Looks like no, then. Appears to be a new breach of some other service.
He probably means that it allows him to focus on the backend by making the frontend easy to develop.
It's also possible that they have it _all_ and none of the 3 "teasers" are indicative of the complete list. You should assume this is the case if you use dropbox, and act accordingly.

Cool, but I'm very skeptical (at least if they purport to deliver the picture in the article).

Here's an article discussing the pros/cons of hard ar/see-through ar:

It seems like it's still a very, very hard problem to solve.
One thing to consider is that Dropbox offers free space for referrals, so there's an incentive for people to create multiple dropbox accounts that they never intend to use. It makes sense that they would choose a very weak password for that account.
Sure. I added "local" about a second after posting for this reason. However even with -f you can just specify an interval when running tests outside your lan.
Arguably, it has mandatory manual GC.
I tend to agree. Yet human thoughts are presented in the form of pictures (dreams? you don't really see text in front of you when dreaming).

It's one thing that a computer cannot make sense of 4000 bytes of a tweeting bird, but human brain instantly recognizes the rendered sign.

Also, videos and music are very hard to describe in text: it just does not have this unique feel video or music piece does.
This might be some really cool technology, but $500 million rounds for pre-revenue, pre-real product, pre-publicly known companies is what happens when you're at the end of the line for a funding bubble.
Swedish Rounding
I did some research on textual vs graphical representation for my master. According to that research (not on my comp so I can't reference it) - one of main advantages of text is a near universal set of symbols (like Ascii for images), more constrained relationships (images are 2D while text is essentially 1D).
There is obviously the fence to sit on, fighting with privacy advocates on one side and "these ad's aren't relevant to me" on the other, but my primary reason is to see if there is a viable market for privacy respecting apps or if ultimately, people just don't care.
> As an example, imagine you're monitoring /. Nagios runs NRPE, NRPE looks at df /, and if it's 85 percent full (by default), sends a warning page. At 90 percent it sends a critical page. A smarter system collects the df / results, delivers it to a central timeseries database. The new data point is used to create a new projection, and the new projection is used to determine the time to an actual failure. The system above might have an idea of how long it takes to respond, repair, and resolve and issue a page when the disk will fill up if not responded to within 4 hours. That's the ideal solution, IMO.

We've actually implemented exactly this at my current workplace. We have a nagios check that queries graphite and calculates a "days until full" value, and alert based on that. We have similar checks for monitoring other infrastructure. These checks take a lot of work to get the right calculation and threshold values, but once they work, it's pretty great.
OpenMailBox.org 2015 funding: 20% done: Remaining: 6926€
I feel this has been done for the sole purpose of making some money from gullible people (not that making money by finding security holes is bad in itself, as long as it's also combined with some social responsibility).

Making unsubstantiated statements like "6,937,081 DROPBOX ACCOUNTS HACKED" and requests like "MORE BITCOIN = MORE ACCOUNTS PUBLISHED ON PASTEBIN" makes this whole thing seem like a scam.
Being “Happy” in Tehran
When seven Iranians were arrested for dancing to a home video of "Happy" by Pharrel, Melika Behrooz wondered, "If people in Iran could ever be happy when their regime had control over their every move." She then traveled to Tehran, her hometown, to photo catalogue her "private resistance" against political oppression, but also western media's depiction of her beautiful, albeit troubled, home. She photographed herself listening to the song against the country's most iconic backdrops. Her inspiring art "is a story on being happy in Iran.
The website says my gmail address has been pwned:

"In September 2014, a large dump of nearly 5M usernames and passwords was posted to a Russian Bitcoin forum. Whilst commonly reported as 5M "Gmail passwords", the dump also contained 123k yandex.ru addresses. Whilst the origin of the breach remains unclear, the breached credentials were confirmed by multiple source as correct, albeit a number of years old.

Compromised data: Email addresses, Passwords"

Is there some way to figure out exactly which password was compromised?
Russian hackers use ‘zero-day’ to hack NATO, Ukraine in cyber-spy campaign
Where I work, at a mobile ad network, they put everyone on call on a rotating basis even if they are not devops or server engineers. We use Pager Duty and it works well. Since there is always a primary and secondary on call person, and the company is pretty small and technical, everyone feels "responsible" during their shifts, and at least one person is capable of handling rare, catastrophic events. I often wonder which is more important: good docs on procedures for failure modes or a heightened sense of responsibility. A good analogy may be the use of commercial airline pilots. They can override autopilot, but I am told rarely do. The safest airlines are good at maintaining their heightened sense of vigilance despite the lack of the need for it 99.999% of the time.

Yes, and this carries over very well when talking about code and programs.

Whenever I hear about the stories of the potential of graphical programming languages, "live" code environments living in their own VM, and graph-based logic stuff, the first thing that comes to mind is how come those systems have such a short shelf-life even when some of the concepts behind them are so brilliant.

Between the increased storage space, the interoperability issues, and the exponential difficulty in dealing with non-text media in a variety of operations, there's so much more additional friction to these systems that in the end they're not worth it. Unless, of course, they can be trivially converted to plaintext and parsed as such, then they have a fighting chance.

