This is the kind of article I love to see on HN. Someone had an issue with a product and solved it using clever technical skills and deep dives.
It's telling that the "he deserves it, it's all foresight and brilliance" is the leading reply and the "right skills, right time" reply is behind. I imagine just by sheer nature of the power law that some upvotes are people trying to justify their lot but that would be the minority of people. I guess just so many who haven't made it at all but hold this fiction dear for their own peace of mind?
What does it have to do with ethnicity? He said "mainland Chinese", which is a form of citizenship. I think that all sides would agree that a good fraction of people from Taiwan are ethnically Chinese. As far as I know, citizenship is not a protected class (outside of certain treaties).

As for it being a good idea... nope. I wouldn't put myself in a situation where the Chinese government calls my employer and politely asks them to reassign me to the Antarctic branch. It's not a democracy, normal citizens have no power, and expecting your coworkers to do so is putting them and yourself in danger.
But doesn’t it only imply that an NP-complete problem can be solved with a certain probability in P time?
I used to support a web-based enterprise system used worldwide. After the business management escalated a complaint that the system was slow, I technically showed that them all the bells and whistles, doohickeys, widgets, etc that they insisted on as features, took up nearly 10MB to download, while Amazon, in comparison, took less than 1MB.

This was taken under advisement and then we got new feature requests the next day that would just add more crap to the download size. But they never complained again.
And then the whole solution dies because it's slow and not scalable due to the hot reloader plus number of users.

A CDN is pulled in holding a list of changes or something, adding yet more complexity that could have been avoided using a performant caching web server in the first place, and a properly implemented hot reloader.
(Well into millions of requests.)

Data Breaches – What You Need to Know About This Threat Now
The issue with the USA224 for circulation of media in the public (call it propaganda or propaganda busting, not relevant) is that it states pretty clearly "As the Military of the United States, we have a problem with you, China". That's getting pretty close to a declaration of war.

Edit: OK strictly it is not operated directly by the military, but by an intelligence organisation. The line here is a bit blurry though, as the imagery is clearly used for military purposes.
But I think the guy did that, it just took him a couple of seconds to register.

Remember, you knew it was an explosion before watching the video.

I remember I got the same reaction, but I've watched the video multiple times, I think the first time I would have been as slow as the guy filming.

Which "Linux browsers" are you thinking of?

Firefox only implements WebAuthn, including on Linux, the U2F support in Firefox is essentially a "reverse polyfill" in which the browser pretends it can do U2F but actually is just wiring some commonly used parts of U2F to the WebAuthn implementation to tide you over until your site gets WebAuthn.

Chrome on Linux certainly supports WebAuthn although it does have U2F support.

I'm sure Lynx can't do WebAuthn, but I'm also 100% sure I don't care.

Pricing is extremely weird and there are interesting Twitter discussions around this.

It's crazy to me people are willing to pay $5 a day for frothy milk with a shot of espresso but Starbucks isn't doing too bad neither is Blue Bottle, etc.

As I expand the asset library, each template, and animated text I make takes a lot of time and skill that is one click for users.

Lastly just like Starbucks and other great companies it's all about crafting a pleasurable experience that people enjoy engaging with.

Having had it made clear to me again that AgileBits doesn't care for my particular market segment, I finally decided to stop using 1Password4 and holding out hope that one day they'd release something that provided the same functionality.

I'd tried a lot of password managers before and never found any that quite fit as well as 1Password, which is why I was still using it.

I'd tried Keepass and its variants every time but it was never _quite_ there. The interface was clunky and things that I expected to be core to the product (additional fields, OTP, etc) were addons.

Stumbled on KeepassXC this time. Solved most of those problems. Certainly well enough to replace the old, unsupported software I'd been using for something as important as my most vital secrets and identity documents.

Just got everything migrated over.

Bye, AgileBits! After 5 years it's been... swell?

There are tests that come back in 90 minutes now. If the testing infrastructure is not up to par, and it certainly isn't, then people don't fly. Very simple. This isn't a game. I'd hope that we'd have sorted our testing out by now but that looks like it won't be sorted out this year at all and possibly never. If countries don't want coronas coming to them, they should just ban flights from the US. Otherwise, they should accept that they will be infected. Once again, very simple.
Tbh, not that many programs with exception of games supported all the platforms. And games were built on top of VMs or engines.
>I don't hate it, but it's hard to believe my ancient personal box is about as capable

Exactly my point. The funny thing is, I bought the 2012 model at half the price of the new models and I have 0 complaints about it. No fancy keyboard issue, no fancy thermal issue. Nothing.

and to think that since then, they've made more problems than laptops!

They really don't make them like they used to. I just want a better battery backup that's it. I get 6-8hrs because I did a lot of research about how Li batteries drain (it is best if you do not let it drain below 50% because Li batteries' lifecycle depends on the high-low charge discharge cycles so if you keep discharging battery to 0% then you're scrwed in a few years)

I'll buy the 2012 model again, if this one dies out, but won't ever buy the latest models.
The safest option would be to prompt users next time they log in (or at least next time they use the site) and have them choose one of "Sounds great, please permanently enable MFA" or "Please disable MFA on my account for now." However, that'd probably leave you with a long tail of users (like, uh, myself) who use gitlab.com rarely and will be in the limbo state for months.
Kahan summation is unfortunately slower than naive summation, which can be problematic. Pairwise summation [1], which roundoff error is proportional to log n, can be used as a drop-in replacement of naive summation as it performs more or less equally.

I didn't say it was fast OR slow. I just said it's not slow enough to be the problem that you're claiming it is.

If you disagree with this, could you provide evidence of a situation where accessing elements with strings is a bottleneck? As I said, I've never seen this in practice and if it can be the case I would like to know more.

