Well what did you expect to happen?

Most Russians support Putin and especially his foreign policy and when Russia got sanctioned because of that policy many were personally offended.

So they made t-shirts that referr to these sanctions, that are in their view offending them.

It is an absolutely normal response for any society that is collectively sanctioned/attacked.
The capability to get conversation history over several servers. In Matrix the conversation history is stored by all servers involved in the discussion, and thus it can be retrieved if your own server temporarily goes down. It will also be accessible from all your Matrix-compliant clients, whether they are web or mobile clients.

16 bit architectures are weird enough that a lot of tools don't support them. And 8 bit architectures are basically only used for things like Arduino nowadays.

However, using a 32 bit number to store values that will never be larger than 16 bits isn't that bad, it's just very slow.

What's wrong with XMPP/Jabber?

We have a weekly post on new IM platforms, but all of seem to have features which are a subset of XMPP's. Including Skype.

I got the impression (when I read his book a few months ago) that they weren't too keen on dealing with small scale stuff, but just looking there now it seems they have another brand or a partner called Ingram Spark for dealing with independents. Might be useful for someone here, maybe.

Yes, both Pidgin and Empathy support voice and video calling via XMPP. I suspect you'd need to use a "standard" XMPP server though - it wouldn't work over gtalk or facebook chat for instance.

Unfortunately, even if they DID specifically list out all the security measures that they used, someone would still complain because it isn't completely open source. The previous company I worked for not only had legitimate encryption for anything private we received from the user (e.g.: email passwords) so that nobody at the company could ever read them, but also had some (if I remember correctly) good documentation on the site listing out exactly what we were doing. The founder of the company even commented with the specific technical details when our product was linked to on HN, and people still weren't happy.

While I sympathize with what you're saying, nothing is going to make people who actually care happy with whatever security a company puts in place. Unless that company releases their source code for everyone to see. Which I would hope most people would be reasonable enough to realize why that's usually impractical. (see the previous HN post about the guy who shut down his business and was debating open sourcing his entire codebase, and all the problems he would have had to tackle to do so)

From a quick search, Higher Order Perl actually costs more on kindle than on paperback. But you are right, I am sure we could tweak those numbers either way.
Here's why you might perceive a record to sound better than a cd:

1. Vinyl introduces harmonic distortion into the audio signal. From a scientific standpoint, this means vinyl has worse fidelity than digital audio. But some people like the distortion, as it makes music sound "warmer."

2. In the mid 90s, audio engineers began mastering music louder. In order to maximize the perceived loudness, they use an effect called dynamic compression, which reduces the dynamic range of the recording (the difference between louds and softs). This trend was not present during the heyday of vinyl. As a result, many CD versions of old records sound worse than the original vinyl. But this has nothing to do with audio formats--just poor mastering.
I found this to be rather big-headed and naive.

On one hand you're saying if someone finds you a job you'll give them £1,500, but on the other you're saying if a company comes across you via your wordpress blog then they OWE you £1500.

Nothing, except it is a protocol, not an app. Go build an app based on it that's functionally equivalent to Skype and then we can talk.
Attributing the book's longevity to "availablity of new copies" is tautologous.
Well the hardest part is to persuade most users that end to end encryption is something they actually want.

If GMail would launch an integration with PGP (or similar), call it "Secure GMail - now extra private" or something and start to refer to unencrypted Mail as "unsafe", "untrusted" or something like this much would have been won.

That's why you don't put the free e-book on amazon but on your website.

People who see your book on amazon or other book sale websites yet go trough the effort of searching for it somewhere else are probably more likely to be stripped for funds but still want to read it.

On the other hand a lot of people on the kindle store download books just because they are free and never get the time to read it.

I certainly won't argue that 16-bit is just as good as 24-bit from an objective standpoint, as 24-bit is obviously superior, full stop. I'm just saying that for most listeners (everyone except those who listen at high levels in dedicated, treated listening rooms in very quiet environments) the difference will be inaudible almost all the time. Extremely low level detail doesn't really matter if it's lost in the >20 dB of natural noise in your room.