I don't know about IBM channels. PCIe root has the ability to restrict transfer to a certain range and depending on system configuration there are remapping registers that translate between PCIe address and host memory address -- which you can fudge with to remap things how you like.

Firewire, was basically external PCIe (before there was PCIe) and you would be able to do DMA and there was a proof of concept of someone using an early iPod to read/write host memory.

You can't with things like eSATA or USB. There is no DMA capability for the external device to exploit. The host controller (EHCI and alike) are the ones doing the DMAing. You can't write directly to memory with those. Of course USB is exploited by doing things like descriptor buffer overflows.
Fascinating and educational information from Ilya, as always, especially about improved mobile latency in North America.

Regarding the format of the webpage: The video completely blocks my laptop browser window in Firefox v. 31.0, making it almost impossible to read the transcript. Sticky HTML elements on text-content heavy pages drive me crazy. Awhile ago I made a simple bookmarklet that makes me a much happier consumer of such pages. One version of it walks the DOM and unaffixes fixed DOM elements. The other changes them to display: none. You can roll your own pretty easily, or try out the ones I made at StaticDing.org. They both make it easy for me to read the transcript of Ilya's presentation. Without them, I probably would have given up.
Yeah definitely, combined with reading/watching the Nvidia info it starts to make sense - the technology is incredible on many levels but the problem is it means you've only got 1/5th -> 1/6th the resolution. if they're truly solved (and patented) that with some stroke of genius, they could completely win the VR wars. Also interesting to wonder whether the solution could be applicable to a light field camera.
I can't speak to what the poster meant, I just want to emphasize the point that misquoting simply isn't a good practice when people desire a healthy discussion. And yes I do not doubt that you are missing some nuance.

We'd never had a fire drill in this building, but like all Americans we'd been through dozens of fire drills before, mostly in school.

I don't really understand your second question. Our office did not employ or appoint a fire warden. In any case, I was unaware of anyone outside the fire department who was upset.

In a past life, we had good luck with obligating dev teams to be (co-)oncall for their own systems until it conformed to to an agreed-upon SLA for N months, before taking on oncall for the system.

That aligned everybody's interests: devs came to SREs for design review and code review, and were incentivized to not just throw code over the wall.

Yeah, from what I remember the last time this paper showed up on HN, they didn't really claim "huh" was a universal word, just there was some vaguely similar equivalent in many languages.

That seems like a much weaker (and more believable) claim, but it probably doesn't make for good headlines...

All the instances of these that I've seen rely on social engineering to do their thing though (we had a teacher at my school fall victim to one recently, which is moderately entertaining [when you have up to date backups] when you have a bunch of read/write network shares), as opposed to regular files/executables 'infected with a virus' which is how I generally look at viruses in the traditional sense.

The arguments presented are highly biased. Text is great but images conveying the same meaning are always better. Why ?
We can grasp the same information when conveyed via image. Say you are conveying an idea to someone or speaking to a conference - you always try to minimize text and use graphics to illustrate concepts as people tend to understand faster that way.

Since nobody has said it yet... don't salt or hash your passwords, and don't parrot the line "salt your hashes" because it's a massive oversimplification and the easy/naive way is wrong.

Hashes, cryptographic hashes included, are designed to be fast. Unfortunately, that means that they're also fast to brute force.

Use bcrypt[1] or a proper key derivation function[2] like PBKDF2[3]

I feel Angular is better than almost everything out there but still not quite right. It seems way too complex for what it does, and the syntax looks like somebody vomited all over your code. Does two-way databinding have to be so awkward? Angular does help you in writing maintainable code (which is vital for JavaScript - dealing with large JS codebases is hard), but it also ties you to a technology which is probably transitional. I have high hopes for 2.0, and I hope they work out these issues.
To protect in-flight data HTTPS encryption would be sufficient, since the attacker would have to MITM the connection and forge certificates instead of passively listening.

But once it reaches the end device it is impossible for snapshat to deliver on its promises of ephemeral messaging.
To display the data the device needs to be able to decrypt it. If it can be decrypted it can be copied.

It's very much the same conceptual impossibility that DRM faces.

So in the end it doesn't really matter whether it's ECB or something better. It remains a DRM scheme.
Doesn't any civilization-ending apocalypse, if human-precipitated, necessarily imply that any of the political and moral dimensions of other comments are a waste of time?

What good is handing down our political thinking to a new society if it failed to protect our "advanced" one?

What good is handing down technology (including stuff like fire and domestication of animals) if it's going to be subject to the old-school rule 34 (if it exists, it will be weaponized)?
There was a bit of hand waving at the end there. Per lane mile of rail and road can run into the millions. So maybe you get 1000 miles of road. And what about Bridges? I think there is still room for airships.
"assault rifle" has a particular meaning, and generally specifies that it be capable of multi-round firing on a single trigger pull, which is a useful and meaningful distinction in weapon operation.

I think you're referring to "assault weapon", which was a buzz-word for anything that scared people during the last major gun debate.
The only "news" here is that you can MITM HTTPs when you own a trusted CA.

Of course you can break Snapchat if you can get users to install your CA cert. Snapchat is no different from every other application in that respect.

