Yes, it should have an option of monitoring if changes have been made (not just show changes at launch). Maybe as a paid option.
For a Perl-to-Python journey, the first thing you should probably read is this:

How? By buying a house someone else could have bought and actually lived in, thus increasing the prices for everyone? How does buying and renting a house provide something not already there?
Yes, and original comment addresses that. In theory WinMerge binary can contain malware. But WinMerge authors have a proven track record against that and they are transparent about working of their application enough through their source. MS and Smartscreen do not have that track record, and IMO have an opposite kind of record with all kind of map/adware practices throughout the system and applications.

So if an untrusted source tells me that a usually varifuably trustable source is not to be trusted, whom do I trust more?
As other HN commenters point out, most research in this area doesn't translate to humans[0]. It might be nice if we suddenly found a miracle chemical that can add ten years to our lifespan (though we'd all be working ten years longer, not living it up in retirement), but like with every article around this subject, we'll just have to wait the coming five to six years to see if we can benefit from this ourselves.

Might be a good addition to food for pet mice though, so at least there's that.

I have some ten-year-old Rust code that would disagree with you. :)

[edit -- and yes, it's pre-1.0 code. Not trying to be sneaky, just trying to clarify that the backwards-compatibility guarantee only goes back to a reasonable point in time.]
The biggest obstacle to secure messaging is making it friendly to users.

All popular end-to-end encrypted messengers manage user's public keys for them. And usually provide the client code too. And may have unencrypted backups. And may have account recovery mechanisms that can be abused.

Each of those makes it easy for the user, but degrades security.
I'm not sure about Lindt, but Valrhona is very easy to buy in catering quantities, and fairly cheap. IMO Lindt is a more interesting chocolate on its own, but that works against it in cooking where you just want the 'normal' chocolate flavour.
Only if you had it enabled before. It's not shown on clean install.
I don't think it does matter. I'm just curious if it's specific high-value items that are being stolen, or a bit of everything. I don't live in San Francisco, so I don't have anything to contribute about the closing of a specific Walgreens location.
No, not quite. It depends on your prior assumptions. Basically imagine that you have these preconceptions

Possibility Prior probability
No aliens 0.55
Aliens at the perceptual limit 0.1
Completely invisible aliens 0.2
Obviously visible aliens 0.15

Now the math is simple. You cross out the impossible: obviously visible aliens. Then you need to get the remaining options to sum to 1 again. This is done by dividing by the total.

Possibility Posterior probability
No aliens 0.55 / 0.85
Aliens at the perceptual limit 0.1 / 0.85
Completely invisible aliens 0.2 / 0.85
Obviously visible aliens 0

Now you may wonder where the prior probabilities come from. Well they are simply your best guesses based on reasoning and thinking, before having looked at the data. For instance they may be informed by your knowledge of physics and how easy it is to make things invisible. And they may be informed by extrapolating human psychology onto aliens (see the other response about a human playing with a cat using a laser pointer). You may consider the precedent of bacteria existing all around us for a very long time without detection.
They probably refer to EvoSuite, which is/was mainly developed by one of the authors of the paper: https://www.evosuite.org/
The relevant question is why does the search for aliens/ufo's remain in our customs. The one 100% certain thing is that humans have for centuries needed to see something mysterious in the sky. Our metanarrative, as "first world", means that when we do this universal human questioning as we build our symbollic reality, it must originate from 'objective' categories like science and governments and military and not religion.
It just started happening so I doubt it.
Mux (YC W16) | SF, London, REMOTE (US, CAN, and UK) | Full-Time | Elixir, Golang, TypeScript/React | https://mux.com/jobs

Mux is how developers build online video.

With Mux Video, developers gain access to a powerful API for video streaming--think Stripe for Video. You don't have to have strong feelings about ffmpeg settings, you just go. And with Mux Data, developers realize incredible insights into how their videos perform from platform to platform, place to place, and user to user.

I'm Ed, and I'm an engineer on the DevEx team here - you might have seen me around HN here and there. ;) This is, and I have to stress that I'm not kidding because everybody says this sort of thing, for real my favorite job that I've ever had. The team here is mind-blowingly smart, there is a real and concerted focus on not just competence but on the human side of things; one of the company's core values is "be human" and I thought it was marketing stuff 'til I joined and learned to my surprise that it is emphatically not. Also? Legit, the best onboarding experience I've ever had. During a pandemic, no less.

