Ok, so APL/K/J is for people that read compressed code..

But that how relate to how build a fast interpreter? Faster than C?
This is my first real introduction to uber-low level computer science. I managed the following super simple program:

1. 00000000

2. 00000001

3. 00000000

4. 00000001

5. 00000010

6. 00000011

7. 00000011

8. 00001010

9. 00000000

10. 00000001

The CPU jumps to the instruction at #4, which tells it to add the value of #2 to #3. The instructions at #7-#10 reset the instruction pointer to 00000001, so that it'll increment to #4 again. The result is that #3 is continuously incremented up by one.

I've usually preferred to stick to really high level stuff (Like JS/Node.js), but trying this out makes me want to go learn assembly or something!
what linode box are you using?
Look at beer. There is a thriving home and micro brew type market out there.

Yes, the vast majority of beer is "big beer" and that's fine. For those actually wanting a great beer experience, they can get it.

IMHO, we will see the same thing with cannabis. There is a lot of variety, and there are also some clear "can't miss" strains that will prove sufficient to the majority of potential users.

For those really interested in that variety, I suspect the micro-brew type model will end up working well.

If medical laws are left alone in enough places, we will see ongoing variety come out of those efforts.
I for one feel quite vindicated by this endeavor I attended a bootcamp in Pearland, TX and it was terrible. Luckily I was able to get a job later in a programming related field, but it was nonetheless a ridiculous and terrible experience. If anyone is interested in my experiences they are over at sprky.co I have also reached out to the other people from my camp that had a terrible experience. Overall I think the idea of coding bootcamps is on the right track and really hope to see it succeed. However the instance of what I went through has left a bad taste in my mouth.
How do you figure that is a good thing?

Most of the things we rely on today aren't fullproof. When it gets to the point that you wouldn't be able to trust your closest friends, you consider this situation better?
I've had my suspicions about the rebranding of vocational schools as "hacker schools" and "bootcamps". Regulation and accreditation, while stifling, does allow government aid and ensures some kind of minimum quality (like restaurant health inspections).

That being said, I still think there is a valid business in training developers who want to change "stacks" (i.e. Embedded dev jumping into web dev, C# dev jumping into Erlang). The stacks, and ecosystems, are just complex enough to require allocating a lot of free time to becoming proficient and employable. Not everyone is an autodidact. (Perhaps, this is also the solution to the old "developers burn out at 35" axiom.)
Google desperately needs to release a wired version as well as upgrade the existing wi-fi versions to let you stream direct to the dongle instead of using the internet as an intermediary.

You've got to be kidding me.

Despite the policy difficulties of running a site like this (when is someone dead?, how long until release of secrets?, how to deal with lack of access to emails? etc), This site is completely insecure.

https://www.deathswitch.com/members/myaccount.php
is vulnerable to a CSRF hijack through the update email page. This literally took 20 seconds to find...who knows what would happen if I dedicated an entire minute.

In fact, there are no CSRF tokens on the entire site at all. There are big problems in these services and the policies that run them. Technical solutions might not be the best to use here. Perhaps a legal solution is the best route...

edit: I gave it 20 more seconds. Stored XSS. If I paid the money for premium service which allows file upload I'll bet I can RCE too. This is just not the type of person I want protecting my secrets.
I've been thinking about this as well. An interesting idea will be an opensource software that you can deploy on aws, azure or something like heroku yourself, and it emails you every month "are you alive?" if you don't answer for few weeks then it trigger some tasks, like sending passwords.

Again the problem is who will pay your aws when you are dead. But is supposed that you have been paying the latest invoices with your credit card. To be honest I haven't digg enough in the legal terms of these cloud providers.
You could also say the same thing about writing and the printing press.

Most people who can read don't do much noteworthy with their knowledge, but that doesn't mean the invention of writing and the printing press weren't revolutionary technologies that had the potential to transform the cultures and societies that came in contact with them, and radically increase the potential of those people who best made use of them.

Psychedelics hold this potential.
> The more diversity in a team, the less likely it is to happen.

If we're talking about strictly gender diversity, that's speculation. If we're talking about a diversity of past programming experiences, then you're correct. But you were definitely arguing that women can bring something to a project simply by their virtue of being women.

> You seem to be reading into it quite differently than I meant it.

