At this point in time I think I'd rather deal with the spammers than with Google, Microsoft etc. Unfortunately they've managed to lock up email to all intents and purposes, good luck reversing the situation to the point where they have to play nice.
I agree that it is finally good that not only the governments but us as consumers are looking at this issue. I would hope that this entire debacle will result in a shift in perspective for enough people and legislators that Apple will just give us the right to run sideloaded applications without more (or hopefully less) effort than on the Android platform. If i remember correclty, microsoft tried to emulate Apple by only allowing windows store downloaded applications on their ARM version of windows initially but yielded after backlash (and probably poor sales).

I wouldnt call it trying to dictate what Apple does.Also I would like to specify that I don't really wanna dictate what software Apple develop or what products they want to sell in their store(atleast beyond whatever code is necessary for sideloading). What I do take issue with, is Apple dictating which companies are allowed to do business with "me" as a consumer, should I be on their platform.

Walled Gardens has not been the norm of Hardware/operating system platforms in the pc/laptop market, and I don't think it should be that way on mobile either. All of the major OS vendors could have implemented similar walled gardens if they wanted to, they just couldn't get away with it. I hope this leads to Apple not getting away with it either.
I'm neither a national security expert nor a terrorist, but if I wanted to pull off an attack like this, I'd be concerned that a test run—especially of this sophistication, which would likely get a lot of attention in certain quarters—would result in measures that'll make future attacks more difficult.

Nobody's going to make the grid impregnable overnight, and—depressingly—it may well be that security is so pervasively bad that the attackers don't believe any immediate attempts to fix the situation can stop them. I'd think, though, that additional security at even a few more sensitive spots could change the situation enough to make whatever was learned by the test run less useful. An attack like this would only serve to tip one's hand and underscore the threat (my personal suspicion of why this was done).

It seems a little like testing a valuable 0-day by defacing one government website; okay, that worked, but now everybody's going to start thinking about fixing that vulnerability.
No. RCE is a term of art. It implies arbitrary native code execution.
The other poster is correct, the issue of the fee is orthogonal to the issue of app distribution. After all, even if the fee were 5%, Epic could still argue they want to put in their own store where the fee was 4%.
Same here regarding the support. I helped a company migrate to Sendgrid, and right after paying and integrating, we were locked out of the customer panel.

We created a ticket, and a few hours later we were also locked out of the support area. All in all, it took them 7 days from locking us out before we received a human response and they fixed it.

We recently couldn't deliver to Hotmail. It took them 27 days before the first response (P2 Degraded). They didn't fix it, and wanted us to switch plans.
Social media and TV is the worst in India right now, very sad but i don't remember it being this bad when i was a kid.
Don't forget to charge back.
No need to patch MKL, just your own binaries post compile.
Well, I do it for work and outside of work, but they are separate counts - I choose 2 MITs for my work day and 2 MITs for personal development
The Eames Lounge Chair is a very comfortable chair, a lot of the high price comes from high quality materials, fair labor and environmental protocols of the processes and materials. Herman Miller is a quality manufacturer and is dedicated to making great furniture.

You will probably be able to tell the difference in the feel of the materials and the design details between the HM and replica. I've sat in a few different versions of replicas and the original and they are all very comfortable. The replicas are lower quality, you might not have them for 50 years, they might die earlier, they are after all a 'skin-job'.

If you're really thinking about it, do consider the resale value as part of investment, nice used examples fetch $3500-4000. If the classic Black and Walnut is your style that will probably be the easiest to recoup if you decide it's not for you.

Watch DWR or Hive they some times have 10% off sales that will at least save you the taxes or shipping depending where you live.
Yes, but those fees are 1/10th of what Apple charges (or less).
The model won't tell you how likely these scenarios are, but one advantage of this class of model over black-box ML function-fitting is that you can do scenario planning. You can do models runs like "what happens if the price of oil shoots way up?" or "what happens if 50% of the cars are taxis?" (e.g. Uber-driven future) or "what happens if transit all of a sudden gains a huge perceived cost?" (e.g. respiratory-virus pandemic) in the third and fourth stages of the model. In the early stages of the model you can look at stuff like "what happens if firms abandon city centers?" or "what happens if 50% of white-collar work is done from home?" etc.
There should be some acknowledgement that the people that manufacture the hardware of your phone shouldn't be able to control every aspect of your digital life related to the phone. Choice is a thing that Apple does not provide as a business policy.

It appears there may be some pushback to that as a corporate policy. I guess it could even be suggested that maybe not everything Apple does as policy should be golden law.

