As far as FDE goes, yes. But TrueCrypt was rather unique in that it provided (then) trusted cross-platform encrypted containers, not necessarily encrypted disks.

I spent several hours last night trying to find a trustworthy, free tool to encrypt some files that would make them accessible across all my OSes (I use Windows, Linux, _and_ OS X). After looking at Ciphershed and Veracrypt, I didn't find confidence in them, so the closest thing I could come up with was one-off style encryption -- eg. GPG. And I just don't see a good workflow wherein every time I want to access a 3 Mb file I have to unencrypt, untarball, access, retarball, reencrypt 100 GB of files. Or write a script that's going to sort through a couple hundred files to ensure they're all encrypted without tarballing.

So yeah, now I jump through hoops using one OS's encryption mechanism, and then kinda-sorta sharing the porn to the other OSes in a way that I hope is semi-secure and I try to make sure I clean up after myself.

Edit: In the time I wrote this, I see a huge discussion has blown up around TrueCrypt's containers/block encryption. If anyone has a tool that can encrypt a collection of files and make them transparently accessible to other apps in a cross-platform way, I'm all ears.

We are the spoiled children of 21st century programming. There's so much potential, so many great tools and languages and it's all within our reach. I sometimes feel like the ungrateful child stood in the sweetshop, who is cross because choosing one bag of sweets would mean missing out on another.

The internet has made it trivial to share knowledge and experience and we can all use cutting edge, industry standard tools for free. There aren't many fields that you can say that about.

The world that we have grown up in, is tantalizingly shiny and there were never rules to follow. We are a product of the lack of limitations that surround us.
OP here. I don't understand why some HN users post the exact same link as the OP in the thread.
I figured if someone were besmirching my good work, I'd want to know about it, is all. I don't think one should be able to call someone wrong without giving them a chance to disagree.

Furthermore, this is devolving into a schoolyard, "I know but I'm not telling" situation. To put it another way, I don't think there is any significant error in the Gattol's page, nor is there any significant error on the wikipedia page on full-disk encryption.

I'm very glad to be shown to be incorrect on this point, but I doubt I would be, at least by you.

I'm interested in this area, both professionally and as a genuine curiosity, but every time I run into you it's a negative experience. I'd like that to stop happening.

Very nice approach :)

Can you provide some insight into the algorithm behind it?
Excellent idea!

- I'm not sure about E1.50 price, I think $0.99 would be easier to swallow, psychologically. I understand you have the transaction cost weighing on you, so maybe sell packs of 5 signatures for $4.95? This also gives you ability to run promotions with discounted signature packs.

- Alternatively a monthly subscription could be interesting as well. Imagine if I'm writing a novel, I might want to keep signing different copies as I go along many times per day, but then rewrite them anyway as I'm not yet satisfied. It would be nice if you shipped a simple text editor that saves all local copies of the work as it's modified, together with persons's name and your timestamp / signature, as a proof of concept. You could be delaying or batching transactions to offset the bitcoin tx cost.

- I liked the easy drag and drop for a picture, but sadly I have to put my signature into the picture which takes away all of the drag-drop convenience. It would be more convenient if it worked by me drag-dropping the picture and then typing in free-form text into your web site, such as "Copyright (c) DenisM aka foo@bar.com", and then you hashing (picture + signature), detailing the procedure in the PDF.

- In a weird way contradicting the convenience aspect I just asked for, I would prefer to give you my hash of the document rather than document itself. I may be afraid of the content leaking before I am ready to release it myself. It's an easy fix for you - add a separate tab where instead of dropping the document I can paste in the hash myself.

Keep up the good work!
From my experience Little's law is typically used to quantify the number of users in the system, a measure of concurrency. For the purpose of our tools we leverage the calculation to provide insight on "offered load" or the time spent w/in the service for a given interval. We do have a challenge in that many of our downstream dependencies are called concurrently. At the current time this prevents us from easily decomposing the demand in a service cleanly among it's dependencies. Some of this has to do with our transaction tracing framework and the granularity at which we require call behavior to be easily time-ordered. We believe we can solve this overtime with an improved framework.
In the case of Mogul we leverage the demand calculation to understand who is the largest contributor, pointing us in the direction of possible optimization. If we are using the utility to triage an issue we typically find that an increase in the demand or offered load within the problematic dependency tends to easily correlate with the demand of the calling service. I think we are just at the beginning of leveraging this data in a more effective manner, and getting away from having eyeballs look at a dashboard is definitely a goal.

Native-Speed my a. Sorry but people should stop lying about it. Angular is great but it's damn slow no matter what people say about it. And Webapps UIs are never as fast as native UI on mobile. Once these 2 things have been debunked,we can talk honestly about the advantages of using things like Ionic or other solutions.

