Coolest thing of SINTRAN (ND's O/S) was the command shell which was designed such that you could have expressive long names for commands and other files, yet could also use short forms for easy typing in a word-lattice kind of way (and more stylish than on Unix). For example, the "ls" command was "list-files" and you could write "li-fi" or "l-f" as long as there was no other command/executable in scope that would be ambiguous. Worked with more than a single hyphen as well (eg. set-file-permission etc.)

Actually I implemented a Unix glob filter that did exactly that out of boredom on a project 20 years ago :)

I guess emacs users and LISPers in general would be loving it (the concept not my C implementation that is).
I want that terminal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ND-500#/media/File:ND-560.jpeg

It looks a lot like the Siemens terminals. It was also marketed under the Tandberg name.
I see a slight irony in how I perceive crypto conversations as very cryptic. It's pleasant to wander into a thread like this where you can't really tell up from down (as a relative layperson).

Keybase was cool tech that for years I hoped would find a profit model and more everyday use case. I liked being able to prove I was in control of something on the web. I use Zoom for work and think it's been one of the more stable video conferencing solutions out there but I certainly can't trust them to maintain something like Keybase in a secure manner. Bye keybase, I know you had bills to pay and that this is a tough economy :( I hope your core team will be able to regroup after cashing out at Zoom with some new projects!
How Lidar Detection Works
Well, it's pretty clearly an aquihire. Zoom gets a team of highly skilled cryptographers and Internet protocol experts. Good for them. But that means the team that created Keybase as an innovate PKI store won't be working on that anymore. That's not Zoom's business, and probably won't be, as Keybase themselves never figured out how to turn it into a business.
But its a strawman. Capitalism isn't at risk; some current business owners are at risk. And these conservatives are shouting "The sky is falling! Better let me go back into business! Only a few will die!" Because they value their money over other peoples lives.

Electron is nice for a quick and dirty app. Sadly, people think it's ok to use it for making apps that people are going to use.

What I mean by this - I can recognize a non-Elector vs Electron app by the amount of RAM it consumes. Is your simple color picker/text editor/REST caller/mouse config/ToDo app taking 1GB+ of RAM? It's an Electron app.

For the record, I doubt FF based app would face much better.

Every time I set out to memorize something, be it a poem, prose, song, etc., other parts of my cognitive life tend to improve. And not just the linguistic parts -- I am able to focus while programming much more easily, for example, which for me is a non-linguistic task.

Maybe it has something to do with working to increase the overall page size of my brain or something.
No thanks... Cheerio, Keybase

It seems really hard to imagine how that could be so. Why would random commentators or protesters care so passionately about unemployment budgets?

That’s completely what it is, but also necessary to the process of normalizing masses of unnecessary deaths every day.

It’s stunning that these propaganda narratives work in the face of countries like South Korea and Taiwan, where the response has been safely and thoroughly managed. But American exceptionalism is truly a force to behold.
Might not be significant part of keybase and bots don't need privacy. ;)
My client's customers are geolocated (continental US) and their personal data is sensitive. So their server is in their own firewalled server closet.
off topic: could you share how you started in the business? I thought running gaming servers was a low margin business.. Is there a particular size you have to be for it to be worth the pay off?
It does.

I've often wondered why they don't get the same vitriol. I think it's mainly because they're still attached to physical formalisms: gauge theories, algebras, known symmetries and conservation laws, etc. It at least has some constraints, even if they're not testable.

Back 20 years ago when Wolfram released A New Kind of Science, my GR teacher said about that book: "Science makes predictions, not press statements." Even Hawking got in a lot of trouble in his later years when he'd announce all those extreme claims and walk them down without ever publishing anything. It really surprises me how much press coverage this guy can get over 2 decades without actually making a theoretically testable prediction.
The concept of Comparative Advantage unlocked a helpful perspective on politics for me. It led me to shed a series of errors in thinking by confronting me with the idea that a lot of critical political issues are complicated and non-obvious.

Triffin Dilemma
> And I think about how in the restaurant business how a rumor of someone catching food poisoning can kill your business... what's going to happen when a review lands on your Yelp/Google page that a customer took grandma to eat at your restaurant and 2 weeks later she died from COVID-19? Your reputation will be absolutely trashed.

tbh, I don't think this would be as devastating as you say. "went to restaurant, died two weeks later" is not as clear a connection as "ordered shellfish, puked guts out next day". the thing that's so bad about food poisoning is that, not only does it suck, but it strongly implies a dirty kitchen. in my experience, people are disturbed more by the abstract thought of an "unclean" kitchen than concrete fears of getting sick.
Reading Glassdoor reviews, he sounds like one of the worst CEOs ever. Why anyone would tolerate working for him is mind boggling.
I don’t think this is true. I recall this being taken on the default settings for that web browser. Web browsers like IE in that era showed scary pop-ups for all sorts of things - like there would be a pop-up for when you connected to a site over https!
1. No docs now, you need see source codes. e.g. tests/*.lua
2. Perhaps you need call coroutine.yield or other coroutine/wait methods to program:loop() to support two event loops.
That sounds great. Thanks for sharing the info.

