nature tends to be very efficient, engaging an expensive mechanism apparently leads to caching the knowledge so it can be recalled when required, but if the expense outweighs the cost of doing so then it stays on a one-off basis.

The longer you deal with biology the more impressive it all is.

I assume that this only works for total derivatives (e.g., with respect to time) not general partial derivatives (i.e., the n-th total derivative with respect to another variable), right? Otherwise how would one avoid generating massive amounts of code, and temporary data along with it, if I want to
Hotels.com is part of Expedia group. Expedia has 25k employees.

Things a UX/UI Designer Should Know
What would you recommend is better than someone literally searching for something you could provide?
By filtering out bots and giving you the number of visits rather than just pageviews, and also giving you data on things like screen resolution and time on page that can only be retrieved in javascript.
No, they issue licenses to broadcast on certain frequencies. And some of these licenses dictate what content can be shown and at white time of day (usually to the effect of restricting mature content to evening and nighttime airing). This is because of the nature of how bandwidth is publicly owned, and so the the public gets to decide how to allocate a limited resource. Fines exist to accommodate the fact that certain content can't be censored reliably (e.g. live interviews or shows where someone can go off script), while still creating a disincentive to violate the terms of the license.

Any of these publishers could sell tapes or dvds of these shows and face no fines whatsoever. Similarly, they could air them on the internet or on cable television that is not subject to public control of content. There's no restrictions on the content itself, there's restriction on the use of publicly owned bandwidth.
I hope this captcha is tor friendly.
The more the better. The US population is saturated with incompetence. We need fewer math illiterate science deniers and more people who know how to think.
He and Trump are both accelerationist candidates. Maybe the pandemic has reduced our appetite for it.

Forgive me for the political ignorance, I'm Swedish:

Won't a centrist Biden have a much better chance of winning against Trump compared to a super-leftist (even compared to Swedish mainstream politics) Sanders?

Isn't the whole point of your upcoming presidential election (I mean for the 80-90% or so non-republicans here on HN) to get rid of Trump and to get back to some kind of normalcy?
You would have to start by decoupling investments in China and Wall Street and many politicians will not allow that to happen.

Old papers by the likes of Djikstra and Hoare are good.

The writing of the times is amusing too
>They’re perfectly up front and obvious about it, not hiding anything.

Wtf, this is the opposite of "up front." You had to poke around and figure it out yourself based on a suspicion. Up front means that they just tell you, no figuring out required.
"Amazon Future Engineer" is a remarkably poor name for your free CS educational resources.
There's very few industries where that's true, and it certainly isn't at Tesla.
Curious, besides being a truly serverless and scalable database why else would one choose to model relational data in DynamoDB? For the 'single table design' scheme the author talks about you are in a world of hurt if you need new access patterns? which is highly probable for most systems.
Optimistic take: oh that's nice more educational materials

Cynical take: Damn they really want to pay Software Engineers less.
> We need to know if these are organs for circumventing the law of its member countries by spying on each other when spying on their own citizens is illegal.

This is a fact according to Snowden's leaked documents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

> Documents leaked by Snowden in 2013 revealed that the FVEY has been spying on one another's citizens and sharing the collected information with each other in order to circumvent restrictive domestic regulations on surveillance of citizens.

If they don't care about the rights of their own citizens, there's no limit to how much damage they're willing to cause to foreigners.

They come back in stock sporadically, probably worth it to check at odd hours.
No need to write -- just click on a star rating. I clicked 3 stars for that reason. But it functionally is phenomenal. Will honestly probably change it and write an actual review...
>I can prove there are no more busses and I'm 100% right, but I can predict 100% of the time it'll say "please try again".

I frequently run into the same issue of having correct answers rejected, and have read posts from many others who experience the same. At some point I started intentionally picking random squares for the first couple image sets. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to end up taking any more submissions overall than when I try to pick the right answers from the start.

Plus, polluting Google's free work data set ever so slightly gives me a small amount of pleasure.
The school needs an education account and students should be able to join meetings hosted through a school account:

> Students under the age of 18 should not go to www.zoom.us to create an account because (i) they should only be joining Zoom meeting sessions as participants (not separate account holders) through the School Subscriber’s account and (ii) minors are not permitted to create an account per Zoom’s Terms of Service. The School Subscriber’s account administrator (e.g., teachers) should securely and confidentially provide meeting information and meeting passwords to the student users to ensure the school can maintain supervision and control over its student users’ meeting experiences. If students have already signed up for individual accounts, Zoom can assist schools in fixing this.

The school should contact their account rep about this. I bet they can fix it quickly.
Plausible was hovering less than 50 users on its own web site, and I wouldn't risk sending my visitors to this relatively new web service either.

Analytics requires a lot of trust to not screw you up. It's a third party script that you add in pretty much every page of your web site. I'm still looking for a provider that I can tame with CSP rules, and comes with the most minimal things I need to know. A pixel tracker would have suited majority of us.
Google Analytics consultant here.

Actually, GA does have a creepy feature that lets you spy on individual users. It's called the User Explorer report (under Audience in the left-hand nav). It lets you page through each hit from a particular user. This is also the report that lets you process Data Subject Access or Deletion requests under GDPR or CCPA.
This reminds me of Volkswagen cheating on their emissions tests. Goodhart's law and corporate nature combine to erode trust most effectively.
Because it's managed and works "forever".
It's hard to say, I really do think that what the Zygote folks are trying to do is quite achievable, but I also worry that Zygote's prominence may have been bad for the Julia autodiff community.