The tech stack actually manages to balance cool with useful, too. It's a multi-cloud environment running Kubernetes on AWS and GCP, with Elixir, Golang, and some NodeJS (some JS, mostly TypeScript), plus React and TypeScript for all the usual bells and whistles.

Mux is a good place to be and if video is your bag, or even just sounds interesting, you should check us out. At the moment our hiring is limited to the US, Canada, and the UK. Feel free to head on over to https://mux.com/jobs and check out our openings; we run a pretty standard interview-loop process and I don't feel like we waste candidates' time. Even if you don't see an immediate spot that clicks with you, feel free to reach out anyway; we have a certain facility for finding room for amazing people.
You immediately assume the worst possible intent from those statements. Your cynicism casts it as some hollow statements, when most likely it was just people sharing there lives. Some might be fake, sure, bet I bet most aren’t.

Try to be more compassionate of others and assume better intent.

How could you forget Tony's Chocolonely?!
A lot of people here are talking about the merits of the eviction moratorium but the most surprising thing to me is that it was created by the CDC. How on earth does the CDC have such power? If any government agency is going to do something like this it seems like it should be the Department of Housing and Urban Development or a similar agency.
Ok, then it hasn't died gracefully, but sound like it's on its way to join these other "undead languages" where almost no new code is being developed and it's getting harder and harder to find competent developers?
Thanks! I'd only looked as far as section 2.9 (Power Supplies) and then gave up when a search for mAh turned up nothing.
This is my view as well. It's more than a bit fishy that most UFO sightings are from the US, and not uniformly distributed around the world.

DemandStar | Senior Fullstack/Backend Engineer | Remote (US only) | Full-time, no contract | https://www.demandstar.com | Contact careers@demandstar.com for more info.
DemandStar is a two-sided marketplace that makes a complicated, expensive, and confusing process - government procurement - open, transparent, and accessible to any small business in the country, while saving city and local governments taxpayer money. Governments post solicitations on our platform and suppliers can bid on them.

We're looking for a senior fullstack engineer (although with a heavy focus on backend work) to help us build the pipes to support a huge amount of growth. We’re a react frontend in the middle of a Typescript migration with a .Net backend we’re looking to port over to node. There are lots of opportunities to collaborate on big engineering and product challenges.

A few bullet points to hopefully pique your interest:

* We make a free eProcurement platform for city and local governments, then connect them to our supplier network to create more responses and more competition, and generate significant taxpayer savings.

* We facilitated 3 billion dollars of transactions in 2020.

* 20 person company

* We already have almost 700 active governments and around 100k suppliers using the platform.

* We have revenue, and closed a $2M funding round in April of last year.

* There’s a group of employees based in the Greater Seattle area, but we are committed to building a distributed-first team - even after COVID. In addition to Washington, we have employees in New Jersey, DC, Georgia, Colorado, California, Maryland, and Oregon.

* We have a strong belief in building a healthy culture where people aren’t working 60-hour weeks.
Enterprise networking chips happily run 80C+ junction temperature (much too hot to touch) for the part lifetime - which is 10+ years.

There are plenty of things that damage chips, especially those at 7nm and beyond but this too-hot-to-touch "rule" is rubbish.
I'm full remote and mentored a recent CS graduate this last month. I put in the effort to send him a slack message at least once a day (I didn't say it was a lot of effort). And we do a mix of working together on tasks and working separately.

When we do work together we use a new code-with-me feature of IntelliJ and I'll lead the development but when I need a utility function or something I ask him to write it and he goes off and writes it separate from my current coding.

This is a legitimate help, not a burden. He wrote an interface to another service for me, and I never had to be distracted by it. I had a concern about something but he said he had read the documentation and that the way he wrote the code was correct. I trusted him, he turned out to be right.

In the editor this is like having 2 or 3 cursors moving around in the project editing things independently, Google Docs style. I flip tabs to check in on him periodically. If I want to show him something I just place my cursor and type, in contrast to telling him what to type with words which was never very effective in the office. This is a form of pair programming that is actually productive and enjoyable, imagine that!

If he were sitting 5 feet from me I would want to collaborate the same way. Two screens, keyboards, one codebase, casual voice communication. We have all this.
SmartScreen is not Windows Defender, the latter is the antivirus with its own regularly updated database, firewall, etc.

