OMEMO actually implemented the double-ratchet algorithm developed as part of the Signal Protocol. Signal, in my eyes, is still the benchmark for balance between usability and security. That's fine if you prefer XMPP w/ OMEMO, and

Ah, Electron /sigh. Luckily this is fixed in the latest version (v1.11.0), so if you're a Signal user (you should be!) and you haven't upgraded already, you should upgrade immediately.

You should probably talk to an attorney, but as I understand, Florida isn't a bad state to consider either. It really comes down to cost savings and specific laws, and where you're primarily doing business.

> They make the company pay them dividends while saddling the company with their debt. Yes that is true. Is the sum of dividends over X years >= the amount of equity wiped out in a Chapter 7 liquidation? Impossible to say... the compa

I don't think you fully understand how this works. Bain doesn't get off the hook here with zero losses. In these bankruptcy situations, equity holds (Bain) usually get their equity stake wiped completely. If they had hundreds of m

In OOP, a factory is a pretty common design pattern, and I'm a bit surprised you've never seen it in 15 years of software development... considering it's taught in schools these days. In a nutshell, a factory is a class who&#

Regarding 4, sort of defeats the purpose of using OpenVPN no?

Agreed on this front. Github pages is super simple with Jekyll. Literally push to your branch and it's deployed. This seems a bit overkill. Still interesting though.

Good stuff. Came into this thread expecting the top comment to be a know-it-all answer trying to "debunk" the article, as so commonly seen on HN. This is a perfect, well-researched response.

The name "Jonathan Blow" and the words "full of himself" pretty much go hand-in-hand.

Classic victim blaming. What you say is mostly true, but it completely glosses over the potential issues raised by this post. So what if the author made a mistake about using Freelancer.com? That doesn't change the fact that what Freel

Bernie didn't win. More people voted for Trump than Bernie. One was an asshole, the other wasn't. > Especially factoring in grass roots support, he was more popular than Hillary If that is objectively true, he should have won t

I agree with you, but without getting too political, the people who voted for Trump most likely think he's technically correct as well.

"At least he tells it like it is" right? Forget that he's an asshole about it. Pretty much the same reason everybody voted for Trump.

Just use public final. That is the defacto way to make immutable data classes. Why would a data class need non final fields?

I recommend Kinesis. I was in this same position a nearly couple years ago and Kafka is seriously complicated to manage and run. Kinesis is super simple, 100% managed, and has about the same semantics as Kafka. Also the AWS ecosystem around

Speak for yourself... that's quite the generalization. I'm a programmer, and I care when something doesn't have tests, especially if it's my own code.

Kotlin has been doing null safety since release. I suggest checking it out if that sort of thing excites you. It's probably my favorite language currently.

That doesn't show much besides that you're basically on par with the latest version of pgAdmin. What about real benchmarks here. "Faster than everything else." In what ways? Faster queries, analysis, what? All I see in t

That's a bold claim. Do you have any data to back that up? Benchmarks? Comparisons? What about resource usage? There's not much information on neither your github page nor your website itself. Just trying to find a reason why I sh

I'm with you, and I don't even find this particular example that interesting or accurate. You just re-run the same simulation over and over without any control of the initial or boundary conditions.
