You missed the last paragraph, I think: > For a production implementation it may be worth packing i into the flags field since it only needs a few bits, even with larger alphabets. Also, I bet, as in Deutsch-Schorr-Waite, the p field cou

As long as one keeps in mind that the perceptions flowing through that fire hose are skewed in a way simply by virtue of flowing through that particular fire hose.

If Trump stories are making it to the front page (which I haven't seen much of personally), isn't that because people who read HN find them interesting?

Why do you think they are trying to reinvent threads? Looks to me like it is a basic nested event loop.

To be fair, if I repurpose a term that is widely used in one way to mean something else, the confusion that ensues is kind of my fault.

Yep, you are right, I missed that "i" was initialized twice; when I see "i=0" in a for loop I assume it isn't initialized right above (otherwise, why put the "i=0" in the for loop at all?).

Right. "Java Applications". Not the JVM.

> an underpaid person is a time-bomb I disagree. There may be some instances of this, but there are also instances of people who love their job and would not change it for more money. Money isn't the only motivator.

No disagreement here; I just don't know how "companies might crash and burn because they pay their employees lower than market rate" equates to "companies that pay their employees lower than market rate should crash an

I'm not arguing one way or the other about open salaries, but should a company really crash and burn for hiring someone who was willing to work for some price $X, even if it is lower than their peer? I mean the person did accept the jo

I don't think this is right, is it? I think this change is more about consistent performance than startup performance. For me the JVM starts really quickly; the only performance issues I've seen there are related to large bloated

I disagree; with encapsulation, polymorphism, and composition, Rust seems OO enough to not make the term "meaningless". At least, not according to the widely used definitions I've read of OO.

I see beginner questions at the top of most tools on S.O. I don't think that implies anything about the UI of the tool. If anything, it probably implies something of the popularity. (I'm not arguing whether git's ui is good o

If you are a MITM you don't have to prompt non-2fa users for 2fa. You just replay their credentials, live, on the real site, and if the real site is asking you for 2fa, then you ask the real user for their 2fa.

And even that isn't good enough when you get mitmd.

Why couldn't the attacker page pass on the 2fa token immediately to Google and log in as the victim? Then the attacker would have a month or so, not 30 seconds, with which to abuse their account

Which supports my point. Price isn't set relative to production cost. It is set relative to value to the users.

Who said anything about only binary installers? I specifically mentioned install scripts as being different from the subject of the discussion, and you seem to be conflating the two.