I'm a Millennial as well but I started out on hardware.

You're not missing anything. There are still some use cases for on-prem hardware or for not building out on a single cloud provider but they're getting harder and harder to justify. The main use case I can see for running your own hardware is if you need massive egress. There comes a point where it can make sense to run it yourself, I luckily work at places with large enough margins to still leverage cloud solutions for this though.

Some guys don't know how to build things out on the cloud and are stuck in their way. When I was getting into the industry the old guys were still stuck on bare metal vs VMs. You should know how that went, most apps migrated to VMs no problem and a few apps stuck to bare metal for their own reasons.

A lot of small/mid size companies don't have the manpower to properly move an app to the cloud. Sometimes products/companies have enough steam to build an app and barely support it but not quite enough to keep it competitive and current. Basically, it can be easy to get a profitable company/app started with a couple amateurs building the product. It can get very expensive when you need professionals. A lot of places don't have the margins to support a robust team of professionals.

These companies don't always lack the foresight, sometimes it's impossible to get some breathing room to see the big picture or to get project funding instead of just upkeep funding. It can be expensive migrating something to AWS/Azure/etc and not just money but also manpower.

It's deeper than "Chat Security". There is current litigation against Zoom marketing of the misuse of 'end to end' encryption. This is the best way forward of claiming ineptitude and their path to rectify.

Bugs in libraries and code that overpromises are maddening (and too common), but I think it's different.

You can get the data out of an HDF5 file with

using HDF5
c = h5open(filename, "r") do file
read(file, "data")
end

And you're done. You're not somehow locked into plotting data with the Plotly backend, but not GR. You know exactly where the data came and can trivially point it somewhere else with some 'magic' breaking.
A pretty sad part of computer history this is. At least we got the oil :D

They don't have access to your unencrypted private key, it's just a backup of your private key which is encrypted by (hopefully) a very strong password.

This feature saved my skin on one occasion.
It's interesting how his personality traits affect the discourse around this. Like this quote from the close of the article:

“I’m disappointed by the naivete of the questions that you’re communicating,” [Wolfram] grumbles. “I deserve better.”

And maybe that's actually true. Of course, many will find this manner of speech pushes our buttons; coming across as arrogant, megalomaniacal, almost anti-scientific-process.

But that has NOTHING do to with whether this theory is correct or not. When the most obnoxious person you can imagine says 2 + 2 = 4, that doesn't change the fact that 2 + 2 actually does equal 4.

(Of course, if they claim 2 + 2 = 5, their being obnoxious doesn't make that true either.)

It bothers me that they even tried, honestly.

Keybase seems like something that should be small, isolated, FOSS, supported by a foundation, etc. They could have built a business _around_ Keybase I'd imagine, but all they managed to do with this is invalidate Keybase and make people like myself, who feared their business motivations, feel vindicated for being paranoid.

I'll never blame anyone for wanting to make money, to make a business, etc. But if you make a product that walks talks and acts like a FOSS project, but keep it to center your business around... I'll always be longing for a real, true FOSS replacement.

In this case a good looking FOSS alternative came out a few months ago iirc. Though for the life of me I can't remember the name.

The green screens were cool, but the Nokia 80Hz+ ergonomic black-on-white terminals were actually much better and the ones that everybody wanted to use.
Another +1 for Hetzner, We have been using their GPUs and at the pricepoint of ~$100 per month, it's unbeatable. AWS/azure are all at least 3x that.