SmartScreen basically sends your files to Microsoft, for "enhanced security" or something.

FWIW I put Defender on notification only mode because Microsoft ever so helpfully removed the actual quarantine directory and now files dumped into quarantine are basically unrecoverable.

I just use the firewall with a third party interactive GUI and block anything that I can't identify.

> I had a very hard time finding an efficient way to add more NVMe slots to my personal storage server.

I think this has more to do with the form factor/connector issue than the interface. m.2 is an awkward form factor even though it is the most popular. An m.2 device is a low cost bare pcb which relies on a cheap board-to-board connector and secured via a screw remotely located from the connector. You cant locate these off board without a carrier and cable and you cant connect them vertically because of the way they are secured. Great for laptops though...

Another thing to consider is NVMe uses a PCI express x4 link meaning you need eight high speed differential pairs in a single cable along with clocking signals and so on. Cables aren't as simple nor cheap to make as sata which only had two differential pairs. Hopefully OCulink will become the standard.

And don't forget that disk form factors and interfaces are tied to desktop standards like ATX which are not the driving force behind computer design anymore. So does it make sense to continue to promulgate these form factors, e.g. U.2? I personally say keep what works but some will argue that.

Until we get this whole physical part of nvme sorted, we're going to be stuck in this awkward transition phase for a bit.

Presumably you don't. You can probably hack something into the firmware to change the baud rate based on the port you're using to SSH in, but I haven't had any need to myself so I can't tell you.
I do; I installed on both my personal laptop (2012-ish Alienware 17) and my wife's laptop (2020 Asus Vivobook).

The first thing to note is that Windows Update is completely removed, so unless you have fairly-current Windows 10 drivers, you'll never automatically download drivers. Asus doesn't provide an up-to-date ACPI driver, so my wife's laptop was always running at full throttle (which means constant fans) and couldn't sleep or hibernate, and several devices went unrecognized the entire time. Ultimately, I ended up reinstalling the retail version of Windows 10 that was included with the machine and after a few updates it's back to its initial state. Of note, I also tried Windows 8.1 (no drivers available) and Windows 10 LTSB (no ACPI drivers again).

For myself, I've had absolutely no issues with it. All my devices were recognized and it boots extremely quickly (~8 seconds from cold boot on a SATA SSD). Most of the stuff I didn't like about Windows 10 is ripped out. If you're a fairly technical user who's cautious about what they download and run, it might be ideal. I have no problem wiping my machine occasionally, so running without security updates isn't something I'm too bothered about.
Well written article with a single argument; it deserves a clean death for its conclusions are false, but it is well meaning. The weakest point is simply the post hoc fallacy and causal fallacy (attributing to CO2 reduction as a single variable system of global economics in which production [pollution] is outsourced and or mis-reported based on convenient definitions [looking at you Germany, but you are just one of them]).

Apart from the logical fallacies, and a missing trade-off analysis (ie. biased argument) it is more than clear that CO2 tariffs are created with a primary agenda as an instrument of geo-political pressure and influence (any supposed justification related to actual CO2 reduction is a side-effects or even just useful convenience). The author only plays its role of an intellectual in the service of a state to justify its agenda (so this is not meant personally).

Any writing which neglects the sole force field of how nation-states interact by their nature (e.g. the financial tools (WTO, IMF, WB) which are used for these goals (see Ha-Joon Chang's books), and neglects to address this aspect, is deluding itself.

Governments cannot, by the law of physics (information theory) operate more efficiently than the market. Market has no ideology, no vested emotions married to an ideology [in the optical case of "complete" separation of State and private sector -- mixed economy only can lead to internal power struggles of vested interests which is known from about 300 BC).

Coercion, the hallmark of value against which western world struggled is not an answer to improving anything, even less so on scale and multi-values global geo-economic-social system of the world.

[Desrochers et al, 2020] ..concludes that the most promising path towards truly sustainable development lies in the unwavering pursuit of profitability within the bounds of well-defined and enforced private property rights.

What are the shortcomings of Espruino and QuickJS?

Nextflag | TECHNICAL CO-FOUNDER | https://nextflag.app | Florence, Italy | Full Time | ONSITE PREFERRED BUT NOT MANDATORY

Hi, I’m Gherardo, founder and CEO at Nextflag. I founded Nextflag to be A social network to create your personal wanderlust agenda, and to see what your friends recommend.