I don't think so.

You're saying that men and women think so differently about programming that an all-women team can never be as good as the those-same-women-plus-one-man team.

I think you mean well, but what you're saying is damaging. And unproven.

You suggest that, at least regarding programming, there's man-type thinking and woman-type thinking. If that were true, there'd be an identifiable difference between programs written by men and women.

Gender diversity in a profession is desirable not because people have special gender-specific knowledge to bring to the table, but because they should just be able to be at the table, period.
It's a bit fragile. I'll lose connections every once in a while or whatever -- usually just reconnecting to the current thing the chromecast is doing will solve it. But for ~$35 and the unbelievable ecosystem of support it has, it's really hard to beat.

I use mine frequently (basically daily) with youtube, plex and podcast addict and pretty often to mirror tabs from chrome and mirror my android device.

Most of the time the issues are with my home wifi setup and not with the device. But it's not so complicated a platform that there's lots of fiddling to do. I've tried various other systems to get my media to my tv and bar none, chromecast is the best one.
Behind the Mic: the science of talking to computers
The entity I'm primarily worried about tracking here is Google.

And, pretty much trivially, if the URL was added to the blacklist, they have the corresponding URL to the hash.

(Not to mention, even if they didn't, their core product is based around crawling webpages. I'd be highly surprised if they didn't have hashes of the URLs they visited.)

And, even beside that, URLs are relatively low-entropy. Especially with the path-splitting that safe-browsing does.

Learn ObjectiveC or Swift for creating social media apps like Instagram/Snapchat
Which one would be more efficient and easier to use/ learn. I know a little more than basic programming but I was just wondering whether Swift or Objective C would be the language to choose to create social media like apps. Thanks!
Good work!

Could be better, as no accessibility for people with disabilities referenced at a technical conformance level: this needs to be a part of the guidelines.

Keyboard access (e.g., http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/access...) should be a part of the overall guidelines, even without annotation to support of accessibility. This should include visual focus, as well as well defined default keyboard shortcuts, where supported by the operating system, window manager, or application conventions.

At a deeper level, concepts of textual representation of the user interface via Name, Role, State, etc. need to be conveyed. Language used in this guide that is heavily visual centric should be considered and revised if it leads end developers to ONLY think of visual situations, or encourages them to ignore accessibility.
I kinda agree, on my deathbed I doubt I'll be thinking about work passwords!

I can't really think of much of anything work-related that should be a secret known by only one person and released upon death. I feel like part of my job is ensuring that at least one other person knows how to access our accounts. We actually use an encrypted password manager to which at least two of us have access.
Also, just a follow up: many organizations in my industry are actually completely blocking most major ad networks (including AppNexus and DoubleClick) at their proxies due to all the issues caused by malvertising. My organization is currently looking into it. Malvertising is a much more serious problem than people think, though I think this article and whitepaper is slightly FUD.
They should implement some shared key encryption for you. But I'm not sure if any systems provide building blocks. For instance, does FB login have any API for encrypting data?

The secrets they store should be offline and require manual intervention to retrieve.

Also, what's to stop a false triggering? It should require confirmation from m of n sources you specify. If I had some serious life secrets, I'd want to be very sure they don't get sent out just because I'm in a coma for a month.
The big issue - as has been mentioned - is how do we know this service will be there when we need it.

The answer is it needs to be tied to some infrastructure that's reliable and already has access to this data.

And yes, paying $2/mo for this is nonsensical for someone relatively young. This is a problem without a solution, but this is also not a solution. To be frank, the odds that this domain even resolves this time in 2015 are pretty low.

This alone does not warrant a service. This should be a piece in a bigger puzzle - a small part of a bigger suite of life contingency services.

Wonder if their private plans for monetization involve blackmailing the bereaved relatives of the recently deceased. Roald Dahl wrote a story about this (one of his short stories for adults, not his children's stories), "the Bookseller".
It would be cool to see a similar service encrypt the data in the Bitcoin blockchain and have an automated way of decrypting the data. This way no company or people were involved.

Does the blockchain support something like this?
Sure? The problem is that kyro can't see any potential upvotes on sillysaurus3 specifically asking for more.
> Because the bootcamp industry hasn't been around very long, you're right, there is no good data.

