I agree with your point - as hackers, we are often too quick to dismiss something as "nothing new" because we have seen something similar before ("I don't need Dropbox, I have rsync").

That being said, in this case these three dots have been joined up multiple times already, so there really is nothing new here. The interesting challenge is in reducing latency so that remote games are actually playable when the server is not on the same LAN.

Why you should wait on upgrading to .Net 4.6
I honestly didn't realize that Apple ever figured that out. I started out on Macs (Mac+), but haven't had one since the '90s. I used one earlier this year trying to do stuff for my cousin on her machine. That mouse was truly bizarre. You'd accidentally touch it a certain way and weird shit would happen.

I'm sure it's great once you learn it and get used to it, but not exactly intuitive.
Well, it kind of makes a lot of sense. If you've got an ultrabook or something similar. Laptop graphics cards are very underpowered on the whole...

The thing with "rolling-releases" is that updates will bite you in the ass exactly then when you have absolutely no time to deal with them.

So even if the system boots, it doesn't mean anything because booting a system is only one out of 100+ use cases that you will never be able (or willing) to test after each pacman -Syu..
It works on a semantic level (i.e. what the code actually means), rather than fingerprinting strings. This means that reordering code segments, renaming variables, inlining or lifting functions wouldn't affect a match, if the code is semantically equivalent.

Shared hosting is a mugs game these days and has been for a long time, both for the hosts and the users. The only way to compete on any scale other than "hosting stuff for family & friends or your own clients" is to be deliberately deceptive in this way. Another common trick is "unlimited databases of any size (but we'll limit I/O so much that it'll never be practical to store more than some tens of Mb)".

I used to run a small host many years ago. I quickly got out of the business.

There are three classes of people still using shared hosting:

1. Those who know the game but to whom it really doesn't matter: they have little content and/or it is of such niche interest that they are not going to be anywhere near the limits associated with "unlimited". They are aware of the game and using a shared host is either habit or just the quickest way to put the files.scripts out there. They have little or no budget - as soon as they need to pay anything they'll switch to a VPS (but can't be bothered running one right now as they don't need to immediately).

2. Those who don't know any better and who have bought into the marketing of the other hosts. They will expect you to provide the same (or more) for the same (or less) that the other hosts are promising and when you tell them that you can't they will be disappointed, sometimes incredulous, even occasionally offended (as if you telling them it is not possible to make money that way is insulting, i.e. telling them their expectations are wrong is tantamount to telling them they are stupid).

3. Those who know the game full well are and playing it to the max. They've already been pushed off several hosts for using too much of their "unlimited" resources and fully expect to get pushed off yours at some point too (though they'll still kick up an almighty fuss when it does actually happen).

Class 1 won't spend any money, class 2 and 3 will want to pay very little and will eventually try to kill your business via bad reviews when you let them go or otherwise don't give them what they demand.

Hi Mehr

I'm sorry to hear about this, but glad to know you are determined to fight this back.

I'm also Iranian, right now living in Canada. I will register ASAP, hope it can help you or other similar patients.

My sister was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 18 as well (she is living in Iran) around 7 years ago, but she was cured and she is been living a healthy life since then. Don't loose your hope, try to stay positive, you definitely know how important it is.

One more thing, I think it's amazing that you have started this thread to discuss this. You can start an effort to raise awareness on Leukemia and use your technology background to reach as many people as possible. Hopefully one day enough people will register in BMDW, so no one has to stay in waiting list any more.
I understand the argument but it's very weak because open source projects have the same fundamental problem and we have something approaching two decades of security problems caused by it. The underlying challenge is that anyone can ship a copy of something without making a binding commitment to ship updates.

Point 3 is only true if you cherry-pick “OSS” to mean “People who installed Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, etc. themselves and religiously install updates”. OSS also includes things like the various forks and boutique distributions which started drifting behind, all of those insecure libraries where someone installed a copy of OpenSSL, libtiff/libpng/etc., or almost any PHP app, and never came back to update it.

This problem is only going to get worse as the IoT gold rush continues and all of these “Two EEs and a web developer” companies ship a device shortly before folding, being bought out, etc. and there's no indication to the customer when it's no longer safe to have that device on a network.

Note that this isn't saying that open-source is insecure – the same problems routinely happen with commercial software, too – but rather that it's not a magic wand for solving the problem. Apple ships updates promptly because their reputation depends on it, which is the exact same mechanism which keeps Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu, etc. going, too, but that approach doesn't work in the case where the real customer isn't the person using the device. As long as Samsung keeps Verizon happy, they only care about the user experience to the extent that many people would choose to buy another not-Apple device instead of theirs.

Ultimately, I think we really need legal changes to ban corporate attempts to shirk liability for flaws in their products and sharp restrictions on the ability to prevent users from securing their own devices – something like a vendor being required to publish the full source, build toolchain, hardware unlocks, etc. if they go more than a couple months without releasing a patch for a known problem in a particular device.

