Pop open dev tools and take a look at the network traffic when you put "silverfish3" into that form:

It sends a GET request for "https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/89F5D"

and gets back 548 rows of the form:

001F74CD3E241B7820C996DA4FB3BDF9FE7:2

...

54C7FB299EC06A0B979C5DE14F1AE61F653:40

...

FFE6FF5698CEC527CD18269D1B7697C8743:1

Note that middle example row with ":40" at the end? Prepend "89F5D" from that GET request the javascript generated to that row's contents "54C7FB299EC06A0B979C5DE14F1AE61F653"

Now compare that to what you get when you run this (This is a macOS specific invocation of the command, but something very similar should work pretty much anywhere):

$ echo -n "silverfish3" | openssl sha1

(stdin)= 89f5d54c7fb299ec06a0b979c5de14f1ae61f653

You might (perhaps rightly) not trust Troy's site to not switch out the javascript underneath you, but you _can_ trust the API, and could always run:

curl https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/89f5d

Or, if you're testing that "dichotomy7" password:

echo -n "dichotomy7" | openssl sha1

(to get (stdin)= 772be5bd14dc626ec7fa952b51ae28c482e92d39)

then:

curl -s https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/772be | grep -i '5bd14dc626ec7fa952b51ae28c482e92d39'

will show you your result of that dichotomy7 password having been seen 5 times.

You've only revealed the first 5 characters of the 40 character sha hash to the server. That might have been one of the ~500 passwords with that same hash, or any of the rest of the 150 bit space of other strings that hash to that prefix that are not part of their database.

I would be perfectly happy running echo -n "{{a real valuable password of mine}}" | openssl sha1 locally and then feeding the first 5 characters of that into "random apis on the internet".

I don't think the network side is the issue in almost any MMO when it comes to the client. The amount of data that is sent and received is tiny. It's most likely the number of draw calls that is the performance bottleneck. A high end machine in 2018 can handle around 2000 draw calls per frame (remember, this has been single threaded until recently!). You could easily have a single draw call per player, sometimes even more. That alone could take a system to its knees in an MMO with lots of players.

I don’t want the department to pay; that’s our tax money. If I run over someone with my car and I’m found criminally liable, then I have to pay. Why should the state step in to pay when cops misbehave?

I would find that hard to believe given how severely autism impacts some people. Things like being non-verbal, or extremely sensitive to noise, don't seem to be things you can just learn as a child to avoid.

And if the only difference was in childhood learning, you would expect that people with asbergers would be able to learn at least some of that situational awareness later in life. Based on people I know with asbergers, for many of them that is not the case - they never get even close to having intuition about social situations, they just end up memorizing rules and applying them when they seem to fit. Rather than intuitively knowing someone is angry/sad/etc. they use the rules they have memorized to make that determination. It is a completely different way of thinking. Of course this doesn't apply to everyone with autism (it is an extremely diverse disorder) but I think it shows that there is a significant difference outside of just what was learned in childhood.

1. Get to know your TAs and professors. This is important... Knowing how to ask for help is important. Make sure you prepare and walk through the steps you went through to assess any problem and where you are stuck.

2. Enjoy the college experience. Join some clubs. Make friends from different walks of life from you. Take time to socialize.

3. Treat school like your job. If you don’t put effort into it you won’t get anything out of it. Don’t procrastinate if you can avoid it. Good habits now will pay off later in life.
I recall refractors from those proposal being very mechanical and easy to automate.

Not sure where you're getting the nat-gas-fired idea from. The more-commercial link I provided seems available as a micro-CHP setup, with a wood-pellet furnace. The Melvin Package from Selfton Motors has a combined propane/wood fire box, but the Melvin engine itself is a separate part, allowing use of a custom heat source.

I'm not sure though why you want to burn wood on that scale. It's really expensive to properly filter the exhaust from a wood stove, and economy of scale doesn't hit in the kW range. I mean, yes, if you're in the middle of nowhere, sure, but I'd claim that an install cost of 3~4$/W(electric) for the Melvin Package, including shipping (even to a potentially-remote location, only 100kg for the largest piece allows transport with e.g. a paramotor or two humans, with additional trips for the cooling jacket/firebox/vents/piping) is acceptable for a reliable wood-fueled electricity source.
"light-weight utility to get from zero to KUBECONFIG" -- what is kubeconfig?

Here I am a total n00b in Kubernetes, hoping to get a clear path for learning it as an app dev. I heard K3S as "easier" K8S, but still confused how to get started and be productive with it (as app dev).

