> I became "cat relo guy", for one place, because I mentioned that it'd cost $7k to move my cats... that negotiation, predictably, fell through

How many cats do you have and why did it cost so much?
I know. I apologize for letting my glibness overwhelm my ability to write clearly.

It depends on the contract. My first contract allowed me to give my notice to my permanent job (pretty sure it was 4 weeks IIRC). I'm pretty sure some of my other contracts didn't start immediately -- it depends on the job. Also, if you have somewhat specialized skills they might be prepared to wait for you.

It's definitely a high risk strategy to quit your job before you've found a contract.
Thank you! That's the best advice I've heard on ordering. If I can get my feet unstuck from their current rabbit-holes, I'll dive into this one.

Did not start a company while starting a family but I did restart my business.

When I got my (now 7 year old) daughter, I realised that what I was doing was not right for me, I sold the company for "nothing" and rebuild a consultancy, I had the good luck of earning enough to get by from day one from some old clients.
Had been looking at some fancier ones with wood or aluminum accents on Amazon, but cheap is good. I almost picked up a cheesy case at Micro Center today, but now I think I'll go with this cheesy one instead. Priced right at less than $10, and the removable lid is a nice touch.

I'm kind of in the middle of developing a tool for this kind of problem right now. I don't expect to get funded, and I don't know if I would accept any VC money if it were offered. I like the thought of possibly cornering a niche market and seeing how it grows over the next few years.

Your opinion is the status quo. Hopefully, someone less narrow minded will come along.
Yeah but requiring a notice-and-takedown approach is quite reasonable. This is the equivalent of all EU countries being legally allowed to ban free speech on the Internet at a national level, if desired.

Yeah, its not "changing anything" but its tantamount to admitting that Estonia is not a functioning democracy that respects fundamental human rights like free speech....and that it is OKAY for the EU.

>You just no longer have to worry about the website who you've sued successfully in your local courts taking its offense at having being found liable to the ECHR. So it has precisely zero effect on Britain beyond not blocking certain types of liability that the British government might create through its own laws.

As explained near the end of the article:

>As a consequence, active intermediaries and blog operators will have considerable incentives to discontinue offering a comments feature, and the fear of liability may lead to additional self-censorship by operators. This is an invitation to self-censorship at its worst.

The statues under the United Kingdom Hate Speech laws means people can sue in courts for comments containing hate speech and the ECHR now has a precedent to rule in their favor and hold the intermediate party liable for said comments. The result? Nobody wants to be held liable, so they shut down their comment sections.

That's bad for free speech and is a side-entry form of censorship. Not direct from the state, but implied and enforced by the state on private entities.

I really do not like this mentality among CS people. So what if fb has a similar product ? Do we expect to see monopolies all over software ?

Linux was created in a world with millions of OSes.

Even today there is no shortage of demand for creating freaking OSes.

In the grand scheme of things we are only getting started when it comes to software as an industry.

Its like after the first guy who created wheels using stones. If we stopped re-inventing the wheel, we would be stuck with wheels made out of stones.

The first program that I wrote ever was a simple bubble sort. It was really shitty code but It lead me to do a lot of original programmer later on.

This young man makes something original and its great ! FB needs as much competition as they can get, so does reddit, hacker news and silicon valley.

Don't let the MBAs tell you the world is an zero-sum game.

Excellent article! Thanks for sharing! I am glad to learn something new today! ;-)
I'm guessing the sun is easily ruled out based on the direction the neutrino was travelling (as measured by the momentum of the particle produced when the neutrino interacts with something).

"Random galactic neutrinos" are probably a statistical exclusion: Although there could be a tau neutrino coming from the same direction as the experimental neutrino source, there aren't enough of them to create any significant chance of the observation being anything other than an experimental neutrino.
When you went looking for it, did you try Googling for [1password file format]?
Am I the only one who could listen to him narrate just about anything for hours at length?
And how do you save and sync the passwords across various machines?

Edit: The reason I asked is because I wanted to see if 1Password can be more secure than LastPass. However, if you're using 1Password with Dropbox, I'd say this combination doesn't feel any more secure than LastPass. Other more secure options like WiFi sync aren't convenient enough. So, it appears there's no strong reason for me to consider switching from LastPass.
I'm not them, but flying with animals is incredibly expensive, even after you cover the vet reqs for the country. Cats are much harder than dogs to get through customs, because cats can carry more communicable diseases.
> the systemd folks assumed that they were the center of the universe and decided "well fuck the kernel, we're going to use the 'debug' flag for ourselves, everything else be damned"

Note that even Linus said that "parsing [the 'debug' and 'quiet' flag] and doing something sane with them is not a bug, it's a feature". So the issue revolved on what people believe is "sane", not about userspace using kernel bootparams (systemd still does and Linus is ok with it). The systemd folks argued that the kernel should not affected if something broke and started throwing too many messages at it during early boot (indeed, the kernel was fixed to rate limit in those cases). The kernel people instead said that it's not ok for userspace to flood the kernel, not even in broken setups (indeed, systemd was fixed to stop sending messages to dmesg as soon as journald is up).

