That was something I taught myself at college (late high-school for those in the US) - I knew my career would be computer based, so forced myself to become natural using either hand for mousing. I switch every half an hour or so, and whilst my arms and shoulders aren't great, it's better than when I forget and do a full day on one hand.

Also have a mech at home, and seriously thinking about buying one out of my own cash for work (no way they're going to pay £100 for a keyboard...).

Maybe it is just a difference between American and European thinking. At least here in Germany the employee is essentially responsible to be at the factory gate in time and with suitable clothing, everything else is the business of the employer.
Is it freedom when I can't make an informed decision on what to do with my life?

Is it freedom when I inherit the values of those who teach me, making them the foundation of my (sub-conscious) thinking?
The issue is how to know when the self-signed cert if trustworthy. I agree that the root CA trust system is not the answer, and web of trust doesn't work in practice, but I don't know how we can know if a self-signed cert is trustworthy in the first place. Besides doing out of band fingerprint verification (assuming the sideband isn't also compromised).

That said, I'd be more inclined to trust a self-signed cert of a CA signed one. I don't even know half the CAs that my device trusts, and some I recognise (government ones) I explicitly wouldn't trust.

Anytime I read about keto diet, I read that there's much less of the "short-term" energy, e.g. you can't sprint as much (but long runs are ok). Did you experience that as well, or was it uniformly high-energy?
It seems reasonable to require "real world" conditions. Non-zero prices, whole cent prices, integral chickens per sale, non-negative chickens per sale, etc. With those, the solution is unique, and in part, that's what makes this problem interesting, hard, surprising, and with its own elegance.
Its not just fingerprint (all 10 finger impressions actually) but also retinal scans. And the govt. is gradually making it mandatory for everything from getting 50% subsidies on cooking gas to opening a bank account. It is probably the most ambitious and encompassing citizen database in the world.

And there is practically zero debate on the issues:

1. Is the govt. capable and competent enough to keep the data safe from external and internal threats ( If I had to put money, I would say all or part of the data has already made its way to at least one foreign govt.)

2. Are there enough safeguards in place to prevent this data from being misused? In a country with widespread and endemic corruption and where there have been incidents of govt. indifference or even collusion in events that cost thousands of lives and/or billions of dollars; Can the govt. be trusted with this data at all?

3. Is such a system (whose capabilities and scope far exceed those of most if not all first-world countries) really a priority in a country with grinding poverty, societal issues, illiteracy, inadequate healthcare, poor sanitation, corruption, decrepit infrastructure.

Right now, the Indian masses are probably not educated enough on the issues to have this debate and the govt. is using this fact to try and deploy it as fast as possible.
haha yeah-- not saying it's an easy problem or anything, but you'd think that we'd have about as good a chance as humanity could ever hope for if you ask while Oppenheimer, Fermi, Feynman, Bohr et alia are all working together... ON THE SAME PROJECT. And this is ignoring the fact that we wouldn't even give Einstein security clearance...

There is a big technical difference between Indian Constitution's interpretation of right and say that of American constitution.

When it comes to US constitution, the 1st amendment is the stricter condition that each and every other law should meet. Any law passed that is not consistent with 1st amendment thus becomes invalid.

Opposite is the case with Indian constitution. All the rights given by Indian constitution are totally subject to other laws passed by Indian government. Which means "freedom of expression" is a right as long as no other law prevents it. So basically government can deny you that right any time and in any case it wants.

There are total 8 grounds on which a government can pass a law to further lower the freedom of speech. These 8 grounds cover almost every possible case.

The Real Revolution in Online Education Isn’t MOOCs
Great article! I have wondered if this was possible before. The only problem is eventually you might lose your voice!

I had hand/arm problems not long after starting my first programming job, but I have solved them now.

My main advice would be to get a good chair and desk. I have a RH logic 400 chair and height adjustable desk, with an Imprint Cumulus Pro floor mat. I also use a Kinesis Freestyle 2 keyboard. All together this cost about £1700, but it was absolutely worth it. I spend approx 50% of my time standing which I find much more comfortable than sitting.

