What are the viable alternatives that you have in mind?

Perhaps a dumb question, but how did you restore the data without the keys? Was a prior backup unencrypted?

The federal body said work it was doing to revise and update information about where the historic quake struck had caused computer systems to misinterpret the data and think it was seeing a novel event.

It doesn't seem that implausible for a program to be reading through a dataset and issue a notice for a measurement above some value. If the dataset encoded years in just two digits, it (almost) makes sense that the program would report it 100 years off.

Imagine:

    with open(file) as f:
        for record in f:
            year, month, day, time, magnitude = record.split()
            
            if magnitude > 5:
                raise_alarm()

On iOS, I've used Pocket Earth for years and really like it. They added topographic maps awhile back, and also have integrations with Wikipedia/Wikivoyage. I have pins and stars of POIs from all my trips saved (and exported) through that app.

That's more or less the situation I'm in, but with multiple applications. The idea is to pull out the "identity x permission x resource" logic so that each new project doesn't need to re-implement it..

Definitely going to be looking more into this. I am just about to start a project that needs ACLs, and I was surprised to find that I was going to have to write a solution myself.

In case I just missed them, are there some comparable projects to this? Is there an established library in the space?

I'm not too familiar with how heavily locked down iOS is: does this "WebView only" policy only apply to apps released via the AppStore? Meaning, can I build locally and sideload install an app that uses my own engine? And if that existed, could I open source it for others to use?

This reminds me of the 7 Up Series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_Series), where the same people are interviewed every 7 years, starting about age 7. The director of that series is unfortunately quite heavyhanded in the questions he asks, but the project itself is quite interesting. Next episode will show in 2019, I believe.

It's because it's been submitted before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3220746

That is entirely the point of the article.

Published today, and showed up at the top of my NYTimes Now app

Are they merging code from neovim, or is it a parallel implementation?

I'm reading through now, and would love to contribute. I've been trying to break into this space (systems programming, especially OS and compilers) for a long time and the biggest hurdle for me has been to actually do it. I really appreciate that this project is focused on explaining just enough to jump in, complemented with nods to further resources that can add on to whatever knowledge the reader brings.

Steve, thanks for all your work on this and with Rust. Your attitude toward teaching and your writing ability go a long way in encouraging people to learn and in having the lesson be worthwhile.

This looks outstanding, thanks for the link.

Edit: The original submission (see dang's post) references a similar set of maps[0] for the Mississippi River, which are equally beautiful and even more impressive.

I suppose just that it can be difficult to get an ampersand right drawing it straight-on, let alone in reverse. The painter accidentally painted the "Q" backwards (forwards, relative to them); it probably took some concentration to get the ampersand correct.

"Most apparent is the backwards 'Q', which Samarskaya surmises might have been an accident due to _painting the lettering from inside._"

* Why does this ensure constant time?

* Why is constant time desirable here, if the operation can be quicker for some inputs?

*On iPad. This gesture does nothing on my iPhone 5s running iOS 9.

That postscript sounds interesting, is it available anywhere?

zsh has an option to automatically print the time of commands exceeding a threshold. See here for a brief example: http://nuclearsquid.com/writings/reporttime-in-zsh/

Awhile back I read another disaster recovery story, along the lines of recovering a long pipeline command from a long-running process by reading the resident memory of the containing shell. I've not managed to find it, but I think it was posted to HN sometime last year or so. Anyone know about it?

What does "order" mean here? Is a register different from any other, except by conventional use?

If anyone from basho is here, the link[0] at the end of this article leads to a 404. I guess it might've been moved to this[1].

It's all there in the CSS. Looks like "Amaranth" and "Droid Serif".

Some sort of minimap for navigation would be useful. Also a zoom, the text is a bit small for my eyes.

Edit: browser zoom works well. There's a legend in the lower left.

Not meaning to bring up a Rust vs Go debate, but since there are a few comments claiming that this is a waste of time, I figured it's worth mentioning the Rust based re-implementation of coreutils:
