The entertainment value asymptotically approaches zero for me when your updates are this sporadic, verbose, and vapid.

I'll assume you are done dancing, given the continued weakening of your performance. But if I am mistaken, and you do abandon your current trajectory for something new and interesting, perhaps I'll come watch again.

It's a shame, because I did so enjoy your early work. Seeing someone adopt such an arrogant position, only to flail about for this long in a spectacular display of nothing at all... well schadenfreude is the word I would choose for it.

[0] Price per developer (!) $3000, only supports Java 7.

I see one clear benefit right there.
Duktape is good for scripting. My particular app is a simple rule engine for smart home applications which runs on relatively low-powered ARM board. It would hardly be practical to have Go compiler there, and duktape is resource-efficient ECMAScript engine which serves this purpose just fine.
It certainly is. http://researcher.watson.ibm.com/researcher/files/us-bacon/B...

Here is a post by pcwalton on the same subject: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9095314.
I grew up in rural Alaska. My environment was full of dangerous things, and I learned how to use many of them at an early age. I learned to operate boats, snowmobiles and four wheelers when I was 5, and was allowed to operate them unsupervised as soon as I had the physical strength to operate all the essential controls unsupervised. My parents gave me a rifle for my fifth birthday.

The one thing my parents wouldn't let me use for the longest time was a chainsaw.

And then use giant machines to crush, pack, transport and store the waste. When you see them "run around and move dustbins", it's probably the easiest and safest part of their job. What you don't see is what happens at the landfill or incinerator plant, and this is a bigger part of the job than collecting waste from domestic customers.
I wouldn't bother "advertising" unless you're looking at freelancing, it might come across as desperate.

There are some places where recruiters will constantly look for candidates: LinkedIn, XING (not sure if it's worthwhile outside Germany), Github, maybe SO (not sure), possibly FB. Having a polished appearance there will yield plenty of contacts even without indication that you're currently looking for work (assuming hard skills that are in demand somewhere).
Nice, way to go Poland :).
I've been using this technique all my career (medicine) so far and it's been super effective. When I started programming I never though I could use it here too.

I don't know how to express how valuable this technique is. Just try it.
Why not 0 seconds, instead of 0 days? I didn't think you can buy time anywhere, but why the gratuitous use of the “days” unit when the quantity is zero anyway?

Still, a gov't agency would surely pay plenty, even for nothing at all, so what's the going rate for “no time at all” these days?

> without any evidence to support it this is like calling someone a murderer because he went to the same high school as a murderer.

That's a pretty flawed analogy. If you're going to examine it from a criminal act point of view, let's really look at it that way. If installing a rootkit is equivalent to premeditated murder, then the murderer must have motive, means, and opportunity. Let's take Sony as a good example of a company guilty of installing a rootkit. Motive: Prevent unauthorized copying of their music CDs. Means: Rootkit is embedded in the audio CD and uses Windows' Autoplay feature to install itself. Opportunity: They didn't disclose this rootkit so anyone who bought a Sony audio CD during that era was vulnerable.

Now, let's look at what we know about this Chromium binary blob silent install (note I'm not calling it a rootkit, as I agree with you that's taking it a bit far, but it would theoretically be possible to install one via the same method). Motive: Google wants to put the same always-listening "feature" on Chromium installs as well as plain old Chrome. Means: Google writes and publishes the Chromium source code. Opportunity: Just guessing here, but Google releases this change without announcing it (otherwise why didn't the Debian packagers see it right away?).

Now, once again I'm in agreement with you that calling this a rootkit downloader is a bit much. But what if it had actually been a rootkit, inserted by Google either intentionally (I don't trust them, but honestly why would they do something that nefarious?), or without their knowledge or consent (which would mean they are compromised by an outside actor). That is why this is such a big deal, and kudos to the Debian team for finding it.

It also bothers me that this binary blob, while not actually a rootkit, did have the ability to listen to the computer's microphone 24/7 (yes, that is a "feature" as it is part of Google Now), and can't be audited because there is no publicly available source code. That's quite a security hole; I recall discussing all kinds of financial and personal matters with my wife right in front of our computers. Thankfully they are both desktop machines without built in microphones, but many people these days use laptops as their main computer.

To sum up, I don't like it and I think it's a shitty thing for Google to do. Whether it was intended to be a silent install instead of public knowledge, or just a major gaffe, remains to be seen.
I had never thought of flash cards in that context too before I read Derek Sivers doing it. Enjoying the experience so far!
Oh I see, that's pretty cool!

Perhaps that's because they're usually refillable - the writing tip lasts much longer than the ink supply.
>this is like calling someone a murderer because he went to the same high school as a murderer //

I'd say a closer analogy would be because he had the same blood splatter pattern on his clothes as a murderer. But neither is a useful analogy they're just biased by our perspective on Google.
This reinforces the general problem that strings of characters are bad candidates for authentication. Users generally fit into two categories: those who will use the same password for everything, and those who won't. The latter half is the more technically savvy - which means they were likely to take the appropriate steps, read the appropriate news, and protect themselves against most classes of attacks. In short: the people who are likely the most vulnerable are also the ones that are least equipped to do anything about it.

It's a general problem with username/passwords as authentication and I think this is an interesting space for new start ups and service providers. Even with standards like FIDO, companies will want to be able to integrate it easily into their systems. The faster we can just kill passwords, the better.
Yeah but that's because Mozilla loves javascript and NaCl provides a working alternative.
The BBC should make look closer to home and grow some teeth and balls and challenge the horrendous and repugnant direction in which the UK government is trying to take on privacy, blanket spying on the general public, right to protest and freedom of speech.
So, the best way to use a lock like that would be to pick a non word sequence. And regardless of the combinations these locks and all their derivatives are very easily opened even if you don't know the combination.
The map doesn't actually show the optimal path. It is proven that "loops" (the ways crossing each other) can be straightened, and the new version will be shorter. There is one east of Alberquerque.
Monhegan Island in Maine had a one-time hunt in the mid-1990s to eliminate the deer population (deer had been introduced in 1955 and Lyme disease had become prevalent, with 13% of the island's residents infected). Five years later new cases of Lyme had been greatly reduced). Similar results have been reported elsewhere (http://www.deeralliance.com/node/10).

With 32 million deer in the U.S. and virtually no predators, the obvious approach to controlling the spread of tick borne diseases is to reduce the number of deer.

They're beautiful animals, but like with any other species, including humans, there's such a thing as too many.
South Korea is a good example of how the proliferation of technology doesn't necessarily entail increased political freedom. They might have great internet connectivity, but it comes with all sorts of overt censorship - the government blocks numerous websites, and periodically crack down on 'false rumours' online. Previously they enforced the infamous 'real name' law aimed at preventing anonymity on arbitrarily large websites.

As someone who has run a couple sites like this I can give some insight to that.

You don't necessarily need permission to display an offer but you do need a relationship to get a commission on the sale. These relationships can either be brokered through so called "Affiliate Networks" (most common) or when a site gets big enough they could be direct business development deals with the commerce site's marketing team.

It is a low profit business segment as it is (you have to generate a lot of volume to make serious money) so diluting it by including non-commission websites is not very common.

It is, however, somewhat common to list higher commission products near the top of the list. This is a poor user experience so usually it is only done if the two offers have the same price.
Just watching documentation on people in none-1st-world-countries or even on wildlife animals clearly shows that we are eating wayyyyyyyyyyyy to much for the energy we are losing - that's one reason why I got into intermittent fasting (8/16). This hunger feeling we sense at times has nothing to do what so ever with actual hunger or nutrional depletion.
Lymerix. A lawsuit was filed and the manufacturer pulled it off the market.
The solution to your whiteboard woes: don't use dry-erase markers. Use washable crayons (as sold for small children). You'll never be surprised by an empty marker again. They take a damp cloth to wipe off, but they wipe off completely, regardless of how long they've been on the board.

I'm running Iridium and this module is loaded, at least "chrome://voicesearch/" loads the same info.
I've had Lyme disease twice. And been bitten by ticks many more times.

Lyme is easy to treat if it's found on time. 5 days of antibiotics and all is good. Both times I got it there were the infamous Lyme circles. It's possible to have Lyme without the circles though, so it's a good idea to test for Lyme once the ticks' season is over. Just in case.

Ticks Encephalitis is an entirely different beast though. Get vaccinated for it if you hike/cycle/camp/whatever and your area have even slightest chance of it. It ain't pretty to watch people fight it when there's 30% chance of more or less full recovery.
Hi Chris, thanks for your support.
Your packages looks like very interesting, I couldn't find it before.

About the pool of workers, they share the stack? Or how you keep the same status on each.
That's an interesting result; do you happen to have a citation? I couldn't find one with a few minutes of Google Scholar.

If I understand Concorde's claims correctly, there is still the question of finite numerical precision (it doesn't seem to use MPFR or any other arbitrary precision library). Perhaps the suboptimality of the path is less than 1e-7 or 1e-16 (depending on precision) times the distance between the "looped" cities?

Having said that, one of the authors of Concorde is R. Bixby, a co-author of CPLEX (which was for decades, and may still be, the industry standard LP solver including for branch-and-bound problems). And Chvatal is another very widely regarded LP researcher. So I would take Concorde's claims of optimality at face value (though of course there could be a data input error somewhere).

Edit: Ah, I misunderstood the sense of "loop"; I thought there was a subcircuit (which I believe can be optimal in some cases), but instead there are two segments crossing each other that, per wrk1's comment below, should really be shorter if their destinations were "swapped". Rough Google-maps math suggests that would reduce the distance by ~10 miles out of ~16k, which seems well above numerical precision.
It really looks like it uses the normal way to download extensions; the Web Store.

I'd be more concerned that the only thing the patch seems to do is not activate the hotword extension. It seems to still download and install it. I mean, maybe I'm wrong here. I think that checking through https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/f269d3b5482... for ENABLE_HOTWORDING is the right thing to do if one wants to understand the change that was made.
My father was an old-school physics teacher before he retired. He had the last blackboard in his school. It was glass, painted with special blackboard paint. There were signs hung both sides warning the cleaners never to touch it, ever. Apparently there had been an incident when they'd cleaned a blackboard with silicone polish and completely ruined it.
I work in a .Net house. When we had to move to front end development which required using grunt shock from the command line there was plenty of dissent at how we were being forced back into the "dark ages".

The last time they tried to take on the securitat was over the "dodgy dossier" in the runup to the Iraq war. They lost, quite comprehensively, and are not in a position to ever do this again.

The conservative government is already not keen on the BBC, and the press are happy to attack it to support Sky as an alternative.
I think their data science people don't really respect the users own ability from what I have heard. If someone is rating a film not seen through your platform, it should be obvious that a) they have seen it elsewhere and b) if its a 1 they dont want to see that again
You don't need a citation - look at NM. By straightening the loop, the path will be shorter, due to the triangle inequality.
It doesn't say that. the number $27.5 million is the cut off for a business to be considered a "small business" which would receive special considerations under the law.
Nice project! One little remark: I see you're being slightly lazy and using JSON to save some value conversion work. One problem is that this is not very good from a performance standpoint. The other, more serious issue is that your code will not work if someone tries to pass around a data structure containing NaN value, like []float64{math.NaN()} Got bitten by this problem, had to fix it: https://github.com/contactless/wb-rules/commit/067ff7564f16a...

I think twitter only works if you are "well known" in a specific community (presented at conferences, > 1k followers, etc...). That's been one of the least effective tactics for me.
Yes. It was called LYMErix and is still available for use as a veterinary medicine. There is also a new vaccine being proposed by Valneva (a European biotech company) that will hopefully not meet with the save irrational fate.

Keep it up, though, as black hats need the job security. This is not the kind of comment that I come to HN for.

Cries for tptacek to produce evidence, for example, of the reversibility of Windows code, would be more pleasantly satisfied by some deeper investigation, such as discovering React OS. It would be surprising to me for anyone to conclude that Windows code has not been totally, and publicly, reverse engineered.

