> Why would reliance on Lisp be an issue? It's a basic requirement. Lisp can be learned in 2 hours. If you can't spend 2 hours learning some basic rules, you have no business dabbling in computing.

Yeah right, first you dont know me you are assuming I dont know LISP while i have GCL opened on my computer right now. Second, your kind is the problem, computer science has nothing to do with being able to learn LISP in 2 hours or not.that's good if you did. You must be the smartest computer science guy in the world.

I dont know you, but your message makes me say you are arrogant and bigheaded and i'm not interested in people like you. I'm interested in making knowledge accessible, even for those who "cant learn lisp is 2 hours therefor they have no business dabbling in computing".

You may be smart but i pity your coworkers that need to endure your arrogance.

Their certificates are perfectly trustable. The ones you shouldn't trust are the irresponsible domain owners who refuse to pay 20 fracking dollars for their users' security. It's not like StartSSL are actively refusing to revoke the certificates.
The GP's point is well-taken. The company that produces this particular widget calls it an "underwater locator beacon",[1] not a "pinger".

To "ping" implies you are the locator, not the locatee, whether you are sitting in front of a terminal window or are running the active sonar[2] on a boat. You send a signal out and await a response, be it a reply (as in the case of the ping command) or an echo (as in the case of sonar).

People would better be advised not to trust admins who can't shed 20 bucks for their users' security. Most likely these are the same admins to whom you certainly wouldn't want to give an email, password or any sort of confidential information.
I agree with most of what you've said, except that I think the recent enthusiasm for doing systematic reviews + meta-analysis is way overblown. What really needs funding is novel high-risk/high-reward research that isn't necessarily supported by precedent data.
but I'm still not sure what a better system would look like

Perhaps some constraint system, eg: http://gridstylesheets.org/
Not always. It depends a lot on your culture, and how critical you are towards the media. In some countries people could not care less about that's said on TV.
Prior to Heartbleed you were protected. Now (unless the service used perfect forward) security the agencies can decrypt all your communications done under the old key (which usually means in the past 2 years).

If you aren't using perfect forward secrecy, then presumably you don't care about that. If you do care about that, then you must use perfect forward secrecy.

I doubt that PFS will protect against the aforementioned parties, though.
Any language which prevents you from removing '3x duplication of some code' is ruined.

So famous is only for fast javascript browsers? That says it all... damn #hipstercoders.

And yes, it works fast on chrome, dog slow on Firefox. Since when did we decide to collectively ignore Firefox users because we want to use some fancy shmancy JS framework so we can write our code using an "opinionated" approach? And I quote "opinionated" as that is precisely how the readme describes the "famou.us" way of building "rich, fast web applications".

> Large companies are implicitly trusted by everyone.

No. What little trust there is, it comes from people trusting them to be afraid for their own interests. But even then people generally acknowledge that the customer's interest might not always win here.

> how would you approach generating a palette using these color spaces?

This is exactly the problem I was trying to solve in creating HUSL.

You can think of HUSL as a version of CIELUV (Or, more specifically CIELCHuv, the cylindrical transformation of CIELUV) that is stretched vertically to fill in the 'holes'. HUSLp, the pastel version, is similar, but instead of stretching, it cuts the saturated colors off. (You can switch between them in the demo).

In fact, those stretching and cutting functions are the only thing that HUSL really does, the rest is all CIE math :P
Entirely valid complaints.

The question is if CSS+HTML+JS can make the leap to convincing near-native-UI somehow (I'm also dubious, but it's possible; something built using canvas and webgl in a manner very much like what pixi.js is currently doing; with all the 'responsiveness' of a native application, and barely using html/css at all seems possible).