Yes. And your basic burger is still going to taste the same. The idea is that Item X is going to taste the same within a given region, typically a country, not that Y or Z will not be on offer.
I wonder if we’ll get a fully open source release of the Keybase server out of this. It would be so awesome as a federated ecosystem...
Nobody actually wants to go back to work. All they want is the financial security they feel from having a job. If any of these people hit the lottery for example would they be begging to go back to work?
Honest question, why does Zoom’s security reputation matter more than Keybase’s? There’s so much pessimism in here but I really don't get it. I disliked zoom long before any of the security issues because frankly it’s rough, unpolished, software that’s never really worked well for me. I, for one, would be excited to get a functional Zoom with better security integrated into Keybase as an option for UI so that you have a serious “productivity” app. Why does the fact that zoom needs help in the security department automatically spell the end of times?
Whenever someone says they "aren't good at something" I'm fond of reminding them (and myself) that "you don't get better at something by _not doing it_".
Here on HN somebody posted an analysis of the websites pushing these narratives. I recall it was two guys selling T-Shirts. They discovered the power of the meme, and align it with their business interests.
Random commentators and protestors don’t. Certain politicians do, and those politicians have done an outstanding job of convincing those random commentators and protestors that this situation is political one, bringing all of the fervor and zealotry that politics brings.

This situation went from being “we are staying inside to defeat the virus” to now “we refuse to stay inside (reopen) because that lets those evil democrats (Republicans) win, and I won’t ever allow that”.
The argument has never been it wouldn't help people with the money problems.

The main arguments against are:

1. assuming a limited budget what other priorities would it take funding from?

2. what are the macro economic effects on things like inflation and size of workforce.
Sometimes, I would spent time trying to understand if someone was "asshole" or "idiot", the distinction being whether or not they understood the negative effects of their actions. I've recently decided that it didn't matter because I deploy the same polite mitigation strategy for both.
Zoom is publicly traded. Assume their blog post had to be approved by Zoom's press department.
They don’t. They’re stirred up by rich people through astroturf groups:

Thanks!
BLAS API will probably last forever but the actual implementation library people use today may not. I suspect the same may be true for vim in the very long run, maybe someone will re-implement it and it'll become more popular (like vi vs vim). I find it unlikely that that'll happen to Emacs since it's extremely complex, maybe we'll just move on before that happens.
There's a certain gap between reading and retaining. It may be personal. One may find a newly read knowledge, concepts illumintating and clear at the time of reading them, yet after a short time that clarity vanishes. Like as if it somehow failed to transfer from the short-term memory over to the long-term index of the main library. The only lasting recollection is of experience reading it and feeling illuminated. Happens to me everytime I need to cram something quickly.

I believe minds do need reread, retry in order to retain it as something worth recalling. I guess, some brains prefer not to waste energy on forming the long-lasting synapses on something that was casually encountered.
How to Develop a Smart Content Strategy for Your Mobile Apps

from Zoom's twitter:

"We are excited to integrate Keybase’s team into the Zoom family to help us build end-to-end encryption that can reach current Zoom scalability."

not a word about what happens to the existing technology which doesn't sound very reassuring to existing keybase users.
Once they publish the docs for how to build plugins, TablePlus is going to be the obvious choice. I can't wait for my database browser to have charting!
Unfortunately money isn't limitless.
My first reaction (because you have a lot of stipulations) would be to use Drupal, which comes with views (a db query engine) in core. I am not up to date with details, but it should be able to get you very far. I did a booking system that did some impressive queries very fast, and allowed data export.
https://crushentropy.com/ It's like markdown for planning your day in high resolution. The hours no longer just slip through my fingers.

I think it is inevitable, yeah. But, this wouldn't have been a problem if the product itself was decentralized.

For example, if it was optional to connect to the Keybase network to begin with.

Imagine a keybase-type app that is built on web of trust rather than centralized servers.

It's political more than technical. Automating the trains means eliminating the driver's job, and the Transit Worker's Union is opposed to the elimination of those positions.
I think that's way too hard to answer since it depends on so many factors. But again, my experience isn't that the pay is too low. It's not like there are 10 people coming to the interview with no one taking the offer because of the salary. It's more like no one have applied for the job in three months and the external recruiters sniping LinkedIn didn't find anyone.

But to give some kind of estimate just so you know what page I'm at when I say they pay well I would say somewhere between $60-75k.

Yeah, that's why I prefaced my comment with: 'I guess it depends on one's definition of "excellent"'.

What others can do is an indication of what is achievable only if what they do is optimal, like let's say for example that a monkey learns 10 words in a planet full of comparable monkeys and things less capable than that, does that environment make the monkey excellent in general as far as learning words goes? I don't think so. I would argue excellence in this sense is to be measured in the scale of what's possible, not as a comparative measure that changes depending on the environment. In this case in particular I wouldn't consider lacking features spec'ed 2 years ago excellence, your mileage may vary.
Also, I never heard of a spray and pray approach working for anything.

In fact, why not look at things like income, demographics other types of factors of the groups.

And I bet you could figure out which groups where helped more by the money and target it towards more of those groups.

then, rinse and repeat.