It probably depends on how far you try to get from angular in angular-based project. As soon as you try to do something differently - it might bite you and bite you badly.

As for promises - try to define custom parser or formatter on ngModelController using anything asynchronous :)

And yes, you are right - it might be easy to understand other's angular code for you, but when javascript developer come into angular project, try to explain why utility library called 'Service' and why DI does not take care of loading these dependencies :)

I never said they were not real, only that it's users' hack, not necessarily Dropbox' one. I see a bunch of articles asking people to change their passwords - if they believe Dropbox is hacked and not patched yet, changing the password won't do any good. It could even be worse. Anyway, given the fact that passwords in clear texts leaked and that Dropbox doesn't store in clear text (they've had multiple articles on the subject in the past), it's most probably not really a Dropbox hack. Given they recently blogged about phishing [1], I'm sure they were already aware of what's going on.

There are some _single_ financial firms with a trillion under management. Blackrock comes to mind. So it's not a stretch that there are industries in that range.
There's a pretty big difference in that the web has far more features.

Unless, you intend for C++'s replacement to have even more features than C++, which hardly seems even possible.
You have to consider the chances that they might just think your warning is yet another phishing/scam email and ignore it; but then again, if these people have been reusing passwords everywhere, maybe not...
Please note, I don't think all the features I listed are desirable. (Pie menus for dragging gestures? Pretty hokey.)

Ethersheet allows typing ranges in formulas and that is possibly enough. Dragging to choose a range can be nice but it has to be implemented carefully. When to stop acquiring cells for the range and return focus to the formula editor? Some versions of Excel do this badly. For example, after dragging to enter a range you use arrow keys to balance parens. Excel thinks you are still selecting cells and inserts multiple ranges into your formula.
When I look at something far away, close things are out of focus. When I look at close things, distance is out of focus. When I watch a 3D movie, I just align the glasses and things are focused according to the camera that shot it.
My understanding is that other languages that don't have this separation of compiling objects and linking them together, can't do incremental builds, and are generally quite slow to build.
I don't get the point of this to be honest ... things that can be stored as text generally are, those that aren't, e.g. videos, photos, sound files, can't be represented by text - they're media.
This, sorry for the lack of clarification.
When your eyes look at an object in 3D space, they not only swivel so both are looking at it at the same time (convergence), but your eye muscles manipulate the lenses so the object is clear and not blurry (focus). Think of how a camera focusses it's lens to bring an object into clear sharp view.

So in the case of the Oculus, the lenses in your eyes remain focussed on the images on the screens right in front of you, rather than changing depending on how far away the object is in the virtual scene. So there's a disparity there that causes your brain to go wtf and stops it from fully accepting what it's seeing as real.
Ask HN: What goes into a personal website?
I have been attempting to build my personal website for a few weeks now, but every time I try to get a start, I have no idea what is eye catching or what should be left out.
As a soon-to-be college grad, I think it is important for my site to catch the eye of recruiters and give more information than my resume can, and impress those who are looking at it. Any advice?

> TL;DR: systemd breaks badly (at the moment) when having to deal with non-standard setups (ZFS, cryptsetup)...

Come on, it's a little more specific than that. I have machines with zfs, machines with cryptsetup, all of them run arch and systemd, never had any problem. But of course, I don't have sysvinit scripts.
No, you didn't really got anything. You just put words in my mouth with a quick snarky response that misunderstoods what I wrote.

Whether your replacement handles the use cases people need the old product for intentionally or unintentionally (in the case of the web vs CICS) doesn't matter.

What matters is that your design DOES handle those use cases and those needs.

You can obviously end up designing something as a replacement for X without specific intent or even knowledge of X.

But you can't design something as a replacement for X if it doesn't handle the needs that people use X for.

The author's Closing Remarks give rather short-shrift to the nuanced thinking Dick Gabriel has contributed to this idea. Gabriel's "Worse is Better" page https://www.dreamsongs.com/WorseIsBetter.html concludes with:

"You might think that by the year 2000 I would have settled what I think of worse is better - after over a decade of thinking and speaking about it, through periods of clarity and periods of muck, and through periods of multi-mindedness on the issues. But, at OOPSLA 2000, I was scheduled to be on a panel entitled "Back to the Future: Is Worse (Still) Better?" And in preparation for this panel, the organizer, Martine Devos, asked me to write a position paper, which I did, called "Back to the Future: Is Worse (Still) Better?" In this short paper, I came out against worse is better. But a month or so later, I wrote a second one, called "Back to the Future: Worse (Still) is Better!" which was in favor of it. I still can’t decide. Martine combined the two papers into the single position paper for the panel, and during the panel itself, run as a fishbowl, participants routinely shifted from the pro-worse-is-better side of the table to the anti-side. I sat in the audience, having lost my voice giving my Mob Software talk that morning, during which I said, "risk-taking and a willingness to open one’s eyes to new possibilities and a rejection of worse-is-better make an environment where excellence is possible. Xenia invites the duende, which is battled daily because there is the possibility of failure in an aesthetic rather than merely a technical sense."

Decide for yourselves."