It is not a big leap from there for you to investigate from that code the true nature of NSAKEY. My guess is that you would find that there is no there, there.

Your statement My form of security says you (a) have clear requirements proven in practice to work; reminds me of my youth, when I discovered the writings of Dijkstra and others, talking about proving programs correct. While this is a wonderful idea, and a small handful of folks have actually done this, modern business doesn't seem to want to stand still for Category 5 maturity.

While you denigrate OpenSSL and its code quality, keep in mind that several of the high-severity bugs, such as BEAST and CRIME were not code quality bugs, but essentially protocol bugs. The perfectly-specified requirements (implement compression in HTTPS) could have been backed up by code proved correct, and still exhibited the flaw. Similarly for BEAST.

Also, one wonders if you have tried to break real-world crypto. If you haven't, I suggest that you give some of the online exercises a try. It is rather eye-opening.

Finally, many statements in your comments mischaracterize the points arguments make. This has become more than annoying. Please stop.

I also had Lyme and I was also given metronidazole, in combination with other antibiotics. The theory for giving it was that Lyme, during its life cycle, has several forms, including a form that is a bit spore like (that is an informal and non-technical description of what I've read) and normal antibiotics are not effective against the spore form. The theory was that if you had Lyme that recurred often, as I did, it was because some of the Lyme was in a form that could not be reached by stuff such as Biaxin. Therefore, taking a combination of drugs, including metronidazole, was suppose to be more effective than taking any one antibiotic alone. For me, metronidazole did not work, or at least, it did not achieve the goal. It was wonderful for weight loss, but it did not help me beat Lyme. For me, I got over Lyme during an odd episode where I combined Biaxin and fasting (going a week without food, a week when I only had water and high doses of oral Biaxin).
That article has too many flaws to go into...

Such a cute - yet content-free - dismissal. It's also pretty clear from your "critique" that you didn't even read the article - while Sumner's examples do use a positive rate of return, his argument is independent of it.
Yeah absolutely. There's definitely no market for high quality items and people are most decidedly not willing to pay extra for quality. Nope, everyone wants the exact same mass produced crap, which is why everyone shops only at the dollar store and why the terms handmade, handcrafted, and artisinal are now in the popular lexicon.

How  to Help Take Stress Off Your Moving Day
the main goal of CandyJS is allow to other developers build extendable programs without the requirement of compile.

A good example could be a chan bot in Go with plugins written on JS. (like https://github.com/djosephsen/lazlo) but with CandyJS the effort to make this will be minimal, since you can use the same structures on JS and Go.

About the performance, CandyJS javascript is much slower than pure Go, since the reflection is very expensive.

A small quick bench of this example:
https://github.com/mcuadros/go-candyjs/blob/master/examples/...

Pure Go: 165951 requests

CandyJS: 36304 requests

That means that CandyJS is 4,5 times slower than pure Go. Both
I've found that people keep repeating this but it doesn't work. So a couple of places in our office have permanent marker marks with smudges all around it from where someone tried to wipe it off with alcohol then a dry-erase marker.
I think the confusion stems from your verbing of "wall".
Indeed, I have disagreed with pcwalton in the past over the inclusion of non-cycle-collected reference counting as garbage collection, because I feel that it unnecessarily muddies the waters in a world where "garbage collection" is so often understood to be merely a shorthand for "tracing garbage collection". And intuitively to me anyway, the phrase "garbage collector" implies something that is doing the collecting! In any case, the phrase has been too thoroughly co-opted. I prefer that we think up a new term to account for non-collected reference counting, such as "dynamic lifetime management". Propose your own term, I'm not picky. :)
It's nice to see there's now a bug bounty for Android, but I wonder why it has taken so long.

I don't have a citation at hand, but the proof is simple enough. It does rely on the triangle inequality and can be used to construct a quick approximator for this Euclidean variation of TSP. Granted, the math is different on a surface of a sphere. The error could be caused by imprecise input values.