My other piece of advice would be to take regular breaks. I recently became self employed which allows me to intermingle work with exercise, socialising and eating as I want. This really helps with fatigue. At least try to take a short break once an hour. I found jawbone up good for this as you can set it to vibrate after you have been sat idly for too long.

Finally, if using the mouse is a problem, learn to use your non-dominant hand. This has pretty much solved my problems with my mouse hand.
I agree that the column formatting code shouldn't be in ls. However, if it were removed (which it won't ever be, of course: theoretical) I would want every system I ever access via a terminal to somehow alias ls to "ls | mc". To support full working of ls, though, that can't just be a straight alias, so I need a shell script to handle things like parameters to ls, which itself is then aliased to ls ... is that really better?
I don't even understand why this was necessary, with both my and my husband's employer in Nevada, I am able to get a discount on the cell bill plus I get to claim my cell phone bill for taxes. To us, at least, seems fair already..
Assuming the prices are in whole cents, here is a very silly bruteforce:

#ap, bp - prices before/after lunch
sell_distrib = [(a,b,c) for a in range(10) for b in range(16) for c in range(26) if a > b > c]
for bp in range(0, 3501):
for x in sell_distrib:
ap = (3500-x[0]*bp) // (10-x[0])
if x[0]*bp + (10-x[0])*ap == 3500 and \
x[1]*bp + (16-x[1])*ap == 3500 and \
x[2]*bp + (26-x[2])*ap == 3500:
print("Prices: {0} {1}".format(bp, ap))
print("Before lunch sales: {}, {}, {}".format(x[0], x[1], x[2]))

Note: it's Python 3 (the division!) and first line in the conditional eliminates cases where after lunch price wouldn't be a whole number because then it wouldn't add up to 3500.

It doesn't consider cases where one farmer sold everything before lunch (supposedly sales didn't go so well). It's two lines of code more if we want to check those cases.
Eliminating of 0 price and requirement that after lunch price is lower than before lunch one is covered by noticing that the solution then must have farmer A selling more than farmer B who in turn sell more than farmer C before lunch.

There is a unique solution in whole cents which is nice (no spoilers, you can copy-paste the code to Python interpreter to see it)
Is there an actual technique for solving this that you can reasonably expect to work? Seems like you basically have to code it, needs a lot of patience but not much ingenuity on the math side (maybe on the CS side for coding it practically efficiently though).
Thanks for that. Do you have an understanding of what would happen if SMTP servers switched to demanding TLS (i.e. bouncing the message if next hop doesn't offer STARTTLS?) with validated certs?

It would hurt mail reachability, but are there any useful numbers as to how badly?

Additionally, it seems as though a solution analogous to HSTS might be better than involving DNSSEC. An SMTP server could advertise that it should be connected to only over TLS - information that could be cached by the sending system.

There is still a MITM problem on 1st connection, but that's an issue for many systems and avoids trusting DNSSEC.
What is Usability?
Whilst OSX's file-naming is disgusting (hello, /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables), I don't think I've ever encountered newlines in filenames, and I've used it a fair amount. What are you referring to?
If this works, and the global demand for fossil fuels significantly reduces or disappears, imagine the impact it will have on the countries whose economies are largely dependant on exporting oil, gas or coal. A large part of the Middle East, or even countries lie Russia or Venezuela could be in for a very bad few decades.

We could be in for turbulent times, if it works.
File names often have spaces in them, but very rarely newlines. Based on xargs's current behaviour, it's clearly no problem to just not support certain characters in file names by default. I just think it would have been more useful for it to not support a smaller set of names.
I was once like you, and I still am a wee bit. There's a era on my CV where I jumped ship every ~18 months until I landed in my current role. I did this because I wanted to experience working in different market sectors and then when I got bored I moved on.

