A community should raise money to have libsodium audited by professional crypto auditors. I'm not sure appealing to the ease of implementing DJB's theories is a good idea given how screwed up a lot of the crypto in the field actually is.

All I'm saying is, in general, crypto is hard, and an easy theory doesn't change how hard it is to get an implementation exactly right.
Same. I love these giant ships, there's something just incredibly interesting about the technical challenge they solve.

Sorry, I was unclear. I was comparing Threefish to ChaCha20. Yes, I can see reasons why someone would adopt Threefish over AES (AES predates mainstream tweakable cipher modes and, more importantly, was designed at a time when our understanding of microarchitecture side channels was crappy).

What I can't see is why someone would militate for Threefish over Salsa20, or one of the eSTREAM portfolio ciphers, or at least say "wait and see" on CAESAR. What process happened that landed on Threefish for you?

Incidentally: native support for tweakability is a good thing, but it doesn't mean you don't need support for "weird modes of operation". A tweakable cipher core is a primitive that you use with other tweakable block cipher modes.

I'm a little confused by your claim that Threefish got as much review as Salsa20; Salsa20 is an eSTREAM winner, implying that a pretty big team of some of the best cryptographers in the world tried hard to break it as a cipher, and Threefish is just an artifact of a SHA-3 contestant that wasn't selected.

Finally, 6 cpb isn't great, is it?

I'm a medical resident at a prestigious teaching hospital. I hate to admit it, but I've lost my empathy already.

I wish this surprised me, and I wish more would-be doctors understood what they are getting into; that inspired me to write this essay: http://jseliger.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/why-you-should-beco... .

the system again drains us of the very thing we enrolled in medical school to be.

And most people who make it through the system seem to want to then reproduce it. Grad schools have some similar problems, but they're less pernicious in terms of hours demanded and debt taken.
1,2) As so many have pointed out already, this type of data is what relational databases excel at manipulating. Unless you already have a MySQL server running, I'd recommend you try PostgreSQL. It offers great performance and scalability.

3) Redis is a great tool in its own right but it's more of a key-value data store than a full fledged database. It's fantastic for caching, tasks queuing or cross application communication.
I don't think this is a great use of crypto auditor time, for what it's worth. Microsoft SecureChannel, Truecrypt, libOTR, GnuPG, PHP mcrypt --- all much more important audit targets.
Oh yes, this is not exclusive. As we like having many examples to understand a concept, we like to have things in many pieces, it helps us interact with it. In FP the set of ideas is so short and so abstract it ends up as an information ~vacuum. The other idioms let you assemble simpler less generic parts but at least it let's you acquire information, and that's something everybody likes.
Shocked for what?
Mysql is a good choice for many cases.

Postgres has great developer ergonomics but can be extremely challenging operationally at scale. Also: finding good Postgres DBAs is difficult.

If you've got about an hour and a half to spend, and you enjoyed this article, I'd like to recommend a lecture given by Will Wright in 2003.

He covers his background, early computer games, the origins of Sim City, the Sims, as well as more abstract/high-level discussion of game design and simulation.

Some high level themes of the talk: using the computer as a modeling tool, simulation design, Will Wright's game design principles and philosophy, programming for two dynamic processes "the software" and "the player's model of the system", and traversal of possibility spaces in game design and simulation.

How long does it normally take to design one of these switches, when you've been doing it most of your life? Knowing absolutely nothing about the complexity of these switches, but knowing what small hardware teams have been able to accomplish at companies I've worked at, 3 years sounds like a more than reasonable time frame.

Colorado, probably. Washington, not yet.

The Washington Liquor Control Board, in its infinite wisdom, only authorized about 25% of the total amount of legal pot-growing necessary to satisfy demand in the state, which means that the black market here in Washington is still flourishing: http://www.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2014/07/08/how-wash...

Thankfully, it sounds like the LCB started changing its tune about pot production on Friday, but given how slow they seem to be in implementation of things like this, who knows how long it'll be before there's enough legal supply for the state's demand. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/State-may-allow-more-lega...

It isn't a question of "news". Much of the content that appears on HN has been around for a while. The only newness criterion is that a story not have had significant attention here in the last year or so.

What prompted the change? HN prefers original sources, and stories consisting (nearly) entirely of pictures tend to be treated as lightweight. The site has worked this way for years.

The U.S. has done the prohibition experiment twice now, and it was an unmitigated disaster both times. The data are unambiguous: prohibition doesn't work, never has, never will. And yet we're still arguing about it.

Funny thing, though, we've done a similar experiment with tax cuts for the wealthy three times now: once in the 1920's, once starting in the 1980s, and most recently in Kansas. The results have been similarly disastrous all three times. And yet we're still arguing about that too.

> Does negative emotional reinforcement really work at such long time remove?

So, I don't know about regret specifically, but when researchers asked people to remember instances where they felt specific emotions, and asked how strongly the emotions reoccurred during that process, the number one emotion was embarrassment. Some theorize that fear of embarrassment driven by memories of making mistakes is one of the leading factors in the fluency gap between the first and second languages of children to foreign parents (who speak English [or the language of their peers] much better than their parents native language, even when their parents don't speak English at all -- somewhat odd considering children _need_ to communicate with their parents to survive and get basic needs met).