...or if people will just continue the current trend towards native applications to replace generic multi-platform websites.
I was unclear, but as I understood it he was taking a shot at the whole html/css situation we're in that makes React, or anything like it, necessary.
So, if it wasn't the researchers who found the bug scanning for it, and this started after they found the bug, they'll now know they are compromised by other means by someone with the know-how to make use of this... Possibly by a bad apple, possibly technically. Scary.
I think part of his point is that the mere re-write itself should save a huge chunk of that. Quite probably if you were to re-write it in the original language you could still get 25-30% decrease in code size (or more).
Thanks but that just does backup. I have a domain I use with google apps. I'd like to move that to a non-ad-driven email server that doesn't mine/sell my data and preferably that I can own.
Ok, well the USA public at least.
SF already have the highest minimum wage in the united states. It has it's own minimum wage as a city compare to the state. That said, even if you increase to say $20/he, that roughly translate to about $40k/year. Compare that to where 6-figure salaries are the norm for entry developers (where is was maybe just $60k for fresh grads a few years back) and you can see the growing discrepancy. I understand that developers are viewed as providing greater value this they should be paid more than minimum wage laborers but that doesn't change the situation with housing costs for both buying and selling. In some cases a two bedroom place these days can go average around 3-4k for a decent place in a decent neighborhood.

A few years ago I saw a story on BBC suggesting a despairing outlook for people of the Indian subcontinent origin (Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi - IPB); it was titled "Asian heart disease gene found". It reported that a significant percentage of IPBs have a gene that regardless of lifestyle and/or dietary choices, will kill them rather early [1]. I have not read the actual, grim study.

For non UK audience: Asian == UK term for people of the Indian subcontinent origin

The public key in the CSR should match the private key it's associated with so this wouldn't work. Also the notBefore date in the certificate is set by the CA; it's not in the CSR.
I don't know about you, but Lisp's uniform syntax makes it really to just dive in and explore the concepts of computation. The only problem I see is that the number of implementations in the Lisp family can be daunting to some people, especially those used to languages with a canonical implementation.
My short yet readable Python version:

for i in range(1,101):
if not i % 15: print 'FizzBuzz'
elif not i % 5: print 'Buzz'
elif not i % 3: print 'Fizz'
else: print i

The same in Bash:

for i in {1..100}
do
let "$i % 15" || { echo "FizzBuzz"; continue; }
let "$i % 5" || { echo "Buzz"; continue; }
let "$i % 3" || { echo "Fizz"; continue; }
echo $i
done
It could be. The only new component that HUSL defines is saturation (it's a distorted version of CIELCHuv's chroma). Both hue and lightness are exactly like CIE defined them after doing actual empirical research on color vision.

So while the hue component isn't perfectly perceptually uniform, there is no way I could improve it without doing an actual study.

The argument is that if you deny people entry you miss out on talent. It is that simple. Now you want to deny people with proven talent who's abilities will further the interests of the nation state. Some of those you deny will have exceptional abilities. The nation as a whole loses.

It is very sad that nine percent of computer science graduates are unemployed. Why is that? Why are they not fulfilling the already critical need for skilled IT workers? A clue - it's not because the immigrants are taking all there jobs.

Launch video from tonight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmQMVjCVZBo
Scheme syntax and main semantics are taught by the first couple of lectures IIRC. The main issue for me with the book and to some extent these videos is the assumption of the student being fairly comfortable with certain (fairly basic) mathematical ideas and techniques. This motivated me to pick these up as I went, but meant that the workload was fairly hefty. I still have not made it all the way through!

Tools and environment were another matter, getting MIT Scheme installed and running was a bit of a pain. Next time I'll probably try with Racket and Neil van Dyke's SICP support package :

http://www.neilvandyke.org/racket-sicp/

From the looks of it support for the 'Picture Language' is supported, looks like fun. :-)

There's something reassuring about these vids, possibly the timelessness of what they attempt to convey. The enthusiasm, Sussman's especially for me, shines through well. They were filmed at HP in the 1980s, there's some great examples of 80s fashion going on there at points :-)
Yeah, that's what I meant (and couldn't properly articulate).

