I’m surprised, but I like this (I typically don’t like or agree with textbook comparisons, but I think this tour is mostly right). The Sedgewick text, Algorithms should be in there too but the author apparently didn’t read that. My own ex

Good luck getting this adopted. A couple of months ago I was trying to responsibly disclose the complete exposure of every customer's name, email address, phone number and the last four digits of their credit card to a public QSR compa

I don't wonder about why we haven't heard from alien civilizations because it's statistically unlikely for us to ever perceive them (putting aside the assumption that we'd recognize their form of life or language in the

Cool project. After a cursory look through several of the top lines in different industries, it looks like your system strongly favors highly specified descriptions combined with positive numerical growth. For example: Decreased uninstalla

Yep you misunderstood, I was saying WireGuard has similar code complexity to the Go VPN implementation linked here :)

by dsacco 9y ago
For what it’s worth, this only really applies to a comparison against OpenVPN or IPSec. WireGuard has similar code complexity and size, and is approximately the same when compared against the incumbent VPN options.

Sorry for the paywall link, but this WSJ article has a fascinating video in it. A group of private researchers outside the US intelligence community describes the ways they’re able to identify sensitive details about North Korea’s nuclear c

Have you been to Puerto Rico? It's quite beautiful! I was there just this past January. You just described a large and diverse island with millions of people as some sort of homogeneous culture, using terms like "the place" a

I think you're being pretty hyperbolic in your reaction here. A lot of people like to indulge in their morbid curiosity, and they're free to do so. If that means aimless speculation about the cause of someone's death as a mea

Thanks for taking the criticism so well! Good luck on the feature enhancements.

I’m going to be really honest, and I mean this critique in the most constructive way possible: this release feels very rushed in terms of documentation, presentation and technical limitations. A few observations: 1. You wrote a C++ API for

Okay, but (candidly) he's also selling something, so isn't an independent citation valuable? Is it wrong to ask for more information?

Something I’m curious about regarding Mr. Money Mustache - is he actually retired, in the sense that he doesn’t do anything to bring in income (except through passive index investing)? It seems like he has a brand that is pretty lucrative,

To be fair, while he isn’t giving hard answers to a lot of questions in this thread, you’re being really antagonistic with that last line. I’d like more information too, but it doesn’t improve the odds he’ll answer to your satisfaction by p

I would assume because the CDN customers make downstream promises to their own customers that the data will maintain losslessness. There are two potential reasons why that guarantee might be useful that I can think of: - your product is exp

Do you have a citation on hand for this? I’m not familiar with the industry or incumbents and don’t know one way or the other.

I would, but unfortunately I’ve not read a greater proportion of the ones in this round :)

Hey, this is awesome! You literally built a product I specifically asked for here in a thread here recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15002985 (it’s idea #2). Great job! If you put a Massdrop-style portal here I

Thanks for that clarification. I interpreted that paragraph to be somewhat contradictory (“we like this but we’re moving away from it because it’s not our job to convince people it’s fine”). Your interpretation makes more sense and provides

This isn't an anecdotal fallacy, because those returns are empirically demonstrable and proven. Moreover, I agree that investing in hedge funds is bad in general - I've never claimed otherwise. My position in this thread and other

This is an excellent comment, to which I might add: framing a persuasive argument based on the position that DRM (or nearly anything) is an unequivocal bad is very nearly guaranteed to be untenable and inherently inconsistent. If you truly

He didn't say those interviews are necessary. He said that being willing to put up with them is necessary to "play" (by definition, otherwise you won't do them), even if it's not sufficient to "win". Again
