Good idea.

The metric seems like it could show false positives for pages, that have "bad" values, so you could investigate if it's okay or not.

But when it shows a "good" value, it has probably a size that matches the content and nothing is critical.

Good point. I got to thinking about a remote screen attachment, sort of the touchscreen version of a headset, then realized you just do that now by using an external battery pack and a smartphone with a decently long cable between them.
IE doesn't support Web Audio either. The project I linked above does contain a Flash shim for IE, which you may find helpful.

Any proper realtime audio stack (which ogv.js is not: it targets moderate latency streaming) is going to require a jitter buffer to deal with network/processing latency variation. Writing one is a non-trivial exercise (though not impossibly so).

In any case, I'd recommend using Opus (the audio codec used by WebRTC) over Speex.
Weak protocols or not, what bothers me most about Telegram is that it doesn't use end to end encryption by default - yet still has the nerve to say it's the most secure app on the planet. I find that incredibly misleading towards the users, and many have fallen for that false advertising, which only makes me more furious about it.

So I doubt it has anything to do with geography. But more with Telegram's own arrogance about their own app, which not only doesn't have 1) a proper crypto team not "mathematicians", 2) crypto designs recognized by most cryptographers as being solid, but also 3) doesn't encrypt end to end the messages for 99 percent of its users.

TextSecure, Threema and Pond encrypt everything end to end by default and use solid designs to do so as well.

> Well, even planes use CB today instead of fuses (and remote CBs on top of that, meaning they can be turned on/off electronically)

If you have something drawing too much current in a plane, and so it is a fire risk, it still might be overall safer to continue to use it. For instance, if it is something involved in lowering the landing gear you might decide it is safer to risk a small fire in order to get the gear down than to do a gear up landing. Something resettable, like a circuit breaker, therefore makes a lot of sense in a plane.

With a car you are almost never in that kind of situation.
But no one was tapping on the screen and looking at it to interact with it …

I would personally argue that I’m unsure about the connection between weight and comfortableness and the tolerances. Would 200g be ok? I really don’t know.

However … making phone calls is not the main use case for smartphones. You just cannot design them with that in mind as something to optimise for. That’s non-sensical, weird, and a total non-sequitur. Your comparison makes zero sense in that regard. It just doesn’t even apply, so it’s not a valid argument in any way, shape or form.

I can imagine AV engines having massive attack surfaces due to having to support a ton of exploitable file formats and decompression methods, and often supporting decade+ old detections. It still is a surprising that some vendors (I'm looking at you Bitdefender!) have obviously not even tried to fuzz their product. Koret's presentation is already a year old, so I hope vendors would've now gotten at least some of their shit together. I wouldn't bet too much money on it though, as it still has virtually no effect on how much the product will be sold. Take a guess many people will still give money to Bitdefender because they have had a really good review performances.

There's definitely a pattern that AV companies put their efforts in being able to say they're #1 in outside tests or in reviews. In ye olden times someone would just take multiple vendors, scan against 1000000 old viruses and rank them based on the detection %, and as the end result the "best" (and the most sold) products ended up being resource hogs. Later reviewers took notice and started also measuring file copying performance and detection capabilities against active malware, and in a year or two many vendors adapted and improved their performance and their efforts against malware that actually is being spread.

Hopefully reviewers will take notice and include some exploitability metrics in the future so that vendors need to focus on it or go out of business.

Funny thing is that despite Bitdefender having thousands of exploitable points in their product, at the moment your average user will still be less vulnerable against online criminals than most those who don't run anything.
Those aren't really "US Army" gun sights, as in the stock iron sights on the M16 and M4 rifles produced to government specifications by Colt, or now FNH since Colt has lost all their contracts.

They and other designs, like my favorite the holographic EOTech, are sights designed and manufactured by independent companies that the US Army and Marines found to be useful in combat, one of the truly big advantages of our still having a serious civilian gun culture. And of course Trijicon fixed this after it was requested.

Note also that these are even better Easter eggs, in that one of Trijicon's claims to fame is using tritium to provide sight illumination in the dark, hence using references (not actual quotes) to Bible verses referencing "Jesus being the light of the world" per the article.