Besides, in the end, even assuming you are completely correct, their stock market it completely decoupled from their economic situation. Even if their economy was growing 10%+, the valuation (F P/E & P/E) is extremely exaggerated.

they just need to communicate their priorities to that manager

Nobody said they should be, silly. But writing like this implies that the writer thinks so. Otherwise ("they communicated their varied and opposing priorities to their manager who was more confused than ever") the point is lost.

Phooey. The linked article that was supposed to substantiate minimum wage as a reason for so many closures explicitly says:

"Though none of our local departing/transitioning restaurateurs who announced their plans last month have mentioned [$15 minimum wage] as an issue", the wage increase is a factor to watch in the future.
Well, this is a list of nothing but truisms. Take each of the "foundations" and do a simple test: state the opposite and check if it makes any sense; if it doesn't make sense at all, then it probably means they aren't really saying anything worthy.

The said "foundations", stripped down of verbosity, are:

* Consistency;

* Convention;

* Ask for minimum input;

* Load and react fast;

* Use animation to communicate changes;

* Avoid clutter;

* Avoid content which screams "fake".

Now, would anyone advocate for the opposite of consistency, convention, minimizing user work or being fast/giving feedback? This is pretty much the same as saying that the foundation of flying a plane is to not crash said plane. True, but not very helpful.
This is a pathetic answer, but for me its probably an NLP web endpoint I built. The task was to take a query and categorize it into one of several categories provided when the server was started. So, for example, if a user submitted the query "barbie doll", the endpoint would return the three most likely categories: "toys", "clothes" and let's say "office supplies".

The way I did this was by using NLTK to compare the hypernym paths of the words in the query against the hypernym paths of the category names. I wrapped it in a tiny flask app and it was surprisingly fast enough for an MVP.

I think the strength of your statement here is not warranted – in the context of security, there's no flaw from doing that. Likewise, saying "HMAC" is "the right way"... well, I wouldn't agree with that.

If you do HMAC, you only have time-based expiry. Thomas was talking about tokens sitting in email inboxes that are still valid and are effective passwords... you can't make your HMAC tokens expire as soon as they're used, so that's still a concern.

A habit to work on is to make it a rule to verify your solutions, and especially the "fast" ones.

It's ok to do "fast thinking" if you verify, and go back and think through it properly if you fail (and hopefully over time learn to recognise what type of problems you know well enough for them to be worth making a "fast" attempt at first vs the ones you should just think through slowly from the outset.
Possibly… I don't really understand how that stock market-economy relationship works.

It's also entirely possible that the CPC could survive a full blown high street recession. I don't really know. But this is a game of he thinks she thinks that I think. The CPC seems to be reacting (so far, not that severely) in ways that suggest they are worried. I suspect they are worried about political consequences, not just economic ones.

Nothing has happened yet. I'm just speculating. But, I'll prick my ears if scapegoats start emerging, arrests happen, someone is accused of intentionally sabotaging the chinese economy…

Ask HN: Best way to archive old pictures?
Hey HN,

So I recently went back home and found my family's old pictures. Some of these date back to the late 19th century.

As you can imagine, a lot of these images are not in the best of shape. I don't think they will survive the next two decades.

I want to create a digital archive of these images that's accessible to all my family members. Essentially, I'm looking for:

1. Cloud based storage

2. Ability to create albums

3. Ability to tag people

4. Can make albums selectively available to some people

5. Can give 'admin' rights to some family members so they can add/remove pictures as needed.

I'm willing to pay good money for a solution like this. Obviously, want something that won't shut down in six months.

Any suggestions?
Also, full employment usually implies rising wages as employers chase scarce talent. This has not been very visible in the US. Perhaps the ability for employers to invest in the global talent pool could be tempering this affect.
Yes, it is easily avoided. But it is still violated by lots of PHP projects, including well-known projects with large userbases:

* Wordpress
* Tiki
* ... and so on.

I don't think this is by accident: This technique is too old and well-known to be ignored by large projects. Rather, they conciously don't do that to cause less hassle for the occasional admin: Those can simply dump it into some directory and don't have to setup a proper docroot or anything. And extra work for those who want a more secure setup.

This is clearly a usability versus security issue, resolved in the unfortunate, usual way.
When talking about graphics that's correct, but I think in this kind of context the "8-bit" refers more to (nostalgic, rose-tinted memories of) the visual style of so-called 8-bit consoles, in particular the NES/Famicom, and most consoles that we consider 8-bit didn't allow for anywhere near 256 colours on-screen. Here the 8-bit qualifier refers to the 6502 CPU's word size; the NES in-particular only had a total palette size of 54 colours [1], and additional colour limitations meant that in practice you'd rarely see more than around ~25 at a time.

Or take the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, a 16-bit console; its colour capabilities didn't give anything close to 2^16 = 65536 on-screen colours. Instead you got a 9-bit palette with only around 64 on-screen colours [2].

XEN embargoes patches to make sure they are released as synchronous as possible (i.e. patches hit the major distros and are deployed to all major deployments at the same time).