It’s hard for me to believe that it is as simple as you suggest, considering the large amount of work put in by the Go team already, and the even larger amount of work put in by other programming language implementors to eventually arrive at various (different) design points. Work which often takes many years like C++ concepts.

Not to mention the open invitation for concrete proposals on how to add them Go.

You might find this post by one of the Go team members interesting:

This is the second time I've heard this word this week (the first had to do with bicycle laws). As far as I can tell, the point seems to be to shame the target into turning off their brain. Hope this obnoxious neologism dies out soon. It's certainly a showstopper for rational conversation.
I’ve applied to companies who ask on their application whether you have ever been arrested, regardless of conviction—presumably as a way to disqualify you.
I believe the use of the pronunciation ‘niner’ instead of ‘nine‘ was because nine could be too easily confused with ‘five’.

And ‘port’ replaced ‘larboard’ in the 19th century to avoid confusion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_and_starboard
> are there people who find vanilla/handcrafted k8s okay?

Yes, we do.

Kubernetes the hard way is pretty much Arch

> is there an Ubuntu of k8s (successfully hides away the details and produces a clean working system that never requires a user to leave the comfort of the GUI)?

Kubespray etc.

> so this is a genuine question from someone who'd like to get into k8s but can't see which option is sane.

It completely depends on how much money your company is willing to spend on it. The larger the organization, the more it makes sense to go for "the Arch way". If you are a tiny start-up with single digit Devops folks, stick to managed offerings like GKE.

Years ago I had a TX81Z synthesizer unit. It was a rack mount unit (not a keyboard synthesizer; you had to use it with a midi keyboard). It was also an FM synthesizer with a fundamental difference; the DX7 used sine waves modulating each other to produce the sounds, and the TX81Z let you do the frequency modulation with sine waves, or triangle waves, or square waves, or pulse waves. You basically had an order of magnitude more flexibility in creating sounds, and an order of magnitude more difficulty. Some people were able to create some really interesting patches, but I never got good enough to create anything remotely interesting.

I have to think there must be tons of nonprofits that can't afford to keep technical people on retainer for things like their website, internal IT, etc, and so just outsource to crappy firms when they need something (like a new website).

Pointy end being front on ascent, blunt end being front on descent, interior wise pointy end being top, floor be round, exterior wise celestial body be down and velocity vector be either where engines face or not face, is kind of norm for spacecrafts though.

Manufacturability, spaceship designs, and space-gun designs are where norms of this sort aren’t very well understood among designers, time to time I’d think “how on Moon are you going to 3D print it” or “this is going to quite spectacularly flip and kaboom in KSP” or “just no way this gun feeds”

Though I'm on the side of the Hong Kong citizens, I doubt this would help much, since the government is going to have extensive videos of their own. Not to mention a likely capability to capture immediately or almost immediately off of people's phones.

On a somewhat related note, I wonder if the thousands of people being recorded committing various crimes in the US right now realize that their faces are almost certainly being compiled in various government and private databases, to be matched via facial recognition for the rest of their lives. Yeah, not necessarily a good thing, but am I wrong?
And that is exactly why they were successful. When governments/police crack down on peaceful protests, it shines the light on the oppressor's behavior and creates a strong sympathetic reaction. That reaction is what evokes the change.

May I suggest an upvote and downvote system for each message? With 3 downvotes removing the message
The topic of how we as developers implement solutions in code has been on my mind for years.

The one insightful idea I found in this essay is that coding is a lossy one-way operation, from which you cannot fully derive the original idea or the 'theory'. That seems similar to losing information when compiling source code, making it impossible to restore the exact source code from its machine code representation.

So if we work backwards, it's: machine code (bits) -> source code (text) -> idea/solution (human thought?)

Despite losing some information, machine and source code have interesting properties, such as being able to copy them easily, transpile to different format, etc.

What I'd like to ask the HN brain is if anyone can think of another way to express a higher level thought other than language? In his essay, Naur implies that there is no such thing. I wonder if we had made any progress on that front in the 35 years that have elapsed since this essay was written.

The only thing I can think of is something like UML, which has tons of diagram types for structural and behavioral properties of a system, but I've always found it hard to 'see' the real idea they're trying to describe, in the same way how I find it hard to imagine a 4D object by looking at its 3D projections. With enough effort its certainly doable, but I wouldn't say the process is intuitive or easy, so to me, diagrams are like projections of an idea from different points of view, but how do we encode the idea/thought/theory itself?