Just suggesting a different pov.

I liked the idea of your [1] but seems we're late to the party: last issue #433, January 2nd 2019
I’m so sorry people have to suffer from such awful behavior.

Last year a troll at my company Slacked his friend a horribly misogynistic remark about a women’s mentorship group meeting. But by mistake, he sent it on the general channel. Within minutes he was fired and escorted out the door by security.
The open email Internet was buried in an avalanche of spam.

Open alone is insufficient.
Is it physically/technically possible to have quiet or silent rotors on drones? I can’t imagine flying cars as depicted in the article becomg a thing in cities if they sound like the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
I think the sticky wicket with Haskell is less the terse syntax and more the execution model.

Why not start enumerating the lines of a file, and show how we're building up a list of thinks, and there is no actual variable representing the line numbers because state is for Statists?
Even before helicopters we had Santos Dumont flying his dirigibles down Paris streets and stopping for coffee. :)

Like dual purpose amphibious vehicles and seaplanes , it's a case of possibly useful for very small niches, and maybe electric power, VTOL and not needing the space a single rotor aircraft takes up creates a niche for this vs other similar concepts. But ultimately the economics of long haul flight, accident rates of GA and regulator intervention have all moved aviation further from the 'flying car' model than powered flight demos from nearly 120 years ago, and not through lack of innovation.
Thanks for reviewing. I will add history & local storage in the next version. Thanks.
To be clear, I don't think this is a solution to either.

The entire reason why people suffer from anti-social behavior delivered through computers is that computers are a real part of our world at this point. Simply disengaging may not be an effective way of dealing with it.

It's still a funny tweet though.
I don't know what kind of software you make, but SystemD's issues are not merely bugs and misfeatures (there are those) - the fundamental design is technically and community/society-wise wrong. It is not the right path to draw more and more system functionality into a single codebase (and partially into a single process).

That's not exactly the same as the Vasa, but there too - fundamental principles were ignored while other aspects of the design were impressive.

For me, it is one..
I generally agree with you (I have a six and a two year old), but the sleep deprivation when the kids are babies is extremely debilitating. At least that part definitely gets better.
Amusingly, OpenBLAS significantly beat the bought-in ACML, on DGEMM, over the six(?) generations of Opteron I had available. AMD learnt.
Kids change that equation. All of the sudden you threshold for safety increases many fold.
Putting aside EMP attacks (a real risk, but harder to mitigate against), the big issue right now on a day to day level is that energy suppliers are under pressure from regulators to reduce prices to consumers (in most countries which run regulated private sector energy distribution).

This means redundancy is written down by MBAs as excess capacity. It means assets are stretched to far nearer their safe limits than was ever envisaged previously. This ironically reduces their safe working life (in many cases), but this problem is cast along the road - in markets where providers re-tender regularly to continue to operate, that means it's a problem for the next franchise holder.

The incentives just aren't there to encourage creation of new redundancy. Existing redundancy won't be removed (as that would cost more!), but the long term outcome of this kind of "regulated private provider" system seems to be systemic under-investment in capital assets, with a view to deferring the problem until another time.

Another big challenge is that often the regulators for energy companies are "market" regulators, and therefore staffed by expert economists, rather than expert engineers. This further perpetuates the myth you can maintain and run critical national infrastructure with an economics degree and a calculator, and means the regulator tends to focus solely on economics, while assuming any issues with technology are fixed through economic incentives. Often they aren't, as the cost of a systemic black swan event is multiplied out by its likelihood, and the end result is to take no action while enjoying the profits today.

At least the above is based on my experience in trying to get energy market regulators to understand security and the issues of their regulator approach.
>How can the world's most libertarian nation

lol. Take a look at the prison population of the US, the level of religiosity and the representation of women in US governing bodies and then you'll know why the relationship with SA comes more natural than you might think
I can't read the article, but if it leads to widespread adoption like the automobile was, I can see this being much worse for society than the car was. Some examples of the sort of things we can see:

- Suburbs times 100. Now, the suburbs would be even less accessible as they wouldn't even be connected by roads. Coincidentally, they could be anywhere, which would spread out utilities and make them even more inefficient as they are now due to sprawl.