The present role, where I've been for the past 11 years, is very enjoyable and gets me out of bed in the morning...but paradoxically I do treat it somewhat as "just a job". I have to do that because otherwise I'd just burn out, and that happened once before and it nearly killed my development career.

But anyway, I wish you all the best and hope the future's bright for you.
I was grateful and surprised to see the article start off immediately with a meta-remark on the collusion between pop science media and academics. It recalled one my frustrations during grad school in the late 2000s: student researchers striving for recognition and journalists sexing up our stories that misinformed the public.

This feedback loop explains a great chunk of why we on HN spend so much time knit-picking through stories on e.g. Wired. What we read is not so much "reporting," but designs-by-committee of researchers doing things they think the public wants/needs and reporters bending stories toward what they think the public wants and needs.
Analyzing the Garbage Collection pause lengths – data from 300+ applications
Way to miss the point. There is no time where we are expected to understand the subtle differences of dimmers. Users of computers are quite frequently expected to know which operating system they have when following instructions just for operating a computer. They will also encounter certificate errors in day-to-day operations.

governments should not be able to identify their citizens

This is subtly different from "citizens can authenticate themselves to the government". Universal identity systems result in no place to hide from the system, which can be used against people that the government (or individual corrupt officials!) doesn't like.
I use the word "bark" too, albeit for a different purpose. I think that sort of spec selection is just a habit that you naturally get into when creating a lot of voice commands.

Incidentally, I've learned a bit of Korean, and it's caused me to notice that Dragon recognizes words which don't end in multiple unvoiced consonants more easily than those that do. (For example, "taze" is better than "taste" and "pad" is better than "pact".)
It supports html and css, but not Javascript. It is implemented in pure Elisp.

I wrote a few introduction guides to Emacs and its ecosystem: http://tuhdo.github.io/ . The guides do not include evil-mode though, as I use Emacs key bindings. But installing evil-mode is easy, and you can immediately use Vim key bindings for editing.

I haven't used eww but I use emacs-w3m from time to time and even though I use a tiling WM as well it's convenient to have regular editor commands work in the html buffer to copy/paste code snippets. Also stuff like hippie-expand will be able to complete symbols present in the html buffer which is pretty nice.

How quickly did you read this? He says very nearly what you are saying:

"Well, I want to be a little careful here. I think it’s important to distinguish two areas where the word neural is currently being used.

One of them is in deep learning. And there, each “neuron” is really a cartoon. It’s a linear-weighted sum that’s passed through a nonlinearity. Anyone in electrical engineering would recognize those kinds of nonlinear systems. Calling that a neuron is clearly, at best, a shorthand. It’s really a cartoon. There is a procedure called logistic regression in statistics that dates from the 1950s, which had nothing to do with neurons but which is exactly the same little piece of architecture."
Westerners don't understand that Eastern societies place far greater emphasis on respecting existing social norms/ structures and the idea of "order" .

This is there even in the Indian Constitution. The govt. is allowed to impose restrictions on fundamental rights in order to maintain order and harmony. First Amendment absolutism is totally out of the question in the Indian context.
Why do academics dress so badly?
Yes, that does sound concerning, though it doesn't necessarily mean anything in particular. If you do get an invalid cert for HN again, please consider posting the fingerprint and CA, etc.
Show HN: Dolater.io – Run background tasks on the cloud
The Eww browser is fully compatible with terminal if you run Emacs non-window mode (-nw option). It supports both HTML and CSS, and render quite nicely. Much better than any terminal web browser I used.

The browser is for looking up online documentation not available in your local machine. For example, sometime a man page is not available in my local machine. I can invoke a google query right inside Emacs and open it immediately without involving heavy weight browsers.

It is really nice to read online book like Practical Common Lisp: http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/, and directly copy the code and paste to your REPL without ever leaving Emacs.
Owner here.

dolater.io runs your background tasks in a scalable environment.

Wrap your workers in a docker image and queue tasks to it, dolater.io will process the queue as fast as possible.