I believe that sending emails here and there to ask "it's ok to do that?" would not work. LKML is already high traffic as is, such messages would just get ignored until things break.
Why I Still have faith in LastPass
Too bad it is hosted on SourceForge.
Been watching his videos for years now. He's great.
Not exactly my point, and I won't go there. I don't know enough about drugs to comment.

Smart, creative people are, by and large, allergic to authoritarianism. Draconian rules around possession of soft drugs like cannabis are useful proxies for measuring a state's authoritarianism.
Lots of creative people like to use drugs. By prohibiting it, you take them out of the talent pool. Look at how many movies, ads, and interface mockups have clocks set to 4:20.
As noted by other commenters, it's not threadsafe in that two different threads might initialize the class at the same time. However, I don't see that anyone bothered to ask "So what?"

If two threads initialize it at once, they'll each create an instance. One will live for the life of the AppDomain. The other will get used briefly, then thrown away. It's a little messy, but will it cause any actual problems?

It's not holding any important state that must not be lost, and it's not holding on to any resources that might be leaked. The worst case is just that you initialize two RNGs instead of one, so you might get slightly different random numbers than you would otherwise get. But they're supposed to be crypto-secure numbers, not "repeatable random" like you might want for a saved game seed, so that seems like it should be acceptable. Unless there's some deep crypto reason that such a thing would be bad?

The two things that might actually matter are that the GeneratedBytesCount might be wrong, and if someone registered an event handler for the GenerateRandom256Pre event it might get lost. Neither of those things are actually used anywhere in the code, but it is possible that client code could use them.

Bottom line I'd say it's not great, but in the code that they actually have it will not cause any problems.

Aside: technically the class is not marked as threadsafe, but since it's a singleton it should probably be threadsafe anyway.
So you've had a positive experience with Semantic-UI? I'm about to start a project and I'm considering Semantic-UI or Foundation. I like the defaults on Semantic a bit more but I think Semantic 2.0 is about to come out so Foundation might be the safer choice right now.
I use PyCharm every day and IntelliJ and I have never had this problem. Maybe it's a resource issue with your hardware though and your version of Java. I use the new versions that bundle OpenJDK on a newer Macbook Pro.
For just about $8, this is awesome. I wonder if they will open-source its design files for 3D printers.
What's the point of encrypting the traffic in transit if you just PRISM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_%28surveillance_program%...) logs of it on the back end straight to the NSA? I guess this at least keeps random MITM attacks at bay?
Family ties are mentioned at few times, including the case of the protagonist of the story. This article[0] expands on it:

> For most, the attraction of Britain lies in family ties, the English language and the UK's reputation as both generous to asylum-seekers and – at least until recently – economically successful. Around a third have already spent time in the UK and are making their second, third or even fourth clandestine crossing of the Channel.

And further from [1]:

> The migrants in Calais all have one thing in common: they come from countries that were colonised by Britain. There are almost no refugees in Calais from former French colonies. The British empire is not old history, it still shapes people’s lives today. Many people have friends and family already in the UK. Many speak English, which is often the main language taught in school. There is still the myth of Britain as the ‘mother of democracy’, a safe haven of human rights. People are keen to start a new life as quickly as possible, so coming to a country where you know the language makes much more sense.

Off topic, but I never knew that Dash existed. I frequently look up APIs through google, which always involves a few clicks, and Dash is going to make my life so much better! As I went down through the API list, I was amazed how many times I thought, 'adding that will save me some google searches'. I just bought a copy, thanks!
I also did not realize the google doc was live.

"It's weird that a person who can come off as a real grouch has managed to be such a supremely effective dictator."

It's weird that a writer at the level of Bloomberg would be so weirdly dogmatic about this. To the best of my knowledge there is nothing weird about capable people being attracted to a leader who is good at identifying actual problems and is grouchily intolerant of those actual problems attracting capable people. Nor anything weird about such a leader motivating the people who are attracted; nor anything weird about such a leader getting high performance out of the organization. Supposed examples are not exactly scarce in business, military, scientific, sports, and entertainment off the top of my head, and as far as I know they're mostly true, not misleading legends. In most cases I only know second-hand, and I could be mistaken or misled. But the most straightforward interpretation of the evidence seems to be that successful doesn't-suffer-fools-lightly leadership is a pretty common pattern in sharp results-oriented endeavours.

In contrast, it would make much more sense if a sentence like that in a profile ended with "...has managed to be such a supremely effective automobile salesman;" as far as I know retail sales is not full of examples of grouchy doesn't-suffer-fools-lightly successes. But managing sharply goal-oriented organizations? Who would think that's inconsistent with what's reported about Linus here?

