It uses ssh to set up the connection, so that setup is fine. The actual traffic is encrypted using AES-128-OCB, which is a great mode of operation.

I haven't digged too deeply into their security, but from what the main page says, it seems pretty trustworthy. Hopefully they're using the appropriate authenticated data, with packet numbers and so forth, to prevent silly things like replay and reordering attacks.

I used to write code in Java and Jython for a big science project. Now I switched (avoid the word advanced) to a new big science project, where we use c, c++ and python.

This is a nightmare compared to everything we did before. I always liked to work in Java, but I never realized how powerful it is compared to the other stuff.

I'm not suggesting the security was at fault. However, I'm pretty damn sure if security knows that someone needs to be there for the show to go on, and they are saying they need person X to attend as well, the security isn't going to make this decision. They are going to get someone who can make this decision. And that would be Microsoft or some representative with the power to make the decision, and those are the people at fault.

Regardless…

Except it wasn't a guest making this request. It was, effectively, the talent. So I'm pretty sure security doesn't make the call when the talent makes a request.

My question was somewhat rhetorical, and more to provide the jumping off point for discussion. Perhaps I'll amend.

It's very common to see ”Hello World” in LaTeX-written documents. The problem in my eyes is often that well-meaning people tell others that LaTeX will automagically make your document look good and professional, yet neglect to point out that you still have to know the details to achieve that. Proper quotes, proper usage of non-breaking spaces, proper hyphenation when the default breaks down, etc. are all things you have to consider regardless of the application. LaTeX may have nicer default styles and a few superiour algorithms (e.g. line breaking for justified text), but overall result quality for people without any clue is in my experience not higher than with Word.

It's good that it's a real ladder. My first employer made a great show of having a dual career latter, but in reality there were very few people getting promoted on the technical side.

Thank you. At first, I didn't see anything of interest and briefly wondered why I was at a site that had nothing to do with the HN subject.

It hit me that the submission was to a demonstration rather than an article, so I temporarily instructed Noscript to allow all domains used by the page. Sure enough, now the banner appeared.

But that speaks to another reason to not use too many scripts hosted by third-parties. It makes for a very cluttered list of domains for users of Noscript and similar to authorize. I just leave sites that have more than a small number. How many third-party analytics, tracking, tools, social sharing, voting, polling, comments, shopping, deals, and other tools do you really need to embed to make a web site these days?

I love when the list is just domain.foo and domain-static.foo and maybe google-analytics or another mainstream analytics domain.

So he was held for three and a half years as an "enemy combatant" under order of the US president, G.W. Bush.

Is the US court system so broken that one person, one president, one dictator is now judge jury and executioner and gets away with such an atrocity?

What has become of the rule of law in the USA?

As a country, it's looking more and more like a dictatorship.

As a country that stood for democracy, freedom of speech and justice for all, what has become of that?

As a serious question, what exactly does the government of the USA stand for today?
Living in Europe and being engaged to an Israeli, I can definitely relate to that viewpoint.

I think that is generally how it works. Big companies don't all operate through ossified HR departments, and even the ones who do still have rogue elements who are responsible for most of the productivity in the company. If anything, I'd probably make it a rule to only work with people who do not try to make me go through HR hoops to work for them.

I don't think of it so much as luck as "having many irons in the fire". None of the opportunities you will end up pursuing will be that good of a chance of coming through, we just kind of delude ourselves into thinking certain ones are better than others. It just becomes a game of stacking up enough low probability opportunities that eventually one of them comes through.

I did the small statistics of the lexer.c and considered it an example of the input. You have there some 3050 lines 90KB, inside of the file there are 44K space (chr(32)) characters, giving on average more than 10 spaces per line. To process the indentation spaces faster I'd try reading them in the loop after the nl something like:

case '\n':
char* t = p + 1; // skip the nl
while ( *t == ' ' ) // skip the indent spaces
t++; // while avoiding the big switch
p = t;
continue;

I don't know if it's worth, but seems a good compromise.

If we go by the goal of fewer people spending less time doing menial labor, this is a clear win.
Yes I agree. My brother works in a bank and I think he complains since 25+ years. The only problem: he earns so much, where ever he'll go, it will be significantly less.