- Much, much more expensive, both due to the complexity but due to insurance. Already cars are deadly and destructive, flying cars would lead to all sorts of accidents and property destruction given the difficulty of driving them especially by non-professionals. This too would probably be normalized like automobile destruction is but the actual cost will still exist and need to be subsidized by sky high insurance premiums

- Further destruction of cities. Now, like wide streets and highways that demolished neighborhoods (often black and immigrant communities), we'd see calls for destruction of tall buildings for "the sake of safety" due to the common place destruction discussed earlier. Streets and walkways like sidewalks today would fall into disrepair, trees and monuments would be cut down or removed for safety, and so on.

Then again, I don't think we'd get that far due to climate change, but this is just based on a historical understanding of what happened to the US since the 30's. I can see a much more atomized and disconnected society.

There is a comment by one of TechEmpower guys - this benchmark is not the official one and results should be taken with a handful of salt.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I've never observed the "feeling sick" issue myself in periods of greater productivity, but that could be because I wasn't paying attention - I have "evening sickness" like you described roughly 2-4 times a month, and I end up just popping some paracetamol and feeling fine the next day. My blood work comes out OK on checkups, so I (and my doctors) guess it's likely some mild allergy rearing its ugly head every now and then.

I can share some things that I've found out over the years that are not helping:

- Alcohol. I tried that because during my one month-long super-productivity period I was also drinking socially quite a bit. After testing I ultimately rejected this hypothesis; regular alcohol consumption doesn't seem to help me get back to this "flow state" (and makes sleep worse).

- Sleep deprivation. Naturally, in the golden period I was doing so much that I slept irregularly and less than I should. So I tried sleeping less, but it didn't help.

- Music. I had a certain set of songs I was constantly listening to on my headphones as I made the world subject to my will. The songs still get me in a kind of productive mood, but the effect seems to hold for 5 minutes, not 5 weeks.

- Anxiety. Turns out having it is orthogonal to super-productivity! I had anxiety problems back in these golden times, I had them later on, over time I've learned to cope - but between low and high background anxiety levels, the super-flow didn't return.

That super-productivity I'm seeking comes with a very specific kind of feeling, like you're doing logistical parkour through your day. And now in comparison, lack of it feels like an engine that can't start. Or like those episodes in Star Trek where they can't stabilize some force field, and it keeps sorta-working, but blinking in and out. That's how I feel these days.
> * Facebook is just reflection of what’s in the society at present.*

Facebook is a company that makes a profit off of engagement, even if that engagement is driven by hate. Facebook alone chooses what they promote on their platform. It is not some kind of mirror that just reflects what goes on in society, it is a company that distorts the truth, outrages and pushes paid propaganda on its users in order to turn a profit.
hmm -- this is a compelling sales pitch. What should I read to learn about how erlang API clients manage pooling + timeout logic?
> What's actually different between a photon of a given frequency that enters my eye after reflecting off a surface and a photon of the same frequency that enters my eye after being emitted from a display?

Nothing.

OTOH, the spectrum of photons emitted from maximally white and maximally black pixels on an LCD screen is probably nothing like those reflected from black ink or bright white paper under any realistic lighting conditions.
Aaand, the casually racist comments popping up in this thread are underscoring why I don't comment here. Yikes.
I vaguely recall reading somewhere that for some nontrivial software (I forget what exactly) the speedup from hardware advances between Apple II and ~2000 was roughly equivalent to running the most modern iteration of the algorithms involved on the original machine.

I've terribly butchered this since the details completely escape me but you get what I mean. It feels like it could be true, which is... neat. This sort of thing certainly happened several times with gaming consoles where developers are able to squeeze every ounce of performance from the hardware at the very end of its generation.
> You aren't qualified to comment on my experience.

I think the language barrier made you believe I was personally attacking you. You literally constructed a general argument from a specific statement. That is a logical fallacy called fallacy of composition.

If you find yourself printing a string with printf and getting a different result from fputs, it has nothing to do with a newline but with not having checked the string's contents. Ignoring that doesn't fix code with unvalidated input.
Tell HN: Chess.com is broken
For the 2nd time I've been banned from chess.com, without any explanation whatsoever. My only guess is that I played "too good," someone reported me for "faul play", and that that person decided I'm a cheating bastard.

Some background info: I started playing chess as an 8 year old, mostly because it was the only game available on my father's computer at the time. I learned all the openings and what not, brute force mind you, and always had a "feel" for chess.

Speed forward, I play chess FIDE, but lack of interest places me on only 1400-ish. Friends of mine starts to play it on chess.com, I join in, and I quickly outperform them, and I start to play others.

This is where chess.com decides to just ban me. They ask for my FIDE credentials, so I take a copy, send it to them, and they re-open my account. Two years later, they close my (paid) account, no reason given.