The training industry has been around for a long time. I would suspect there is years, perhaps decades, worth of data, just not under the name "bootcamp".
I loved the in-game radio and the enormous number of goofy/awful commercials. It was a huge amount of fun to build a city in SC2K or SCURK, fly through it running missions, and then burn it to the ground with an Apache "fighting crime" (aka clearing traffic jams the easy way).
Meh. Do what I did; write your 1Password down on a bit of paper, hand-make a wax seal, put the paper in an envelope, seal with wax, give envelope to friend. :-)

(If a critical password changes - e.g. Dropbox, which actually contains my 1Password file - that password is encrypted, sent via email, I tell him the password via some other means (usually involving some sort of puzzle just to keep life interesting), he decrypts it and writes it on the envelope.)

And yes, suffice to say I trust my friend absolutely.

As well as being the author of the algorithms in NaCl, djb is also a specialist in secure software development, as tptacek mentioned.

You can be reasonably sure that his code is bug free, but they went the extra step of proving the absence of certain types of bugs using static analysis tools. One of the project's deliverables mentioned they used Frama-C to prove the absence of integer overflows, for example. (I will update this comment when I find the specific report.)

Other projects take the traditional approach of trusting that the code looks right until someone proves otherwise.

Edit: The report was probably one of these, which I can't access anymore:

Without debating the merits or otherwise of this service, it's worth using it as a reminder to spend a little bit of time and not much money and ensure you and your loved ones have a legal Will.

Your wishes are important after you die (and statistically, we're all likely to die). It's well worth recording them, even if you feel you don't have much in the way of assets to pass on.

Oh man, you've just opened the floodgates. I just love to geek out on this topic. :)

I've been in the adult industry for almost a decade- both in "hardware" (sex toys) and software (mobile app store, video streaming). What sort of innovations are you looking for? Content, social, tech?

A sex toy company I find innovative is Revel Body. Most vibrators use a rotary motor that spins an off-kilter weight to create the vibration. Revel Body developed their own patented linear motor that uses magnetic fields of alternating polarity to slide a weight back and forth in a linear motion. It's super quiet, more powerful and last longer than the older motors. They also designed their own chip to give the user precise control of the frequency and speed. I would have loved to have used RB's motor in the toys I designed.

Lovepalz has the Zeus and Hera toys that couple hardware with software for long distance partners. Minna toys have pressure sensitive control panels.

The folks at Utherverse created an immersive adults-only virtual world. I believe they launched a major overhaul to their platform last month. They've also built a VR compatible platform specifically for the Oculus Rift universe. In terms of VR porn, Utherverse is at the forefront.

For software, I think we tend to look at consumer-facing sites and products, but there's a wealth of tech innovation happening behind the scenes. SendFaster, while not an adult company (but a tech co that powers a number of adult sites, mine included) has amazing TCP acceleration and image compression software.

While not a startup, Streamates developed their own live streaming technology that's used by millions of visitors daily.

Speaking of my company, I co-founded the MiKandi Adult App Store. We launched almost 5 years ago as the first adults only app store, before Android really hit it big. Being early adopters of Android and one of the few third party Android app stores at the time, we really dove head first into it. Under our belt today, we've got app distribution, mobile video streaming, in-app billing, notifications, DRM and content management, and soon-to-launch an ebook reader, mobile game creator, and comic reader and creator. We've tried to push other tech forward but are usually shot down soon after launching them- our Google Glass adult app, Tits & Glass, and our third party Chrome app store, MiKandi Mint.

As far as the problem we're trying to solve, it's less about a problem in the adult industry as much as it's a problem in the mainstream tech and banking industries, which is being discussed a lot here. I wrote about the hostile business world here: http://modelviewculture.com/pieces/sextech-startups-in-a-hos...
I guess this is where the confirmation bias comes in.

As someone who would consider themselves to be a realistic 'Apple apologist' (I like Apple, as a company and their products, and tend to assume the positive for everything they do), I see a large negative bias against Apple on HN.
Unfortunately that is too simple. These are secrets. People forget to update credit cards in sites all the time and you're going to immediately shoot an email off on a failed CC transaction or when you cancel a credit card hastily? An email containing secrets?

