Yeah I think this is a good idea but ignores that every piece of positive feedback is potentially negative feedback for someone else.

We have all probably experienced working really hard on something that isn't very visible and receiving very little credit for. We have also probably experienced working on a flashy but relatively simple feature and getting lots of praise for it.

It would be a good way to quantify small things like answering questions, giving good code reviews, etc. that can go unnoticed.
This is purely marketing AFAIT. I don't see how it provides any protection against the 5 eyes or having one's google account breached. The encryption/decription is done with javascript code served to your browser by google (= can be hijacked/changed/…)

The only way to do client side encryption is PGP on a native client distributed by a third party.

>In November 2015, Levison said that work on DIME was still progressing, although slower than he would like.[35] As of July 2016, posts to the Dark Mail Alliance forum suggest that all collaborators have left the project and Ladar has been working on DIME alone.

Ask HN: Is there all-for-one out of the box solution for family email and backup
At the moment we use 1password for Passwords, Backblaze for backup, some cheap hosting for forwarding emails from our family domain to our Gmail accounts, Google Photos for photo backup.

We are running low on free space from Google photos so I'm looking for some solution, and maybe a way to unify all of this services.

Something like Google Workspace, but for families could work for us. Is there something like that?

What troubles me the most is the backup. I know the difference between backup and services such as Dropbox or Google Drive. I rarely need to access backup. Almost never. And I hope that it will remain this way. Could I use some cold storage as Amazon Glacier to store archive of photos and document that I don't use and that are rarely changed? Is there some user friendly way to backup files to Glacier (something like Backblaze or Crashplan)?

Or to put it shortly: I need an email and backup solution for my family. What would you recommend?
Fascinating fact: one of the 5 people who know the secret Chartreuse formula is a parish priest at the Church of Notre Dame in upper Manhattan, Fr. Michael K. Holleran.

Just the thought of having some product manager trying to determine how a productivity app I use fits into their business objectives is reason enough to use something like org-mode. If there is a joke, I think it would be all the churn that "conventional" productivity apps have gone through. I used Evernote before switching to org-mode. The Evernote interface is completely unrecognizable and many vital features have been taken away. Not only that, I'm sure that in a few years it will change even more. Bear may have a more user-friendly product direction but they're still a business trying to make profit. Will the Bear service work in 10 years? Maybe. Will I be able to find a synchronization solution for my org-files? almost certainly.
> a simple non-pessimistic representation

That's the insight, I think. "Clean Code" tells you to use maximally pessimistic representation for everything, because everything could be extended in some way in every direction. Meanwhile, in the real world, you likely have a good idea what directions of evolution are possible, and which of them are even useful.

Casey's example shows you that, if you design your code to make use of those assumptions, you'll get absurd performance benefits for little to none loss in readability (and perhaps even a gain!).

Some may ask, "what if you're wrong with your assumptions?". Well, you pay a price then. Worst case, you may need to rip out a module, rethink the theory behind it, and rewrite it from scratch - likely forgoing some of the performance benefits, too. Usually, the price will be much smaller. Either way, it's still better than being maximally pessimistic from the start, and writing software that never had a chance of ever becoming good or fast.
Title is misleading.

A blogger (i.e. experienced ML professional in fintech) published an excellent write up of AI in fintech in December - his basic take was that there's a lot of room for the tech to grow before it becomes truly ubiquitous, because answers in finance must be correct 100% of the time. Worth a read!

Interesting take, and some otherwise hard-to-find data on the environmental cost of bicycles.

I think the problem is tangential, in that anything that is produced primarily as a means to generate profit will be wasteful and turn into garbage as soon as possible.

I commute via bike and I've had a range of different cycles -- on balance, a custom build on a mid-80's frame is the winner. Reliable, low-maintenance, efficient.

We could easily go back to making things that work, "just" have to align priorities.

It's true that the market has a glaring gap at the low features / high quality quadrant if you plot simple vs performance ("features") on one axis and cheap throwaway vs built to last ("quality") on the other axis. But that gap isn't just some failure of the industry, it's also a gap on the demands side.

A similar gap exists in the car world, where more generous interior features are almost impossible to find with modest size and power. And manufacturers who try their luck with a small/weak car that tries to be a little more upmarket than usual in other aspects inevitably get punished by lacking demand (e.g. that short-lived Audi A2)

If the key is encrypted with your password, I don't see how that compromises security by a lot. If they adapt the javascript to break encryption on a large scale, that would sooner or later come out.

Yes, they could target specific people, deliver different javascript and break their encryption, but in general it's still a huge security gain. It makes it impossible for Google to handover E-Mails retrospectively to police or spy agencies.

A JIT is a just-in-time compiler. As your python code is running, the jit looks for opportunities to take little parts of that python code and compile them into executable machine code. Those then run much faster because they don't have to be interpreted instruction by instruction by the python runtime.

Not all of the code gets transformed this way so the speedup is modest.

> I've not seen any movement on banning those similarly.

That's because they (Facebook, Instagram, Snap, etc) have instead been fined by the regulators in the hundreds of millions. Don't want a ban? Pay a giant fine for such privacy violations like the rest of the social networking companies have done.

I think the downvoters must really not know much about 19th and 20th century European ethno-nationalism, or how cultural movements centered around language, religion and myth, were particularly instrumental in the formation of ethnic national identities, and what that inevitably entailed for those not in the hegemonic majorities. Nor how the invention of the past, construction of new "ancient" traditions, and a nostalgic longing for an imagined more pure mythic past served nationalist agendas among competing European states. And of course, all of this is still going on, in all sorts of places other than Europe (e.g. Africa, Asia).

But I won't complain about downvotes without an attempt to actually give people the opportunity to learn something.

I feel like Google is quite down to earth and EVERYONE ELSE has delusions of Google Exceptionalism. From regulators to users to staff.

* Google cannot provide you with an internet free of "bad things" (defined 8bn different ways by 8bn different people).

* Google are a decades old, mature, mega corp, they are pressed to be efficient and that means (increasingly) layoffs, not R&D.

* Google cannot provide gold standard service quality to accounts that are worth a few dollars or even 100s of dollars a year.

* Google cannot magically produce secure systems WITH backdoors only for law enforcement etc.

* Breaking up google will not solve any of these issues either

And yet people continue to insist...

If I remember correctly, that's because the decode PLA which takes opcode + current cycle number (one-hot signal) has a bit that indicates "last cycle" which resets the logic to check for interrupts and begin a new instruction cycle, and for the unused entries it isn't set in any cycle, so the cycle counter "runs off the end" and there's no more active bit to continue execution.

On the 8086, the microcode counter would eventually roll over and reach a "next instruction" bit even if it went into a normally unreachable part, so I don't think that such a state is possible.
What is the author suggesting? To write software using infinite loops changing global state? Makes sense for video games but not for the custom enterprise software where clean code practices are usually applied.

The enterprise code must be easy to change because it deals with the external data sources and devices, integration into human processes, and constantly changing end-user needs. Clean code practices allow that, it's not about CPU performance and memory optimizations at all.

> the gratitude thing is kinda fun. I imagine that managers treat that as a "positive only" indicator (lack of gratitude markers should not be counted as a negative, but a lot of them should be counted as a positive), since it's dependent on coworkers who do that kind of thing.

Depending on how it's done. I've seen similar systems where it became an additional metric to measure an engineer. Engineers became upset if they helped a coworker but did not receive any gratitude. (not receiving gratitude means that the help is not documented, so the helping engineer can't claim it during perf reviews)

I don't trust to government to police itself behind closed doors.