You can also hardly complain about the original Magsafe since that one is actually different from other power cables for a reason. These complaints are just so fucking weird and disconnected from all reality to me. Like you don‘t really understand the world or something.
Lessons Learned Building an Open Source Product from $0 to 350K USD
You make a valid point. My post does not talk about the product design, which seems to be mostly what your comment here is reflecting on. Some quick responses off-the-top-of-my-head:

* >70% of all time entries saved in HoursTracker are made via the timer. Having the timer is probably very important.

* QuickBooks integration would no doubt be a useful feature, but in 6 six years I've had maybe 10 emails asking for it. It's been on "the list" for almost the entire time, continually bumped.

* Once I started seeing some organic downloads/revenue, I found myself forced to address marketing.

My story is more about how I've had to adapt to the App Store changes over the years, primarily the rush to Freemium. That focus is mostly a response to the plentiful stories out there about how free apps are ruining it for everyone.

I could write about adapting to app store search changes, iOS 6 card results, ranking changes, etc. In fact, some longer drafts went into some of those things. But, I ended up trimming it to the most still-relevant things, for brevity and out of respect for the reader's time.

> making phone calls is not the main use case for smartphones

Try marketing a smart phone that can't make phone calls and see how it goes.

> You just cannot design them with that in mind as something to optimise for.

Every smartphone has been primarly a phone, secondary a camera and thirdly something that runs apps.

It's essentially a computer with a telephony interface but that telephony bit is absolutely essential and not an afterthought.
I think that since these programs are all about security, they do have some obligation to distribute securely their binaries, more than a torchlight app. For example I'd be more at ease if the binary distributed by Telegram had the same signature present in a document signed by whoever did the audit (maybe it's even like that, I don't know).

Of course I still have to trust my OS, but if the OS is compromised I have utterly lost.
You may also want/need to turn some things off, not necessarily because of a short-circuit.
So it seems like someone, somewhere, knows how to get non-trivial Haskell code to compile on Windows ; )

That seems very rude and uncalled for.

> I said “or be deemed safe for sale over the counter”.

You also said "Any medication [that] I use ...". So, are you saying that these rules are just for yourself or that everybody should follow the same logic that you do because you think it's the only logic and that anyone else who follows any different logic is "insane" as you said earlier?

In any case ~ I'm guessing you've never tried Marijuana, but what I'm really wondering is if you think all Marijuana users are insane? If the answer is no, then you're obviously contradicting your own argument. Otherwise, I'll have to conclude that you're just being a ridiculously overbearing ultra-conservative dickhead who speaks in one word sentences like "Strawman".

> ...you should find some other suitable scientific institution to trust.

Why? Because you said so? You didn't give a reason why you think that revealed knowledge is somehow better than rational knowledge....

If I know large groups of people who take a certain drug whether it be Modafinil or Marijunana and everybody reports positive effects...I feel quite confident enough to self-experiment. How am I insane?

> To instead trust random people’s anecdotes on the internet is quite possibly the worst thing you could do.

Do you have any proof that that's what's happening though?

In my experience people don't read one article and make a decision. They typically use this thing called a Search Engine to find out more information about the topic and end up reading dozens of articles, studies, user testimonials, etc.
A better analogy would be organic vs. non-organic food, where the non-organic food can get you much more consistent and cheaper results, but leads to a lot of negative externalities whose effects compound over time.

One is focused on short-term quarterly profit, the other on long-term social goods.
Running iBooks without Internet brings your CPU usage to 100%
Friendly note for those that use iBooks. Ibooks spawns a storeaccountd process that relentlessly fires off so many internet connection attempts that it actually maxes your computer's CPU, get's your fans all worked up, and rapidly drains the battery. This only happens if it can't connect so places like on the airplane or behind a firewall. As long as iBooks is open the process is un-killable. So essentially I can't use iBooks on the go.