> Compare that to a similar approach that makes use of the standard DOM methods

>Anecdotally, I would very much prefer push-to-talk myself, actually. I don't understand why companies are so resistant to the idea. Google even has all the hardware necessary (although I would prefer a positive, tactile response when I engage the assistant).

Maybe because they do not want to have the best Ux, and their goal is probably something different - like "accidentally" gathering data.
As a child I read all the Tintin books. My favourite ones were Destination Moon, and Explorers on the Moon. The rocket used in those stories is iconic. For me, Starship taps directly into those memories. I know it's infeasible, but if they ever painted the production Starships white and red, it would make me SO happy.

I'm too old now (approaching a de-orbit burn for 50) to be able to go to space, but I'm still loving the thought that my future grand-kids should be able to.
XJ is interpreted as a counter-terrorism / COIN operation in China - aka War on Terror. Go look up Uyghur terrorism attacks in China on Global Terrorism DB, there's 100+ that stopped abruptly after XJ security architecture / Strike Hard campaign. Spreading to interior provinces including TianAnMen. Western MSM will report 2009 minority riots and probably stop there, but it was ongoing for until 2017s. Generally, you won't find much mainstream sympathy because Uyghurs were already getting massive affirmative action privileges, and the ones outside of XJ has reputation (right or wrongly) of being Chinese gypsies. You'll find more sympathy from Han in XJ, because they have to deal with apartheid, but even this sympathy is declining due to increased nationalism and domestic propaganda. Overall, average Chinese will find re-education strategy much more humane and western forever wars. And really like... 1-2 million is ~0.1% of the Chinese population. Statistically it's hard to convince them it's a big deal compared to US prison industrial complex. Sure it's whataboutism, but it's also math. The average Chinese is focused on covid recovery, and before that pork prices. XJ/Tibet is just not something on the radar, and there's enough domestic propaganda to counter western propaganda.

The bigger unsaid issue is US/Pompeo/China hawks has zero moral credibility in China. For Chinese, the XJ model - integrating Uighur rapidly is seen both as a "fairer" minority policy and more effective COIN model. As long as the west jails minorities disproportionately, and dropping bombs on weddings, there's no argument or propaganda to convince Chinese they're not making the better moral choice.

E: The even bigger unsaid issue, which every expert musing about the global implication of surveillance authoritarianism but won't publicly entertain is: what if XJ works? There's a reason China has 2X support of the XJ program than US can gather against, from majority Islamic countries no less. It's not just lol-debt trap. There are many parties interested in XJ model working. 80% of the world are flawed democracies or worse, and the overall trajectory is illiberal decline and increased geopolitical instability. There are more rulers who is invested in XJ working than not. The even larger issue than that? West doesn't have a alternative model, we've been flirting with incremental improvements over decade scales whenever our own "contradictions" force our hands, i.e. BLM. That's just not good enough.
"It fails for x-y when x and y are close"

I don't think that's quite right. Each individual operation is accurate within epsilon, the trouble with cancellation is that the error from operations prior to the subtraction is much larger than the result of the subtraction.

Example, if I do 1 + 2^30 - 2^30 in single precision I get zero. But each individual operation is correct. 1 + 2^30 = 2^30, so the error is 1 < 2^30 * epsilon. Then 2^30 - 2^30 = 0, which is exactly correct.
> Why would a person with 20 years of experience want to work for a company with no work-life balance?

The initial comment by bfieidhbrjr already answered that very nicely: out of the desire to actually do something that is important re work. Important being subjective to the person in question obviously.
There are two outcomes:
1: They really will not know what you're talking about and think you're crazy and just hate Chinese people (this is common).
2: They will somewhat know what you're talking about, and have a massive list of bad things your country has done/is still doing, and you won't be happy (this is also common, but slightly less common)

If you were good friends, you can mention this and drop it and try to move on. If you're doing this at work, it won't end well for anyone involved, and it'll be doubly bad if you're in an authority position.

FWIW cache side channel attacks are primarily a threat on (shared) cloud platforms, but not as much [1] on personal devices. Considering that 1password runs in its own process and that most personal devices should have Meltdown mitigations in place, it would be prohibitively difficult to successfully launch a cache side channel attack to extract the password from outside of your device, especially at scale. Attackers would attempt to find other software vulnerabilities instead.

I think it would indeed be nice if 1password scrubbed sensitive data from memory, but not a complete deal breaker if it didn't. I do wonder if this could be more of a problem on 1passwordX, though.

"Just not at work" always sounds strange to me, a lot of people know all their friends and acquaintance exclusively from work, so when people is recommended to avoid talking about those issues with coworkers many times the result is for all practical purposes they are being told to avoid talking about the issue at all. I'm not sure what the solution is but "just not at work" doesn't seem to be it.
Consequentialism on the back of young adults is a crime in my opinion. It tries but fails to justify discrimination. The reason might be different compared to other authoritarian regimes, but the sense of superiority is exactly the same.

Yes, you can add more processes (or threads), but more processes (or threads) blocked by IO equals more context switches which equals drop in performance. Not a big deal if your app is distributed and you scale horizontally, but most apps don't need scaling that way and async fits the bill without adding unneeded resources.

If your workload is IO bound (and most of web development is) async improves performance in any case.

It says there was a 15 ft wave out into the Gulf of Mexico that lasted for almost 100 miles.

And Texas City is not actually on the Gulf Coast, it is on Galveston Bay about a half hour away from the Gulf shore. And there is only a relatively narrow channel opening from the bay into the gulf.

There are ton-sized pieces of shrapnel still in a few places across the town.