There's a lot that can go wrong that has to be thought up before-hand and debugging in production for this type of service is completely unacceptable.
Wait. People are upset about how unintuitive Apple's preferences are, but Firefox having config hidden away in the advanced about:config is OK?
I don't even know how to "unlock an experience". I'll take the downvotes.
I have a slight feeling I'm likely to talk myself into a hole no matter what I say on this matter.

Yes, there are overlaps. From what experience I've had at least, their opinions are valuable to me. Not necessarily as better or worse, but as coming from a different perspective.

I think there's a feedback mechanism in effect. The people who benefit the most from the way schools work become the leaders who decide how schools should work. To their perception, the education provided is perfectly adequate for preparing students. So if you don't succeed in a career after going through the school system, it must be something you did wrong.
Ask HN: How are you suppose to find a job?
How are you suppose to get a job if almost all job offers available online require like 10 to 5 years of experience. Should one still apply? Can you share your stories about finding your first job that you did not get straight out of college, that you found online, also share what was your hit ratio. Thanks.
I'm going to assume that Apple (well, the engineers there) are at least as smart as you and had previously taken this into consideration.
Haskell Is Exceptionally Unsafe (2012)
I have one at home that I use as my daily keyboard. It's pretty cool. One very nice thing is how quiet it is, especially with a 'skin' on it.

One thing I really don't like about it is the lack of utilisation of the thumbs. I've been getting pain in (especially) my left thumb joint. I believe it's due to having to curl my thumb in to get to the meta / alt / windows keys.

This was really bad on my work Microsoft keyboard, but isn't great on my typematrix either.

I just got a second hand Kinesis Advantage keyboard for work, and really really like the thumb sections, and also the remapping support. In less than a week my thumb pain has cleared up quite a lot.

I also really wish that the two sections on the typematrix were angled a bit outwards. It seems to work OK, since it's in rows it's a lot better than normal keyboards, but I feel that being able to spread my hands apart would be a good thing.

I really really like the remapping support on the Kinesis advantage.

I'm using the workman keyboard layout ( http://workmanlayout.com/ ) which seems to work very well for me. The biggest downside is the lack of native support for it. On the Advantage, I remapped it in about 45 seconds total, and now that keyboard works anywhere I plug it in, without needing any setup.

Otherwise, though, I'm pretty happy with my typematrix. My wrist angles are waaay better than they ever were on a normal staggered qwerty keyboard. And it's so quiet I can type while my wife and baby are asleep on the couch right next to me without disturbing them. That certainly wasn't the case with my MS keyboards.

I also really like how little desktop space it takes up - the mouse is now a lot closer and doesn't need a huge reach over to the side to pick up.
Whoa, piccolo seems pretty cool. It would be nice if there were preassembled kits, not too familiar with laser-cutting and the like.
I don't know. I heard about nibbles right at the beginning and then promptly forgot them. I even remember thinking that the word was silly. But it set me up for a very nice epiphany the first time I saw bytes written as hex and played a part in my instantly grasping that.

I didn't read anything implying he is an uneducated hick unless you think the term "grease monkey" itself has that implication. But I don't that that term has the connotation you're saying it does. Whenever I've heard "grease monkey" it seems more like the car equivalent of "hacker" – that tinkering with cars is something you deeply understand and enjoy, not just a job.

Not that there's anything wrong with (what's likely) shared hosting, but it doesn't paint the best picture.

Trust is a statistical gamble.

You already cannot trust emails or text messages from your closest friends because they are easy to spoof. And it is better when everyone is aware of that, I think.

Whether you can (or cannot) trust your friend wasn't changed by technology, in my opinion. What you generally cannot trust is that info you confidentially told them was not eavesdropped. You never could, but statistically it was good enough. Now, statistically it isn't good enough, and therefore you shouldn't.
PlayStation TV impressions: Small things come in small packages
It somewhat matches my experience too. Generally I'd say there's 3 classes of blocking: total block (twitter, fb), rate limiting (google), and general QoS downgrade (which seems so random that it might just be the infrastructure being so bad). I really doubt any of that happens ad-hoc based on your usage profile. And yes I did notice that certain routes might not work on non China Telecom networks, but that again is probably just bad infrastructure. I always assume The Great Firewall is 80% market protectionism and 20% censorship (or rather irrational fear on the side of the govt). Wouldn't worry from a user's perspective.