Typically I'd expect memory intensive webGL processes to crash the browser (only), but here this threejs demo took down the whole operating system with it. Tried it on both iPhone and iPad Air with updated iOS 8.1.2.
If you aren't auditing the binary which is actually running, the open-source distinction is academic for most people.
Obviously it wouldn't be easy to test on Linux, but it would be really interesting to see the results of fuzzing against Windows Defender. Seeing as it's the de facto AV packaged with Windows 8, and a lot of people use MSE on prior versions, imagine the attack surface area.

Then again, if Microsoft is competent in how they built their AV engine, it might be properly fuzzed already. With such a wide deployment, you'd certainly want to think so...

Fair points. We can see similar examples in other languages, e.g. C++ strings are "like C++" and a pain to use, while Java strings are "not like Java" and a pleasure to use. Maybe language design really isn't about general-purpose elegance, but about finding good special-purpose solutions.

Free solo climbing -- climbing without the use of ropes for protection -- is a no-margin-for-error hobby. That's not the style of ascent being done by Caldwell and Jorgeson here though (it would essentially be suicide!).

Free climbing (climbing without the aid of a rope but using it for protection in the event of a fall) is a quite forgiving hobby! I've fallen hundreds of times while free climbing and lived to tell the tale :).

The distinction between free solo climbing and free climbing is frequently a point of confusion -- especially in news articles!

I admit that it worked because they had a legitimate political arm as well as blowing things up. The legitimate political arm gave the UK government someone to negotiate with without having to outright obviously negotiate with terrorists. They did negotiate with terrorists, some of whom went on to hold elected office, but were only able to do so because there was a legitimate political arm.
I wasn't advocating a gradual improvement of the old system.

I meant identifying N particular tasks that need replacing, for example user accounts, content management, front-end, etc. Then for each one, isolating that part of the old system, eg. using a proxying layer. A replacement can then be built alongside, with the proxy sending all requests to both. Results can be compared, and differences treated as test failures. When the replacement is working, the proxy can be switched to serve the new system's responses, and once everything's settled down, the old system can be turned off.

Once all of the new system is in place and replicating the behaviour of the old system, the rewrite is finished. New features and improvements can be worked on as normal, as a separate phase.

What's more, we only need to feature-freeze the component that's being migrated, rather than the whole thing (as long as coding standards for new features enforce our newly-imposed compoentn isolation).

You call it an appeal to science, but science isn't about definitions. It's about predictions and matching them to evidence.

Unfortunately, we never get that far in this discussion because you want to argue about what words to use (and now throw ad hominems at me) rather than the real world.

And trust me, the evidence...

Not citing evidence and merely disputing definitions does not inspire trust.

I kinda wish they'd put more thought and energy into some tidy way of doing error checking, pre-conditions etc. locating and avoiding bugs is still one of the main concerns in any project and not enough are done to help with that.

It’s not the phone part you have to design around, it’s obviously all the other stuff, especially – really, really, especially – if your argument basically boils down to “Oh, but it’s fine for making phone calls!” I mean, yeah, you can easily argue making the situation better for phone calls in your design since they still play some role, but the argument you made just doesn’t fly at all. It makes no sense.
Cratejoy (YC S13) – CratejoyIsHiring.js
The author's main reason for moving from Apple to Xiaomi seems to be money savings. He sold his iPhone and bought a Xiaomi device for less money.

He wonders why Apple's hardware costs more.

To me this is sort of obvious, but apparently it needs to be explained to people like this author: innovation is done by creative people, and those people get paid. When your creative process is 90% theft, yes there is a savings that can be passed on to the unscrupulous buyer.

Xiaomi's behavior is not fair to the innovators. So, sure, life is not fair, I get that. But each of us can decide what kind of company we want to support.

Facepalm.

Numerical Tower is Scheme's invention. It is one of Scheme's distinct features and a major innovation of that time.

R5RS, which is considered the classic Scheme (some would even say R4RS) has only Strings and Vectors as an ADTs with such convention of naming procedures. It amounts for just one page of the standard. And, of course, not these two types is the essence of Scheme.

Also Scheme precedes CL, which incorporates Numerical Tower from Scheme.