We have an MVP built that is almost ready for launch on app store developed in React Native, using RoR and graphQL. Tested with internal users, just finalising a few silver linings.

As a technical co-founder, you'll be responsible for overlooking the whole technology infrastructure and making informed, shared decisions on the best route for the company, envisioning where such decisions will take us. You will have a say on all future endeavors and will be fully accountable for the code you produce, as well as for inspecting the code that future hires will submit for review.

Languages used include #Javascript #PostgreSQL #RoR #ReactNative #graphQL

The four characteristics that we cannot do without are humility, curiousness, pragmatism and proactivity.

This position, other than being highly technical, also takes a managerial nuance, and you will be at daily contact with the other co-founder and CEO of the company. After all, it is a startup in its early days, therefore everyone is expected to help in every way they can and have a say in every process!
If the challenge suits you and you’re considering joining our team, or just want more information about what we offer and where we’re at, don’t hesitate to get in touch! You can find me at gherardo@nextflag.app

Looking forward to speaking with you soon!
Ah that's why, I don't remember enabling it but I guess I did at some point.
I mean, sure, SmartScreen is an important security service that should not be disabled if you're OK with hashes of every executable you run being transmitted to Microsoft.
Under my own understanding, a compassionate person is acting in the interest of your resilience and isn't merely providing a well-disguised form of sympathy, or enablement, that stops you from growing. Compassion in that form may not feel like it until sometime later on.

I think it's largely a subjective concept and we all take different meaning from it, but I developed some of this thinking after reading The Compassionate Mind.[1]

I moved from London to Oakland several years ago. In London I would take a bus to work and then walk for 5 minutes to the office. Taking Bart is just not pleasant - the cars are packed, so you stand super close to other sweaty people for 45 min or so. I guess it's comparable to taking Underground during rush hour - same thing.
Someone who went to the trouble of moving the tab bar to the bottom, which AFAIK was never a built in feature, probably also dragged around the taskbar at some point if they use an OS/DE that has one.
Why are you appealing to the past when the fully remote but post industrial 9-5 day schedules is the new thing? My parents and grandparents have either work friends or old college friends.
It's at the bottom of the "What causes gimbal lock?" section, the final code snippet:

```
rotationAroundX = Quaternion.fromAxisAngle(angle1, Xaxis);
rotationAroundY = Quaternion.fromAxisAngle(angle2, Yaxis);
rotationAroundZ = Quaternion.fromAxisAngle(angle3, Zaxis);

cubeRotation = rotationAroundX * rotationAroundY * rotationAroundZ;
```

Basically, you store 3 quaternions, representing 3 angles, and combine them to get the final rotation.

You might say "This is just quaternions emulating Euler angles!" and my answer is, sure. You can say the same about rotation matrices. There's nothing inherent about rotation matrices that makes them susceptible to gimbal lock. You can implement them as representing 3 fixed angles, thus gimbal lock, or you can implement them as accumulating rotations, thus no gimbal lock. Same is true of quaternions.

The fact that you can get gimbal lock with quaternions is a feature, not a bug. Quaternions are just one way to describe rotations. Gimbal lock is a natural phenomenon of certain physical rotation systems, and can be described whether you use quaternions, or matrices etc.
You are pitching being able to do laundry, dishes, clean, etc. as a perk. I feel like it’s a negative as part of my mental space is occupied by household chores as well. Blending errands and cleaning with meetings and focused work is a pain now. It feels like I’m doing an insane multitasking balancing act most days.
As an introvert I do not appreciate your incorrect characterization of introverts.
I'd argue that "traditional" celebrities are much less talented than today's influencers. On the internet, you have to find something that can at least capture someone's attention over everyone else. In the world of celebrities though, you just need to broker enough power to apprear in front of the audience you want.
After getting fully non-addicted (~3 years) I was able to do this. But after having cigars a bit more frequently (once every ~6 weeks, ~7 times total) I found the cravings started to come back. It surprised me a little, so I've stayed away. Back to actual special occasions if that. For comparison I smoked ~5-10 a day for ~15 years, with a few quitting segments in between.
Indeed a bad change considering you could open an image to new tab with middle-click but now there's no way to open in current tab.
That's some impressively old rust code — from long before the initial release of the language!
Are you sure?
You seem to be suggesting the Facebook could instruct whatsapp on my phone to snoop on my messages.