24-28 hours straight? This shouldn't be legal if you ask me. Even truck drivers are way more limited to how long they can drive by the DOT. Sure, you are moving around which might keep you more alert than a truck driver but anything beyond about 16 hours max (depending on the person) really just seems like asking for trouble. (eg. mistakes) And when those mistakes could be someone's quality of healthcare, even their life, it should be deemed unacceptable.
New book: Getting Started with Adafruit Trinket
Arduino's ubiquity and simplicity has led to a gigantic surge in the use of microcontrollers to build programmable electronics project. Despite the low cost of Arduino, you're still committing about $30 worth of hardware every time you build a project that has an Arduino inside. This is where Adafruit's Trinket comes in. Arduino-compatible, one-third the price, and low-power, the Trinket lets you make inexpensive and powerful programmable electronic projects. Written by one of the authors of Adafruit's Trinket documentation, Getting Started with Trinket gets you up and running quickly with this board, and gives you some great projects to inspire your own creations.

Agreed. I'm willing to put up with soldered-on RAM and minimal expansion for my rMBP because I see benefits from it. I don't see any such benefits in this Mac. I can just build a Hackintosh and be done with it, and I think that's what I'll do next.

I wouldn't call those places where sharing has been very effective. A certain level of knowledge is shared due to it's nature: open source, sometimes remote, sometimes volunteer run. But beyond that, domain experts who do not share their knowledge publicly or very freely are just as common as anywhere else.

Welp. I keep forgetting how absurd microprocessors are now. Still... That's got to be a fun soldering job. And those are 1.8v / 3v chips, whereas if you're using USB you've got 5v input.

Does it support interrupts on the pins? Or just polling?

Ask HN: What are the best company technical blogs you read and why?
I agree. I was really looking forward to what apple would do with the Mac Mini as I wanted it to be my first apple purchase. To be fair,the update seems like a downgrade. Even on the keynote, the product seemed neglected.

It looks like I am going look for small form factor cases and stick Linux on them and probably get a Mac book Pro when I save up enough money.

The threat of being ranked? We are ranked constantly starting at 1st grade. Competitive ranking should be a very familiar feeling for every American at least.

When humans face the prospect of being ranked, the only option then becomes to lie, cheat, take shortcuts, or put lives at risk?! It may be an understandable byproduct for the weak, the proud, or the immature. Cheating is certainly endemic in our society, but I don't believe that absolves the cheaters; it's still criminal/unethical and it should still get you fired, throw off the team, or sent to jail.

There is something important to study and learn from this disaster, but my personal opinion is it's not so much a problem with performance evaluations, but rather a spectacular engineering failure combined with a company rotten to the core that completely lost its sense of purpose (hint: serving customers, not short term profit).

I do expect that adult humans can be subjected to significant workplace stress and pressure and still be expected to behave ethically and responsibly. I think that the law and justice expect the same.
It is not unambiguous that Prohibition didn't work. http://www.nber.org/papers/w3675.pdf

Well nothing new. Business establishments review customers. Your bank review you, your regular restaurant review you. The only thing is technology lets you aggregate review much better than what was previously possible in both ways.

That sounds like the company is going to reward lifestyle inflation, poor financial judgment and excessive consumption with more money. I doubt that the group would judge my financial needs (frequent international travel and saving for early retirement) to be as important as some idiot who bought more house than he needed on an exploding mortgage that he didn't understand, but if someone told me I didn't get a raise because I didn't "need" it I would definitely say "fuck you, I'm off"
I can live with soldered-on RAM - there is a bit of an Apple premium to the RAM they sell, but at least you can get the configuration you want. I'm much more disappointed by the lack of a quad-core option. I was planning on picking up a high-end quad-core Mac mini when they updated the line, but after the announcement on Thursday I ran down to the nearest Apple Store and bought a 2012 quad-core Mac mini instead.

I wish I could have bought the 2.6GHz quad-core as opposed to the 2.3GHz, but that was a build-to-order option only. Still, the 2.3GHz is much faster than the top end 2014 Mac mini when it comes to multithreaded performance:

>40% of youth in the USA today do not even have that

Puh-leese. Who do you think is buying this? There's no way that figure is anywhere near accurate for people living in "abject poverty".

>Gates, Buffett, and others who claim to be philanthropists work from a point of ignorance, believing that all youth at least have their basic needs covered by this society.

You are aware that the Gates Foundation spends the majority of its resources in Africa, trying to get medicine to the thousands of children that die from ailments that are easily treatable in the US? Almost any child in the US looks massively privileged by comparison. The fact that almost all of our children live to adulthood is a testament to that.

>The idea of taking a couple of months without income to make a startup is laughable- how would I eat and make my house payment?

I don't really know what you're getting at here. Since you were poor growing up, you're too terrified to ever take the risk involved in a startup? Most people are, no matter their economic background. Most startup founders are taking the same kind of risk and don't have years of savings to live off of, but they gather the balls and do it anyway. You're attributing too much of this to your disadvantaged upbringing.
