> but we use 64 bit keys [...] to do authentication, and that's known to be totally safe.

I disagree with that. Using 64-bit authentication tags is fine, since they can only be attacked by sending guesses to the target system. 64-bit however are too weak, since they can be attacked using same offline brute-force attacks used against confidentiality. They have the advantage that an attacker needs to break them before they're changed/the project ends, while confidentiality can be important for many decades after that. But even then, I'd say 96 bits is the minimum authentication key size for a high value system, while I'd go with 128 bits.

Same in Spain. Here we say "Pasos de cebra" and I can hardly figure out any other name.
It doesn't faze me, because I'm not automating plugin parameters for things like reverb, compression, etc, so zipper noises simply don't happen. If I were to use automation and dynamically adjust parameters during playback and noise littered my tracks I'd agree with Paul: if I couldn't hear that it would be a terrible idea for me to mix the tracks myself!

That said, I did find a couple of spots where I forgot to crossfade the edges of punch in/out points, so there are quiet but audible clicks. Oh well. That's what happens when you mix audio with the headphones slightly off to be able to hear if the baby is sleeping poorly next door... :)

The point was to have some creative fun and have it quickly. That's what it was, so I'm happy.

I think these are two separate discussions. Indeed the floor effect of a minimum wage can have a negative impact on very low-value jobs, that's one of the issues to be managed.

One way is to try to orient your economy around more high-value jobs, with a generous safety net for those who can't reach it. It's a very difficult question
I do not mean those, no.

But maybe I'm mistaken.

Couldn't tell you. Never heard of that study. It sounds like one study among so many that all indicate the same.

Maybe we don't send work offshore to lower cost countries to take advantage of wages lower than ours.

People DO send work offshore for that reason, and you know it. Why so childish? Why such pointless passive aggression? Why come out with that kind of nonsense bullshit? Grow up and have an adult conversation.

Not quite. Larry Ellison created white-collar jobs, but still the Oracle workforce unionized and mobilized in several EU countries.

White-collars are traditionally less likely to fight only because they tend to enjoy better mobility and have better incentives to stay silent (even if they don't maximize their earning potential, their social standing typically compensates). If you mistreat them enough, they will react like anyone else.

If you never reject or accept meetings, a colleague can never know if a booked slot in your calendar is something you intend to attend or just something you don't care about but didn't reject. So your availability in your calendar is meaningless.

I have colleagues that permanently have their entire calendar booked, even if they attend only half of it. So either you send them an invitation regardless of their availability, call them to check, or leave them out of the loop entirely.
I'm not a lawyer here either but this situation appears pretty common overall.

If you use a browser which blocks fingerprinting, CAPTCHA may fail you 3-4 times even if you give correct answers.

It's not DIY but CIY - Cobble it yourself. I wish we could see some more ambitious projects, but whenever I see a post with RPi, pretty much always, someone connected something to it and that's it. Where is PCB design, where is soldering, where is programming, where is 3D printing?
Leaving aside the technical content the post uses uncommon words and constructions that obscure its meaning. In other words it is overwritten. Taking the first paragraph as an example, you could make it much easier to read by: replacing "tenet" and "antithetical" with simpler words, removing the "of course", and breaking some of those run-on sentences into smaller sentences.

I'm reminded of patio11's writing. There's a man who never uses one word when three will do. I expect I will now be excommunicated from HN. :-)
If there isn't a meteor on the hood, but instead the driver ran into something, then the number of times your assumption is wrong will be sufficiently small that the parents observation is valid.

Certainly it will be a far more useful way to guide policy than "You don't know for a fact that all those accidents weren't caused by external events outside the drivers control." however technically true.

There aren't evil driving-fairies nudging people's elbows, and we have manufacturing and inspection regulations to keep the percentage of mechanically unfit vehicles low. That just leaves the drivers themselves holding the primary responsibility in the majority of cases.

These are all things you already knew, which makes the question disingenuous and of questionable ultimate purpose.
Agreed if he didn't use style.

On the flip side though, there is difference between the different Parmesan cheeses, so potentially he was trying to be accurate.

It really depends on whether people are going to YouTube and searching 'How to make Grana Padano' or just happening across the video and clicking in, and at that point how much difference the work Grana Padano has to Parmesan in terms of whether people would watch it. I don't know the answer to that.

I'm in favour of protecting origin terms, but it really should apply to the sale of items rather than home hobbies. Sure this guy is potentially making money adjacent to that by explaining HOW to do the hobby, but he's not making and selling Grana Padano (I haven't watched his channel before, so correct me if wrong).
> I found that flipping back and forth between the lilypond "source" and the rendered result was too slow.

I found Frescobaldi to be a decent compromise in that regard as it serves as a decent Lilypond editor while keeping the rendering of the score up to date at the same time.

Personally, I'm going to experiment a little more with tighter Emacs and perhaps Org mode integration. I don't care for the full score at all times, so using Lilypond as a server and sending it only short snippets to be displayed in an Org mode babel buffer might be a viable option.

(I know that you can tell Lilypond to skip time and only start rendering after some offset, but I'd rather not have to keep adjusting that offset number all the time; it also doesn't work so well for pieces with different odd meters.)
Champagne continues to maintain a pretty solid price premium though? The case of Moet-Chandon is instructive: the French variety usually retails for a solid $20/bottle more than Chandon's Australian or Californian wines, even though they're all made by the same house and the same methode champenoise.
> because they found a large minority of their users didn't use the address book, but instead searched for a recent email from the person they wanted to send to and replied to that, after changing the subject.