I personnally look forward to using React Native ,as a Titatinium user, there is no question using native components directly instead of html+CSS in webviews is better, faster and when the UI kit of my mobile is updated , I don't have to restyle all the components to match the current design. If I need a webview,well I have access to the webview anyway.But all the app SHOULDN'T live inside a webview.
For a long time I've been naming pictures with some combination of

- the date,
- the place where the picture was took and
- what were everybody doing

Something like: "me, bob and anna running to get a bus on the christmas eve 2005.jpg"

What is the incentives to write a long well thought out and interesting negative review on amazon? I would guess that while criticism tend to end up as blog posts, positive reviews end up on amazon because people want to share a positive experience with others.
That's very rarely the case, I think it's more to do with the fact that I'm still learning.

I've become more and more comfortable with FP over the last year and I enjoy being able to utilise the new things I pick up, but I don't think I've ever worked on a project purely to try something new.

I tend to experiment at work too and our products always ship.
Brian is right here. Plaid builds API infrastructure on top of existing FI's, whereas Seed is building a new bank. Maybe one day we can incorporate Seed as a data source into Plaid directly.
If you are giving a one star review then you are likely in a situation where the item has wasted your time, and frustrated/annoyed/disappointed you. That is not conducive to good writing. It would be better to check the reading level of reviews given by the same person against other products, as well as the scores to get a clearer view of them.
Me too, as it happens. I played about half an hour of Bioshock Infinite and that was the last one I even attempted.

For all intents and purposes "indexing" and "crawling" is "appearing in search results", and they conflate these terms themselves in their robots.txt page:

> "You only need a robots.txt file if your site includes content that you don't want Google or other search engines to index."

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6062608?hl=en

They do say noindex overrides 3rd party links so that's something, but it's a moot point either way because this was the approach for the last decade. Having to contact each individual person in charge of each individual URL isn't even effective when the MPAA throws money+DMCA at the task, individuals asking nicely never had a chance.
If I have 10,000 subscribers and I send a daily email so 300,000 emails a month do I pay $30 or $59 using OwlSend?

If I send a morning and an evening email (600,000 per month) do I pay $30 or $89 per month?

I'm confused because in your comparison chart you say $30 to send 10,000 emails. Your pricing says $29 / month. Your FAQ talks about "How much does it cost?
Owlsend application charges a flat fee of $29 upto 10,000 subscribers, $49 for upto 50,000 subscribers and $79 for upto 100,000 subscribers. You can send unlimited bulk emails with Owlsend every month. Amazon SES costs $1 per 10,000 emails sent."

So is it $29 + $1 for that first 10000 emails? If not, why are you talking about SES and how much SES costs? SES [costs] should be a non factor and not even mentioned.

EDIT: In the Pricing section it says "Send Unlimited Emails to 10,000 Subscribers" again, am I still paying $1 per 10,000 emails above the $29 / month just to use your interface?
Good idea, but they're assuming their product is good. What if other products are bad?

The 'intelligent' reviewers may write one star reviews on other books that are legitimately bad books.

If anything, you could use this API to calculate a "True" amazon book review, in which you could identify the reading level of the reviewers and weight their # star review accordingly. I might give a crack at this later because I spend so much time trying to decipher Amazon's reviews regardless.

At least for Chakra, this would make a lot of sense - I can't think of a downside for them. For Trident there is the theoretical downside that IE becomes fully independent of Windows. This currently doesn't matter, but might decrease lock-in in the future.
I'm doing lots of math searching lately. I'm not sure there's any formula that would really help. There aren't that many really formulas going into whatever advanced math theory.

Plus setting up a single formula to search for looks like the usual ordeal whereas typing some key words is really easy. It would be nice to some detailed logical and/or sorting, though Google scholar overall does a decent job.

Two issues. (1) Nature editors desk reject most papers without review, so editors should be blinded to author identity as well for this to sort of work. (2) By still allowing single-blind review, it gives the reviewers the notion that the authors want to be anonymous because they are not famous scientists, because a renown scientist with lots of Science/Nature papers would probably choose single-blind.

>> If you establish a paper trail and then try to pretend you're getting rid of them because there's no money you're going to get sued.

Wait what? I know you can get sued for all sorts of things, but what is the reasoning here? Is it that the given reason is money, but there is evidence that the reason is something else? So what? Would they claim you lied because you don't really have a strong case for the real reason? I'm just confused by this.
Ownership of content could be supported in the sense that you publicly annouce its creation first (blockchain is public) with no other previous record of it anywhere. Of course if the content is not original work then it should be traceable in the past thus it would be completely pointless to stamp it on the blockchain.
I think that is for all internal software and support not just the consumer web part. Still seem high but they are a big company.

This was more a rant against the idea of a "social network" than a critique of your work. I'm sorry, I don't know what to say about your library. I imagine it could be useful for people that like this specific idea of social network (which seems to be almost everyone), but I don't see where exactly.

I hoped also that the fact that there was a comment attracted more people to the discussion about your library (and also my rant), because it seems a nice piece of software.
Lived in MN for 18 years now in Southern California. If and when you can afford to leave MN, you do it. I pay the same amount that I would for an entire house per month in MPLS for a single in Santa Barbara and that would put people off. But to me, I get to scrap that whole 5-9 months worth of Siberian weather and inevitable seasonal depression and have an inspiring environment.