What is it about language and apprenticeship that makes conveying ideas or theories possible? I view this process as an inefficient way of serializing an idea and transmitting it over voice to another person, who has to unserialize the sounds, convert them to words, then they have to create the associations in their brain based on the meaning of those words, and then probe into the correctness of the associations by asking clarifying questions.

Is this really the best we can do in 2020? How are other fields conveying complex abstract notions and ideas?

I've owned multiple DX-7s (only first gen... I've always wanted to buy a DX-7IIfd). While I liked the feel of the keys, I couldn't get passed the MIDI implementation not sending the full 0-127 velocity. (Yamaha implemented a 0 to 100 range because the MIDI spec wasn't complete at the time of production). When I'm actually using it as just a keyboard to play, it doesn't seem to matter... it's only when I'm using a different sound source.
Do not forget about the Trump "resistors". I'm assuming that they are out with the mob too.
That part caught me too... Do people really work with the same employer for 5+ years - multiple decades?

Not judging the practice, it’s just such a very different concept to think about since a lot of my US friends are switching jobs like every 1.5-2yrs on average to play the game of “corporate ladders maze” as they say. I think if I challenged one of my friends to stay at an employer for 10 years, they would have a very hard time doing that without feeling like they are missing out on more money.
I also use "say again" in regular conversation, and I've never been in the military. I picked it up from living in Singapore for a few years. Some of the short, simplified, not-always-grammatical phrases used in Singlish work great for communication - distinct enough to be understood despite the speaker's accent, few fluff words so that they can be parsed easily and spoken easily. Very close to the goals of the military and NATO in that regard.

My university was very accomodating when it came to code that didn't produce correct results, especially after first year. If your code looked close (e.g. the algorithm was fundamentally correct but you had an off-by-one error or your output formatting wasn't correct) they were generous with handing out part marks.

I never had to learn LaTeX for my degree either, and I don't think I ever had to write more than 2 pages of anything that wasn't code.

I feel like my university had a much more vocational feel to its CS degree than a others, they didn't have much focus on academia and preparing people for doing postgrad at all. I think it was almost discouraged.
Isn't it obvious though? Why would a country keep spending on new and modern infra when what they have works just fine? Time will come when Singapore and HK will start looking old in comparison to new metropolis emerging in Africa and India.

The context of the statement isn’t clicking with me. You start with “it’s a problem with these filesystems” which I’m on board with but then follow with “but it’s fine if you do this” and I’m not seeing the correct correlation.

There was a 60 minutes episode long ago about him and his wife, probably the 80s. It seemed pretty clear she raised the money. What I remember most is that they, or her, were good at hobnobbing with the rich and getting them to donate millions for these projects. A single project might cost $20 million and to make it they might raise $40 million (and this was 1980s dollars)

a) This site is very hard to navigate; on mobile the text jumps around whenever you touch and it's usually cut off past the edge of the screen

b) I couldn't figure out what this is. At first I thought it was computer graphics rendering (what "CGI" usually means), but after skimming several paragraphs I don't think that's what it is? But I'm still not sure.

c) Clicking the github link tries to download a .zip, which beyond making it harder to figure out what this is, was mildly distressing.

Edit: re: the downvotes, presumably the author would want to know that their site is broken on mobile and that the content is inaccessible to the average reader who might be curious to learn about it, in ways that could be easily remedied.

In my experience, social skills tend to be far more important than ability of knowledge when it comes to getting a job. Personal connections are also very useful when it comes to finding internships and graduate jobs, I had a B- grade point average and still managed to get an internship that led on to full time work when I graduated, purely by knowing the right people (completely by luck in my case)

I'm not a bad programmer by any means (my poor academic performance was due to undiagnosed ADHD), but time and time again it's brought up by management that I'm a valuable asset because I'm a software developer with social skills. Apparently we're a rare breed.

Don't take only CS papers, thinking that non-CS papers are a waste of time, I did that and I regret it. Intro to computer graphics was just as much a waste of time as philosophy or any other arts paper would've been. It's had literally zero use in my career. Taking arts papers will help you avoid getting stuck in a CS bubble.

Remember that college/university isn't just a place where you learn things so that you can get a job (most of what you learn you won't use in practice). It sounds cheesy but it's also a place where you grow a lot as a person. College is the time where you'll have more freedom and spare time than any other point in your life, make the most of it. Make mistakes, fall in love, get your heart broken, learn from your mistakes, it becomes a lot harder to do these things when you've graduated and settled down.
As I mentioned, few people who get into avant-garde music through recordings even have an "in group" to impress. They could only get an "in group" if they moved to a fairly small number of cities around the world.