I have _never_ used chess.com for monetary reasons, nor will I. It was always just for fun.
I hope not. These are some of my favorite posts!
Ah, I see -- so the 4 prop one in the OP article... that is basically a death trap at some point?
In case people run for the hills before reading the article, it's important to note how rare this is.

>Scientists say that although reinfection is likely possible, it's also extremely rare. This is the first documented reinfection among nearly 6 million COVID-19 cases to date.

This is in addition to another case reported in Hong Kong.
Thanks. I know other people have gone through exactly this and came out alright, so I'm keeping my mind in that direction. There are a number of things that can trigger abnormal FIT results, but of course the value is in subsequently discovering what is causing that to occur, even if it ends up a non-emergency, and then dealing with it before it can become one.
Belarus expels journalists, withdraws accreditation in crackdown
Oh please. His conclusions are awful and especially his conclusion on the 2004 video. I actually emailed the guy to clarify a few points just to see if i'd misunderstood something he'd said and no, as per our email exchange, he essentially bases his entire debunk on the video itself while totally ignoring the wealth of eyewitness accounts from all the days prior to it being recorded.

With that, he arrives at the conclusion that this was a plane (in the 2004 video), despite the pilots and radar operators involved emphatically stating very, very different observations about what they saw during the 2 weeks or so of these events.

Rational, analytical debunking is good, so long as it forms reasonable and grounded conclusions. In this case though, Mick West essentially seems to fall into the trap of: I'm a debunker, so I have to debunk, no matter the contortions and deliberate disregards involved.

It's unfortunate.
That's not a bad point for many cases. I was pointing out that the coding rule in the upper comment to always use puts, and never printf, is bad advice.

I am glad to hear you mention network coding. More people should do that, so fewer people make statements like, "always use puts for writing strings, never printf."
This was in 2013 so before the current policy of downplaying any terror angle during events, and during "the war on terror" generally. Hardening national infrastructure was more of a politically relevant story back then.

Additionally
the wiki page says it's "sophisticated" but it was literally firing bullets through a fence. Together it seems as if it was labelled a sophisticated terror incident as part of the War on Terror and because as mentioned in these comments, it shook up the USAs own spooks.
Shhgit: Find secrets in real time across GitHub, Gitlab and BitBucket
This is one of my biggest pet-peeves. Whenever I have to help people debug performance issues with their machines it's almost always due to a bottleneck on their disk.

For my family members that have laptops with those shitty 5400rpm HDDs with 8MB read/write buffers - I can't blame them and just tell them to upgrade to an SSD. I've witnessed Windows update hogging 100% of the disk activity for 30+ minutes after reboot on these machines until they're actually usable...

But for my developer friends who I figure should know better, they never seem to think of looking into disk activity. It's almost always things like applications hanging/blocking on disk due to lots of different processes trying to read/write at the same time on an HDD or "small" RAM size causing constant thrashing on a disk due to memory being paged in and out of swap constantly.
Tesla has focus, they know pretty much exactly the future they want and they know what projects to push. FSD and batteries are the major things they need to improve on.

Other companies might consider exoskeleton a R&D thing, Tesla just handles that as part of their Cybertruck development cost.

The same goes for a lot of their developments.

What matters is how fast and how often new technology goes into your next product. If you look at the Cybertruck, how many innovative stuff there is, I really don't care how much R&D they have, I'm just impressed with how many innovations they bring to market with each iteration of their cars.
If that's what they're selling, they're not very good at it. Sendgrid doesn't support all applicable RFCs, and they don't support spool, so, they have exactly 0% deliverability if the recipient host is down for any reason, or uses greylisting.

I've never had any issues with mail from my WiFi IP accepted. You'd normally send it just to your own server from your local laptop w/o any extra configuration, so, it's up to you how you configure your own server. I just tried sending to Gmail directly from Postfix on my MacBook, without any extra configuration, and it's been accepted by Gmail as well. Zero configuration on the laptop. Postfix and the mail CLI clients come preinstalled, and the mail just works.
Thats very true. But i think if sendgrid leaked their password db the level of spam would be mich higher.

Of course its always possible the password db leaked but it was using argon2 or something so only really weak passwords could be decoded.

I agree webauthn is great, and its the only option (other than TLS client certs which is a usability disaster, and maybe push notice 2fa depending on how its implemented) that protect against server side breach. However the vast majority of issues are password reuse, and to a much lesser extent dictionary attacks. TOTP effectively stops those. Then again so would choosing the users passwords for them.