Even the prima donna antipattern of being a loose cannon who is flakily grouchy can be somewhat consistent with success --- people will put up with irritating inefficient prima donna stuff if there are enough compensating advantages. But I don't think the article establishes that's what's going on, and as far as I know it's uncommon for knowledgeable people to think that's going on. Success always breeds some level of resentment, and some fraction of people will jump to unusual conclusions, and many thousands of knowledgeable people know of Linus, so I assume there are some knowledgeable people out there who believe that he's an unreasonable prima donna. But I can't think of any individual to nominate as particularly likely to believe this.
I think you're mostly right here, although as the downvotes indicate, this possibility is unsettling to many. When judgmental people are prevented by prevailing mores from fully exercising their judgmentalism, their efforts will be concentrated on the unfortunate few who remain acceptable targets. Many judgmental people don't like young women to be sexually active (this seems to have been the case for all of recorded history). One can't complain directly about that nowadays, however, so one must complain about whoever vile tempters can be blamed, however tenuously, for the sexual activity of young women.

A similar phenomenon exists with respect to abortion and infanticide. Once upon a time, we would have been fairly merciful toward young mothers troubled enough to kill their own children. Now, however, our harridan-in-chief Nancy Grace leads the popular crusade to crucify the poor mothers. The reason is that many people feel very uncomfortable about abortion, but have no other acceptable outlet for that discomfort.
There was a trick wrapping things in equals signs or something like that, but I can't recall...
On a side note, you should preserve some new lines in your minified js as it makes dealing with production JavaScript errors much easier, assuming you have some kind of onerror hook that sends you js errors. The new lines don't add much to the overall size of your js but they make debugging much easier.
Thanks for the feedback and encouragement, encoderer. All very helpful. We know there's a lot we can do to improve the landing page (well, every page).

To be a little more specific, the class itself is not marked as thread-safe. Only the AddEntropy() and GetRandomBytes() methods are so marked. So it would technically be permissible for any other part of the class to not be thread-safe.

But since it's a singleton, having a non-thread-safe initializer is cutting that distinction a little fine.

The zeal with which some people view free speech is really quite adorable. I don’t think it’s really so important. (It is important, sure, just not that important. And limiting free speech is certain a-ok with me, within limits.)
Fair enough. I do note that the very blog you linked mentions that there are two 1Password formats:

1. The "Agile Keychain Format" (versions 2 and 3, which lack integrity).
2. The "Cloud Keychain Format" (versions 4+, which have integrity).

You didn't specify which version you use & like.

I also note that the 1Password team had been selling security software which was not designed well - see (1) above. And it's not like HMAC wasn't invented when 1Pass got started.

Mr. Goldberg learns as he goes. There is nothing wrong with that. Or is there - when it comes to selling security software? Rhetorical question for all to ponder...

Depends... if the conversation is a short coming in any part of Linux that isn't the kernel, then Linux means the kernel. If it's something positive, then Linux is the kernel, boot code, userland, and anything else that can be fit under the umbrella.
I would guess not, That would constitute original research or perhaps a primary source.

It doesn't seem like they would stack very well, which might be an issue for some users. It looks pretty, though!
They do model backgrounds; the 5-sigma significance is a claim about the odds that background phenomena could have randomly caused this observation.

However, their main backgrounds are not from the sources you mention. OPERA knows exactly what time the beam was on, and only considers data during that time <insert joke about that one time they thought neutrinos were traveling faster than light>. If galactic/solar tau neutrinos were present, they would see them all the time (not just when the beam was on), but they don't. That's not to say that they aren't there, but at the energies measured by the OPERA experiment, they would be exceedingly rare, especially compared to the high intensity of the neutrino beam they are receiving from CERN.
Here's the problem: At what rate do microkernels like Minix 3 progress? Compared to Linux, they progress glacially.

And, when Minix 3 has as much functionality as Linux does, how many loc will it have? I grant you that you might have some efficiency from the (assumedly) better architecture, but how much? Would Minix 3 have 5M loc? Would it be really understandable at that point? (Perhaps more than Linux, because of more modularity. Still, you're essentially comparing a robust product to a nowhere-near-production-ready proof-of-concept. It's very much not apples-to-apples.)
Replacing PIN with Emoji
I don't have it running yet but I am planning to write something where you have a vm you can connect to with the same/similar command syntax and it would pop up a window of some sort saying 'I received a request for password xyz, yes/no' this way you can have your main system and/or other vms have access to the password store in a controlled manner.

If you have this vm running an FDE install then it would make it also super easy to backup all your passwords, just shutdown the vm and copy the vdi, would only be a few gigs (don't need too much software in this install, just the base system, gpg and whatever ncurses daemon to listen for password requests)