People who have never lived in MN and read these articles with even the slightest interest in moving to the state are simply out of their minds. My opinion of course.

80% of my peers are MPLS millennials working for Target Corp., Best Buy, and slew of start-ups and marketing firms and there isn't one person I know that would even blink at the price difference if they had the opportunity to move to a coastal region. If you have the chance to leave MN you do.

Tax me out the ass, increase my rent, and inflate my prices, I do not care, as long as I get to see blue skies for more than 2 months a year (If you're lucky).

I am simply an MN ex-pat hater but I find that the coastal cities are bustling and expensive because the $$ is worth your sanity.
Author of the course here: to users, the performance difference is not noticeable. If you look under the hood, sure, there are absolutely inefficiencies that happen. But a vast majority of the time it has no effect on the user experience, and that has been the dealbreaker with hybrid apps in the past. Browser rendering is now fast enough, and the frontend technologies robust enough, that developing and deploying hybrid apps can often be a much better experience than developing in native.

That said, React native looks awesome and I'm looking forward to using it - but it != death of Ionic/hybrid apps imho.
Retlang was a pioneer in this space for .NET, sadly it never took off more than some initial hype.
But compared to Akka.NET, Akka on the JVM is battle proven for many years now, running backends for Wallmart, LinkedIn etc. So it is good ground to stand on.
Also, Akka.NET compared to Retlang, if I recall correctly, Retlang did about 300 k messages per sec locally, while Akka.NET does 34+ million messages per sec on the same laptop.

We've seen a lot of video games that integrate both of your solutions. They have a storyline you play through (railroad) but they adjust the difficulty and/or gameplay based on how the user plays.

I'm not a big fan of this because they tend to be too forgiving or not challenging enough. Older games were hard which made beating them rewarding. Games tend to be much easier now. Even if they adjust their difficulty it usually errs on the side of avoiding frustration for more casual gamer enjoyment.
It strikes me as terribly inefficient to house the software on dealerships' servers - not to mention a change management nightmare given the different competency levels amongst dealer IT personnel.

I'm also curious about the size and scale of all of this. 8,000 developers/engineers isn't that many when you measure that cost against a $3B/year HP deal. But, it seems like it's way more than it needs to be. And, the costs associated with this bloat is going to be absorbed by consumers.

Our architecture and the sheer number of microservices contributes to much of the scale. In order to achieve the engineering velocity and reliability goals we felt the explosion of instances with this architecture was worth it. If you consider the number of microservice instances serving user traffic (and include persistency tiers such as memcache and cassandra) you would still be in the tens of thousands.
A way to test this hypothesis would be to look at the range of star reviews that the reviewer has given, and see if "higher education" reviewers do in fact give more positive, optimistic reviews on a whole.

I think these images help them figure out what's interesting to study as the probe gets closer. It's going to zoom by, so they need to know beforehand what to look at.
Given the distances involved, anything that may have had its orbit altered by this event is extremely unlikely to have struck any solid surface in our system already. It may, however, lead to some additional bombardment a few million years from now.

By that time, we might have computers of sufficient power working from an astronomical catalog of sufficient completeness to reverse-propagate the catalog far enough to actually blame the passing stars for kicking out comets in our direction.

It would be nice to support payment with bitcoin. Also in addition to emailing a receipt, let users download a receipt right there.

Also I'm not sure what exactly a webapp is needed for. I wouldn't use it for anything important. How do I know without looking through your client side JS that you're not sending a copy somewhere? It would be nice to write an open source app, stamp that app's hash in the block chain, and then use that stamped app to stamp other documents, all locally. Or keep the web version too as an alternative. If you want to make money off of that, provide some enterprisey tools for people to verify previously stamped documents or other value-add services not related to the core offering. I think you're losing 99% of early adopters with a fee (is that essential to pay miners or something?).

edit: It seems like I'd need a way to verify my identity as part of this hash for it to be of value. Can your certificates be forged? A verifiable and un-forgeable certificate would be valuable. Or perhaps I associate a BTC wallet id with a small amount of money in it and that's part of the overall document hash too. So when I want to prove I hashed it, I send a tiny fraction of a bitcoin from that wallet (and it could be an unpredictable fraction, to serve as a one time PIN). Making all that easy to verify for someone like an underwriter or lawyer could be a nice way for you to make money.

I take it back, the VC++ options are C++ only (faulty memory, it's been too long.)

There is a warning I added which does work in C (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t7khkyth.aspx). As I recall, this warning is sometimes useless (unless it's been improved upon), so it's best to turn it on only when you're investigating packing.

You make a good point about C code not compiling as C++ as much as it used to, but that's probably less true for VC code.

And I should point out - often, for the purposes of tuning, you can extract just what you need from some code, get that small chunk of code compiling as C++, and leverage your compiler's dumps.