At that point the issue may become moot as other problems like standing waves, harmonic distortion, inaccurate speaker frequency response and so on creep in and affect music playback to a subjectively larger degree than '16-bit versus 24-bit does', IMO.

All that said, 24-bit is definitely the way to go since we might as well do it right even if only x percent of listeners will notice.

As an aside, thank you for being one of the conscientious 'good guys' in the studio. I collect music and wish I had a nickel for every sloppy recording I've heard.

I assume the extent of their product design involved shipping a couple of the kits from the USA to the Chinese supplier and saying "make one of these."

Upfront an engineer might specify that they'd like to spend 60% of their time on Data Science and 20% in Architecture but this doesn't mean that they are skilled appropriately for this.

What about companies that want to hire people to fill roles that require very specific experiences and education?

Is this app assuming that we when asked to describe what we want to do, we won't describe anything too far from what we already do?

Is the market on Engineers sides so much that they can describe what they want to do, not what they have done before and then get to do it at a cushy startup?
Great, might look into getting one of these myself.

This song has been played many times by a relatively small section of the Dutch population :)
Help Raise $100K for St. Baldrick’s – See Boston Tech Leaders Get Heads Shaved
As I see it, this is not so much a book at this stage as an introductory tutorial written by someone as they were learning Agda (about four years ago I think), as a contribution to the community to help other beginners. As such, one of the (unstated) assumptions is that the reader is already motivated to learn about programming with dependent types.

The early examples you see with inductive structures such as Nat are about learning the foundations, and you can't go on to do anything especially interesting without a solid understanding of the foundations. Its structure often also turns out to have a convenient correspondence with more realistic data structures, such as lists (their length) and trees (their depth).

I do sometimes wonder if we should start using something more obviously useful as an introductory example though. There's plenty of possibilities, and programmers aren't generally going to be using Nats in practice (I rarely do).

I don't use Agda myself (I use Idris, which is similar but is more directly aimed at general purpose programming) but I do know that it has primitive types...

Anyway, there's all kinds of interesting work going on at the minute which goes way beyond these introductory examples. For example, we're working on a way of specifying and verifying implementations of communication protocols (https://github.com/edwinb/Protocols), which we'd like to apply to cryptographic protocols when we've made some more progress. You can hear me waffling on about that, as well as about how we deal with stateful systems in general, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXXn4UunOkE&feature=youtu.be

I post this mainly because I suspect I'm one of the wonks who was researching dependently typed programming at your university ten years ago. At the time, there was lots of foundational work to do, and there is still lots to do before it's industrial strength, but we've made a lot of progress, and I think the goal is worth striving for.

There is another option - matrix.org is a new open standard for real-time communication (with encryption) in an open, federated ecosystem.

That means you can run your own server and encrypt your own data, and the encrypted data can still be sent to other servers in the federation.

To your point about open source, if something like this can take off it needs to be fully open and transparent, without fees or central data ownership - which is why matrix.org is a non-profit organisation and the standard open source.

I doubt it. The problems with apps in Sailfish is that their appstore doesn't seem to support any payment for apps, so all the apps need to be free. I think this is maybe not giving incentive for people to actively develop on that platform unfortunately.

How can local news be disrupted?
I feel like local news (TV, Print and Digital) could be transformed.

- A YouTube channel that creates interesting content to compete with local TV news. Local news features have become cliche and uninteresting.

- Content/Advertisement should be integrated to bring more exposure to local businesses. Similar to Buzzfeed's sponsored content.

- Make local news fun again. Every town/city website is filled with spam on the latest deals/reviews that nobody is reading. How do we do this?

That's just three ideas. Do you think local media can be challenged? What would you like to see on a website for your town/city that is unique?

Funnily enough I've been working on this a lot lately for a book I've been writing[1].

It seems there are several audiences for a CV (recruiter, hiring manager, supporting interviewer) and a fundamental error that people make is writing a CV for more or less than these three types of people.

The fundamental truth is that no-one wants to read a CV. They're at best an advert, but people tend to overstuff them or fill them with things irrelevant to the position they're applying for, so they get ditched by people who have tons of them to read through.