That's exactly what I always do. And I don't do that to find the address. I do that intentionally because I actually want the whole history of communication (even if it spans years and hundreds of messages) with a particular party to be a single huge tree thread.
And are « poorer » than in US. It’s only recently that French people started enjoying frequent worldwide travels, whereas it has been affordable for Americans for several decades. We also have smaller houses (90sqm in average vs 140sqm in USA, but also our interiors are generally less renovated, and anyone with a kitchen that would be average in USA, looks like an aristocrat here). It is quasi-impossible to be paid 140k$ in France. We get less money for less work, it is entirely proportional, the difference is, it was collectively bargained.

But we don’t have « more » than in USA.

> The brain does a lot of its work in parallel

What happens to me oftentimes, when not focusing on what I'm typing, is that I misspell words like "theme" as "team". I think it's because my muscle memory sloppily translates what my brain is hearing since it's not focusing on the context, and those two words sound similar. This is also how "your" sometimes gets mixed with "you're", even though I most definitely know the difference and spot the mistake immediately when proofreading.

I vaguely remember learning similar fact years ago, but it was phrased something like "There are as many floats in [0, 1] range as in [1, infty]". Leaving aside where exactly "midpoint" of floats lies (either in Ruby's implementation or other languages'): what would be implications of this for writing code dealing with floats? Can I shoot myself in the foot somehow with low precision if numbers I'm using are "too close" to infinity?
"Identify which of the following windows can tilt and turn."
Depends on the test. There's been a move away from tests that require cultural or language specific knowledge and which instead rely on "which shape in the sequence comes next" type questions but they have their own set of problems in that they don't capture linguistic ability which is a part of intelligence, and are also useless for blind people. Earlier IQ tests required a lot of culturally specific knowledge, and were often quite up front about it because they considered the possession of such knowledge to be a marker of intelligence. Generally that viewpoint is out of fashion now so test makers try to come up with tests that measure "pure" Intelligence, whatever that means.

>>I'm old enough to remember when reCAPTCHA was first introduced to help with deciphering text from OCR'd books

Am I the only one who always, on purpose, put in the wrong answer for the clearly scanned word? For me it was kind of a rebelion for being used this way, but it was always super easy to tell which word is generated and which one is scanned - and the algorithm only required the generated word to be correct, so I always put in absolute nonsense for the scanned word to break their OCR detection.
I agree with you on the 'door lock will offer protection'. The vast majority of break-ins are actually climb-ins through an open window (forced or not), or by smashing a door window. Once you have a decent lock installed thieves will find another way to enter your house.

Some of these smart locks however turn out to have MASSIVE exploits (sending out unencrypted bluetooth addresses for instance). Sure, you could research and pick a lock from a wellknown brand with proven security. The downside to software security is that there is a possibility that a hack can be developed in the future. With an old-fashioned key, the risks are pretty well known.

I'm a big fan of home automation (Home Assistant user here). I'm rather proud of my setup where I can measure, control and secure my entire house. But I'm not using smart locks. Their use cases are, in my case, very limited (I've never encountered a situation where I thought 'darnit, I wish I could open that door without a key') and therefore not worth the extra risk.
I wonder what software the graphic designers who design new bills use?
Driven primarily by frustration with foreign companies expecting post codes - the postal service was late to computerising which paid off in having better OCR/address lookup when they finally did so actually said they were pretty indifferent to the implementation of postcodes.

"Identify the best spot in the classroom to hide from the shooter"
You already live in this world, though. Or at least something close to it.

It's actually quite astonishing how, despite the growing chemical and mechanical complexity of household items, most household things are actually quite safe to have around children. It would be quite easy for these things to be actively dangerous, but fortunately a combination of thoughtful design, fear of lawsuits and regulation works to make them safe.

(Also if we're talking in context of white goods, you can't ignore children in the design process, as a good chunk of the target market has them, and the play around where such appliances are deployed.)
That requires several context switches on both ends. I'd rather have my focus interrupted once than having to either draw out an email conversation over several days or mentally switch to it every few minutes.

I understand the purpose of CAPTCHAs when used as a security measure, but recently it seems like there has been a huge proliferation of them in all sorts of random places and it’s becoming very annoying.

Even Google has taken to occasionally popping up CAPTCHAs just so I can see search results! (“suspicious activity on your network” - I’m using a reputable, top-tier UK mobile provider)

Is there grounds to legally challenge CAPTCHAs on the basis that they’re discriminatory? They must be a nightmare for those using assistive technologies, or who have forms of cognitive impairment.
That is some ingenious bait for HN readers! Of course everyone is going to passionately defend their favourite.

I'd say a small dose of mushrooms (or LSD, but less experience there) is actually more likely to be a positive experience than weed edibles. Most people I know who have had bad experiences with drugs had it with edibles (or even just weed). Of course, due to the culture, weed is considered more "normal" in most countries than psychedelics, which is somewhat ironic in my experience.

To be clear, not implying that weed can't be wonderful or that you can't have a bad trip on psychedelics, just speaking from what I've experienced, seen and heard from others.