It's currently in a very early stage, I would like to get some feedback, opinions, know missing features you'd need, etc.

For now it works with hub.docker.com public images.

It's not ready for production usage yet, but I'd like to get your feedback anyway as if you were considering it for your production environment.

Conspicuous consumption is an interesting concept, but it's over used.

Rolexes don't mean anything if everyone can afford one. The consumption of the middle classes has elements of all sorts non rational behavior, but dismissing people's economic motivations this way is disrespectful, especially people you don't know.

Personally I see ambition, especially ambitious for the next generation as a healthy disposition. What it will be applied to will vary and change, but the ambition itself can build momentum.
That's not great but it would be acceptable to switch focus between screens (or big enough tiles in a tiled desktop). Together with some clever mechanisms one could define task/tab/window groups per area and make switching much more manageable for large amounts of elements without having to surrender to "pick the mouse"-"select"-"back to the kb".
Good thing to work with your own data..
It is a community meet, hosted by Europe's largest association of hacker. It is not an official gathering of human right leaders, they act on selfish interests. Are they known for their humanitarian efforts, certainly not.

If anything they would break and work against the security measures, malicious or not depends on them. Through the entire meeting, they mocked the laws, quoting from handful cases which you have been able to find and discussing various security measures as they are used now. Bottom line is break the system for freedom of expression! They are just forcing governments hand to enforce more restrictions. The last thing we need is international hacker groups vouching for freedom of expression in India.

Lastly surveillance in India is nothing compared to the surveillance done by NSA or PLA. A few cases may happen here and there, but it will always be a few. The parent comment was unnecessary sensational.

I don't know how you could compare India to UK. If you seriously believe there are a "small number of such cases", I must conclude you're ignorant. In most developed countries people would be shocked if issues such as this [1] are seriously considered in court cases, instead of getting thrown out immediately for being frivolous.

Ask HN: Best time to notify App Store editorial team in order to be Featured? 
It's a common best practice to send a mail to appstoremarketing@apple.com when you want to notify Apple about your app, in order to increase your marginally low chances for being featured.

Should this be done while the app is "Waiting for review", to give the editorial team a heads up BEFORE it's released?

Or should you wait until after it's "Ready for sale"?
Not really related, but I reported a kernel-level bug to Microsoft over a year ago. It seems like it could be exploitable (it's easy enough to trigger from user-mode, but I'm not sure how easy it is to exploit for malicious uses other than DoS attacks). I received a reply that they would look into it, and that in the meantime I shouldn't disseminate it. However I'm fairly sure it hasn't been fixed, and it may never be. Should I make it public? Why or why not?
The system in the UAE is similar, but if anything more encompassing. You need a government issued ID card for pretty much everything: renting an apartment, opening a bank account, getting a SIM card (unless you are a tourist in which case you just need a passport), renting a car.

Since 2005 to get this you need a medical blood and X-ray test (to ensure you don't have HIV or TB - I wouldn't be surprised if DNA was analysed too), prints of all 10 and the sides of your hands and retinal scans. Last year the relevant authoring announced it had biometrics for 118 million people [0], which considering the population is just under 10 million isn't bad (there is a high turnover in expat workers).

The ID cards are actually quite advanced, they contain the biometrics and PKI. Pretty much everyone (even government authorities) still use signatures and photocopies of the cards for verification though...

UID is clearly surveillance tool. Its aim is to make the citizen's feel powerless. The scheme can be implemented with single fingerprint to prevent duplication, still iris scan is done. The privacy law is still not passed which could limit the access of UID data. It was forced on banks and petroleum marketers undemocratically.

This is just a news article, with no real details. If we investigate the relevant lit, we might see explorations and experiments regarding what levels of guidance assist children best.

As for pedagogy, a good one can support children in thinking for themselves, with the support of teachers who no doubt think differently than the child.

Clearly better than the craven child abuse (caning) that normal school administrators believed in.