So the difference is the reporting mechanism, that allows a powerful organisation to make meaningful threats to protect others?

Because in [Garfinkel 2003] it's similar: returning users get a big, fat warning, but they can't meaningfully do anything about it on their own, except not trust the other side.

If you aren't using perfect forward secrecy, then presumably you don't care about that. If you do care about that, then you must use perfect forward secrecy.

Unfortunately, I think "you" that is affected by this and the "you" that needs to care enough to deploy PFS are two different people. And I suspect that in 99.999% cases the you that cares doesn't know about PFS or how to check if their service uses it.

I had to Google it, and knowing to look for "ECDHE" or "DHE" in the certificate information isn't something many would know.

I am likely being overly sensitive about this at the moment and read subpixel's post differently than intended. I read it as "it should be easy enough for mothers to use" as if to imply mothers need easier software than everyone else.

I don't think the reasoning behind the logging is really to prevent/provide evidence for lawsuits. I think it's more a case of log all the things so we can see what's relevant later and can use it to ensure the car stays working as long as possible. "The unreasonable effectiveness of data" has definitely permeated through to engineering and I'd just say they're good engineers that want good logs, with protection from litigation as a happy bones. That is my opinion though.

I only watched the first 12 minutes or so (thus far!), but ... just wow! I originally took a course at the U of Mn where SICP was taught as intro to programming and intro to OO programming (yep, OO programming with Scheme, I have a very lucid memory of some dude standing up and complaining about learning OO programming using Scheme vs. C++ (circa 1992 mind you) because "who will ever use Scheme in their programming career" and the professor (Dr. Maria Gini) had to ask the student to "keep an open mind" and all I could think was "hey, why not?").

This class was the most mind expanding class I've ever taken. I have read SICP three times since the early 90's and use it as a reference to this day (who else was re-reading the SICP streams chapter when Java 8 was recently announced? /raise).

Anyway, I'm way off track here, but whatever. Having watched only the first 12 minutes of this video ... if Dr. Gini had this influence on me and now seeing this ... it's a huge step up! Listening/seeing Hal Abelson talk about programming and referencing the Egyptians ... I was just shaking my head, he's right to cross off computer science, it's not about that, it's bigger.

I can't wait to watch the rest. And I'm going to make my team watch this. As much as I loved SICP as taught by Dr. Gini, this is way beyond her abilities as much as it pains me to say that.
Well...that was one of the darkest puzzlers I've ever played.
I'm guessing this suit will be dismissed with prejudice. Dude seems like a real lying scumbag with an axe to grind.
I watched several MOOCs and OCW courses but this one was the first and the best I've ever came across. Most of the MOOC videos are still boring and I need to speed them up to 1.25x but SICP was so great, I could spend hours talking to my peers about every episode!

Thich Nhat Hanh is just as corrupt as the "business and finance" executives he is criticizing. His aspirations for fame and constant media attention belie the very principles he supposedly espouses, such as humility.

Thich Nhat Hanh is one step above Deepak Chopra in terms of being a "pop-spirituality" guru, so it's no wonder that hypocritical CEO's who want to relieve some of their own guilt are flocking to him.

Of course pursuing "mindfulness" practices for the sole reason of profiting your company is a corrupt practice that goes against the entire purpose of spiritual development. Why is this even a question?

The problem (for the majority of "business leaders" who lack discernment and compassion -- otherwise they wouldn't have been able to rise to the position they are in) is that real Buddhism (real "mindfulness") is hard -- and real masters don't advertise.

So who builds this "good UI that everyone trusts"? Without details of how this works, there is no way this system can grow. There is no way to have efficient key exchange except though an arduous process of everyone creating this mesh of trust manually. PKI creates this "good UI everyone trusts" with a bad UI that everyone trusts which has turned into these 4 companies that are mentioned in the article. It sounds good, but it's an iron triangle.