A year or two ago, it at least seemed to be a much more vibrant situation where there was more effort going into lots of different approaches, but then Zygote really picked up steam and it seemed like it was going to solve all our problems and cure cancer so development on the other packages slowed down, but now the 'finish line' for Zygote doesn't seem to be as close as we initially thought.

A number of Internet personalities such as Twitch streamers were doxxed with a little help from Skype IPs. Maybe impossible to avoid without centralized hubs or an overlay network like Tor.

It is curious how Skype was started by Kazaa engineers basically to find a legit use for their p2p streaming tech, and now it's not even p2p anymore.
Right now, $30/mo is for access to Paragon and the your first 1,000 tasks. We provide additional pricing tiers for higher usage where the cost/task drops significantly.
You can opt out of all data sharing in Google Analytics on the account settings page.

There are also ways to opt out of ad targeting but that's irrelevant to this discussion.
Once you understand VC operators (grad, div and curl) and the associated intergals, Maxwells Equations are actually really intuitive and quit beautiful. I was lucky that the maths course I was on covered those a few weeks before we started electrodynamics. Plus I had Mary Boas Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences which teaches this material (and Greens theorem etc) very well.
Ah, yes. It's not the ignorant physicists' fault that Maxwell's theory hasn't got the attention it deserved. It's Maxwell's modesty's fault that set back the science of physics two decades. What a ridiculous notion.
Their own analytics dashboard is public: https://plausible.io/plausible.io
Yes, it can sometimes even pay out if you are furloughed with pay.
In this space I think wordpress.com provides a decent free tier, obviously only for wordpress sites, they have the pay for premium features instead of googles usage based policy.
If he "fought from within" then Amazon would probably just fire him. Corporations have little tolerance for labor rights initiatives and dissent.
i think the title is misleading. It says "Why you should stop using Google Analytics on your website" but it's content means "Why you should stop using Google Analytics on your website, and start using our software"
I think your assumptions might be wrong though, if I use the numbers from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r... and calculate for Italy I get 3600 car fatalities, and there are aprox 18000 deaths by covid with a lockdown on. Let me know if my numbers are wrong.
I use Photoshop alternatives because they're cheaper than maintaining a perpetual license/subscription, but Photoshop is the big gorilla because it is the best photo editing app in the industry today. Bar none. And that's what lets them get away with their pricing structure.

Nobody would pay for Photoshop if it didn't provide value.
What's the best server-side only, self-hosted analytics platform if I don't want to add any JS to the front-end?

Running nginx here
No, because the specification is more general than that. The specification is about being able to add a input/output transform step, so you can add encryption on top of WebRTC streams, via this new API.

JavaScript encryption/decryption seems to work fine for the most basic use cases, but if you have many streams you need to do encryption/decryption for you, you probably want to use native browser APIs for it or WebAssembly.
A crypto-mining botnet has been hijacking MSSQL servers for almost two years
Ooh, nice. I'll have to take a look at it again. That may be something that I accidentally broke in customizing my environment. I bound `C-c C-c` to look for either a Makefile or a SConstruct in the current directory, walking upwards up the hierarchy until one is found, then to launch either make or scons depending on which one is found. That may have been the source of my remote issues.
I tried to find a place to contribute on their site but it seems they are fully funded by 8 & 8.
It's utterly amazing that American society is so unhygienic that we still don't have bidets or washlets in common use.
How to Overcome Fear and Doubt
Already implied that in "truly serverless and scalable database". My point is that it would be very dumb to not use something like postgres for relational data unless you really need those dynamodb features.
I'm surprised this isn't a bigger story if it can be substantiated.

Can someone explain what the security trails site shows and how this confirms the allegations?
For me its almost like that. But I have like a vague visualization. Like I recall what it looks like to be standing in those positions or looking in that direction, but it's never a sharp or stable image. Rather very fleeting.

To me it's like there is a visualization ability that is turned all the way up when I am asleep and turned most of the way down when I am awake.
I went fairly far with this, creating a simulation of creatures I called worms using an unholy marriage of neural networks, cellular automata, and classifier systems (a pattern matching approach based on genetic algorithms). I wanted to see whether a population of "worms" with neural network brains would outcompete a population with classifier system brains.

Rust makes this both fun and a challenge - immutable variables and trait objects make simulation programming a bit trickier. In the end the project fell off a cliff when I got grumpy that I couldn't create a single templatized breeding function that could apply to both types of brains - because of those trait objects. It started to look like I'd have to unwind a lot of my design to rework it (a common experience in Rust!) and then I got a new job, and you know the story.

In every other respect Rust made this project a real pleasure - the tooling is great, particularly the compiler. It's been a couple of years, perhaps I'll dust it off again!

Because we are talking about a negligible amount of energy.

It would take more energy to build, install and maintain the equipment that would be able to do that.
I don't blame reCAPTCHA for existing, I blame Cloudfare for using. It made using Tor literally impossible. Hopefully this will be better.
You don't need framework libraries. The point is, for many frameworks installing GA is just adding one file to your dependencies and entering your UA number. Installing a comparable tool that doesn't have a library involves marginally more friction.
So Zoom is essentially a Chinese company with a formal outer shell in the US and 81% of its revenue coming from North America?
AFAIK it takes into account mouse movement and the speed of clicks.
Isn't an h264 stream even worse given that unlike a random image it has a very well defined repeating structure? The risk isn't that someone will look at zoom traffic directly and see the content Matrix-style. The risk is that it should become possible to just completely decode the encryption given what you know about the plaintext. In that context the penguin image is a great illustration.
